Join us March 17 for Episode 17 of the Steady State Sentinel: Allies, Intelligence, and a Fraying American Center Lauren C. Anderson and Phil Gurski discuss the Five Eyes partnership, the FBI’s challenges, and why politicized intelligence endangers everyone.

Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this. open.substack.com/pub/jonathan...

This will create a generation of terrorists

Insanity. They are laughing at us.

The Surprise, AZ local government is hearing from their constituents...

ICE plans to lease offices throughout the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign. WIRED is publishing dozens of these locations. www.wired.com/story/ice-ex...

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself. It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did. ICE MUST GO‼️

Pepper spray and guns vs whistles and car horns: who needs to de-escalate?

If you saw this happening in another country, what would you call it? [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

This is very similar to what Newsom said, tho not as bluntly… bsky.app/profile/meid...

ICE and Border Patrol agents must be reined in. Here is one thing we can do right now. Please read and share. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/americas-gestapo

Terribly uncanny how relevant this is to today.

Meanwhile, every other progressive country of the world is developing new technologies to untie themselves from polluting and disappearing fossil fuels.

Project 2028: Restoration of the U.S. Constitution

What a photograph. “Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…” Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

They are right...don't be an Oath Breaker

Yay Portland! 40K+

Authoritarianism is a cancer. And it's growing, metastasizing. In America. Now. YOU are the cure. Do your part and join us on Saturday. Do it for your country. For the Constitution. For your freedoms. While you still can. @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social

Thanks, New Yorker

Update on Boomertifa from the war zone.

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

DHS/ICE pepper sprays the breathing hole of a peaceful protester in a blow up frog costume (Portland, OR)

I did it. I added some Keystone Cops music to this:

On my way to morning coffee in war ravaged Portland

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal “resources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.

War Ravaged Portland

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Kimmel’s back—proof that public pressure can make a difference. But folks in our region won’t be able to watch tonight because KOMO’s owner, Sinclair, refuses to air the show on its ABC stations. It’s corporate cowardice to censor programming just because the president doesn’t like it.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man. Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent. We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate. My latest piece.

I think it is always worth mentioning that Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were killed with their beloved dog Gilbert: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/27/u...

This was just last month and we have already memoryholed it. A cop killed by an antivaxxer.

Good people of Istanbul, help the cat at the Sabiha Gokcen Airport Escalator.

As hard as it is to believe, ICE arrested two firefighters, IN THE MIDDLE OF A FIRE, after stopping all of them from fighting the fires to line up and show id. Every time you think they've hit rock bottom, they dig a few feet more. Worst of the worst, indeed. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
