New from me: In yet another forum, users claiming to be current and former Homeland Security Investigations officers complained about being roped into deportation efforts and their working conditions, and debated how ICE is interacting with the public. @wired.com www.wired.com/story/hsi-fo...

ICE/CBP have gone unfunded for 3 days; how about 3 years? The best way to claw back the $170 billion immigration enforcement surge in the Big Beautiful Bill is to just claw it back. The 2nd-best way is to slowly drain it by never funding the underlying appropriation. @ryanlcooper.com makes the case:

Incredibly well-written with an edge-of-your-seat narrative pace, To Catch a Fascist taps into interviews with some 60 anti-fascist activists to sort fact from fiction about one of the most contentious issues of the day. open.substack.com/pub/hatecome...

The Trump administration plans to rescind $600 million in public health funds from four states led by Democrats because it finds the grants “inconsistent with agency priorities,” according to documents reviewed by the NYT Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/09/h...

JUSTIFIED “FUCK ICE” CHANTS #AEWDynamite

Moderna announced that they’re cutting back late-stage vaccine trials due to the uncertainty in the US market www.cidrap.umn.edu/misc-emergin...

Here’s a useful reminder of what our federal courts SHOULD be doing to uphold our constitutional traditions:

It is shameful-and expected-that the Supreme Court has chosen to side with those who seek to undermine our democracy and disenfranchise voters of color.

Thinking this is wrong isn’t radical. Thinking it isn’t is.

Scoop: They tried to bury this news on Black Friday, but, well... Trump crypto partner Alt5 Sigma told the SEC its auditor quit in Nov. We called the auditor. He resigned in August. That's the second SEC filing with an apparent conflict that Alt5 Sigma has made in recent weeks. 1/

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

“If you’re quiet now, you would’ve been quiet in 1940.”

Let’s see if the “personal liberties and free markets” editorial board of the Washington Post will actually take Trump to task over his comments excusing the murder of one its own columnists. Given that they’ve purged me and all their opinion writers who actually care about human rights.

Donald Trump could have just kept his mouth shut about Jamal Khashoggi. But to smear a dead journalist, while sitting with the person accused of orchestrating his murder is just vile. Every time this administration hits rock bottom, a trap door seems to open. Cretin behavior.

Watching this press conference between Trump and MBS. Trump’s answers on Khashoggi’s murder are absolutely vile.

New York millionaires: threatening to flee the city since 2009

Hey! Calling all Wonder Women! We all are sisters…pulling together with one spirit. 50 years ago today the first episode of the series Wonder Woman aired.

New: I sat down with @aljazeera.com to talk about my firing from the Washington Post, being the last Black staff columnist left at the Post. And how I believe the right is not just engaging in “cancel culture”, but “annihilation culture”. Full video here: youtu.be/89qMGkK3LBc?...

The Trump administration’s lawlessness cannot be ignored. Period.

And is there something about the current political moment that caused “KPop Demon Hunters” to, well, pop off the way it did? EJAE thinks so. www.wired.com/story/how-k-...

This is an especially worrying statement when facial recognition can be inaccurate, biased, and generally make mistakes. Basing whether someone should be in the US or not, and ignoring physical media like a birth certificate, is ripe for disaster bsky.app/profile/jose...

Republicans are taking away your healthcare for an ugly gold ballroom and bailing out Argentina.

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down. All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown. So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!

Pretty banner month for the United States. The Trump administration tried to force a show off the air, is forcing criminal investigations into the people who sued the president, and now has directed the military to shoot US citizens “if necessary.”

“They studied 51 populist presidents and prime ministers who were in power between 1900 and 2020 and found that after 15 years, GDP per capita was 10% lower when compared with a plausible nonpopulist counterfactual.”

Incredible new paper from @centeronbudget.bsky.social looking into some specific Trump impoundments - where he illegally refuses to carry out our spending laws.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Trump working hard to give us a bankrupt economy

So the @washingtonpost.com is signing off in agreeing with Kirk that Black women do not have "the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously." Please clarify your stance on this statement

So Trump approved a botched military mission during which SEALs killed a number of North Korean civilians, and then likely illegally the Trump administration never briefed Congress about it
