"Portland's resolve is stronger than ever. In the face of escalating brutality, people are still standing strong + refusing to back down. For many, Saturday’s violence didn’t deter them, it made them more determined." Crucial report via @alissaazar.bsky.social. www.wewillfreeus.org/portlands-la...

DHS's inspector general is probing ICE's biometric and surveillance programs.

For anarchists that are new and never heard of Ricardo Flores Magon, look him up! He was a great man whose visions were similar to Emilio Zapata.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!

A very welcome defeat for the monstrous effort to treat Palestine solidarity as a major crime and stifle it in the process. Starmer's 'Labour' government deserves nothing but the deepest contempt and the utmost hostility. #PalestineAction

Hollywood producer Barry Josephson to Jeffrey Epstein: “I've been thinking a lot about that question that you asked bill gates 'how do we get rid of poor people as a whole'"

Anyway, Microsoft's gaming products are subject to a boycott from the BDS movement, due to Microsoft's ongoing support for the IDF. Bethesda is owned by Microsoft. nogamesforgenocide.com

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

The morning after mass layoffs, The Washington Post publishes this as their lead editorial. The owner and publisher clearly have no idea why they are losing subscribers. Meanwhile they have destroyed a storied brand. Support independent media. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

The CDC has identified nearly 600 cases of measles in the U.S. in January alone — a number that would have seemed unimaginable just a few years ago, as the virus has been considered eradicated in the U.S. for more than two decades.

A bus stop near Tesla's flagship store in London. Imagine a Super Bowl ad that showed only this.

NEW: A new tool searches your LinkedIn connections for people who are mentioned in the Epstein files. 404 Media tested the tool, called EpsteIn—as in, a mash up of Epstein and LinkedIn—and it appears to work.

very weird “I am Spartacus” thing happening right now with the worst people on earth

You should be developing defensive plans and coordinating within your communities to protect vulnerable individuals from ICE. Their violence must be met with solidarity, and we must believe in our ability to fight back. No one gets left behind, learn de-arresting. Doctors and nurses are invaluable.

Young workers are marching on Washington DC this weekend - but their demands aren’t just American. Across Europe and the world, young workers face the same fight for fairness. Ljupka from EPSU’s Youth Network sends #solidarity from the streets of North Macedonia all the way to the USA! ✊

I can't even imagine women who've been abused and assaulted looking at ppl wanting to elect poweful, rich white men to combat a problem caused by powerful, rich white men…just because they're D and blue. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Never trusted #JaredLeto

NEW: since last year, a pair of "highly trained" feds have been involved in an array of incidents attacking crowds with chemical weapons. We used public records and open source analysis to identify Edgar Vazquez and Michael Sveum, alongside some other members of their tactical team. Read more:

I keep thinking about how some of these people really don’t think it will cause lots of people to die but many of them actually do and want that because they’re eugenicists

always bears repeating that this is NOT a financial decision. jeff bezos is worth over 250 billion dollars. he can afford to lose many millions and never even notice it. this is, at its core, a political and personal decision by bezos to destroy the post

Over the weekend, 404 Media told the DOJ that they leaked unredacted photos of women and girls in sexual poses in the latest Epstein dump. @emanuelmaiberg.bsky.social talks about how we reported it and why we held the story until the DOJ removed the images. Listen: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDcO...

GOOD NEWS, EVERYONE!!

A key Mississippi lawmaker has passed a major hurdle on a bill that calls for tougher oversight of deaths inside the state’s notorious prisons, following an investigation by The Marshall Project - Jackson, Mississippi Today, Clarion Ledger, Hattiesburg American and The Mississippi Link.

I'm not trying to diminish anyone's shock. We are all conditioned to ignore systemic violence that is occurring all around us. When something punctures the veil, and we react, that's an essential jumping off point. I do want to challenge folks to understand the broader context, bc that's necessary.

Always listen to @sesmith.lol

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 Feb 3: Cal Horton pinpoints the paradox of UK anti-conversion therapy efforts: while the govt is committed to a CT ban but implemented NHS services for under-18s that are CT in all but name. So a ban would mean prosecuting itself for trans kids' healthcare.

holy shit

www.nrtoday.com/news/crime/d... Man impersonating ICE shoots at people on highway in Oregon. A white man in Dillard, Oregon was arrested for stopping people on the freeway to demand at gunpoint that they tell him if they were citizens.

its real hard to do sex work while the world burns

The children that were imprisoned from Liam Ramos’ school at the time he was imprisoned are still imprisoned as far as I know.

The six senators’ demands come shortly after a nonpartisan watchdog group asked for an investigation into Blanche, alleging that his orders violated the law because they benefited the crypto industry broadly, including his own investments.

Two agents involved in the shooting deaths of US citizens in Minneapolis are reportedly part of paramilitary tactical units—including ICE’s two Special Response Teams (SRT), CBP’s one SRT, and the Border Patrol Tactical Unit (BORTAC)—whose extreme tactics are generally reserved for war zones.

#OtD 3 Feb 1988 2500 nurses across the UK strike against a low pay offer. Some Vauxhall workers and miners joined them on sympathy strikes. Despite press attacks, most people supported them, and they won some concessions stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1017...

Across Greece, farmers set up roadblocks in a fight for survival. This is no longer about negotiation or leverage. It is an existential struggle. Without immediate and structural change, small-scale farming in Greece will simply disappear. [Video] unicornriot.ninja/2026/tractor...

I completely forgot how anti-porn criminal minds was camming is the same as full service work, saying hustler creates serial killers- this is *wild* lmao

This is going to end with them defending pedophilia, isn't it.

Walmart is officially a trillion-dollar company. Today the retail giant joined the ranks of Meta, Tesla, Amazon and more to pass a $1 trillion market cap. Meanwhile, starting pay at Walmart is as low as $14/hour, and thousands of its workers have to rely on SNAP and Medicaid.
