Palantir needs to be obliterated the same as ICE, and Peter Thiel can face the Truth and Reconciliation committee he’s spent his entire life trying to negate. If we want to fix our country, this is non-negotiable.

The western U.S. faces its lowest snowpack on record despite average or above-average rainfall. Warmer temperatures mean more precipitation falls as rain rather than snow, and will worsen droughts in areas like the Pacific Northwest and the Colorado River Basin. science.nasa.gov/earth/earth-...

Just so we’re all clear, the Department of Homeland Security is developing pretty extreme accusations about people based on: - Hysteria-fueled nonsense spewed by Fox News which they picked up from - Far-right propagandists on Twitter whose whole thing is targeting leftists.

A community is devastated after ICE raids an LA church and arrests a congregant during a church event. “This was a violation of our Sacred Right to Worship and Serve our Lord Jesus Christ Freely and Safely.” ~ Church officials, in a press release

I've spent most of the day trying to piece this story together, one of the most gut-wrenching, heartbreaking stories I've had to write. My heart goes out to her family and kids. We'll deal with the anger over the removal of the bike lanes another time.

If you’re still on X, see what happens when you copy and paste this phrase into an X search: from:lindseyphorvath israel If the mob attack — and subsequent LAPD attack — on UCLA students protesting genocide troubles you at all, Lindsey Horvath is not your candidate. 🧵 on X: x.com/iaacm/status...

I seems like I should be re-upping this one regularly.

Tear gas is banned in international warfare, yet classified as a “riot control agent” that law enforcement can use for crowd control. “It just doesn’t work well, and it hits the weakest people the most, and causes the most complications in them,” an anesthesiology professor at Duke University said.

Some useful suggestions from @wired.com on how to record ICE safely, including using a burner phone and blurring the faces of people around ICE to protect their identities. www.wired.com/story/how-to...

apropos of nothing in particular, @lilashapiro.bsky.social gave us a tremendous piece of journalism last year, and it's always a great time to revisit it and thank her for the work she did in bringing these stories to light.

ICYMI, Gai*man is slinking out of the shadows and posting again, trying to scuttle his way back into the public's good graces. Please take care of yourselves, believe women, believe survivors, and fuck that guy.

CBP Black Hawk overhead the ICE OUT protest in the Bay today. we know from Chicagoland that they frequently fly without transmitting ADS-B Out, so they won't appear on flight trackers. you may also see a white-and-blue Airbus H125, their 'control' helicopter, which often does appear on trackers.

To reiterate: these are the specific photos that Lew did not want Biden, Blinken, or any news organization to see.

I know you all know this, but seeing halftime discourse funneled over here from other places is going to make me batty until I scream this: BAD BUNNY IS AMERICAN PUERTO RICANS ARE AMERICAN PUERTO RICA IS AMERICAN AMERICA DOES NOT HAVE A NATIONAL LANGUAGE SHUT UP SHUT UP STFU BAD BUNNY IS AMERICAN

NEW — Yet another “Operation: Midway Blitz” case has been thrown out of federal court. Oak Park attorney Scott Sakiyama received a petty citation in October for allegedly impeding Border Patrol agents. Magistrate Judge Heather McShain dismissed the case last month. thetriibe.com/2026/02/case...

Suburban-based rockabilly musician Hayden Thompson saw great success with European audiences, beginning with a rockabilly revival there in the late 1970s.

My office won a court order blocking the Trump administration from suspending the Sunrise Wind Project off of Long Island. We will continue our lawsuit to protect clean, reliable energy and good-paying union jobs.

Now that most of the country wants to abolish ICE, get ready for the goalposts to shift, so that abolish ICE becomes "reform ICE" as we get closer to the election. We have to continue pressure to make sure we really mean abolish, when we say it, otherwise we will be sold out.

every time I hear about someone being killed while riding their bike I get really depressed once again I will say that if I ever get killed while biking I want all of you to burn this city to the ground for not taking street safety seriously. we constantly give them solutions and they ignore us.

Heyo! I am at Plaza de César Chávez in #SanJoséCA for this morning's "ICE OUT OF THE BAY" protest on the first day of weeklong #SuperBowlLX celebration events happening across the #SFBayArea before the game on Sunday.

Thanks for sharing this. Here is an analysis of satellite images, which some also tried to suppress, from about 8 months ago

Look at the photos. The thing I heard often working on the USAID Gaza response from our partners in Gaza was the field of dead bodies - men, women, children - that fanned out around IDF checkpoints in the Netzarim corridor. Shot by IDF soldiers for no reason (unless "for fun" counts as a reason).

The photos from a UN fact finding mission to northern Gaza which were part of a diplomatic cable suppressed by the US Ambassador to Israel, Jack Lew, have been released by Drop Site News. These are the genocidal conditions in Gaza that Lew specifically tried to hide from the White House and public.

Border Patrol encounters with migrants crossing into the U.S. from Mexico have fallen to their lowest level in more than 50 years. The decline in encounters follows a series of policy changes on both sides of the border during both the Biden and Trump administrations.

Since a lot of the coverage is omitting this detail: The Kennedy Center HAD a $250 million renovation and expansion just a few years ago, in 2019.

Just curious, anyone know if there’s anything saying you can’t go through TSA in full juggalo/clown makeup?

People all over Portland, Oregon were impacted by the chemical warfare deployed by the feds tonight. Here’s a thread of some Portlanders experiences who weren’t even at the protest:

The LAPD doesn’t need to fly their helicopters so low. They shouldn’t fly them at all, but they point to their study from the 1960’s that says they should and every year the city gives them millions of dollars to fly them low at all hours of the day.
