For those of you who grew up after 9/11, we got along just fine without a Department of Homeland Security for 212 years. The DHS was formed to try to prevent future terror attacks — now, it is orchestrating them.

Hank Green is matching the next $5,000 in donations to our trans performance festival fundraiser - which is an Ocean’s Eleven Live Reading in LA and streaming with an all-trans cast including: @vicmmic.bsky.social & more! spend @hankgreen.bsky.social’s money! Donate here! Joywholived.com/heist

you know, it still seems like it should be an even bigger issue that the president has been sending armed forces to kidnap and assault people in an ethnic cleansing campaign, with a specific geographic focus on regions that didn't vote for him in the last election

“DHS is shutting down because it refuses to obey the law” is excellent framing

Anyone currently involved in federal immigration enforcement, every officer, every bureaucrat, every lawyer, every judge, is a member of the most evil group of people this country has seen since Reconstruction. Darkness personified, every one. Doing this to children is beyond depraved.

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women." Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration. It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women. Our latest.

This is a 100% elite manufactured craze.

there's a lot of reason to doubt him! 1. the Nazi tattoo! 2. keeping the Nazi tattoo! 3. lying about the Nazi tattoo! 4. only covering up the Nazi tattoo after backlash! 5. he's written racist and misogynist things on the Internet! 6. HE'S SEEKING MORE POWER & HAS EVERY INCENTIVE TO LIE

One thing about the line that Platner didn't know the meaning of his Nazi tattoo is that it presupposes he either has never in his life seen a movie set during WWII, or that he's the dumbest man alive

The potential foreign agent was Saudi foreign agent Jared Kushner. I mean, I was betting on Roger Stone but this is actually far more problematic.

They are still all over LA, including a visit to my TINY neighborhood in retaliation for middle and high school student protests. laist.com/news/politic...

Ending this operation is not enough. We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.

WE SAID THAT THE DOJ WAS LYING ABOUT THE PROTESTORS! THEY WERE LYING ABOUT THE PROTESTORS! www.startribune.com/after-assaul...

my colleagues worked so hard on this. And thank you, Congresswoman, and your staff, for championing this. 💖

easy slogan for the next democratic presidential candidate is “i will reform the corrupt supreme court and repeal citizens united”

Report from MN:

CNN: "Another photograph - these are notes AG Bondi brought to the hearing today. This shows a list of Rep. Jayapal's search history. Lawmakers are allowed to go to a DOJ facility to search unredacted files. We learned from this photo that the searches are apparently being tracked & read by the DOJ"

NEGUSE: AG Bondi, that man works for you now, right? The man in that video from J6 yelling 'kill them!' at cops. His name is Jared Wise. BONDI: He does work for us, yes. I believe he was pardoned NEGUSE: And you expect hard-working police officers to believe you take law enforcement seriously?

Media moved on because for one hour Trump pinky-swore he was going to do his genocide in a nicer way, and every day since the people in Minnesota are showing us it looks like a war zone

My sense of Minnesota today is that there’s less tear gas and the same amount of unlawful detention, destruction of families, loss of livelihood, people in hiding. There is less tear gas at places like Lake and Lyndale, so it’s not making news.

in fact you do not have to show your ID when you board a train in the united states, you only need to show your ticket (which can be purchased without an ID)

Again it’s important to remember the context of these chats is that a woman was shot five times in her car as she was attempting to donate clothes at a church.

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

the statute that Jeanine Pirro reportedly tried to indict congressional Dems under, 18 USC 2387, was originally passed as part of the 1947 Smith Act, a notorious law used to clamp down on free speech during the Red Scare

To explain: When you come in from out of state to represent someone, you have to get a local counsel to sponsor you in "Pro Hac Vice." That's what Abbe Lowell et al are doing for Don Lemon. The guy who is sponsoring them in is the lead prosecutor who quit bc Pam Bondi is so corrupt.

A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists. That's 2%! www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

we almost never saw pieces like this when the prevailing epstein accusations were based on totally made up claims from the right. now that the actual evidence in the files implicates trump and other right wing figures, we get 5 articles like this a day.

I’m listening to this while reviewing recent photographs from Gaza that a source provided me for a forthcoming piece and certain resonances between both circumstances have me about at my emotional limit

I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

NEW: ICE is leasing offices throughout the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign. WIRED is publishing dozens of these locations.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

That’s what’s up.

For pundits worrying about what we do with ICE, CBP etc thugs after we abolish their organizations, here’s a solution: mass prosecutions then sentence them to live in their own prisons. Same conditions as they’re offering innocent families right now. SOLVED.

No more money for ICE, ever, no matter what they say, no matter what they claim they’ll do. Use all the power we have left slow them down until they can be dismantled. Prosecutions for everyone involved. I don’t know how to make it happen but it’s the only right path. No “reforms”.

“… Blanche used the 2-day interview to test whether & if so how Ghislaine wld implicate various famous ppl, including Trump. After she declined to do that, even w/testimony that directly conflicted w/piles of records Blanche had in his possession, he rewarded her w/a puppy & a transfer to Club Fed.”

In the last month ICE has bought warehouses in: - Hagerstown, MD: $102 million - Surprise, AZ: $70 million - Hamburg, PA: $87 million - Tremont, PA: $120 million - San Antonio, TX: $82 million - El Paso, TX: $123 million - Social Circle, GA: price unknown This is unprecedented.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps. If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Did somebody say they wanted an trans Oceans Eleven live read starring Vico Ortiz and ER Fightmaster? Did I hear that? secure.givelively.org/event/trans-...

An underrated good the next Democratic administration could do with virtually zero actual political blowback from voters would be to come in with anti-trust laws like a wrecking ball and break up media and tech companies. It would fuck up The Other Side, too.

kind of funny there are prob 1,000 major US musicians and every time conservatives need to put up a music artist to counter a mainstream narrative, they put up kid rock. "ok here's kid rock again" for the next 30 years, an octogenarian man in jean shorts rapping something from the 1990s

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries. One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home. Abolish the billionaire class:

The radical and unrealistic position of "no concentration camps" The reasonable moderate position of "some concentration camps in certain circumstances"

If there's ever been a time to NOT be incrementalist, this is it. The most political capital you're gonna have is right now. And we got Gestapo death squads in MSP and TB spreading through concentration camps in Texas. If you can't find a win there, get out of politics. The Epstein Class, baby

Watergate, but if someone was killed.
