Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

In case you didn’t know, @jdinri.bsky.social is a state and national treasure. She brings caring and connectedness to everything around her.

Kristi Noem: "When it gets to Election Day, we've been proactive to make sure we have the right people voting, electing the right leaders to lead this country."

Trumpists do not believe that people who disagree with them are entitled to a voice in government.

Happy birthday @monkchips.com

In terms of what cures are being lost: - Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis - herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis - shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

the rollout of the mRNA vaccines was one of the greatest public health triumphs in history and the end result has been the all-around triumph of the antivax movement and I will never get over it

A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists. That's 2%! www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

OK "god bless america" and then naming every country in the americas from south to north is absolute king shit

Finneas is better at political messaging than 99% of the Democratic consultants in DC.

The Factbook survived the Cold War and became a hit online. It mixed quirky cultural notes and trivia with maps, data, and photos taken by CIA officers. But it was discontinued this week. n.pr/3Mq3Y6i

FINNEAS defends sister Billie Eilish amid online backlash over her anti-ICE comments at GRAMMYs: “Seeing a lot of very powerful old white men outraged about what my 24 year old sister said during her acceptance speech. We can literally see your names in the Epstein files.”

A large CAVA bag stuffed with what it says is $50,000 for White House Border Czar Tom Homan. It’s been reported Homan took bribery money when he was recorded by the FBI accepting a bag full of $50,000 in cash. “ICE GTFO OF MN” Minneapolis February 4, 2026

This explains a lot.

The Nintendo Tetris pieces had names including Rhode Island Z

Like his Confederate forebears, Ted Cruz talked a big game, started a fight, got absolutely dog walked, then cried about how unfair it all was. A story in four images.

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Ok I’ve said this before but SENATOR WHITEHOUSE WHAT THE FUCK. You cannot say you are taking opposing the fascism coming out of the White House seriously and then do this. @whitehouse.senate.gov be so for real

@whitehouse.senate.gov - your vote to make Trump's MAGA nominee a judge with a lifetime appointment seems to undermine all your criticism of Trump's fascist attacks on our democracy. #RhodeIsland and the United States deserve an explanation.

New talk abstract dropping. I just hope I can write a talk to live up to it by *checks watch* *gulp* Monday.

If you want to say hi during my UK trip, I'll be visiting/speaking at the following places. Grab a slot on my schedule!

ICE now confirming that there is a measles outbreak at the Texas concentration camp where young Liam was held.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

Congratulations to everyone else who isn't in the Epstein files. A very low bar that -- it turns out -- a lot of people stumble on.

These fucking animals are drawing guns on people for the non-crime of following them while following all traffic laws

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept." Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

straight up Gestapo shit

every epstein file drop underscores how elite power operates through shared socio-economic networks, regardless of people's ideological differences, populist posturing, or public feuds

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Moriarty: "I was working with the BCA all day. What happened at the scene was that the federal agents stood about 2 feet apart w/ large batons & they physically prevented the BCA from entering the scene ... DHS prevented them from even entering the scene with a lawfully signed, by a judge, warrant."

Can’t believe I‘m saying this, but Bill Clinton put out a pretty powerful statement about the killings in Minneapolis.

This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk. Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared. Well, here’s a link: georgetown.box.com/v/Vladeck-IC...

Hear this @whitehouse.senate.gov @reed.senate.gov @amo.house.gov You either stand up against DHS, ICE, and MAGA or you’re gonna get primaried. I say this as an east side Jew whose father and grandparents were refugees from the Nazis.

ICE just shot another one of my neighbors. They had the person on the ground, being beaten by several agents, and then fired multiple shots. In front of the donut shop where we like to get donuts for our kids.

The analysis @edzitron.com does around AI economics is sound, scary, and wicked amusing www.wheresyoured.at/premium-time...

You cannot claim to be a Democrat and vote to finance fascism. Any notion this will shore up your law enforcement bonafides will come crashing down as Americans see that the criminals are ICE and you just upped their weapons stash.
