"Several Democrats on the Senate Armed Services Committee aren’t ruling out supporting more Pentagon funding. That includes the panel’s top Democrat, Sen. Jack Reed of Rhode Island, as well as Sens. Gary Peters of Michigan, Tim Kaine of Virginia and Elissa Slotkin of Michigan"

Dr Assal Rad— “This is Israel’s way of saying they will carpet bomb Iran and call everyone they kill “human shields.” “Gaza was a testing ground for what they get away with.”

How much is this costing you?

Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this. open.substack.com/pub/jonathan...

Wow. The U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem tells Americans they’re on their own.

I don't think trading electoral wins and losses with fascists is good enough. I want representation that agrees with me and tries to eliminate the threat of fascism for the foreseeable future.

That has never happened, ever.

Justice sure took a long while… apnews.com/article/henr...

We don't accept sorry we demand seppuku

A war with Iran is a really, really, really bad idea

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

While talking with Matthew Mercer on stream tonight will be MY Super Bowl, we’re pushing to 9PM CT so more folks can join! Can't wait to catch up with @matthewmercer.bsky.social :)

The liberal version of "America First" is when they selfishly argue that everyone should have voted for Kamala Harris, despite her material support for genocide, because the lives of people in the US need to be prioritized over stopping the war crimes we're committing around the world.

A brand new Super PAC — Elect Chicago Women — just dropped hundreds of thousands of dollars into this race. Why? Because it’s actually a front for AIPAC dark money. And they’re doing everything they can to buy my race:

I’m not sure we’ve properly addressed how profoundly disturbing it is that America can largely shrug at the stashing of human beings in giant warehouses.

The veil between this world and the next has been pierced. We apologize for the inconvenience.

When historians reflect on this regime, cruelty will be the word most often used to define it. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

ICE has been bad since it was created, but it's clearly worse than it's ever been. I talked to @radleybalko.bsky.social about how we got here for my newsletter

"The Fulton County raid is a test run for messing with election administrators and the counting of ballots in the midterm elections in 2026..." slate.com/news-and-pol...

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

How is it that so many people in the US have never asked themselves why dissidents, recreational drug users, and the poor are in jail, while the folks in charge of the government are rapists, pedophiles, and mass murderers? That should be your first clue that your country is beyond fucked up.

Finn - let me show you its features

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners. Decide. Who are you?

Already at least $1.4B richer since taking office, Trump is now suing the IRS for a jaw-dropping $10B over the leak of his tax returns. As he exploits the presidency for self-enrichment and retribution, millions are still struggling with the soaring cost of living. Priorities.

Leading American companies — including Palantir, Deloitte, and private prison giant GEO Group — raked in over $22B from ICE and CBP contracts last year. Do not forget who is profiting from cruelty and human suffering.

This one kills me variety.com/2026/tv/news...

70,000 dead at the very minimum. How is this not headline news everywhere? (And yes, this is a rhetorical question, as I know exactly how and why). www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2...

The democrats are complicit in the violence against our communities.

Well, at least we know. #fdt #iceout #oink #potusstephenmiller

Mass movements force change. ICE has committed human rights abuses and those responsible must be prosecuted. As people protest all across the country today, our office is a third space. We are open for mutual aid support, free posters, and bracelet-making for anyone who needs community.

Ilhan Omar: “Nobody should ever have hired Stephen Miller who basically is a copycat of the Nazis, that’s kind of the cruelty that he wants to inflict on people — he should definitely be out for his part in this, definitely should be prosecuted”

Abolish ICE is not enough. Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough. We need prosecutions and trials. Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

Yup.

I'd rather be talking about the mysteries of the universe than thinking about the stupidity of this world.

So true. “Had the world stood up to Netanyahu as he illegally annexed more and more of Palestine then we wouldn’t be talking about the U.S. colonising Canada and Greenland” Dr Daniel Goyle

I ran into Dani Bicknell while I was walking down Piedmont Avenue in Oakland. I was wondering if anybody was doing the walkout at 2pm. Dani had organized people to walkout. We know lots of young folks are fired up about Trump. It is great to see older (especially older white folks) stand up.

If elected officials aren’t going to do anything to stop fascism, what’s the point in having elected officials?

Patty O'Keefe, who was violently arrested while monitoring ICE activity, says one agent told her, "You guys got to stop obstructing us. That's why that lesbian bitch is dead," referring to Renee Good.

Trump is insane. Clearly he’s in love with Putin. Trump is acting just like Putin, too.

1. ICE has STOPPED PAYING for medical treatment for its 73,000 detainees ICE has not paid its bills to 3rd party providers since OCTOBER and the situation will likely persist for MONTHS, a Popular Information investigation reveals Meanwhile, critically ill ICE detainees are not receiving care 🧵

On January 20th, one year into Trump's second term, do I really need to remind you? zeteo.com/p/our-year-f...

Liberal counterparts to the Heritage Foundation exist, but they’re more diffuse and less hierarchical. Their resources are spread across many separate organizations, while Heritage operates with a much larger, more centralized budget and a unified agenda that no single liberal group matches.

Minnesota ICE agents tell a child that they will put a bullet in her head if she doesn't shut up. #cdnpoli

I was reading an article about European wildcats and it is interesting how little domestic tabbies have diverged in appearance from their wild counterparts

Still hard to believe that there are videos and witnesses to someone shooting a woman in the face three times. Yet the shooter has not been arrested even though the police know who and where he is.

Another day, another shitshow at the fuckup factory
