Thirty years of concern. Never enough courage.

CNN: "Another photograph - these are notes AG Bondi brought to the hearing today. This shows a list of Rep. Jayapal's search history. Lawmakers are allowed to go to a DOJ facility to search unredacted files. We learned from this photo that the searches are apparently being tracked & read by the DOJ"

Just another Tuesday in the U.S. these days (via @politicalwire.com)

very impressive handwriting. err. penismanship?

Looks some of these youngsters put their wrestling team skills to practical use. It’s so nice to see how our school sports programs really pay off for our kids!

my dude gotta be profoundly rethinking his answer to the "would you rather fight one horse sized duck or 100 duck sized horses?" hypothetical rn

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.

If true, this would be one of the least surprising turns of events in the history of events turning.

My wife's wonderful mother, Angie, was in an assisted-living site in Florida, between ages 98 and 102. ( fallows.substack.com/p/angela-vol... ) The site had mainly wonderful staff. Many Haitian. Also Jamaican, Nigerian, Ukrainian, many places in Latin Am, Africa, SE Asia. She loved them (mostly).

Whoa. Dems just flipped a Texas state senate seat in a district that Trump carried by 17 points. Not only that, but the win was decisive, making this an enormous swing. Plus, Republicans went all in to try to save the seat, to no avail.

they couldn't scare us all away

peaceful march, kids in strollers, people in wheelchairs... and they launched enough gas to engulf multiple city blocks

the feds gassed kids and old people in portland today

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

Broken up with flashbags and tear gas

My piece on our break with our closest neighbor and ally:

Got more likes on my private account on X yesterday calling Elon Musk a pedophile and showing a Brock Pierce email than I have gotten in years. These Files are devastating for the these disgusting losers, I need everyone to not let this get drowned in the constant media churn of important news.

Hey, I need lefties to stop attacking allies and focus up. There’s 3 million Epstein Files you can help scan instead of arguing about Will Stancil, get to work.

“Once again, survivors are having their names and identifying information exposed, while the men who abused us remain hidden and protected. That is outrageous. We will not stop until the truth is fully revealed and every perpetrator is finally held accountable.” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/u...

Elon goes woke and adopts they/them as a personal pronoun

😝😝😝😝😝

The President, and All the President's Men.

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

I would like Democrats to win, not to perform self-flagellation to appease a tiny number of people online who will always lie about them anyway.

opposing the 19th amendment but wokely this is dumb/bad history; there was a sordid undercurrent of racism in large chunks of the suffrage movement (they had very public very acrimonious debates about it) but no, bull connor's dad was not pro suffrage to uphold jim crow lol

Downfall Bovino Edition. You're welcome.

If your response to this is some variation on "Just abolish ICE" then you are a child and you need to stop talking.

2) “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.” <-- People are seeing this and assuming it's some sort of set in stone slogan forever. No, dude, it's the slogan for this particular fight. You're not going to abolish ICE with this funding bill. Sorry, if you think that's on the menu you're just stupid.

Sen. Jacky Rosen is calling for the impeachment of Kristi Noem. "Kristi Noem and her department's latest attempt to mislead the American public regarding the brutal and unjustified killing of Alex Pretti is deeply shameful, and she must be impeached and removed from office immediately."

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

It's always been the same playbook by racist authoritarians.

"The gentleman I was standing next to was focused on helping people who were coming into Nicollet Avenue understand that they needed to take it slow and helping them get through. ... "Next thing I knew, they shot him." www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

just watching moots I mostly know from silly sports threads go "my soul is prepared" mode. normal weekend

The Star Tribune reports that federal agents "attempted to order local police from the scene" where a man was shot and killed by feds this morning, but Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara refused and "instructed his officers to preserve the scene."

To repeat: It is highly improbable that I would agree with Bill Kristol. I agree with him 100%. ICE has become the gestapo. They need to go. Just saw a Minneapolis protestor yelling at ICE, near shooting site, "We will not forgive you." Correct.

To repeat: Abolish ICE.

🧵 you need to see, dammit. The shitheads seem to have done it again.

Initial report is that two observers got into a shoving match with eight agents, one observer was wrestled to the ground, and then an ICE agent pulled out a sidearm and shot the man on the ground five times.
