Russia’s full-scale invasion began 4 years ago. It began in winter, and so this winter is the 5th. And, for civilians, the worst. Russia launches missiles and drones at energy infrastructure to force Ukrainians to endure the freezing cold. Here's how you can help snyder.substack.com/p/the-long-u...

This is the future that (Texas) liberals want: taxpayer-funded goats clearing invasives from public parks & restoring the health of native prairie.

Godfrey Wade had been in the US for 50 years. Served for 8 of them. Had a pending appeal and a last minute plea from a congressmen and the regime deported him anyways: www.11alive.com/article/news...

Communities across the country are living in terror. Federal immigration enforcement agents patrol, surveil, detain, arrest, disappear, injure, and kill civilians. Public resistance to government intimidation is growing. Here’s what you can do: bit.ly/4ahnJ7R @lwvus.bsky.social @lwvva.bsky.social

Feel like the judge should have called this The Official Trump Court Order. Also, losing loser loses again.

1) My nominee for Nobel Peace Prize: The people of Minnesota. 2) My action-item for people of DC: Keep round-the-clock watch on the Kennedy Center, so Trump's goons don't do to it what they did to the East Wing.

Trump’s blatant racism is indefensible.

And that situation is terrifying but also, for a writer, paradoxically boring in one sense. The most important thing to say in the moment is obvious to the point of banality: The people ruling us are corrupt, lawless authoritarians who demonstrably lie constantly about everything.

FWIW this is more or less how white conservatives destroyed multiracial democracy after emancipation. That & paramilitary violence, but of course they would never... oh yeah they're doing that too.

“Every single woman had been in the facility about three weeks and had been living in the same articles of clothing for three weeks…Their clothes had not been washed. They had not been offered fresh underwear or fresh clothing. Some of them were literally still in their snow boots from Minnesota."

Happening now in Silicon Valley: marchers have surrounded the Palantir building and are holding a prayer vigil for victims of ICE, while video of ICE and Palantir crimes is projected on the building. #abolishice #iceout #palantir #paloalto

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside. What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there? I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

All over Europe, people who appear to have committed serious crimes with Epstein are being investigated, sacked & possibly prosecuted. In the US, where most of the true criminals reside: Nothing, because POTUS rightly thinks he is exposed. Rule of law in the US, anybody?

“Public outrage at the imprisonment of this small child is why we must deport his whole family” is *literally* what’s happening here. We need a stronger word than “monsters.”

I really hope Trump doesn't see that story about Olympic ski jumpers allegedly cheating with penis injections. The last thing we need is him doing a 3am rant on Truth Social about stolen erections.

"Things are not getting better. They are getting worse" U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar, D-El Paso, made another oversight visit at Camp East Montana last week. During her visit she met with women detained in Minnesota, detailing how many were still in their snow boots. My story for the El Paso Times

JUST IN: A federal judge has barred ICE and DHS from using taxpayer information provided by the IRS. Judge Talwani says that DHS' view that noncitizens lack 4th amendment rights — combined with ICE use of administrative warrants — is a recipe for abuse. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Spanberger orders state agencies to end agreements with ICE trib.al/7MNqnRK

The last U.S.-Russia nuclear weapons treaty expires this week. Without a new agreement, we're at risk of an arms race. This is serious. The Trump Administration must continue to pursue arms control deals to keep Americans safe.

People often disparage the press — and we often get it wrong — but almost everything you know about this administration is not because pundits go on tv or social media and pontificate but because of relentless reporting from real journalists at institutions that give them resources to do so.

concerning!

For Dallas area folks. Hutchins is where DHS plans to open a concentration camp for 9,500 people.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”
