The whole thread is worth reading. Gareth Gore is the author of "Opus: The Cult of Dark Money, Human Trafficking, and Right-Wing Conspiracy inside the Catholic Church". He's a financial journalist. The fact that the pope had a private audience with him says VOLUMES.

Um @npr.org you might want to follow up on this, looks like there's a woman here who might tell you something SUUUUPER important about Daniel Biss.

The problem is not the immigrants coming in and not assimilating. The problem is people like Ogles who refuse to assimilate into modern America.

Seriously, if you needed any sign that the Trump admin is a cult, this is it. Who on earth doesn't return shoes that are the wrong size for the right size? Marco Rubio and JD Vance, apparently. /a sibling lost a toe ultimately to poor fitting shoes that caused a blister...idiots.

This is our shame.

Made it to Friday but at what cost

After Warner Bros. deal, Paramount's debt has been downgraded to junk status Basically, the ratings agency thinks the combined entity faces a ton of competition & there's a risk the entire enterprise fails -- debt attached to it is therefore high-risk www.wsj.com/business/med...

chatbots are fucking stupid and don't do what they're sold to do but in the process of doing that dumb fucking stupid shit they're buying up theoretical hardware that hasn't even been fucking made and making it impossible for you to buy a laptop without remortaging your house.

For years we said they’re going for a genocide of trans people and for years we were told to “stop being so dramatic.” Now we’re at the point of human experimentation with the explicit goal of eradicating us. Can we call the genocide a fucking genocide now?

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

stop calling us nazis just because we are invalidating IDs and rounding people up based on their skin color and putting them in concentration camps and sending them off to foreign gulags and using all that nazi imagery and banning books and dont forget about all the pedophilia. so just stop alright

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license. This is pure cruelty. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...

The State of America is: the President and Secretary of Homeland Security are building concentration camps, Democrats are fighting back but also kinda saying they’ll pay for the camps if they have good security cameras and are LEED certified, and the normiest local communities are saying fuck no.

The FCC just opened public comments on SpaceX's plan to launch a million satellites to do AI compute in space. Under the current proposal, an environmental review won't be required. Please consider submitting a public comment to oppose this damaging plan. darksky.org/news/two-sat...

Absolutely wild. WSJ reporting that some OpenAI staffers thought the Tumbler Ridge shooter's use of ChatGPT raised the potential of real world violence but leadership decided not to alert RCMP. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

US judge upholds $243 million verdict against Tesla over fatal Autopilot crash In a decision made public on Friday, U.S. District Judge Beth Bloom in Miami said the evidence at trial "more than supports" the August 2025 verdict, and Tesla raised no new arguments to set the verdict aside.

I love opening up my mail first thing in the morning. @tangledwilderness.bsky.social

reposting, has good info about what to do with the warehouse concentration camps coming online.

@davidgerard.co.uk fyi

you know what's cheaper and safer than a ring camera? a fake camera. I've had one since my last porch theft three years ago and it even fooled the eye of a cop trying to get me to snitch on my neighbors. you can't subpoena a recording that doesnt exist.

NEW: Leqaa Kordia — who’s been in ICE detention for nearly a year, since ICE took her the same week as Mahmoud Khalil — has been hospitalized after having a seizure. Her whereabouts & health are now unknown. The Trump admin alleges she supports Hamas because…she sent money to help family in Gaza.

BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors

Today's the Superb Owl, and this is funny.

@davidgerard.co.uk it's US law, but you might find it interesting/useful.

🚨 New: We built a visual tracker of the warehouses ICE is targeting across the US. Working off an idea from @actualkatherine.bsky.social, we’ve mapped active searches, canceled deals, and linked state property records. Explore the map here: tinyurl.com/ICEWarehouse...

“Recall that Charles Exum, the agent who shot Martinez, bragged in text messages afterward, ‘I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book, boys.’”

I've reread this like 3 times. Freed herself from slavery by running away, *went back a week later bc the slaver was talking shit, set his house on fire, and then escaped again is absolutely incredible queen shit

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

A white man in Dillard, Oregon was arrested for stopping people on the freeway to demand at gunpoint that they tell him if they were citizens. He shot and missed one + attempted to get another in his truck to bring to police. Before his spree, he called local PD to complain about "foreign" people.

All this is making Teapot Dome and Watergate seem like quaint little peccadillos.

People are still being profiled. People are still being wrongfully detained. People still can’t go to work or school out of fear.   Do not look away and do not buy any political spin coming out of DHS.   ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA.

Kevin DeYoung writes for Desiring God that patriarchy "is about the subjugation of the male aggression and male irresponsibility that runs wild when women are forced to be in charge." That's interesting in light of the patriarchs defending ICE and dismissing Alex Pretti's murder.

Unfinished. #LiamRamos

A note from our editors:

Another kidnapping/possible murder averted in Minnesota on Thursday. Even if you don't want to read the article, look at that picture of three anonymous armed men pointing guns at the car of a woman who is observing ICE activity. "What good are Constitutional rights if you can't exercise them?"

MAJOR UPSET ALERT: Democrat Taylor Rehmet has just been projected the winner of the Texas SD9 special election — flipping a district that went Trump +17 and hasn’t elected a Democrat since 1991. Trump personally endorsed Leigh Wambsganss and spent days hyping this race… and still lost.

@markebner.bsky.social aren't you an alum?

Yes, this.

@edzitron.com listened to your interview on the Tech Report and you said empty data centers could be repurposed for laser tag. Or for Homeland Security facilities. Apparently HSI bought a 420K sqft building on the west side of Phoenix for $70MM in cash this month. Grim reality...

LAPD won’t enforce California’s mask ban on ICE/CBP/DHS www.instagram.com/reel/DUHDeCJ...

Rodney Taylor has been held by ICE for a year. He is a double amputee and he doesn't have his prosthetics. ICE needs to release this guy!

We are in a bad place, folks. A very bad place. The harassment by the regime's kidnapping squads continues,vwith threats to observers. This is what happens in politically authoritarian and/or unstable countries. It's not suuposed to happen here. But it is.
