Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

INGRAHAM: “How many of you are satisfied with the results of the Epstein investigation?” TP USA CROWD: “booooooo!!!”

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

News from Greeley, CO, that Horace Greeley would be proud to hear.

MAGA: “I ain’t watching the halftime show!!!! I’m watching the pro-family TPUSA one headlined by KID ROCK MAGAAA!!!!” Kid Rock song: “ladies, young ladies, I like 'em underage, see. Some say that's statutory (but I say that's mandatory)”

ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota. This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and he’s been getting death threats. They hate the helpers. Which is why must keep helping.

Sociologist C. Wright Mills saw this coming—and tried to warn us—60+ years ago. jacobin.com/2026/02/wrig...

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

Dr Oz on rural healthcare: "There's no question about it, whether you want it or not -- the best way to help some of these communities is gonna be AI-based avatars"

Some jawdropping CBP crime statistics here...

lol good luck with your Trump-friendly gerrymander this November, Texas GOP.

With his savvy release of the Epstein files, Trump is using his pedophilia to distract from his embrace of fascism.

An FBI report referencing a confidential human source in the final batch of Epstein-related files alleges that Trump was “compromised by Israel.”

The Trump admin already failed to get an arrest warrant on him—magistrate judge refused so DOJ went to appeals court, prompting that letter from the chief district judge torching the DOJ, and appeals court denied too—so God knows what this new one is, or if they even bothered to get a warrant.

I sometimes wish the Democratic Party in Congress consisted of any 260 people in the Minneapolis telephone directory rather than the 260 dignitaries now representing us.

When you’re white but not everything turns out right.

I’ve written a lot about democracy, but this may be the most important post I’ve shared here. It’s about the moment when political rhetoric stops being careless and becomes dangerous — when leaders start calling their own people “enemies.” That moment is now.

"I'm coming to Boston and I'm bringing hell with me." --Homan in February "Do I expect violence to escalate? Absolutely." -- Tom Homan in March "I actually thought about getting up and throwing that man a beating right there in the middle of the room" -- Homan in July, referring to a D congressman

Welcome to America circa 2026

getting feds to say shit like this on camera with their face exposed is NUTS -- you can not reform this agency, everyone involved must go, there is no practical way to root out all of these guys

‘A militia that kills’: uproar in Italy over ICE security role at Winter Olympics

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Exclusive: Border Patrol “Commander at Large” Gregory Bovino has been removed from his role and is expected to retire soon, sources tell @nickmiroff.bsky.social.

Here's the thing, Greg — free speech is still protected by the First Amendment under the Constitution. If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.

New in PN: The regime's mind-bending lies are a tactic "The VP told them they could kill anyone who annoyed them. Pretti annoyed them. So they killed him. Now the lies Bovino and Noem are telling about Pretti’s death are intended to encourage further extrajudicial executions and likely will do so."

He spent decades bringing the religious right to power. Now he's marching to undo it. Rev. Rob Schenck spent decades helping build the Religious Right—commingling church and state to advance conservative causes. Now, he says he must confront the damage he helped cause.

Minneapolis, MN - Very developing situation here. FPS agents ran into the hotel. Tear gas deployed. Hotel patrons forced to put their hands up. One agent’s nose bloodied.

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

They think they can provoke us into abandoning our values. They are wrong. We will keep the peace. We will secure justice for our neighbors. And we will see this occupation end.

Where the fuck is Chuck Schumer? Asking for Americans fed up with fascism.

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.

CW: EXTREME VIOLENCE I've synced up videos from both perspectives about as well as I can Audio from both is included They are both slowed down to ~.5x, zoomed in, and have their colors enhanced The captions are from the pink lady's video on the left

Had limited access to my phone all morning. Came back and reviewed multiple videos of the killing of Alex Pretti. It was an execution. He did not pose a threat. He was on the ground and his gun was taken from its holster by one officer. Then he was shot multiple times and killed by another.

they will push back with force each time our strength is apparent but we will win with each act they radicalize more of us and reinforce that they must be defeated & so they will be defeated & so we must keep pushing back fuck ice no kings love wins so say we all

“The United States government under Trump has made a deliberate, calculated, and shameful decision to embolden and enable Nazi-glorifying elements within his party; to elevate and amplify Nazi messaging” My latest for the Guardian, and I bring receipts:

Here’s a clearer video of the interaction between Raiklin and Fanone. Stay til the end when members applaud Fanone and ask that Raiklin be reined in.

I like hearing abt migrants “not respecting the laws of our nation” from ppl who knowingly voted for a felon.

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

The perils of ambidextrous handshaking? This is Trump’s left hand. If there’s something wrong with the President’s health, the public needs to know about it.

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis. Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

Trump just openly declared that invoking the Insurrection Act will let him implement his immigration crackdown without going "through the court system." That's nonsense, but it's telling: Trump *thinks* it allows him to rule like a military dictator. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2055...

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

“A rupture” American Brexit. An own goal of epic proportions, strengthening only those who want to see us fall.

🚨BREAKING: Federal judges in eastern Virginia have moved to strip Lindsey Halligan, the embattled loyalist lawyer President Donald Trump handpicked to prosecute his enemies last year, of her alleged U.S. attorney title more than a month after a court formally disqualified her from the role.
