I wrote about the new protest songbook that's emerging in response to Trump and ICE's brutality

exactly one year ago today www.cbsnews.com/news/right-w...

AI Slop but make it audio

Trump lies: "I don't know anything about the Epstein files. I've been fully exonerated."

is it just me or has the federal Epstein files search engine stopped working?

With the MAGA billionaire Ellisons about to gobble up Warner Bros. -- and likely do to CNN what they've already done to CBS -- independent media is more vital than ever. Help us grow by subscribing:

well this is dismal

Columbia student detained today is a day-in-the-life influencer with 100K followers. Her stories right now go from her studying for a Genetics exam in a nicely edited "ten hour study with me at Columbia" video, to a photo of her knees with the caption "dhs illegally arrested me please help"

A Platner spokesperson responds: “We were reposting a c-span clip of Trump speaking about the potential war with Iran and didn’t realize that the video had been posted by a despicable account. When we learned who the poster was we immediately deleted the post.”

Hey @grahamformaine.bsky.social I emailed your media office but would like to know why you're quote tweeting a virulent anti-semite like Stew Peters

Hold on, nobody panic, we got this

holeee shit. quote tweeting Stew Peters is almost worse than the fucking tattoo

it's ok I hear the administration has an antisemitism task force

Border Patrol released Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a 56 yo man, nearly blind with serious medical conditions, at "an old address & his family had since moved" in Buffalo, NY in the winter. "His family was not initially notified." He was found dead. @news4buffalo.bsky.social www.wivb.com/news/local-n...

A truly despicable & avoidable tragedy that you won't hear about in any State of the Union. www.investigativepost.org/2026/02/25/b...

As real world wins against authoritarianism (abroad & our own history) show, it nearly always requires sustained non-violent collective action - in other words, we need people to alter their behavior & that comes of them believing conditions are altered & won't right themselves via usual means.

"Susan Collins wants to make it harder for Maine married women to vote" should be a pretty easy attack ad.

I'm not here to preach but I will just remind you that Trump doesn't lie to be believed. He lies to be repeated. So you don't have to help him.

If Trump is serious about a war on fraud, he should start by looking in the mirror. Corruption is plundering America. The call is coming from inside the White House. -TN

NEW FROM ME: The deportation plane stuck in the blizzard took off this morning after 31 hours, but not before exposing a much bigger problem with exceedingly long delays on ICE flights. With exclusive interviews and photos taken by local ICE flight watchers. gillianbrockell.ghost.io/ice-deportat...

A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitter’s algorithmic feed significantly shifts people’s political views to the right. Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement. This is one of the most concerning papers I’ve read in awhile.

ACLU MN reported yesterday that the federal government filed sworn statements that there are 970 agents in Minnesota for Operation Metro Surge & that 407 agents will remain here in March. It’s important to note this is on top of the 190 agents that were already assigned before this surge started.

The Trump administration has scrapped plans to convert a warehouse in Merrimack, N.H., into an immigration detention facility, according to Governor Kelly Ayotte.

I've read many stories about the number of adult Catholic baptisms. For perspective, it may be helpful to keep in mind how many have shed religious identity. In the US, there are 8.4 former Catholics for every 1 new Catholic. Globally, there are 3.1 former Christians for every 1 new Christian.

Close encounters with the National Guard

Just landed in Trump's DC. Grabbed a Cava bag just in case.

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported. He finally died. I am so angry. www.kptv.com/2026/02/21/n...

The absolute refusal to connect American history to American current events is one of the weirdest expressions of modern racism.

We've had real wins — elections, redistricting, legislative seats & there is support on this court — a 6-3 majority is emerging But they're also using the shadow docket No argument, no transparency The court is holding--but the fight isn't over I explain w/ @arimelber.bsky.social -TN

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics. "It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Concerned about ICE's $45 billion plan to convert warehouses into immigration detention centers? This is what they'll look like inside. From ICE's plan for the Social Circle, GA facility. Each little dot: a person. www.socialcirclega.gov/home/showpub...

The Supreme Court just gave the county a stimulus package. Even bigger if refunds happen.

How it started :: How it's going

This is a truly horrifying memo. It says that the policy of the US government will now be to proactively seek out and arrest likely tens of thousands of refugees who entered legally under Biden and subject them to detention, where they will be interrogated about their status.

X is absolutely cooking the brains of the entire political class that remains on there. The ones who think they're immune are probably the most affected.

Don't look away. It is happening here

BREAKING — WE WON! DC Superior Court Judge Darlene Soltys ordered the DC Metropolitan Police to produce ALL body cam footage of the March 2025 DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace within 14 days. Thanks to my @rcfp.org lawyers for their tireless work. Details on thehandbasket.co later today!

U.S. Court Judge Michael Simon said today he would extend the order he first issued Feb. 3 for another 14 days.

SCOOP: I have the first interview with the 36-year-old South Jersey man whose tearful protest against an ICE raid at a school bus stop has been watched more than 3 million times How a non-political Eagles fan Everyman became the face of ICE resistance My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

The All Star Game was legit just to see this

douglas adams was our most accurate futurist

Stochastic fuckups! Just what everyone needs

Epstein: "I'm bringing the rothschild girl 18 to new york"

If my math is right, the current force is 10X the normal amount And what’s a “security force”? This is Minneapolis, not Baghdad

Why is a GOP gadfly so much better at this than 90% of Dems?

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

NYT: Trump secretly deported 9 migrants despite court orders to not remove them to their home nations. So, he sent them to prison in Cameroon: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/14/w...

Musk can't even follow the pollution rules that still remain on the books
