Me with a scoop/exclusive Five days after Jeffrey Epstein’s arrest, federal authorities “directed” NY law enforcement authorities to “stand down” their investigations related to Epstein, new documents released by the Department of Justice show. Part of new Timeline on NY and Epstein.

lol CRAZY timing on this

This woman in Texas went to vote Friday & was told that she wasn’t registered to vote when she definitely was & had proof of it.She went back today & waited with several other people who had been told the same thing.They found her info,but are trying to keep you from voting!

I’m sorry please correct me if I’m insane and wrong… but is this newsom saying he “fell prey” to not being “culturally normal” because he was supportive of same sex marriage?

these people treat being called racist like it is a slur, and treat slurs like they're mere differences of opinion

Former ICE agent: My first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a warrant. I watched ICE cut classes that teach our legal system, firearms training, use of force, lawful arrests, and the limits of officers' authority

The Republican Political Party has confirmed over and over again they will not comply with state, civil and federal laws. They are not living in America on the same terms as the rest of us.

since I am not done Alysa Liu-posting, here she is making heart hands at the trans flag because she rules

Maybe it’s just me, but convicted child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell actively blocking the release of tens of thousands of Epstein documents whilst bribe for hire Pam Bondi continues to hide millions of Epstein files looks like a massive cover up to protect the orange felon.

Breaking MS NOW: An ICE whistleblower is expected to testify at a congressional forum today that the agency is "lying to Congress and the American people" about its training of new recruits. Ryan Schwank was an ICE academy instructor for new recruits before he resigned earlier this month.

Was it inevitable that the GOP would devolve into a haven for Nazi sympathizers? @radiofreetom.bsky.social asks. He argues that the party he once belonged to went from fighting far right intrusion to embracing it: 📸: Paul Spella / The Atlantic. Source: Shutterstock.

One of the kind of fucked up parts of the ICE occupation here is that a lot of folks want to believe it’s over, and the media seems to tell us it’s over, but folks on the ground are still seeing tons of activity and vulnerable people are still (rightfully) terrified to go outside. We can’t stop yet.

Another jarring finding from the CNN poll: Among noncollege voters Trump is at 41-58

That they laughed along with Trump’s misogyny against the U.S. women’s hockey team makes me wish Canada had won. Fuck these Trump humping shitbags.

When a journalist needs and is able to get a temporary protective order from a judge against one of your professors after that professor attacked him in a hallway on campus, the culture at your school is completely f*cked up and it's decades past when you should have addressed & corrected that.

Host: Kash Patel is facing backlash this morning after celebrating with the US men's Olympic hockey team following their gold medal win. Patel is there with the team chugging and spraying a drink into the air. The FBI director flew to Milan on the FBI's private jet with taxpayer money.

Kash Patel is starting to feel the hangover from his Italian Olympic vacation.

Judges say Trump officials violated court orders on immigration 35 times since August, per NYT. Between this and tariff ruling, it's a reminder that the main pillars of MAGA nationalism (immig/tariffs) are the things most deeply entangled with his authoritarianism newrepublic.com/article/2068...

March 19, 2024 Moms for Liberty Co-Founder Sues to Keep Police Docs in Rape Probe Secret Authorities didn't charge Christian Ziegler with rape and video voyeurism, but the sex scandal underscored the hypocrisy of the Zieglers’ family values persona, anti-LGBTQ, while engaging in bisexual activity.

Moms For Liberty named RJ May the South Carolina Legislator of the Year for 2023 for his efforts to protect children from the evils of the LGBTQ community. He was just sentenced to 17.5 years in federal prison followed by 30 years of supervised probation for distributing child pornography.

We as a society really need to start assuming (publicly, constantly) that people who conflate being queer with being a danger to children are themselves pedophiles. The response to "We have to protect kids from trans ideology" should be "Okay groomer" It's cathartic, but also usually correct.

