"President Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth" I don't feel so good newrepublic.com/post/207270/...

With Judge Pittman’s decision this morning, there’s only one thing to call this trial.

A great interview with a dear friend, @annalekasmiller.bsky.social. Check out this great podcast interview with Anna, discussing journalism, social media, media literacy, misinformation, and its impacts on migration policy, namely the ICE and CBP occupation of Minneapolis. Such a brilliant episode!

As I scroll through triumphal pro-war tweets, thinking about this image a lot today:

#OtD 28 Feb 1972 the trial of legendary Black communist Angela Davis for murder, kidnapping & conspiracy began in San Jose, CA. Amidst a global campaign of support in June an all-white jury acquitted her of all charges. Davis tells her story in this book: shop.workingclasshistory.com/collections/...

After a short winter break, the Resistant Communiqués Podcast is back for its second season! We've got a great lineup of guests. Listen wherever you get your podcasts, and follow us here: resistantcommuniques.com

Recently some Americans showed a great deal of concern for civilians being needlessly murdered on the other side of the world, and every powerful institution worked together to punish, expel, silence, and deport those Americans. I think Americans don’t relish murder, but our leaders do.

You have to believe that Americans are all complete pieces of shit to not even mention the civilians being murdered needlessly in our name, right?

UPDATE: The Iranian government confirmed the attack on Iran has killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the country's authoritarian supreme leader for 37 years. www.jezebel.com/at-least-100...

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

BREAKING Former ICE agent: On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant.

“I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.” - 7 year old imprisoned by ICE for 70 days in a concentration camp in Texas. Today, after @propublica.org published this story, the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children. www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

“Lorth Sim, a Cambodian national, died in ICE custody on Monday, the seventh since the start of the year and nearly the 40th since Trump took office. ICE has not updated its website to reflect this latest detainee death as of the time of this writing.”

At the same Texas concentration camp: “There were children in Dilley who were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, several mothers told me. Recently, two cases of measles were discovered in the center.“ Extreme child abuse as state policy. www.propublica.org/article/life...

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

this is a "y'all got jokes" moment considering that there is no more security discipline left in the US national security establishment anymore. The director of national intelligence is a foreign cutout, strike plans are shared on insecure group chats, teenage cybercriminals ran loose in gov

this quoted post is uninformed nonsense. policy changes towards trans people have been profound at both the state and federal level. the EEOC won’t even process charges of trans discrimination right now for fucks sake.

It’s really disappointing to see people who spoke out against the genocide in Palestine when it became “safer”. But then turn around and practically campaign for (Christian or Jewish) Zionist candidates now that the midterms are coming. Where is your spine, genocide apologists?

“A political prisoner is held captive for their political determination, for their resistance against colonial powers and rebellion against inhumane, racist, and unjust systems. Xinachtli stood at the forefront of the Chicano movement in Houston, Texas, leading El Movimiento De La Raza…

I am huge fan of winter sports and currently enjoying the Winter Olympics. I’ve noticed competing Russians, are not allowed to compete under the Russia name and flag. Russia has also been banned from all UEFA & FIFA competitions, quite rightly so. I believe the ban should include the USA and Israel.

SCOOP: An FBI counterterrorism agent spent weeks pursuing a nonviolent climate activist, and showed up at his door. The visit suggests a possible probe into the climate group as the Trump admin increases surveillance of activists, calls them domestic "terrorists." theintercept.com/2026/02/12/f...

You can call fascists vile without using their tools. You don't need to make fun of bad people for being fat or ugly or for their gender or ableness of their bodies. It's just shitty, white guy behavior. None of us like Pam Bondi, but now none of us like you either.

Trump works hard to leave no trace whenever it reflects poorly on him. This data is so critical for many reasons. I frequently research presidential approval ratings after a particular event in U.S. history. It’s bad news all around, even in understanding history in the future.

We just had a strong geomagnetic substorm here in Iceland. My cat and I watched from the balcony. Sometimes the show is strong enough to see inside the city limits easily. #northernlights #aurora #iceland

Today, we launched “Cancer in Confinement,” a series exploring why cancer is often deadlier inside U.S. prisons than in the free world. This is the big project I mentioned yesterday. I hope you will read and share.

Really handy primer on getting involved in ICE resistance, with some quotes from @jamilahammami.bsky.social and a shoutout to the podcast we’re a part of, @resistantcommpod.bsky.social. www.truthdig.com/articles/a-g...

Thanks to @annalekasmiller.bsky.social at @truthdig.com for interviewing me for this great article on material actions against ICE. I hope it helps folks joining the fight against ICE & CBP. Check out Anna's great Toolbox article; it's a great primer! Be sure to peep the toolbox for actions to take!

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

The Tribune has obtained evidence from the case of a Chicago woman shot by Border Patrol that offers a rare, behind-the-scenes look at one of the highest-profile investigations of Operation Midway Blitz. UPDATED STORY here with video and texts between agents www.chicagotribune.com/2026/02/10/m...

The population calculation of how many people have been detained per capita is irrelevant. One is too many. The end. #AbolishICE #AbolishBorders

People need to realize that, along with citizens swept up in immigration raids, they have also detained citizens for being involved in activism.

Post a banger not in English: Selda Bağcan - İnce İnce Bir Kar Yağar

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...

If you were to run down a list of all the things distinctive about the United States in contrast to Old World Europe, most of it is stuff we instead have in common with Latin America. That's not some woke novelty, it's a deeply embedded centuries-old aspect of our culture and national identity.

To reject the US as a fundamentally American country with a deep shared history and commonality with the rest of the Americas, including that Spanish has long been our de facto national second language, is on a deep level anti-American. It's hating actual American culture and history and tradition.

There is a major political organization allied with the president that got so mad a Latino artist was tapped to play at the Super Bowl they made a whole alternative show. We should all take a moment to reflect on that. It is so blatantly racist.

The Sermon on the Mount, by Beryl Lewis, before 1965, 📸 by @ScottStrazzante

Robert Kraft’s team losing the Super Bowl in humiliating fashion is, to date, the worst consequence suffered by any of the men in the Epstein files.

@emanabdelhadi.bsky.social: “Surround yourself with people who spend more time building than tearing down.”

The jokes keep writing themselves with these people.

"As journalist Pablo Manríquez recently exposed, the Navy is reshuffling funds under an existing contract vehicle to designate $45 billion dollars for the construction of a new 'sprawling network' of detention facilities... which would each house as many as 10,000 people in soft-sided tents."

Every other Super Bowl ad is for AI because it's going really well and everyone wants to use AI. This is just like how two years ago all the ads were for NFTs and last year all the ads were for Crypto and you don't see as many ads for NFTs and Crypto anymore because everyone loves them now.

If you didn’t catch the significance of the exploding transformers in Bad Bunny’s halftime show, I gotcha. Here’s one of a bunch of pieces I wrote from/on Puerto Rico about the crisis—and Trump’s role in it. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Puerto Rico hasn't had reliable power in a decade. The grid sends occasional surges through the wires that fry appliances. Electricity rates are among the highest in the entire U.S. Heat waves are getting intense in the summer, and outages mean A/C is no guarantee for an aging population.

This years Super Bowl ads are all sponsored by the buy nothing movement

Bad Bunny broke Twitter with that amazing halftime show

They’re still Guard labor. It wasn’t a mistake. Refusing this man treatment for Opiod withdrawal, knowing damned well he could die, was just intentional, abject cruelty.
