When Homeland Security Sec. Mullins was asked if he would follow court orders: “If we didn’t think courts were politicized, then I would probably be able to answer that. But we see courts over and over again that use their bench for their political opinion, not just the rule of law” ✏️ @latimes.com

If you want to get AI banned from University of Chicago, just have it write a piece on how output doesn't necessarily improve welfare. I've heard that will get you banned pretty quickly.

"You said sheriffs in Colorado are preparing to deputize people with special forces experience to go and fight this foreign army. I reached out to every single sheriff in Colorado and not one said you are telling the truth. A couple laughed you right out of the room. Do you stand by your claim?"

Scott Pelley is an alum of Texas Tech. As a budding journalism student there, I got to meet & interview him. Such a grounded man “She’s murdering ’60 Minutes... She does not love this place. She was brought in to kill it, and she’s been doing exactly that. She has no qualifications for her job.”

Rubio must not be on the group chat 🤔 CENTCOM's strike on Qeshm Island targeted Iranian military ground control station & struck unladen oil tanker sailing towards Iran In response, IRGC said "disrupting the security of the Strait of Hormuz will carry a heavy price for the aggressive US military"

Tennessee isn’t sitting down. People are flooding the statehouse because Republicans think they can redraw maps and erase Black and Brown voices. They thought wrong. We see the plan. We reject it. And we will not stop until every vote counts equally. #momsky#sheshed

Can't recall any reference to jails or prisons in the bible 🤔

Heros come in many forms

I'm old enough to remember January 9, 2026. You'll never guess what happened next. (Nothing. Nothing happened next.)

FDR nor Truman became a billionaire off of WW II 🪖 Miller recalled stories of American resilience during World War II when goods were rationed "I struggle like everybody else does, but I'm willing to sacrifice a little... That's been totally lost in this country, people's willingness to sacrifice"

Migrants at ICE concentration camps in California, Michigan, & Pennsylvania join hunger & labor strike started by 300 people in New Jersey’s Delaney Hall operated by GEO Group "Hunger strikes are a tool that people use when they are most desperate, where they feel that they have no other options"

CSI Aviation is conducting federal immigration deportation & detainee transport flights out of Albuquerque's Sunport Protesters point to local officials being complicit “We have @mayorkeller.bsky.social ’s police dept currently protecting the biggest deporter of immigrants in this country”

Dona Ana County's lease agreement required the hospital to provide care to uninsured patients, but... Memorial hospital’s indigent policy was falsified & altered “to delete the statement that the hospital was no longer providing cancer care to eligible indigent patients”

Greg Abbott has been Gov. for 11 years and spent more than most on law enforcement including $11,000,000,000 on Operation Lone Star in 2023 yet still hasn't figured out safer communities comes from sound policies like affordable housing, jobs programs, public transportation & access to healthcare

What part of being a school teacher or a seminarian does Steven Miller think takes away your masculinity? 🤔

ICE hides flight info because if they can get detainees to detention hubs in the south before lawyers and family can locate them, they face harsher courts. But jurisdiction doesn’t change until the flight lands. That’s where this tracking tool comes in. 1/ gillianbrockell.com/habeas-fligh...

Federal judge temporarily halts $1.8 billion compensation fund critics decry as a "slush fund" for Trump private terrorist group ✏️ @msnowreports.bsky.social

Netanyahu orders Israeli army to seize 70% of Gaza Strip ordering residents to vacate their homes & shelters in what he calls “voluntary migration” but is actually ethnic cleansing This violates the ceasefire deal, but which Palestine approved the deal brokered by the U.S.? 🤔 ✏️ @theguardian.com

Even the Pope is on to the ”limitless profit and cultural dominance,” not to mention the environmental destruction and eugenics that results. We have no further need for these tech bros or any billionaires.

Former federal judge John Jones on Slush fund: This lawsuit essentially—there was no report of a settlement. It was just a discontinuance of the suit, and then comes the settlement thereafter. In my experience—you don’t do that unless you’re trying to keep something from the presiding judge.

@houstonchronicle.com endorsement of @jamestalarico.bsky.social "An avowed lout versus a man who doesn’t just resemble a Sunday school teacher, but who practices politics like the seminarian he is."

Days of violence by ICE agents in New Jersey against protesters & elected officials like Sen. Andy @kim.senate.gov because our government doesn't want to provide people caged inside the immigration concentration camp nutritional food & adequate medical care Human decency is not too much to ask for

Santa Fe City Council approves 8.1% increase in city budget with police getting $5,700,000 more, increasing their budget by 13% While $3 million will go to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund... so we are going to spend more money arresting homeless people than trying to house them 😡
