Google gave ICE the sensitive personal data of a student journalist, including his bank account and credit card info, without even letting him know. The company is also helping bankroll Trump’s vanity ballroom project. Google is enabling fascism — all to protect its bottom line.

The sad part is that they have been groomed to follow an authoritarian leader, so he can do or say anything and they won’t care.

A thread of sheep photos

Here's a crash course on what the 5% state budget holdbacks advancing in the #idleg will mean for you and your families based on the dogged reporting our @idahocapitalsun.com staff busted out this week. What we found is that these cuts could affect nearly every Idahoan in some way. #idpol

Read this headline. Then read it again.

Here we have fucking Idaho. I mean, thoughts and prayers have worked *so well* for gun violence, let’s do it for climate change, too.

Rubio is a spineless dickhead

Africa is going solar. Trump is going all in on coal! Thats the direction we’re headed!

The "In Case You Missed It" list from the @idahocapitalsun.com is stunning. News in Idaho these days is essentially all the ways the Republicans' fiscal mismanagement is causing deep harm to our state. I'm saddened by risks to lives and livelihoods and the higher costs coming down the road.

A reminder of conspiracy theories that ran deep in the Trump admin leading upto January 6th. Ex Rep. Rigglemen ran the data analysis for the committee. It is frightening. We see the same playbook occurring right now for the elections. youtu.be/n9adLsXTpZQ?...

14 women knocked 600 doors yesterday in the Idaho Panhandle for the Reproductive Freedom & Privacy Act Initiative. We were in a gas station parking lot for our first meet up. People were VERY curious about what we were doing 😎 Here’s a list of people we met. #idpol

Possible call script: "Hello, I am calling to voice my concern about the Department of Homeland Security leasing office space at the St Luke's Meridian Portico complex. DHS has not been forthcoming with what this office space will be used for,

Raskin: What makes somebody a good lawyer? You have to identify with the people who are the victims of injustice — not with their perpetrators. So I would say to Pam Bondi: If you’re going to stand with the victimizers and not the victims, then you’re not a real lawyer.

Enraging that this took a court order: "Catholic nuns and clergy had visited the facility for years, offering prayer services and holy communion to detainees during visitor hours. Trump Administration immigration authorities rolled back that access in September..." www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/u...

“I am too scared to drive my 5-year-old daughter to school in my husband’s car. I’m terrified ICE will detain me and our daughter will end up alone,” she said. “This is just as scary as the war in Ukraine, except now we don’t have Dmytro with us..." www.thedailybeast.com/laughing-ice...

What is it about Minnesota that made it a target for Trump’s ICE crackdown?

NFL franchise owners in the EPSTEIN e-mails & assorted docs Partial list: *Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots *Steve Tisch, co-owner of the New York Giants *Stephen Ross, owner of the Miami Dolphins *Zygi Wilf, owner of the Minnesota Vikings *Arthur Blank, owner of the Atlanta Falcons

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

It's that kind of day.

hello minnesota and beyond! thank you for your kind messages. it is very weird to be the news when you cover the news. i love this beautiful state and journalism, and i am hopeful for better days. but we will be forever changed bc of the last two months.

More concentration camps; they aren't acquiring new prisons for immigrants, these concentration camps are for anyone who disagrees with Donny Babbles.

Wealth inequality has set the stage for our current political condition. The billionaires stay in power by dividing the groups who might otherwise unite and oust them from power. The race baiting, xenophobia, homophobia, and faux religious pandering is all part of the strategy. We shall overcome.

Palantir, Deloitte, and the private prison giant GEO Group took in more than $22 billion from ICE and CBP last year. Behind the spreadsheets and contracts, there's a quieter truth: someone is getting rich from cages, borders, and human pain. Profit has always been fluent in the language of cruelty.

“I don't see any plan, any strategy, any end game,” says Pat Parenteau, a professor of environmental law at the University of Vermont. “I don't see anything from this administration, just fuck everything up as much as you can. You can print that.” Sounds accurate to me.

Well well well

NOTUS reviewed dozens of habeas corpus lawsuits filed in Minnesota and interviewed several detainees, many of whose stories paint a very different picture of the deportation surge than the one described by the Trump administration. via @josepagliery.bsky.social www.notus.org/immigration/...

Here's the plan: he'll seize the election whatever it takes. He knows loss in Nov. will strip much of his power, & he'll do what it takes to survive. Check your registration. Take backpacks full of ID's if you have to. Help old or isolated people to get a good ID & register. Vote early. #ProudBlue

New camp in Romulus? Breaking laws before it even opens? I love Michigan and I love our communities. All of them. We cannot let this happen.

The ACLU (including my team) has filed multiple actions to block subpoenas sent by DHS to identify people speaking out against its abuses. Today's NYT story shows that those cases are the tip of the iceberg: DHS has sent HUNDREDS of subpoenas to tech companies. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/t...

Happy Valentine's Day! The National Capital Planning Commission has opened the public comment period on the East Wing Modernization Project, including the proposed construction of a 90,000-square-foot ballroom addition to the White House complex. Written comments are due March 4, 2026 at Noon ET.

At the Munich Security Conference, European leaders are not holding back in assessing that the post-World War II global order is kaput—and they blame Trump.

🤪

They are jailing kids. No due process. No concern for their welfare. Just snatching them and jailing them. I don’t expect people to remember this five years from now, but we should. We should remember when the government commits evil.

The Trump administration's social media repurposes language and cultural references with connections to neo-Nazi and white supremacist movements. It's content that experts say is instantly recognizable to those who are in the white supremacist know, but can be largely invisible to everyone else.

We also went over the work on security guarantees for Ukraine. The clarity and precise understanding of each point are crucial for our society’s trust in the security guarantees document. For all Ukrainians, it is vital that security guarantees are ratified by the U.S. Congress.

this is comically evil. brazenly anti-social. just absolute black-pilled nihilism. we will not have a republic, we will not be free, until we regulate these companies to the point where — at a bare minimum — they're too afraid to put stuff like this down on paper. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/t...

Because if you're a dictator and you're going to require a passport to vote, you also have to make it impossible to get one. The Pedoführer's SAVE Act is blatant, orchestrated, unconstitutional, voter suppression. apnews.com/article/pass...

He clumsily read his speech from the page without hardly looking up and told everyone in the room to follow the US's lead or suck it. He accused Europe of managed decline by not being racist enough, and if it doesn't fall in line then America won't be there for it. Not sure how reassuring that is.

I know his lies don't make the news anymore but we must keep trying to get the message out! He talks bollocks!

😬

Some warehouse owners have even backed out of sales after learning how the properties might be used. It feels like something bigger is unfolding, and it doesn’t sit right. Please pay attention. Why would this many warehouses be needed to hold people?

Holy Shit! 🌊🩸🦈 Rep. Massie staff receiving threats from the 🦧 & Kash goons? M@G@Ts, you still want to call MTG a liar? There’s worse than we know to be uncovered in those Epstein Files.

This is a genuinely huge, sweeping victory today for the University of California—or rather, for us, its faculty, acting through our faculty associations, while the UC itself maintained a strict policy of deer-in-headlights silence. The Trump admin has given up its appeal of a powerful injunction:

Offshore wind is a huge reason it survived.

Deranged chaos agent RFK Jr recently went on a propaganda podcast and admitted that he’s not scared of germs because he used snort cocaine off of toilet seats. We went from actual medical professionals leading US Health to this demented repugnant asshole wanting to kill us all.

Sure sure let’s order the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) to end all pandemic preparedness and biodefense work. WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?
