Wow! Jasmine Crockett just endorsed Xavier Becerra for governor, and I was here to see it. Amazing morning. [Dulan’s Restaurant]

Apparently there was a city meeting in Hutchins, Texas, tonight. Hutchins is the location of DHS's newly announced 10,000-person concentration camp. What I've been told is that city officials were unanimously and adamantly opposed to it. Unfortunately, I'm seeing this nowhere online.

"Four hours after his arrest, he was taken to a hospital emergency room in Edina with swelling and bruising around his right eye and bleeding. A CT scan revealed at least eight skull fractures and life-threatening hemorrhages in at least five areas of his brain..." apnews.com/article/immi...

⚠️A decorated Iraq war veteran, Sascha Riley, was trafficked in the Epstein/Trump ring when he was between 9-13. His testimony included statements about witnessing snuff films. THIS is why tRUMP is trying to burn down the world. You can read and listen here: lisevoldeng.substack.com/p/dont-worry...

🚨 The White House is now actively covering up a murder.

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

I love this. Paula Borsook getting her due at last, with her prescient 1999 book, "Cyberselfish."

392,000 American MAGA followers.

Why do they keep saying this is suicide? And until these private detention centers allow regular oversight visits by elected officials, every death is potentially murder.

Questions: 1) Who are these "ICE agents"? 2) What is their law enforcement background? 3) Are they, in effect, bounty hunters? Do they receive a bonus for every arrest? 4) Why are they masked? 5) Who told them to wear masks? 6) Have they been encouraged to be violent? If so, by whom?

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

WTF?!? Border Czar Tom Homan claimed that ICE and Border Patrol agents don’t need probable cause to detain people they suspect are undocumented, saying they can do so based on factors like physical appearance. This is straight-up racial profiling, not law enforcement.

If we had a functioning fourth estate every single television news program and news paper would be asking sitting members of Congress how they feel about the arrest and treatment of Senator Padilla.

Did Trump’s FBI just arrest a sitting U.S. Senator—at a Kristi Noem press conference? 🚨 BREAKING: MSNBC is reporting California Senator Alex Padilla was shoved from the press conference and handcuffed. This isn’t okay. Everyone should be alarmed by this!

The assault and arrest of a sitting US SENATOR (Senator Alex Padilla) is a RED LINE! Call your senators office to demand they stand up against this!

Wonder how many masked ICE squad members are pardoned J6 insurrectionists, Proud Boys, 3 Percenters, KKK, etc. I think that might be quite the Venn diagram.

when they hire a 22 year old to lead the domestic terrorism unit of DHS, it tells you they're going to turn a blind eye to domestic terrorists. Hands off militias, bombers and shooters. I bet they pardon the next Timothy McVey.

22 year old Trump campaign worker Thomas Fugate, who has been appointed by Trump to lead a DHS counter-terrorism unit.

Rep. Julie Johnson to Noem: "Are you aware that ICE agent jackets are available on Etsy for $20? Anybody can throw a mask on and run around and terrorize people of color without any regard for the law because your agency does not have proper protocols to make sure your agents are clearly identified"

Two airliners abandoned landing attempts at Washington’s Reagan National Airport on Thursday afternoon when an Army Black Hawk took a “scenic route” near the flight path and circled the Pentagon before landing at a military heliport.

This is ominous. I can’t see a single ship coming into or going out of the Golden Gate.

I absolutely love this idea.

Someone at the American Bar Association ate their Wheaties this morning.

Be on guard against Newspeak. Avoid repeating Newspeak phraseology like "DEI". People. Hardworking people of color, women, gays and other minorities. American workers. Historically disadvantaged groups. To repeat their language, even in protest, reinforces it. Fight the drift. #newspeak

Oh not if we have something to say about it Evidence being leveraged is probably responsible for a great portion of why we’re here #Musk and #Trump both have heavy ties to #Epstein and #Maxwell Let’s bury them in their own vile misdeeds

I keep thinking of it as DODGE.

Here's the thing. Democracy is not the most efficient way to run a country. You have to listen to everybody, you have to come to a consensus. It takes time. There are debates. But it is the most desirable form of government, the one most likely to favor the ordinary citizen.

Dem senators rising to the occasion. Hold that floor.

Political purges in the military do not strengthen the military, they weaken it. Cronyism does not strengthen the military, it weakens it. Power grabs do not strengthen the country, they weaken it. A broad base is stronger than a narrow one.

Doomscrolling so intensely, almost missed this! THE LONG GAME, the noir film based on my story "The Method" comes out on Valentine's Day! Theatrical, streaming, the works. Stars Kathleen Turner, Sekai Abeni and Jackie Earle Haley. Nice to get a little good news. #filmnoir

no funding if it seems like the research MIGHT involve a woman or a nonwhite person

6. Other Musk underlings embedded at OPM following President Donald Trump’s inauguration include: Amanda Scales (xAI) Brian Bjelde (SpaceX) Riccardo Biasini (Boring Company) Gavin Kliger The arrangement presents acute privacy and security risks, one of the OPM staffers said.

Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"

At last check, Houston is still on the Gulf of Mexico.

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Diversity is strength. Nature supplies nothing but diversity. "Purity" is unnatural.

Unelected agents of a oligarch have seized core services of the state without legal sanction or authorization; yes, that's a coup
