Gorgeous sunset here in CA.

Documents reveal a web of financial ties between Trump officials and the industries they help regulate: ProPublica is releasing a trove of disclosure records that detail the finances of more than 1,500 Trump appointees who declined to identify former clients.

#ForestFriday Where the deer go easily, More difficult for me. Fallible legs of man, Should bend to earth, Grateful. Humble. Awed.

GREAT new resource from us: You can now flip through the financial disclosures of Trump officials. See what they own --and how much they're worth. See who's worked where-- and how much they banked. Want the folks connected to Palintir? Please enjoy. projects.propublica.org/trump-team-f...

#OurEarthPorn California coastal sunset. The birds were unimpressed.

morethanjustparks.substack.com/p/blm-announ... there's info on who to complain to to try to stop this at the end of the article, lets share this message and try our best to stop it.

Rubio Today: It’s false to say I said the U.S. had to attack because Israel was going to attack. That’s not what I said. Rubio Yesterday: We knew Israel was going to strike Iran, and that would trigger attacks on U.S. forces. If we didn’t act first, Americans would suffer higher casualties.

This is a big one. A newly uncovered document has revealed the existence of a mystery Epstein investigation. It was spearheaded by the DEA and involved drug trafficking and money laundering. Epstein was one of 15 targets. The other 14 names are redacted. I've got questions.

I honestly think this is the approach that will "get" to them. And I hope it lingers.

BREAKING Former ICE agent: On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant.

Amid all the MAGA lying about voter fraud, there are some genuine instances. The reason you don't hear about them is that they involve MAGA activists trying to steal elections. Elon Musk, for example, sent pre-completed absentee ballots to thousands of Georgians. That's illegal under Georgia law.

WATCH: “Johnny, you blatantly lied.” Rep. Johnny Garrett, running for Congress, RUNS 🏃🏻 from us + Tennessean reporter Vivian Jones to 🦆 Duck Q’s about his lie that undocumented immigrants commit 50% of crimes in TN (Per the AG it’s 2%, 90% of those non-violent/traffic. Also we’d love details.)

😕 ugly stuff here from the nashville banner… nashvillebanner.com/2026/02/19/i...

“.. Other reputable sources have produced similar findings, including Harvard Business School; Yale’s Budget Lab; the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, a German think tank; and the Congressional Budget Office.” @politico.com 🤡 www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

The President is lying to the public: 1) For the past century, the federal government has been responsible for the Potomac Interceptor – not Maryland. The sewage pipe is on federal land. youtu.be/OKyIKHW8ONI

The numbers of use of force investigations in this do not correlate w/what Todd Lyons described last week before the Senate (which was less than 50 for the entire year).

What’s one way we can rein in ICE? We can start by boycotting ICE’s corporate collaborators that are profiting from the agency’s cruelty. Watch.

I knew I saw this somewhere before. Funny that it’s almost exactly what’s actually happening now.

These are the extremists destroying our country and planet. The architects of Project 2025. #Climate www.nytimes.com/2026/02/10/c...

NEW: A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

Relevant all these centuries later:

We've had evidence since tRump's first term that he's a Putin asset. How much more evidence do we need?

Yesterday: Deputy AG Todd Blanche denies that Trump played any role in the FBI's seizure of Georgia voting records or had been briefed on the case. Today: The NY Times reports that Trump talked by phone to the FBI agents who conducted the raid, asking them questions and getting answers. (Gift link)

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

4 federal agents pull over an elderly US citizen for the suspected crime of being brown, break her car window, throw her to the ground, then drive off after they find her US Passport in her purse. The Salem Police, when called, say there’s nothing they can do. www.salemreporter.com/2026/01/31/u...

Because of course:

The DOJ just took down pages with detailed descriptions of Trump engaged in child rape and other pedophilia. We don't know if they have been corroborated, but we already know this DOJ will deny everything on behalf of their client.

When the president was calling all Somali immigrants "garbage" who "come from hell" and "contribute nothing" to America and therefore needed to go "back where they came from" did you ask him to "stop the rhetoric," Tom?

Finally got around to a bit of research I'd been meaning to explore, and: There is no documented instance of an ICE officer being identified and assaulted while off duty because he wasn't masked. www.pbump.net/o/ices-excus...

Does this mean Texas gets invaded now? Or is that only after intrepid reporter Nick Shirley gets a scoop? www.fox4news.com/news/48-texa...

Exactly right. Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign. Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE. Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them. Every possible angle.

There’s something in my eye…

Minnesota isn’t even a top-5 state for undocumented immigrants. Texas has about 2.1 million. Florida about 1.6 million. Minnesota around 130,000. You can gaslight the media all day, but numbers don’t lie. #Pinks #Momsky

You know Alex Pretti & Renee Good—the 2 white people ICE killed. ICE has also killed Keith Porter, a Black man, Parady La, a Cambodian man, & 5 Latinos—Heber Sanchaz Domínguez, Victor Manuel Diaz, Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz, Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres, and Geraldo Lunas Campos. 9 TOTAL. ABOLISH ICE.

This:

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Stop what you’re doing and read this whistleblower report. ICE has been training its agents that they don’t need a judicial warrant to break down your door - a blatant violation of the 4th Amendment. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Yes, I agree — it would be terrible. Please do NOT share this information!!!

Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-year-old U.S. citizen, was put in a chokehold by ICE agents. Agents took his phone, which he tracked to a used electronics vending machine near an ICE detention center. Yes: ICE is stealing and selling people’s things after brutalizing them. There are no words.

ICE agents fled from the crowd and left behind their CONOPS battle plan for Minneapolis, including agent's names, hotel rooms, phone numbers, boxes of license plates, and tac radio frequencies.

Amazing how quickly the pretext for invading a city just falls away. The circular justification in Minneapolis is now “we are punishing the city for resisting our punishment.
