“In the one FBI interview that was released — of at least four interviews with her that exist the case files — the woman’s attorney cites ‘fear of retaliation’ when Trump’s name comes up.”

Cancer drug Revlimid is one of the bestselling pharmaceutical products of all time, with total sales of over $100 billion. It’s also extraordinarily expensive, costing nearly $1,000 for each pill, even though that pill costs just 25 cents to make. (Published May 2025)

What a surprise: The assholes who shot THEMSELVES three times in one week of March 2025, along with killing an American citizen, are getting less "judgment pistol shooting" training.

Someone asked me how to verify quotes/get full context if they're shown in a short video. Good question! Here's what I do: I try to use whatever context clues are available to figure out what event. In the case of that Newsom clip, it looked recent, so I checked to see if any legit news outlets...

Lord Peter Mandelson arrested in the UK following Epstein files revelations. Met Police statement: “Officers have arrested a 72-year-old man on suspicion of misconduct in public office”

Whatever the timing, this MASSIVE military deployment is playing out in the absence of justification being made to the public or Congress about why the US could be going to war with Iran. It’s a conflict that could easily escalate and extend far beyond the region, including prompting terror attacks.

I fucking knew it!

Quietly, the Trump administration is now ending even the life-saving aid that they had promised would be preserved Reporting from @hana-kiros.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/health/2026/...

We all knew this was the case, despite repeated claims to the contrary. The DNC owes it to Democratic voters to release this report so the data can be used to inform future races.

This is what I was talking about last year in my piece on the Everglades camp for MSNBC, when it was already clear the US government was talking to several countries. Not only is the US creating a domestic network of camps, "we’re watching the imposition of a global concentration camp network."

Her research laid the groundwork for the Global Positioning System, GPS, a technology that has made getting lost a thing of the past. wapo.st/4c3qzA5

“The Congress shall have power…to declare war.”

The myths that now surround the Vietnam War protests and the CRM will not die. Drives me crazy. Back then, the *overwhelming* public reaction was to blame the protesters for the violence inflicted upon them. What’s happening now is VERY different—which is a good and hopeful thing. Thread:

Floor plan for an ICE concentration camp. (Gift link for the @willbunch.bsky.social piece is in the thread.)

Every fascism has its dehumanized other. For technofascists, that other is humanity itself.

Great game, Canada! It was an honor/honour to play against such fantastic neighbors/ neighbours.

When you put it like this, a $75 million bribe to Melania and gutting the Washington Post seems like a small price to pay.

@jamellebouie.net with @andreapitzer.bsky.social: "Always, always, always concentration camps are an end run around the existing legal system. These people that are getting rounded up because whoever’s in power wants to do something that they can’t do using the letter of the law..." Gift article:

Part of the context here is that Bucks County recently elected an anti-ICE sheriff to replace their pro-ICE sheriff. The actions of Quakertown police (which is separate) are best understood as a gang that sees its power to intimidate slipping and so has initiated a violent suppression campaign.

Our top story, from @stevanzetti.bsky.social: Wearing black, owning zines, using the encrypted messaging app Signal. The broader constitutional rights of left-wing activists may hang in the balance as the government builds its "antifa conspiracy."

If I were any of the victims that survived or the families of the ones that didn't? I would take Sam Altman & company to the fucking cleaners. I'm talking suing the company for so much money that his great-grandchildren would be paying my family line in installments.

Pleaae share

Patriot Front members have tried to build their own intentional racist communities is through their gyms, as this mentioned. One, called Patria Gloria, posted last year about traveling around sleeping on the same mats they train on. Not super hygienic and seems like a great way to get MRSA.

They won't. Importers paid the tariffs then on-sold the goods to retailers, or incorporated them as parts in other goods, or used them in a thousand other ways it's not impossible to trace. Paying the importers back now can't refund the higher prices folks paid somewhere way down the supply chain.

Howard Lutnick’s sons are directing purchase of rights to tariff refunds at a discount.

