BREAKING: This dog is named Susan From Accounting

Christ, this (from Lizza's latest) is pretty fucking damning of...literally the entire media(?) What the fuck?

Wow The night before Spanberger’s inauguration She’s cleared house at UVA Top Youngkin appointees resign Spanberger should be able to easily replace them given Dem trifecta The former CIA officer asserting her control

🚨 No accident they just announced a DOJ probe into Walz and Frey—potential pretext for Insurrection Act. Trump literally said this, as I detailed in my story “We have an Insurrection Act for a reason...if governors or mayors were holding us up, sure, I’d do that” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

If you punch a bully in the mouth, he backs down. If you cower and try to pretend things are ok, he’ll keep taking your lunch money. Just in case anyone needs to hear this.

Everything's terrible, but you can buy Girls Scout cookies from Troop 6000, a group of girls in NYC's shelter system. It's totes for a good cause and you can also donate the cookies if you are watching your girlish figure. cc @joshuajfriedman.com

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

Block instantly.

If you put the words "LOCAL FOOL" in place of Elon Musk, the headlines make more sense. People who cover him should try it to see if it helps clear up their reporting. Local Fool Says He'll Build A Colony on Mars Local Fool Says AI Will Cure Cancer

Officer kills an unarmed protester. Officer gets a pass. DHS calls the victim a domestic terrorist. DOJ targets the victim and her widow. This is how the Government silences dissent.

JUST IN: 9th Circuit refuses to revive Republican National Committee lawsuit against Google over sending GOP emails to spam folder. RNC can't sue because Google wasn't providing service to RNC. Judges McKeown (Clinton), Friedland (Obama), Sung (Biden). Doc: cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/me...

"We’re actually seeing new super PACs being established. One of them has already committed to spending $100 million in the midterms. And we’re seeing politicians and candidates speaking very frankly about wanting to install pro-crypto candidates" more here: www.theatlantic.com/podcasts/202...

Abolish ICE. A little journal comic from South Minneapolis. #iceoutmpls #iceoutcomics #iceoutofmpls

Oh yeah, Massachusetts is prepping. Apparently this bakery had anti-ice cookies and received death threats. They won't be open their usual hours tomorrow. Not out of fear, out of baked goods. They completely sold out and need to spend tomorrow restocking. fallriverreporter.com/massachusett...

terrific conversation with @whstancil.bsky.social about what's going on in his home minneapolis right now. at the end he puts it very bluntly: ICE is not an immigration agency that just needs some technocratic reforms. ICE is a terror agency operating under the fig leaf of immigration.

Everyone is calling the Nobel Peace Prize President Trump's participation trophy but the thing is he didn't even participate in peace.

It’s been reported locally, but I’m not sure how much national notice this has gotten. As part of this invasion by shithead goons, they are putting ICE agents in jetbridges and other parts of the airport at Minneapolis-Saint Paul. If you are flying Delta via MSP, you are putting yourself at risk.

We should just substiture "Rewarding Putin by destroying NATO" because that's the only consequence of this Greenland BS that we'll see in Trump's lifetime.

Holy shit. Renee Good was alive when the bystander physician asked to check her pulse. She was alive when ICE refused to let him help. She was alive when they told him “I don’t care.” www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

ICE keeps saying the people protesting it are being paid without any evidence, but we have receipts showing that the people *defending* ICE are absolutely being paid. And yet we only hear lies about the former on cable news.

SCOOP from Douglas Macmillan Medical examiner believes death of man in ICE custody was homicide, recording says www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

besides all the obvious things to say, my hot take is that this is also time to retire the Nobel Prize as this whole thing is too embarrassing for words

why are people laughing at this? this is NOT FUNNY!! please do not laugh

Not sure who needs to hear this, but the Insurrection Act isn’t the same as “martial law.” It authorizes the molitary to engage in civil law enforcement. And not clear that even then, whether they can enforce state criminal laws

A Garda spokesperson said "Things went sideways quickly".

From ever-brilliant @rubenbolling.bsky.social another great cartoon. See original here bsky.app/profile/rube... And reminder that a certain SCOTUS member will be immortalized for something other than "I like beer!" We should use his name in every account of these skin-color-based roundups.

