Each story is deeply horrifying and together the pattern is clear. Institutionally sanctioned torture and genocide. youtu.be/upidEwQwsyA

Let’s stop softening the language. The pregnant detainees in the Texas ICE camp are children. They are not “young women.” They are minors. If pregnancies occurred while they were detained, every ICE officer must be investigated for child sexual assault. These children must be freed.

NEW: This week, the average daily population at Dilley dropped to 100 people, compared with over 900 in January. The shift follows weeks of mounting public pressure generated in part by the widespread publication of letters written by detained children. www.propublica.org/article/fami...

This is the quintessence of narcissistic sociopathy. And just plain stupidity. From @anneapplebaum.bsky.social:

Dear World, Don’t help him. Oppose him. Defy him. Embarrass him. Arrest him, if you’d like. We’re not with him. Sincerely, Decent Americans

JBS workers have faced unsafe working conditions, dangerous quotas, and discrimination for years. Solidarity with these workers for fighting back and going on strike.

Ted Lieu: “Dear Brendan Carr — If you implement your flagrantly anti First Amendment actions, you will be sued & you will lose — And legal discovery will be awesome. Because the American people can then find out what the Administration keeps hiding Take your fascist shit & shove it”

Most Americans have no idea what’s happening in Lebanon right now because media is focusing on Iran, but it’s a crucial aspect of the war in the Middle East.

More and more, Trump is making US institutions behave like Putin’s Russian versions. This was an immediate military coverup of something that should have been admitted: More and more rot.

Time to address the elephant in the room: it is time for Pete Hegseth to go. ⬇️

Spring!

Trump doesn’t have the ability to dictate when the war is over.

Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"

Trump has now conducted 42 boat strikes, killing nearly 160 people. Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it. He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner. This is a danger to us all.

Are we still looking for waste, fraud, and abuse? I think I found some.

Thank you, Reps Huffman, Raskin, Houlahan, and others: 30 Democratic members of Congress are requesting an internal investigation at the DoD regarding claims from uniformed officers that commanders have painted the current war in Iran as one rooted in Christian biblical prophecy.

US-Israeli strikes on four oil facilities in Iran released oil and toxic fumes into the air, leading to hazardous rain. Residents have been told to stay indoors. #Infograph

THREAD: We just released a tool that allows you to search billions of dollars in wealth, ties to the most powerful companies in the country, and details of the personal finances of President Trump and over 1,500 of his appointees. Here’s how it works 1/

Like clockwork.

🤷🏼 🇺🇸

Bernie's new billionaire wealth tax would raise $4.4T from the super-rich over the next decade. That's more than enough to reverse Trump's Medicaid cuts, raise teacher pay, make childcare affordable, and build millions of affordable homes. And guess what? The super-rich will still be super rich.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

They spent billions on regime change in Venezuela and left the Maduro's head of torture in charge. They are now spending billions on regime change in Iran, knowing the most likely outcome will be harder line leadership. We do not have serious people running our country.

30 years. This video should be on every network.

Today, @mckay4senate.bsky.social urges us not to forget what Elon Musk do to USAID, something that is still likely to have the highest body count of the administration’s actions. McKay documents just what Elon has done in detail www.liberalcurrents.com/what-elon-ha...

very different. Families report nonstop noise, sleepless nights, and concerns about air quality. Property values are suddenly in question. Long-time residents say they weren’t prepared for heavy industrial activity operating around the clock in what had been a rural area.

Aliya Rahman was ejected from Trump's State of the Union and spent several hours in jail following what she describes as an aggressive arrest by Capitol Police — all for silently challenging Trump during the speech.

Aliya Rahman is a U.S. citizen who was violently arrested by federal immigration in Minneapolis. She attended the State of the Union address Tuesday as a guest of Congressmember Ilhan Omar, but she was ejected from the chamber after silently standing during President Trump's speech.

Does this haunt them when they go home to their own kids? www.propublica.org/article/dill...

There is no end to their cruelty www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

If you’re not watching the People’s State of the Union, please do! Don’t watch Trump!

$1.5T military budget $170B on ICE & Border Patrol $100B on tax cuts for the 1% $20B from Treasury for Argentina $1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet $500M sending National Guard into cities $250M on Kristi Noem's jets $100M+ on Trump's golf outings $75k for Kash Patel's Olympic trip Priorities.

The raids allegedly began in response to a recent ProPublica article featuring letters and drawings from children inside the San Antonio-area immigrant detention site.

Since October, federal courts have ruled more than 4,400 times that ICE is illegally jailing immigrants. Now the agency wants to spend $38B to turn warehouses across the country into detention camps. Remember that some of Trump's biggest supporters are private prison companies running these camps.

i think jesse jackson was one of the most important american political figures of the post-war era and i think that his 1984 and 1988 campaigns for the democratic nomination still have a great deal to teach about forging a path to a more egalitarian world. RIP.