People don't want data centers polluting their cities. They don't want masked thugs terrorizing their neighbors. They don't want warehouses being turned into ICE prisons. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Stop trying to make like there's some kind of grand strategy or secret plan at work. It's not that. Truly. It's the simplest thing you can possibly imagine. Don't think "four-dimensional chess" Think "toddler + cheerios" www.nytimes.com/2026/02/22/b...

“Judge Cannon’s decision to permanently block the release of this extraordinarily significant report is impossible to square with the First Amendment and the common law,” says senior counsel @scottbwilkens.bsky.social.

🚨New @ms.now: An ICE whistleblower, Ryan Schwank, is slated to testify at a congressional forum this afternoon that the agency is “lying to Congress & the American people” about its training of new recruits. Here's what to know 👇

triple yikes

Nothing says evil and immoral quite like seeing lunatic scumbag Kash Patel wasting tax dollars to fly to the Olympics to get drunk with the USA Male Hockey Team whilst Epstein survivors plead for action and Nancy Guthrie remains missing.

Assuming it's true that he was invited, and I don't know that it is, remember: partying with the men's team undermined the FBI's public standing, but that didn't cross his mind. Public standing matters, because why not do crimes when the cops themselves are criming? thehill.com/homenews/adm...

This is Patel’s fallback position after he sent a spokesman out to lie about his whereabouts. The FBI can’t even begin to recover until this incompetent podcaster is no longer in charge.

BREAKING: A push to name one of Chicago’s snowplows “Abolish ICE,” clearly linking the humorous pun to efforts to oppose President Donald Trump’s mass deportation effort, won the city’s annual snowplow naming contest, officials announced. @wttw.bsky.social

The FBI Director, everyone. You paid for it.

MS NOW's Ken Dilanian on Patel's USA hockey trip: "Nobody believes that Kash Patel would have been in that locker room had Donald Trump not made him the FBI director. It’s not like Kash Patel is famous on his own, so he clearly used his office to get this access and the taxpayers paid for the trip."

Multiple people worked and paid taxes over the course of their entire lives so Kash Patel could go to a hockey game.

After a great game we get a drunk, jock-sniffing fanboi in the locker room on our dime, then misogynistic belittling of the women’s team who accomplished the exact same thing by the president and men’s team. What a way to kill a vibe. Enjoy the pedophile’s speech, boys.

In the UK, Mandelson and Andrew were arrested over Epstein connections. In France, criminal investigations opened up. In the US, Trump, who is mentioned more than anyone else in the Files, says it's time to "move on."

Sad sack low-energy whiny loser can't understand why he just hit 26% approval with independents. bsky.app/profile/atru...

woke up furious about those sick matching corduroy jackets the St. Paul patrol dads all have now. they go too hard. their swag is too different. they'll kill you, St. Paul patrol dads

I want you to put the word out there that we back up.

BREAKING: The 21-year-old man shot dead after entering Mar-a-Lago with a shotgun and gas canister on Sunday was an “outspoken” Christian, a strong Trump supporter, and obsessed with the cover-up of the Epstein files, according to people who knew him. - The New Republic

One of the first things we were taught at Quantico was that there is never a moment in which you are not representing the Bureau; but, then again, we earned our place there, and weren’t granted its directorship as a sinecure for partisan malfeasance and a willingness to disregard the constitution.

Trump's hand is looking NASTY today (Win McNamee/Getty)

it doesn't get enough attention that there is clearly something seriously wrong with the president's health and the White House is covering it up

Kash Patel in 2023: “I’m just saying [FBI Director] Chris Wray doesn’t need a government-funded G5 jet to go to vacations. Maybe we ground that plane. $15,000 every time it takes off. Just a thought.” (Patel charged taxpayers approximately $75,000 so he could take a private jet to Milan)

“Cut ICE’s budget to restore federal health care funding” is an extremely popular message www.politico.com/f/?id=000001...
