🚨BREAKING: Leaked footage from the ICE Baltimore Field Office shows roughly 50 detainees crammed into a holding cell with no beds or bathrooms, with detainees alleging beatings, lack of bathing, and hunger. This is deplorable. Make sure this gets seen and stopped.

Meta thinks now is a great time to launch facial recognition surveillance tech in their creepy glasses because EFF will be too distracted by fascism to notice. We noticed. www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

Kris Kobach used similar technologies found in the SAVE Act that left 30,000 Kansans kicked off the state's voter rolls. Chris Mann breaks it down here:

This is something the Nazis used to do to Jewish children in the camps. It happened to a man I knew when he was a child in Auschwitz. The camp guards thought it was funny as hell.

I do not fear the rise of superintelligence. I do, however, fear the rise of billionaires, organizations, and world powers who seek to use computing to maximize their power, influence, and control.

And so concludes another week w/ no news briefing at the Pentagon. The last on-camera briefing was held for an alternative right-wing press corps more than two months ago, on Dec. 2. The press space has been mostly vacant since the traditional press departed in October.

"To put a gigantic copper mine (or two) on the edge of the Boundary Waters would be like capping Old Faithful for a geothermal plant or clearcutting the forests at the foot of the Tetons — most Americans wouldn’t support it if they knew about it." www.earthisland.org/journal/inde...

The Third-Country Removal Tracker has been updated with new info on payments to "host" countries from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. gillianbrockell.ghost.io/tracking-all...

yep, they're still at it in LA and Portland too the media is gonna be like "time for a new narrative" and it's so important to keep talking about how none of the cities they invaded have become more safe since the spotlight shifted away from them

“Over time, collaboration among Israeli intelligence units, tech companies, and the U.S. homeland security state has only deepened… DHS increasingly emulated Israeli surveillance and targeting methods, and ICE has come to operate more like a military unit than an immigration enforcement body.”

$12T is something in the neighborhood of five years of Russia’s entire GDP.

This ICE officer tried to meet a 13 year old girl for sex. Many ICE agents are being arrested all over the country for a variety of crimes.

“Sources tell me that DHS has already used masked engagement to infiltrate pro-Palestinian groups in the U.S.”

Tom Homan lied. #ICE is still in #MPLS. Don't stop until ICE is abolished. Patrol, Observe, Support, and Stay Viigilant. Someone was abducted at 10 AM on 2/12 by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.

Army been going corporate since the 90's.

Reminder: Republicans don’t care about the debt as long as it’s exploding into their own pockets and the pockets of their donors. abcnews.com/Business/us-...

surely their push for violations of human rights on a mass scale in search of profit won’t be a liability for them lol

Since Trump created DOGE, we have had over 317,000 federal workers leave the government. DOGE has saved no money, but has cost taxpayers $135 billion. Investigating how DOGE harmed the government and taxpayers is a top priority for @repsuhas.bsky.social and Oversight Democrats.

So Trumps says ‘Russia wants to sign a peace deal’. Yeah sure guess Russian attack drones flying around Kyiv region are here to bring just that, ‘peace’ . What a farce . Seeing US president being Putin’s messenger is rich

Explosions in Kharkiv were reported. City under ballistic missiles attack

They’re corrupt lawbreakers, every last one.

Shifting a carrier strike group and F-35s from the Caribbean to the Middle East shows the US can surge forces, but raises the real risk of overstretch. Repeated retaskings are trading tomorrow’s readiness for today’s pressure campaigns. blinks.bloomberg.com/news/stories...

I spoke with SEIU’s David Huerta, who was arrested in an ICE raid last year and awaits trial. He says it’s time to go “on offense.” “Should we use a general strike as a tool? Absolutely. We should be prepared to use that tool because our democracy is worth it.” www.huffpost.com/entry/david-...

Chris Whitlock is a former CIA analyst and successful AI entrepreneur. His upcoming book, American Roulette - AI and the High Stakes Gamble for America's Future - provides a practical approach for organizations and individuals to think and prepare for whichever AI future unfolds.

So if you want to see an example of why I moved my family out of Utah, the GOP chair the country over from mine just got arrested for water boarding his daughter when she didn’t clean her room to his satisfaction and I’m not even a little surprised. boingboing.net/2026/02/12/r...

BOYCOTT Estée Lauder products. #cdnpoli Ronald Lauder, the son of Estée Lauder, uses the fortune he was born into to fund the very authoritarianism that destroyed Europe years ago. He is the architect of the Greenland scheme and the lithium deals in Ukraine.

Harrowing & Brutalizing. A young student exercised her First Amendment rights and has been detained over a year for it. While in detention, conditions are disgusting & inhumane. Kordia has never been charged w/ a crime but denied due process, lawyer & family visits. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/n...

“Not only did they murder hundreds of thousands of people. They also stole the money.” This is what the Trump Admin and the fucking entire GOP apparatus wanted, ran for office on, and are currently engaged in. The Americans who allowed this to happen are either scum or dumb as a rock…

They could build a wall around Vought’s home out of the bones of all the children killed from cutting USAID

I was a prosecutor. I negotiated pleas. I believed my ability to threaten economic harm was key to my power. Never stopping to ask why I had that power. Iowa courts ended these fees. Prosecutors want them back. For the 2.3% collection rate? No. Just to cudgel people. #EndJusticeFees @boltsmag.org👇🏽

Excited to find out that NCAR is getting turned into an AI data center. (This is a joke)

It is hard to watch NSF bow so easily to their destroyers. Vannevar Bush formed the NSF out of the US response to the fascists in WWII.

You and I are financing this shit…

sharing this as if it just happened (this story is from eight years ago) really hides the important reminder that DHS was broken way before the current administration.

Apt depiction of the current U.S. Supreme Court.

These muhfuckas were so nasty to her, man. "Bye house." 😢

This is the third time Ring has backed off of some Orwellian practice because of public outcry; in the two previous cases it went right back to the evil as soon as the uproar died down. There is no reason to suspect this will be any different.

An update: ACLU Southern California and the National Coalition Against Censorship issued a joint letter today saying the Los Angeles Public Library likely violated First Amendment rights by cancelling a Read Palestine Week event planned for last Dec. 6. ncac.org/news/cancele...

So, born without a heart? Or turned it black for a price? Would not want that Karma… geez
