Private equity firms are making hundreds of millions of dollars by transporting people like transatlantic slaves And public pension funds are investing in them

In an interview with NPR, Melinda French Gates confirmed that she ended her marriage with Bill Gates because of allegations contained in the Epstein files.

Bye bye Tesla

Take me down to the Parallax city where the far moves slow and the near moves quickly

This photo made me understand class in America in a way that I was unable to process before seeing it. The rich enjoy class solidarity on a level that is unimaginable to most people.

My politics

This is fantastic.

As a side note, it’s funny to see so many of these emails with thirsty academics repeatedly enact Marx’s bit in the 1844 Manuscripts about the power of money. “Oh Mr Epstein, your house in New York is enormous and, unrelatedly, your questions at dinner were so intelligent, so insightful, so deep.”

The more than 40 millions recipients of the largest nutrition assistance program in the U.S. will be subject to stricter requirements come Feb. 1.

Next wave of journalist arrests incoming

New NHTSA crash data, combined with Tesla’s new disclosure of robotaxi mileage, reveals Tesla’s autonomous vehicles are crashing at a rate much higher than human drivers, and that’s with a safety monitor in every car. Tesla has reported 9 crashes involving its robotaxi fleet in Austin, TX. /1

Five years have passed since Myanmar’s military staged a coup against the government. Since February 1, 2021, the junta has decimated almost every facet of life in Myanmar. The junta’s impunity needs to end. Read more: https://bit.ly/4a41O4g

I just caught my boss introducing a zoom meeting by obviously reading chatgpt outloud

“Melania,” the new documentary about the first lady, has been pulled from theaters in South Africa after the film’s local distributor said on Wednesday that it would no longer release it.

ICE are alllll over Harlem right now, 116 & Frederick Douglass, checking IDs and targeting the area’s African community. Multiple people have been detained. Community members are advising folks to carry citizenship documents - or stay away if they are at risk

"Abolish ICE" was submitted 9,200 times for Chicago's snowplow naming contest, records show. blockclubchi.co/3ZAnDTZ

I reached out to Raygun to confirm if they were told directly that ICE was expected in Des Moines today. Response from their owner, Mike Draper:

CBS news announces new domestic terrorism correspondent Greg Bovino

Their predatory behavior on full display. A sheriff forces his way into a woman’s home and arrests her for asking for a warrant and refusing entry. ACAB

A lot of Dems are going to take Bovino and Noem being fired as the finish line, and it's very important to make it clear to them that it is a starting line

I interviewed over half a dozen ICE and Border Patrol agents who describe an agency that sounds like Reno 911! “I thought federal agents were supposed to be clean cut but some of them pass around a flask as we are watching a suspect,” one told me: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/ice-unloads

I was thinking that this Bovino thing is interesting because the dems had no part of it and can’t claim any victory over it. It was truly Trump backing down from the populace and I hope this gets internalized.

Measuring development by GDP is deeply flawed when 1% of the population holds 50% of the wealth.

At Target Driveup only White employees are now bringing groceries to my car. Last week Feds abducted nearby Target citizen employees. I’m sure non-White workers are afraid to show up everywhere. (My partner & I are helping a family afraid to come out of their home. This arrangement is common)

Fuck breaking the law. They can change laws. ARREST EVERY ICE OFFICER AND ABOLISH ICE

Rest in Peace Alex Jeffrey Pretti🙏🏾 The VA ICU Nurses send him off right 💔

Woke up to an e-mail, the first acceptance of 2026, for an anthology 😬😬😬 (Alongside a rejection, I'd sent out two stories for the book) #2026WritingJourney #WritingCommunity #AmWriting

oh commuters just found the motherlode of ice agents at a suburban hotel, including, potentially, bovino himself. a bunch of confirmed ICE and CBP cars from the bovino convoy there. spring hill suites in maple grove. people of the twin cities, do with this info what you will.

People at taken to Whipple are released into the cold in whatever they were wearing without their phones and IDs. Volunteers meet them at release (or find them left in parks and the woods) get them a burner, warm clothes, food, a ride home, etc (GFM in next post) www.instagram.com/reel/DTzJde9...

I got fooled by someone who is famous for being a conman until it was too late. Here’s why that’s actually smarter than seeing it coming:

Even r/catbongos has come out against ICE

I've covered ICE / DHS for about a decade now and more ICE agents are willing to talk now than ever before. The confidence the administration is trying to project is absolutely not reflected internally.

Even r/catbongos has come out against ICE

Capitalist swine Google search summary will tell you Stalker is only available to buy or rent or watch on HBO Max, but Mosfilm has it and other glorious Soviet treasures on their YouTube channel for free! youtu.be/Q3hBLv-HLEc?...

Nation's largest nurses union repeats calls for ICE abolition, pledges to do "everything in our power to vote out any elected official who supports funding for this all-out assault on the health, safety, and civil rights of our people."

Just on the Milburn thing, I'm always amused by the insistence that we're now overdiagnosing autism etc because back in my day none of that existed... "My Dad was perfectly happy and normal with his HO scale model railway based on an imagined version of a Sheffield Metro."

ICE is investigating - and issued a rare condemnation - after a Colorado nonprofit said agents left behind branded “death cards” in vehicles abandoned after their owners were arrested in the state’s high country: www.denverpost.com/2026/01/23/c...

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed. www.startribune.com/detained-by-...

Since Trump got bullied by Europe and can’t take Greenland expect him to go after low hanging fruit AKA domestic military deployment

“In 2021, the development occasioned a horrific program of forced displacement for members of the Huwaitat tribe. More than 21,000 workers were estimated to have died or disappeared under Saudi Vision 2030, the massive urbanization program that counts Neom as its crown jewel.”

🚨 ICE is creating a watchlist of anyone and everyone who films them, DHS sources tell me: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/ice-making...

The way dems talk about supporting the genocide in palestine like they had to compromise on where to get lunch. Is just so deeply horrifying
