“A letter tossed over the detention center fence said they’ve been held 290 days… haven’t had a single piece of fruit… no pain meds…” @corecivic, folks

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.

Bad Bunny’s closing messages during his Super Bowl performance: “The only thing more powerful than hate is love” “Together, we are America”

NYT confirming MS NOW reporting: Prosecutors began investigating Renee Good's killing, then Washington told them to stop. Federal prosecutors had a warrant to collect evidence from Good's vehicle, but Trump leaders said to drop it. About a dozen prosecutors have since departed.

They looked for “Don T” in the Epstein files and redacted all instances, which means they also redacted a lot of “don’t”

Not sure how to read this as anything other than Trump's handpicked Director of National Intelligence betraying the United States and doing so to protect him from revelation of the fact that his regime is secretly working with a hostile foreign intelligence agency

Prosecutors Began Investigating Renee Good’s Killing. Washington Told Them to Stop. Federal prosecutors had a warrant to collect evidence from her vehicle, but Trump administration leaders said to drop it. A dozen prosecutors have departed, leaving the Minnesota U.S. attorney’s office in turmoil.

Maybe we need to take a different approach: who in this administration is *not* in the Epstein files?

👀👀

Just want to remind everyone who flunked civics class that it doesn't make a damn difference what Trump accepts regarding midterm congressional elections.

Finneas is better at political messaging than 99% of the Democratic consultants in DC.

In a democracy, we are supposed to feel like we have control over our lives because the people control the government. But in the U.S., people feel like our lives are out of control because the people don’t control the federal government.

Vive la France!

Excellent news.

Name them shame them

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

They're protecting the names of the pedophiles while revealing the names of their victims

“A review of 47 victims’ full names on Sunday found that 43 of them were left unredacted in files that were made public by the government on Friday, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis. Several women’s full names appeared more than 100 times in the files. “ www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

Rep. Morrison on conditions at Whipple: "She said, 'they are treating us like animals in here. The women that are in this cell with me, we slept on a cold concrete floor last night. We were begging for a blanket, & guards were cruel'... we have to resolve that every single person deserves dignity"

I guess they are pretty upset. For some reason.

If all these oligarchs named in the Epstein Files are totally innocent, surely they’d be in favor of an independent investigation into Epstein’s crimes. Right?

It should not take a court order to get a toddler out of a prison.

I keep hearing the same argument from MAGA: "What about all the citizens murdered by illegals". Then get a warrant and go arrest them! Don't patrol the streets terrorizing everyone, arresting children at schools and US citizens because you don't know who to arrest. See the difference?

A recent report of a federal immigration, checkpoint diverting all cars entering into Oklahoma from Texas. Trump’s masked deportation forces claim they are doing “targeted operations” while causing traffic jams for everybody.

For this week's #ThursdayFilmRec 🗃️🎥🍿🎬 #HATM Watch or (Rewatch) "The Mortal Storm" (1940) - Dir. Frank Borzage, about the rise of Nazism (starring Jimmy Stewart & Margaret Sullavan). It so infuriated Joseph Goebbels that he banned it in Germany & also all MGM films. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p12s...

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot. "They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets." "They had the professional demeanor of criminals." ht: @paulgraham.bsky.social

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

♥️♥️

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

reported ICE activities in the Twin Cities this morning -- terrorizing a daycare -- drawing weapons outside a bank

There MUST be accountability.

Evil

🚨BREAKING: State election leaders and voting rights advocates across the country are blasting U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi for exploiting the killing of a U.S. citizen in Minneapolis by a federal immigration officer to “blackmail” Minnesota into handing over access to its unredacted voter rolls.

I know it's hard to track all the threats to democracy out there right now, but this is at the top of the list.

Ben Damberg protest volunteer: “None of us want to be doing this — I don’t, but we simply cannot stand by as other Minnesotans are being hurt — we will march, we will protest, & we will do it all peacefully above all else”

NYT analysis confirms Pretti’s gun was gone by the time they shot him to death. 10 shots. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/24/u...

Filming federal agents in public is not a crime, nobody should be harassed or restrained for doing so, nobody should have their phone confiscated for it, and nobody should get the death penalty for it. This is supposed to be a free Republic, not an authoritarian police state.
