TRUTH!!!

Harvard professor Steven Levitsky, who studies democracy backsliding, on Don Lemon's arrest: “This is a new dimension. In democracies, journalists don't get arrested. In authoritarian regimes, journalists get arrested." More in @status.news: www.status.news/p/don-lemon-...

DOJ posture: offers as much bait as possible, while suppressing all the really lurid stuff about Trump and Melania. www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

“.. It was laughable, if there was something to laugh about,” said one of the nurses .. “There was no way this person ran headfirst into a wall.” @apnews.com apnews.com/article/immi...

And Peter Attia MD telling Epstein the biggest problem with being his friend is he can’t tell anyone about the life he lives. Nice.

We are now 43 days beyond the statutory deadline for the FULL release of the Epstein files Yesterday, the Justice Dept released approximately HALF of the potentially responsive pages Hundreds of thousands of those pages are redacted

@hcrichardson.bsky.social The warrant and affidavit showing probably cause of a crime to justify Fulton county raid of 700 boxes of ballots must be made public. Congress must act to demand it. The results were triple checked

DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN - whatever their banner is, it’s time for accountability!!!

UTAH auto body shop owner: “You guys broke the fucking window to get in here! Where is your warrant??” Trump’s ICE goons: “Yes we did… We don’t need one.” 🤔 Rights are gone under this regime. (From Somali Snaps: www.instagram.com/reel/DUKpzuS...)

Maria Santay, a U.S. citizen and community observer, live-streamed masked ICE agents detaining her after they boxed in her car from all sides and smashed her window. Local police showed up and did nothing. She was denied access to a restroom, and forced to pee in the parking lot while handcuffed.

Amen

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here. (clip via MPR and @davidjbier.bsky.social on X)

A balm for all this heartache

No duh

Not A Good Businessman, A Grifter! An updated study shows the impact of Trump's new social-media review requirement for visitors entering the United States will reduce tourism by 4.7 million people annually, costing the U.S. economy over $15 billion EACH YEAR. This is how you bankrupt casinos too.

This is the guy who moved Maxwell to camp Fed. He knows the sickness in these files, and he is protecting the perpetrators.

DHS should be embarrassed that their ICE agent hires are so soft they can’t handle being videotaped, even while masked, so they resort to pepper spraying women at close range. And we should be proud of the Santa Barbara women who stood their ground anyway.

I wonder if the New York Times will go after any of the prominent academics in the Epstein files for being rapists as hard as they went after Claudine Gay for being kind of sloppy with citations in her graduate thesis. If not, why not?

It's beginning to look a lot like fascism. Everywhere you go. Take a look at the 5 & 10, masked marauding men. With firearms & pepper sprays & scowls. It's beginning to look a lot like fascism. ICE in every store But the ugliest sight to see is the army that will be On your own front door.

Facts 💯

for over 3 weeks, I've spoken to ICE watchers and organizers across the country: first right after Renee Good's killing — then 2 weeks into my reporting, Alex Pretti was killed. ICE watchers are being detained and harassed — but they're also stopping ICE abductions and inspiring others to join them

Elon Musk publicly slandering that cave diver as a "pedo guy" after he begged Jeffrey Epstein for island party invites is just incredible

Even if you do usually vote Republican, most of us can agree at this point that the administration has gone way, way too far.

A US veteran leaves the country after ICE agents seize her husband at his green card hearing, and then causes him simply to "disappear." "This country is broken," she says.

Oil proceeds are going into a private account in Qatar that US Treasury cannot block. The entire arrangement is grotesquely illegal and corrupt. Rubio's answers are dissembling. And we can't seemingly even get intelligent questions for him. bsky.app/profile/atru...

“This silence will cost you..” 😳

“Disingenuous” is this sociopath’s middle name

DHS paramilitary practices in Minneapolis raise massive legal flags. If you care about civil liberties, now’s the time to demand real oversight——contact your reps, demand a congressional inquiry, and support watchdog orgs pressing for transparency. www.cnn.com/2026/01/27/u...

This is how “straight” reporting distorts the news. Trump says he wants an “honest” investigation. But the DOJ is not doing an independent investigation, and, instead, CBP will be investigating its own officers. Sounds like it could be a rigged inquiry. Trump’s “vow” is worthless PR.

Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., rolls out his demand for supporting a DHS appropriations bill: fire Stephen Miller

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Yup

An Axiom of fascist thought: the victim is always responsible for the harm that befalls them, usually because they don't love the Führer enough.

CBO estimates troop deployments to US cities in June-December 2025 cost half a billion dollars.

This is what letting RFK jr go wild on health looks like

“An administration official gave away the game to Punchbowl News, admitting that these “de-escalatory measures” are about placating Senate Democrats so they don’t seize this moment to demand restrictions on ICE as part of any government funding package.” newrepublic.com/article/2057...

It's easy to get inured to this. But it's genuinely shocking. These are just untrained, hyped up hooligans terrorizing people.

💯

Raskin: ICE and CBP — these are not law enforcement entities, and at this point they’re completely lawless. They’re outside of the Constitution.

Page after page of DHS agents too ashamed to be pictured doing their job isn’t actually sending the power signal Pam Bondi thinks it is.

The trials can’t happen soon enough

"I was only following orders" wasn't an acceptable excuse at the Nuremberg trials & won't work now. #AccountabilityIsComing

From the Vatican: The violence practiced by Trump's secret police in Minneapolis is not acceptable and must be called out for what it is. www.repubblica.it/cronaca/2026...

WATCH-- @chrislhayes.bsky.social reports live from Minneapolis: "It is my second day here on the ground, and it is clear a moral scandal is eating at the Trump administration."

For those who believe that a Democratic majority in Congress will be somehow inconsequential, look at what is happening right now without those majorities. Now picture that same movement backed by hearings, investigations, and legislation. Organize. Donate. Register. Vote.
