Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

Just a reminder that the Trump admin calls immigrants who’ve fallen into drug addiction “the worst of the worst” criminals, no matter how long ago their addiction problems.

“I don't see any plan, any strategy, any end game,” says Pat Parenteau, a professor of environmental law at the University of Vermont. “I don't see anything from this administration, just fuck everything up as much as you can. You can print that.”

This is really, really dark. www.wsj.com/world/middle...

Rand Paul to ICE officials on moments before Pretti's killing: "No one in America believes that shoving that woman's face in the snow was deescalation." Note that ICE officials then confirm it was improper for her to be thrown down.

CATO: “.. The whole idea that Trump tariffs would ‘protect US manufacturing jobs’ was all lies then, and it is all lies now.” @cato.org @scottlincicome.bsky.social www.cato.org/blog/trumps-...

This is the Republican party in a nutshell—they don’t give a damn about children who were raped by wealthy pedophiles. All they care about is helping their Epstein class donors (many of whom are in the Epstein Files themselves) get richer.

Am torn about this chart - it shows that despite the always defeatists talk, Europe and the EU in particular have stepped up for their security. However, it also shows that the level of support is still notably smaller, and in consequence Ukraine has suffered.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Another classic post-Homan day where around school dismissal time we get a flurry of ICE vehicles all across our neighborhoods. Today one vehicle led an observer to their own home and pointed at it. This is a sick game to them, but we won’t be intimidated and we won’t stop until DHS is abolished.

Europe is dealing with a Trump administration that is “openly anti-European”, “shows contempt” for the EU and “wishes its dismemberment”, French President Emmanuel Macron tells the FT www.ft.com/content/b5b2...

Homan has changed nothing

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

The Washington Post has laid off every reporter and editor covering the Middle East and Ukraine. Looks like Trump doesn’t want any reporting of those critical areas.

TRIGGER WARNING, because here is a US Marshal from Trump‘s Gestapo Force in Memphis kicking a puppy today in the Whitehaven neighborhood and breaking its rib. They were serving a warrant and I guess BIG MAN got scared of the schnauzer. (I didn’t take the video, the dog’s person did)

I think it should probably be a bigger story that the president of the United States is a raving lunatic

I am a Ukrainian Nobel Peace Prize Laureate. I have a question. Why has Trump's year of negotiations been the deadliest for civilians in Ukraine since the full-scale invasion? The number of deaths and injuries has increased by 31 percent compared to the previous year.

I think you know the answer. The “negotiations” have been an excuse to hold back necessary equipment and aid.

Two Human Rights Watch employees who make up the organization’s entire Israel and Palestine team are resigning after leadership blocked a report that deems Israel’s denial of Palestinian refugees the right of return a “crime against humanity”. Co-published with @jewishcurrents.bsky.social:

Leading American companies — including Palantir, Deloitte, and private prison giant GEO Group — raked in over $22B from ICE and CBP contracts last year. Do not forget who is profiting from cruelty and human suffering.

Some jawdropping CBP crime statistics here...

We’re close.

In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a “large deportation” promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is 2 or 3 days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis. snyder.substack.com/p/ethnic-cle...

How thoughtful of Howard Lutnick to bring a bunch of children to Epstein Island. They’ll have lots of other kids to play with.

This morning, federal agents staged at the Powderhorn Park Recreation Center lot and began to throw chemical irritants at observers. They also kidnapped an observer. Our parks are meant for our children, youth, and neighbors. They should never be militarized zones meant to separate families. 1/

There’s a reason he calls so many of his opponents “traitors” and “frauds.” He’s projecting.

Insane corruption

JOIN THE LEAGUE FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE LAW!

this guy has never received any training on how to walk with a firearm. this is dangerous.

There’s no justification for shooting someone ten times in the back. There’s no justification for shooting someone ten times in the back. The debate about what Alex Pretti did or didn’t do is irrelevant. The agents committed murder. It wasn’t a “bad shoot”. It was a killing

“Liam has been depressed and sad and wants to get back to his school and his family and his community.” Rep. @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social on 5-year-old Liam Ramos, grabbed by ICE after being used against his father

Utterly pathetic and historically unprecedented.

"’I'm not getting into the legality of everything,’ one agent responds tersely.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

They had Epstein dead to rights. Nearly 3 dozen victims. He shouldve been in jail for life. They gave him a sweetheart deal that allowed him to keep raping girls while hopping in and out for prison for 13 months.. www.thedailybeast.com/how-the-fbi-...

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

Yep, this is exactly where we are

This is a cover up of a murder, led by our own federal government.

Dems should run on this. Trump will not pivot on this one, he will double down. Dems should keep messaging that Trump is raising their utility bills, making climate change worse, and wasting a great investment. Bills too high? Blame Trump!

Getting the impression that ICE is gearing up for a pogrom in Springfield, Ohio, which was ground zero of Vance’s lies about Haitians during the campaign. Haitians lose temporary protected status on February 3rd. Reporters, lawyers, neighbors — please get ready.

An FT analysis shows that Palantir has received $81 mln in contracts from ICE since Trump began his second term, while Deloitte has been handed new work totalling more than $100 mln from ICE and Customs & Border Protection over the same period 🧟‍♂️ www.ft.com/content/c741...

Their leadership also refers to that restaurant as existing in a theater of war they’ve been deployed to
