If the Democrats return to the majority in either the House or Senate or both, and fail to take sustained and significant action against those who have openly flaunted laws in this Administration, they don’t deserve to ever hold power again.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

I think it is fair to say that Pam Bondi crashed and burned today. She disgraced herself and her office (once again). While it may have provided light entertainment for her addled boss, it only revealed how unfit she is for her job. I hope she spends a lot of time reliving these moments. In jail.

Children ending up in the ICU. Children trying to end their lives. Children refusing to eat and drink because the food has worms and the water makes them sick. Children held for 8 months or longer. These are the kids ICE holds at Dilley. They’re pleading to be let out.

Massive theft. And with it, a power grab like none other we have seen in our history...one that has effectively smothered our democracy to death.

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

Objectively speaking Bad Bunny’s show is better than the game rn. #superbowl

tom brady grinning on stage while green day plays american idiot...i love da super bowl

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

I expected the cuts would be bad but I'm honestly stunned and sickened seeing how many great journalists the Washington Post just lost. People who nailed huge investigations, documented war zones, exposed horrific crimes, dropped all at once for failures they did not cause.

“The denial of verifiable reality is as dangerous as manufactured propaganda.” @thrasherxy.bsky.social on how, from Gaza to Minneapolis, we’re still being told not to believe what we see.

Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

A 2016 civil lawsuit found in the Epstein files alleges that Trump raped a 13-year-old girl at parties hosted by Jeffrey Epstein in NY. Epstein raped her too. For anyone wondering why the victim dropped the case… 1/2

Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich

Turns out musicians are braver than actors and filmmakers. #Grammys

Unlike what we saw at the Oscars, Bad Bunny showed courage.

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners. Decide. Who are you?

Chaya Raichik, who runs the social media account Libs of TikTok, has spent the days following Alex Pretti’s killing doxxing ordinary working people — teachers, nurses, school board members — for speaking out against federal immigration officials or expressing sympathy for Pretti.

"Plans for ‘mega centers’ and jails in nearly two dozen communities… Currently, there are more than 73,000 people in ICE custody, a record. The new sites could give the agency an additional 76,500 beds." If the existing beds remain, that would be space to detain 150,000 humans. bloom.bg/4qd7Mpn

President Trump has repeatedly made unfounded claims about Rep. Ilhan Omar, and his dangerous rhetoric could encourage people to act violently, just as this individual did tonight at Rep. Omar’s town hall.

“We have a nice little database, & now you’re considered domestic terrorists” says an ICE agent after photographing a civilian who was videotaping them. Posted today by Brian Allen on X. h/t @allenanalysis.bsky.social

🚨"We wonder why people in the 1930s were quiet, we need to show we weren't quiet. History is gonna look back at all the people that didn't show up—their grandkids are gonna ask what were they doing! It's like -10 degrees and we're here!" -Minneapolis ICE protester. LIVE NOW⬇️

My loose info so far is that the Minneapolis General Strike today had about 80 unions sign on, and it might be one of the biggest labor actions in decades depending on your definition

genuinely stunning image

CNN put together a clip of JD Vance claiming ICE agents have "absolute immunity" followed by him two weeks later claiming "I didn't say that officers who engage in wrongdoing would enjoy immunity"

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

A president cannot defend a nation if he is not held accountable to its laws.

Elderly Hmong man ICE kidnapped from his home is a US citizen. His name is Saly. ICE broke down the door, trashed the place, handcuffed him, put a gun to his daughter-in-law's head and grabbed him Georgia Fort got more info from family www.instagram.com/p/DTrblZ2jmT...

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

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...

"Officers threw flash bangs and tear gas in my car. I got six kids in the car" "His wife, Destiny Jackson, told FOX 9 their 6-month-old infant stopped breathing and lost consciousness. She then performed CPR on her baby."

Read This for gems like this.

The catalog of ICE abuses in Noah Smith’s article is staggering.

not a great sign that the majority of speeches are solemn and politically tinged, yes, but so resistant to touching down on anything specific. glad we can all agree it’s a weird, hard time, but yeah, could use more what wanda sykes brought. a lot more.

Donald Trump and his father were busted by the DOJ for refusing to rent to Black people. They were guilty but they avoided responsibility by aggressively litigating. It was one of the formative experiences of his life.

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.

Will Bunch, Philadelphia Inquirer —"If the American Experiment dies, it will be because we didn’t stop the immorality of a white supremacy that calls Somali refugees “garbage” and a patriarchy that mutters “f---ing bitch” as it murders a woman in ice-cold blood." www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

What a whiny old BS con man. The man who has most mistreated other white people, people of color, men, women & children is continuing to destroy all of mankind. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/11/u...

THE COMING ELECTION MAYHEM - in the new Atlantic is the reportage I've been waiting for. The Trump/GOP *is* planning to subvert the 2026 midterm elections. They must be stopped. This election is likely our only chance to rescue Democracy, in the foreseeable future. Anyone got a gift link for this?

There’s a bitter irony in these headlines.

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers. Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing

The state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says they've been informed by the FBI that US DOJ has said FBI will solely lead the investigation into Renee Nicole Good's killing by a federal officer. State investigators no longer have access to "case materials, scene evidence/investigative interviews"

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

Today once again proved that everyday citizens protesting their government are braver than the titans who own the largest media corporations, run the biggest law firms and lead the most powerful technology companies.

They know exactly how little it takes to get people to disbelieve their own eyes. Scary, isn’t it.
