Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

Another reminder that not all the activism you see is visible

New — I spoke to eight trans people in Kansas about the new state law that invalidated their driver’s licenses overnight, what’s it’s like to live there right now, plus details of two DMV emails exclusively obtained by The Handbasket that shed light on the law’s chaotic and cruel rollout:

We obtained the Dilley detention center’s 911 call logs. Among them are pleas for help for toddlers having trouble breathing, a pregnant woman who passed out and an elementary-school-aged girl having seizures.

More people need to read these emails. They show that Epstein, with the help of Norway’s former prime minister, tried to help Russia blackmail Trump. The emails:

There is a conceivable future in which Jews in America are put in concentration camps. This would occur if the extreme antisemites/far right win the civil war for the future of the Republican Party. This is not a wild idea: people are already being placed in camps. We would just be one more group.

GOOD TROUBLE: Call your dem members of Congress and tell them to boycott the State of the Union *unless* they’re one of the members escorting Epstein survivors.

thinking about how Savannah Guthrie had to cancel her trip to work the Olympics because of her mom’s kidnapping but the guy who heads up the investigative body handling the case was posting pictures of himself in the US hockey locker room today lol

So the President of the United States illegally taxed our groceries, clothes, and other basics goods for nearly a year. Where’s our refund?

May we rage when we must & rest when we can. May we build the peace we so desperately need. May we turn our hands, in all things, to the justice that peace requires. The only liberation is a shared liberation. May we have courage sufficient to build it. Shabbat shalom ❤️

@govpritzker.illinois.gov you’re a fantastic gov, but please don’t refer to survivors and victims as “young women” when so many were young GIRLS.

NEW: A page from Bondi's burn book. This is a list of the searches by Rep Jayapal of the unredacted Epstein files. That means the DOJ grabbed her search terms from the computers they set up for members of congress to view the Epstein files to use as ammunition. The photo is from Reuters.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Hey, Propaganda Barbie: We aren’t moving on from people trafficking 10-year-old children and this administration covering it up. Ever.

1. Chappell Roan says she is no longer represented by the Wasserman agency, which is owned by major Democratic donor and LA Olympics chairman Casey Wasserman. This comes after emails between Wasserman and Ghislaine Maxwell were revealed in the last Epstein files dump.

Bad Bunny understood the assignment…

They looked for “Don T” in the Epstein files and redacted all instances, which means they also redacted a lot of “don’t”

Imagine seeing photos and videos of ugly old men raping underage girls and thinking, "I need to protect those horrible men at all costs."? Pam Bondi is a soulless villain.

There is no manner in which ICE agents now present themselves, no language they will direct at citizens or immigrants, no abuse or brutality they undertake, and no slaying they will commit that can at this point shock or surprise me. These thugs are not law enforcement. They are S.A. brownshirts.

Parents are afraid to send their kids to school, classrooms sit half-empty, children are being taken to detention facilities. We’ve crossed a line. I stood with education leaders to discuss the growing harm federal actions are causing to children, families, and our schools.

Dear @governor.pa.gov: Holocaust survivors have asked if they can hide targeted Haitians in their senior living apartments. bsky.app/profile/cram...

Tear gas is banned in international warfare, yet classified as a “riot control agent” that law enforcement can use for crowd control. “It just doesn’t work well, and it hits the weakest people the most, and causes the most complications in them,” an anesthesiology professor at Duke University said.

#Epstein #EpsteinFiles

Donald has now been covering up the Epstein files for 40 days past the date they were legally due. He’s a pedophile protector. a a Donald also pardoned several J6 terrorists that have since been re-arrested for child molestation. And many of his supporters and pastors have been arrested as pedos.

Yes, they will "just" bring in someone else. Yup. And they will spend time doing it. And they will spend resources. And confusion will be layered atop chaos & authority will be undermined & wicked people will fight amongst themselves. And they will be weaker. And we'll keep pushing. And we'll win.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

“This is a preschool you stupid motherf*ckers!” (From Somali Snaps)

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years. These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

Shit’s so bad in Minnesota that he’s gonna have to release the Epstein files to distract from it

Interesting moment in the post-Trump succession struggle. 1/

Stephen Miller is directly responsible for the deaths, violence, and chaos from Trump Administration's lawless, violent rampage across America. He must be fired and held accountable.

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

This.

ho lee shit

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

Cat wandered in front of the camera during the #aurora long exposure

Jennings: Let's not get our knickers in a twist here McGowan: Why are you talking like that? It's insane. Your attitude is just horrifying…

I am not exaggerating when I say ICE functions as a terrorist organization in the Twin Cities. The goal seems to be to harass and frighten people (the ones who are lucky enough to not be abducted, at least) and it's deeply unsettling when you learn they're in your neighborhood.

The Civil Rights Division is going to charge a Black Man under the Ku Klux Klan Act on MLK day. Do I have that right?

Why is nobody talking about how the Epstein files are now 30 days past due? Release the Epstein files.

It will become increasingly important for people to take video and protect and save that video so that when there is finally an accounting for what’s happening, there will be evidence.

BREAKING: Medical examiner says death of ICE detainee was a HOMICIDE - a witness says he was choked to death by GUARDS. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

His 6 month old stopped breathing! HIS SIX MONTH OLD STOPPED BREATHING! A father was getting his kids out of the neighborhood because it was unsafe & ICE threw flash bangs & tear gas at his car with children & a baby inside! His 6 month old stopped breathing & all the children were hospitalized!

Stop saying we shouldn’t impeach Nazis because they’ll be replaced by someone worse. We should never stop fighting to remove these evil monsters. Don’t obey in advance.

"Fourth graders spent the week building walls of snow at recess to protect their classmates from ICE."

Someone bought the domain Nazis.us and pointed it to the DHS website. #GoodTrouble
