The guy who owns Amazon shutting down the books section of the Washington Post is beyond parody

here's younger sheldon, 15 years ago, complaining about the gop doing exactly what the dems should be doing right now

They are 100% going to try to kill our ability to vote easily and fairly. Fight now and fight hard.

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

I just have to point out that you have to seek admission from every federal court you want to argue before. Yes, some of them you can waive into, but some of them you can't. This will not work.

Hey, hey. Look, he's watching us!

Mackenzie Scott should buy the Washington Post.

DHS is planning 23 new detention centers that would more than double the number of people in ICE custody, detaining an additional 76,500 people, according to Bloomberg.

Jesus Christ.

It really bums me out that Klobuchar, who was instrumental in normalizing Trump as just another political adversary, is almost certainly going to be the next governor of Minnesota, a state currently paying a severe price for that normalization of fascism.

So far, he’s tackling easy things that fall under “he can do that?” And the. small things will start to add up. It’s still too early to tell, for certain, but enough moves like this coupled with some signature big wins (and few to no big losses), and Mamdani could be viewed as transformative.

This is why winning the midterms itself isn't a strategy. Trump plans to ignore the results. Acknowledging this doesn't make you a doomer, but it does mean you have to plan for worst case scenarios. We gotta be ready, especially since they're telling us the plan outright.

Believe your own eyes. Nothing about this is normal. Trump and his goon squad are trying to undermine a fundamental principle of our democracy: free and fair elections.

There is no legitimate reason for a sitting president to be in communication with field agents during an investigation. The Fulton County ballot seizure is entirely compromised and corrupt.

This is really heinous.

I heard it all! 😂😂😂😂

The ACLU wants to hear from any families with kids or anyone who was significantly impacted by the use of chemical munitions at yesterday’s protest. Please email my office so we can help connect you with their legal team.

'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once

Not ICE, but CBP. ICE is terrible, but CBP is orders of magnitude worse. In many ways, abolishing or radically overhauling CBP is of greater urgency than ICE, but likely tougher to do. One can argue that ~all of ICE's duties can be reallocated. Harder to say that with CBP.

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm. The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him. Happy Black History Month.

She broke no law and yet... This is the definition of a police state.

This is one of the images I was sent by a observer on the scene and it’s absolutely fucking heartbreaking. Things are absolutely accelerating here again.

Measles has one of the highest basic reproduction numbers (R₀) of any disease (12 to 18), meaning one infected person can spread it to 12 to 18 others in a fully susceptible population, making it extremely contagious. Need 95% vaccination status to achieve herd immunity. Get vaccinated!!

ICYMI: The US is currently holding three times as many people in immigrant detention as were detained in the Nazi concentration camp system in spring 1939 — six years into the Third Reich, and just before the start of World War II.

Two years from now, the Trump Kennedy Center will restart its entertainment operations with a season of the Trump National Orchestra, consisting of three guys on kazoos and an amateur oboist, playing the entire oeuvre of Wagner and a special showing of Triumph of the Will narrated by Dean Cain.

Chotiner pitching another no-hitter.

In the south side of Minneapolis, community members have started setting up filter blockades- which are make shift roundabouts. The intent is to slow down the erratic ICE driving behavior among other things. Full report to come on @statuscoupnews.bsky.social

I testified Friday before Gov. Pritzker's commission studying abuses of ICE and CBP and tried to explain how the agencies went so far off track. It's actually way worse than I ever realized. Please read and share my testimony as Congress considers reform: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/accountabi...

There are four more students from Liam's MN school district in federal detention in Dilley, TX, two of them from the same school as Liam. A second grader, a fourth grader, a fifth grader, and a high-schooler.

AR Moxon with another killer read.

On the topic of “our” duty to persuade abusers, a tale: —— THE FINGER-TAKER’S SON Whenever the king became displeased with one of his subjects, he would send out his soldiers, and before long the offender would find themselves in the basement of the king’s finger-taker.

burn this into your memory: iPhone users, you can disable Face ID and Touch ID by holding the wake button and either volume button simultaneously for two seconds. once the power off/emergency call screen appears, your password will be required to re-enable biometrics.

I saw it too:

Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

you can’t focus group this. you can’t means test it. just make it fucking stop.

Great work from the FT's John Burn-Murdoch www.ft.com/content/b474...

2 blocks away, got a face full within minutes. Burned our eyes, noses, throats, skin. Many were retching, kids, elders could not breathe. All remained calm and moved quickly, no panic, to get to fresh air blocks away. Helpers washed our eyes. I’ll be 65 in Feb. Never b4 attacked by my own countrymen

Insane amounts of gas used tonight. I don’t think the mask I wore had a proper seal so had to walk away. A few medics who helped me and other people were saying it was getting thru their full face masks as well.

"MPR News has learned that the police chief in the small southern Minnesota city of St. Peter intervened Thursday afternoon to prevent federal immigration agents from arresting a local resident" who had been observing federal agents. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

An SEIU member describes getting gassed #Portland #ICEout

I cannot tell if this is satire or not. LOL

the protests are feeling more spontaneous and organic and abundant which, to me, seems like a strong sign of sea change

Democracies are so strong that they allow people to criticize democracy. In fact, the ability to do so is an essential quality of democracy. Authoritarians are so weak they don't allow people to criticize authoritarians. Silencing dissent is an essential quality of authoritarian regimes.

For Liam.

NEW: School hallways are silent. Grandparents patrol outside in shifts. Two more kids taken from Liam Ramos' school. Trump isn't deescalating ICE at all at MN schools. “I stopped wearing my high heels to work. I wear my boots to work because I have had to run." www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-mi...

I am once again asking, where are the Harper's letter people now? I mean just utterly egregious violations of academic freedom www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/u...