“Oxygen Forensics' clients include the FBI, the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Customs and Border Protection, and the Department of State… Russian companies under the Oxygen brand hold a cryptography license from the Federal Security Service (FSB)” (ru.themoscowtimes.com/2026/02/20/s...)

Pritzker demands a $1,700 refund per family for the people of Illinois after Trump's tariffs were ruled unconstitutional. Dems, pay attention. This is your midterms message.

Cuba is confronting the U.S.’s first effective blockade since the Cuban Missile Crisis and running out of fuel fast, pushing the nation toward a humanitarian crisis and its government to the edge of collapse, according to a New York Times analysis. nyti.ms/4cG5Hz3

He said clergy and community observers have reported ICE agents now camping out in front of their churches and homes, something they hadn’t seen before. “Still real problems occurring here." www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-mi...

Oh this'll go over real well with voters

As you watch Trump accuse SCOTUS of being swayed by foreign interests, remember this was an issue that unified the Chamber of Commerce and the left. By foreign interests he means, his (hopefully former) donors.

Two issues I'm pondering. One is that you can't move this many people without inflicting tremendous physical and psychological harm on those deported and on society itself. The second is that left in place for years, mass detention on a whole new level will be normalized. It rarely vanishes. [1/3]

So now we wait for Trump to lash out. The odds of a US attack on Iran just went up. He’ll feel the need to do something to assert power.

Here's the language from Trump's appeal of the District Court ruling on tariffs that said they'd pay back the plaintiffs, at least (they made this promise to get a stay back in May). They caused themselves the headache they're about to face. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

meaning...."They didn't do as I told them"

Howard Lutnick, who lied about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, stands next to Trump as the president complains about the Supreme Court overturning his tariffs.

I keep hearing that the Epstein files are so big if we held everyone accountable everything would collapse. And no it wouldn’t. These rich guys don’t do any actual work. They aren’t actually important or useful they are just rich.

BIG: 6-3 decision written by Justice Roberts. Thomas, Alito, and Kavanaugh dissent.

Oy.

This is…a lot. In addition to her husband being investigated, the Labor Secretary herself is also being investigated for “having an inappropriate sexual relationship with a subordinate—a member of her security detail—and abusing her office by taking staff to strip clubs…”

Les Wexner's attorney during the House Oversight Committee deposition on Epstein: "I will fucking kill you if you answer another question with more than five words."

BREAKING NYT: The husband of Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer has been barred from the department's headquarters after at least two female staff members told officials that he had sexually assaulted them, according to people familiar with the decision and a police report obtained by The Times.

"One of Epstein’s greatest skills was building & exploiting connections w those who had the power to help or hinder him. In US Virgin Islands, that incl the federal Customs & Border Protection officers who inspected the people & goods that were going to and from his private hideaway" #EpsteinFiles

The president is the only major world leader pulling every lever of govt to shield pedophiles implicated in the biggest minor trafficking ring ever uncovered and it isn't even a story, forget major or ongoing. US political media needs to be burnt to the ground and rebuilt from ashes. Irredeemable

Kathy Ruemmler was White House Counsel to Obama.

Millions of files related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein suggest the existence of a "global criminal enterprise" that carried out acts meeting the legal threshold of crimes against humanity, according to a panel of independent experts appointed by the United Nations Human Rights Council.

The danger of AI being used to create biological weapons is one of the things the Anthropic AI safety researcher cited as a reason for his resignation.

The concentration camps will not only be for immigrants, documented or otherwise. They already aren't. They won't only be for brown and Black people. The targets will keep expanding. It will not end. The only way it will is if we stop it. Both in and out of the system. There is no other way.

I'm happy to have Talarico or Crockett; both eminently qualified and lightyears better than the current (and decades-old) situation. What I want to say now is that eyeballs don't equal votes; we saw this with Beto in '18. Even though he brought up a bunch of downballot wins, it's gonna be a fight.

So did we all just forget that we have a head of state illegally locked up in Brooklyn?
