This should ring alarm bells - letting DOJ remove voters from state rolls? @marcelias.bsky.social @democracydocket.com @citizensforethics.org

“Confidential” Agreements Show Trump Administration’s Plans for States’ Voter Data - The agreement explains that the DOJ plans to conduct its own analysis of states’ voter files and then instruct the states to remove specific voters, www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

SCOOP: The Department of Health and Human Services has been using the term “sex-rejecting procedures” to describe gender-affirming care for transgender and nonbinary individuals. The term is not clinical or medical. It comes from a Christian Right group. www.importantcontext.news/p/hhs-is-usi...

🚨BREAKING: A Trump-backed, GOP effort to repeal a Utah law that could give Democrats one extra U.S. House seat appears to be unraveling after county officials flagged thousands of potentially invalid and fraudulent petition signatures. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This is a bad move away from peace. The Israeli Cabinet voted to destroy the Oslo Process by extending Israeli law into the West Bank. Israel’s right-wing government is allowing the settlement project to destroy the dream of Israel alongside the dream of Palestine. apnews.com/article/west...

6/ “When I arrived every night I cried and now I don’t sleep well, I felt that being here was my fault and I only wanted to be on vacation like a normal family.” 9-year-old Maria Antonia Guerra Montoya, detained on her way to Disney World, spent 113+ days at Dilley.

This was my grandparents casita in Puerto Rico I spent every summer at growing up. Noticed it was even the same pink color as the bad Bunny casita. The back yard had tons of plantains, bananas, bread fruit, beans, peppers everything growing there.

A story broke last week that everyone should be following: a foreign government official (an Emerati royal) bought a major ownership stake in an incoming US president’s company just days before he took office. That's truly unprecedented.

Pardoned insurrectionists commit crimes at a higher rate than immigrants.

For an attorney to resort to extortion to clear his client isn't ideal. For an attorney to undertake that extortion expressly and in a public is incredibly stupid.

Emerging from his viewing of the UNRELEASED Epstein case files at Justice Dept, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) says: "The Dept of Justice has been in a cover-up mode for months... trying to sweep the entire thing under the rug"

CTA Defend Trans Kids: If you're a clinician, a parent, a trans adult, or just someone who cares, I wrote a guide on how to submit effective comments opposing the federal ban on gender-affirming care for minors. Deadline 2/17/26 🔗 www.patreon.com/posts/149210... 🔗

If you’re trans? The Trump Regime wants to redefine “gender affirming care” (which is healthcare) as “sex rejecting procedures” (which is not healthcare) — your real life, real world experience submitted as a comment is evidence that can be marshaled in the lawsuit that will challenge these rules

You know what they’re going to store in those warehouses? People

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps. If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

I wrote about exactly this share.inquirer.com/E8Sayo

I would be laughed out of the writers’ room if I pitched this. Measles exposure at a March for Life rally. www.npr.org/2026/02/08/n...

“Nobody understands a word this guy is saying. I’m gonna listen to Bawitdaba Da Bang Da Bang Diggy Diggy Diggy instead.”

This is a wild departure from past practices. All the talk of the “Worst of the Worst” is a lie. Usually between 50-75 percent of ICE deportees have criminal records. We’ve turned ICE from a crime-fighting org into a racial profiling and ethnic cleansing operation.

This is absolutely insane.

Yes.

Donald Trump always has a plan to get cash fast for himself, but never for you.

A necessary read.

something i would really like to know is what ICE/DHS is doing with all the phones they confiscate from the legal observers they detain

Free speech is about as American as it gets, or at least it used to be. Team USA is getting backlash for speaking out against ICE brutality and more. Donald Trump punches down, as usual.

NEW: Republican senators pitched a FIT when Jack Smith didn’t disclose toll record subpoenas were for Members of Congress (not required by law) but I’m sure they’ll be silent when they learn the trump admin illegally failed to include Natanson is a journalist on their warrant.

Yesterday we opened our fifth Purple House (community space) in the city of Nazareth! As our extremist government cracks down on Palestinian life and Jewish-Palestinian solidarity across the land, these spaces are crucial to keep building community. (1/2)

It bears repeating that Tom Homan is a fucking psycho and Greg Bovino's exile means functionally nothing when it comes to what's happening on the ground in Minnesota.

And according to one of the activists mentioned in this article, Ossoff and his office spent an exceptional amount of time bearing pressure on Israel to release a couple of anti-occupation activists from their illegal detention by the Israeli army.

UPDATE: DHS denied TB cases in the troubled El Paso East Montana tent camp Sunday — although a congresswoman said medical staff told her last month in front of ICE & city officials confirmed Saturday. DHS did not respond to questions seeking clarity www.texastribune.org/2026/02/07/i...

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

ALERT: "The intelligence in this case is as least as dangerous to our democracy as the Ukraine call was in 2019.” I will sit down with the Gabbard whistleblower’s attorney TODAY at 12 PM PT. This might be one of my most important interviews. Link: youtube.com/live/P3TvfMI...

Everyone should call their local election officials and ask them what they're doing to prepare. Our governors should deploy the Guard to protect polling places from voting machine and ballot seizures.

This powerful PSA from Epstein survivors will air during the Super Bowl. “Stand with us.” ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼 [World Without Exploitation]

How can any prosecutor worth his salt suggest in light of evidence like this Epstein did not run a sex-trafficking ring? Todd Blanche needs to step down. And Patel. open.substack.com/pub/jkbjourn...

Well, this is alarming, for a numbed of reasons."The agreement explains that the DOJ plans to conduct its own analysis of states’ voter files and then instruct the states to remove specific voters, which the federal government has never done before."

A confidential document reveals both the Trump administration’s plans to interfere with the states’ authority to run elections and how dangerously insecure the sensitive data will be in the department’s hands. bit.ly/46tX4nd

Lawmakers renewed their push to pass the SAVE Act, which would block millions of Americans from voting. It failed before — and it must fail again. Tell your senators to stop this attack on the freedom to vote: bit.ly/4tmVIor

The SAVE Act is part of the Trump administration’s agenda to sow distrust in elections, undermine election administration, and discourage Americans from making their voices heard. bit.ly/4rA2p4R

Congress should once again reject the SAVE Act. Tell your senators to stop this attack on the freedom to vote: bit.ly/4tmVIor
