Which (if any) independent journalists are doing in-depth coverage of energy and environmental stories related to "AI data centers", "surplus electrical capacity", changing permitting for new nuclear reactors, uranium enrichment projects, etc?

This is the kind of thing white supremacists have been doing to Emmett Till’s memorial for decades. It’s wild to see them do this to a white woman who the entire world saw extrajudicially murdered.

While the socials are burning with references to Leon Black, school photos, and Epstein connections it's a really good time to go read up on what the company Leon Black cofounded has actually done and their history of acquisitions.

Perhaps most telling is that by signing onto the WEXMAC TITUS program, vendors are contractually not allowed to refuse ICE jobs. “So if there was a US citizen—a baby, or someone sick that clearly shouldn’t be there—the contractor can’t say they don’t want to take them," a fed worker told me.

@barbylon.bsky.social ??

And if you’re wondering “Why is there a blob in the back?” Well, that’s where the first woman president was supposed to go. More than a century later, it remains unsculpted.

[S] Jesse Jackson came to my junior high during his 1984 campaign. No one was required to go, but everybody did. Not because most cared about politics, but because it was a scene, with national media! But in the half hour he spoke, that gymnasium packed with kids was transformed. I was transformed.

I do think there’s a certain type of Democrat that realizes it’s possible we are dealing with a perfect storm where almost any Democrat will win, and are terrified we might nominate radical candidates who will actually engage in needed change instead of status quo corporate centrist bullshit.

"Investors on CoreCivic and GEO Group’s quarterly earnings calls expressed frustration that ICE’s record immigration detention numbers aren’t high enough."

At a national level, the undermining of the resiliency capabilities and long-term strengths of the U.S. bear a strong parallel to the actual undermining of mediaeval castles. Everything happens slowly until it happens fast (i.e. the wall falls).

INBOX: Rep. Thomas Massie, who has enraged Trump for his insistence on blocking tariffs and releasing the Epstein files according to the law, just issued what is widely known among Chinese dissidents as "a declaration of no suicidal intent" (不自殺聲明), a sign of extreme distress.

Ohhhh pleeease manufacture consent for me pleeeease i want to like the Ai so much so i can replace my employees with it but i need a brand that squares with my liberal sensibilities first to tell me it's okay ohhhh pleeeeease

we're like a month away from Fox running a straight up "perfidious jew" chyron and folks? I don't love it

Xitter platforms Fuentes. If you're still on that platform . . . why?

Breaking on MSNOW right now: the DOJ is tracking the search histories of Congresspeople in the unredacted Epstein files, and Pam Bondi is using those search histories in her Burn Book today. This is surveillance of Democratic lawmakers as the review the Epstein files, and it is chilling.

you could simply leave the “Jewish” part out of this it is a choice and it is a bad one and I would really, truly prefer that people ostensibly on my side of the political spectrum not make it

When an industry simultaneously: * Says AI has multiplied their engineer's productivity * Lays off large percentages of their work force * Demands that employees work 72 hours/week They're asking you to believe that 2+2=10. It's bullshit.

This is the "Trump" economy on the ground. www.npr.org/2026/02/09/n...

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

Black farmers are getting shut out by the Trump administration. John Boyd, president of the National Black Farmers Association, says the WH told him, they are “moving away from DEI and small farm issues, and they were focusing on large-scale white farms… because they produce the most food.”

GM: Charisma check. Mamdani: [rolls natural 20] GM: that’s a d6 how did you Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

Is the staffer in the room with us now?

"The Arsenal of Freedom?" That's the exact title of a Star Trek episode about a world whose military industry literally destroyed the entire civilization. www.cnn.com/2026/02/06/p...

Is this good chat

Context: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday. It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.

Again, I bring up the Love Boat episode in which a politician practicing a speech vowed to wage war on poverty, but accidentally said "the poor," and it WAS A JOKE.

Visiting this museum was one of the best museum experiences I've had (and I've had a bunch). I hope they can continue, but in any case I recommend seeing it while you can. www.1856.com

This is a great example of what Marx called "the vampire thirst for the living blood of labour."

I'm sorry but this is the CATO INSTITUTE saying this? Imma need to sit down for a minute.

I'm trained to respond to chemical spills. I'd like the leftists to understand that, when they share fad, often harmful "remedies" for tear gas, they sound just like the rightists preaching that horse antiparasitics are some kind of miracle cure. Stop pushing "neutralization" over decontamination!

How can there be so many stories mentioning a protest at a church, with no mention of the church's preachings, the minister's connections, and prominent cabinet members connected with the CREC network and Doug Wilson.

Jeffrey Epstein, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and Marc Andreessen share an enduring fascination with eugenics, race science, and transhumanism and there is an entire generation of public intellectuals who benefited and continue to benefit from their patronage. Pinker, Huberman, Attia, Weinstein, etc.

Since we're doing memories that live in your head, here's mine. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPb8...

I think it’s worth keeping in mind that the specific church that was protested, inspiring these outrageous constitutional violations by DOJ, is part of the network of Christian Nationalist churches tied to Doug Wilson and attended by Pete Hegseth.

Hey so that’s a headline you don’t love to see

Trump: "I don't want to drive housing prices down. I want to drive housing prices up for people who own homes."

Homan says operations in Minneapolis will be "safer, more efficient, by the book" Which book, exactly, Mr. Homan?

I'm "sick and tired of winning".

@cnn.com‘s @paulareidcnn.bsky.social scoop. Trump ordered Bondi to reopen a 2020 case Barr closed because there was NO evidence to sustained Trump’s #BigLie — they’re using this bullshit as pretext to steal private voter information data in a Democratic stronghold so they can cheat in 2026 midterm.

This is fine.

Well, this adds a little perspective to "life" and human's place in it on earth. www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-...

"When instability is normalized, . . . it feels like the weather. But to outside observers, the design is obvious. A society that cannot absorb ordinary human misfortune is not merely unequal; it is brittle and weak. And brittle systems do not fail gradually. They fail suddenly."

Yep. Yep. This one hit me pretty fucking hard.

Just one day after tens of thousands of Minnesotans peacefully protested ICE’s operations, our AFGE union brother Alex Jeffrey Pretti was killed by federal agents. ICE must immediately leave Minnesota before anyone else is hurt or killed.

The Overton Window defenestration… Y’all, we lost the plot a long time ago. That doesn’t mean we can’t still fight: but if white people being murdered is your wake-up call, think about it. Not even that hard. Just sit with it and maybe ask yourself why.