In the meantime, read more about my new inquiry with BNY here. When it comes to Epstein, what did they know and when did they know it?

This piece is based on leaked ICE material, sworn testimony from an ICE official we obtained, and public procurement records. ELITE's full name is "Enhanced Leads Identification & Targeting for Enforcement". Specifically for finding communities and people to target www.404media.co/elite-the-pa...

New: meet ELITE, the Palantir app ICE is using to find neighborhoods to raid. Map interface; officers search for immigrants; click person to bring up individual dossier. This is clearest link between what Palantir is building and ICE's activities on the ground yet www.404media.co/elite-the-pa...

US higher education was a crown jewel, generating knowledge, wealth, prestige, and power unrivaled by anyone. And the US is throwing it away, because Americans elected a govt ideologically opposed to truth, science, merit, and racial/gender equality, preferring to weaken the country to reduce that.

The Trump admin, which says it was investigating fraud in Democratic-led states, quietly shelved a massive welfare fraud investigation in Mississippi involving public funds funneled to Brett Favre and others

The bilious green gas that DHS is shooting at protestors in Minnesota is the same toxic, carcinogenic gas that DHS denied shooting at protesters in Trump's first term. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexachl...

Epstein-Barr Virus #EBV was linked to #MultipleSclerosis - now a plausible cause has been found, misidentification by longterm memory T-cells that pick on the wrong protein, ANO2, instead of the EBV-antigen. Massive inflection towards the elimination of MS!!! 🧪🧠Cell www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

Screenshots of some of the documents found in looted ICE vehicles from one of the livestreams before it got turned "private" on YouTube (after the other one already was). Share widely and make sure the genie can't go back in the bottle.

I can't believe that this has been an option the entire time *sets up school for raccoons against racism*

Nope. Not this. Republicans ran on “repeal and replace Obamacare” (with some mythical “better” plan that never materialized) for FIFTEEN years. We can run on repealing and replacing ICE in ‘26/‘28…and actually DO it.

ICYMI — worthwhile analysis here. That above angle Trump used to claim Ross was hit was sped up to make the car look faster and hide that he was out of the way. He wasn’t hit, he dropped his phone. No wonder they won’t really investigate. Full: www.tiktok.com/t/ZThM17gQA/

Seeing Zohran instantly getting a bunch of shit done in like a week makes you realize that politicians could always do that on some level if they wanted it bad enough and very few of them actually do.

At the end of the day the performative vote on war powers resolution last week turned out to be what it was - just a performative vote. When it came down to it - Trump lapdogs like Hawley, Young buckled. But Schumer, Kaine et al gave some speeches. 🙄

A reminder of what a bad idea it was to allow antisocial TechBro billionaires to gain the amount of power they now have. jacobin.com/2025/01/trum...

The guy who taught his little brother to shoot up just cancelled 2 Billion in addiction and mental health services.

BREAKING — Mayor of Lewiston, Maine posts on FB that ICE is coming to the city imminently. This confirms my reporting the agency is planning a surge in the city and state generally. Lewiston is home to a large Somali-American population, which made up 4.6% of the population as of the 2020 census.

i still think democrats should run on corruption

🧵 The autoworker at the Dearborn Truck Plant is a proud member of a strong and fighting union—the UAW. He believes in freedom of speech, a principle we wholeheartedly embrace, and we stand with our membership in protecting their voice on the job.

There is a crisis of impunity. The Musk/Grok stuff is just one f many examples of people who are counting on there never being any consequences. And it all makes me just incandescently mad.

"Ice is not about law enforcement. What we are witnessing is a Gestapo-style operation focused on spectacle and fear, coercion, intimidation, violence and abuse. This cannot stand. This must stop." My video: open.substack.com/pub/america/...

🚨Border Patrol whistleblower outraged by ICE's conduct exposes over a dozen secret ICE programs in documents leaked to me: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/21-secret-...

Trump administration: Record-high homelessness is caused not by housing costs but by mental illness and addiction. Also Trump administration: We're decimating the programs that treat mental illness and addiction.

Bigotry against trans athletes was always going to be approved by SCOTUS and yesterday's arguments left no doubt. But what starts on the field never stays on the field. Republicans are testing the waters for new victims of their cruelty. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/soci...
