"hey boss, how can we make breaking the law sound noble and brave?" "say they're undeterred"

It must be *infuriating* to TSA agents, who are NOT getting paid, to see lazy ICE agents, who ARE getting paid, lounging about the airport and doing nothing to help either them or passengers.

Looks like Paramount is going to own BET now too. Wonder how that will affect programming? Aside from the fact you now will have to be paying full cable rates for a single streaming app. (oh but keep an eye out for that BET loyalty rate.. i.e. the limited time sucker you in rate)

He was certainly afraid of Vietnam-style combat in Vietnam.

It seems to be mostly going under the radar that the US is on the verge of causing mass deaths and starvation in Cuba due to its oil embargo. www.nbcnews.com/world/cuba/c...

Hello?

a fundamental thing about trump is that other people literally do not exist to him. he does not perceive them to be real.

Saying the quiet part out loud as the Authoritarian attempts to control the truth. #25thAmendmentNOW

Trump pardons allies who boost his crypto coin. Trump invests in corporations that he's supposed to be regulating. Trump cuts deals with autocrats to advance his family's real estate business. The list goes on. We must not become numb to this blatant corruption.

The degree to which this administration is evil would be comical if not for all the lives they impact.

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

Please PLEASE search what 250 means in Chinese. I can't think of a more truthful trademark than this! I pray they print it everywhere and make a household slogan.

While the US and Russia deplete their weapons reserves, China sits back and continues to build its own…..

I wouldn’t ride in a robotaxi. I might do one where the robotaxi drives to pick you up. Then I get behind the wheel and drive and then it drives off in its own afterward. My logic here is that I can trust self driving more than most other drivers but not more than I trust my own.

While cruelty has always been the point of Trump's whole Administration, nothing highlights that more than dropping a nearly blind elderly man 5 miles from nowhere in freezing weather so that he die alone, afraid, and abandoned. This is Trump's America. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

It’s funny how all the grifters who spent years ranting about protecting women’s sports are now completely silent about Trump’s comments on the U.S. women’s hockey team…

Yep, I cringe at the "culture" argument every time. Like, which country never had oppressions/protests/rebellions? If I learned one thing from living in 2 vastly different countries and getting a PhD in comparative politics, it's that humans all react similarly given the same stimuli.

An ICE agent shot and killed 23-year-old U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas almost an entire year ago and hid the shooting from the public. It’s only now coming to light, 11 months later, due to Freedom of Information Act requests. What else is the regime hiding from us?

The coverup continues.

Ask yourself: why would this administration want to delete references to Medgar Evers’ racist assassin being a racist? Why might that be? I challenge anyone in this administration or Congress to defend this.

interesting that these people — and fellow travelers like bari weiss — insist on large, expensive security details. they are status markers, i suppose.

Prosecuting lawmakers for their speech is a clear assault on the most basic of American freedoms. Fortunately the grand jury stopped this in its tracks, but it should never have gotten this far.

so funny to remember news reports last year about "trump fires BLS people because they kept making numbers he was unhappy about" and now see serious reporters be like "BLS numbers seem better than expected, what are the implications of this..."

AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

I’m am convinced that Trump is going to bomb Iran just before superbowl halftime in attempt to take away ratings from the Bad Bunnny halftime show.

Doctors and public health officials are concerned about the drop in health alerts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention since President Trump returned for a second term. n.pr/3O3LRna

From a Sports Illustrated editorial about the US presence at the winter Olympics: "The strongest evidence that ICE agents are not here is that Italians protested and nobody shot them. " www.msn.com/en-us/sports...

For those keeping score at home:

DHS, ICE and CBP lie 100% of the time: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

If I have the right Nellie Bowles, the partner in question is Bari Weiss

This is a cover up of a murder, led by our own federal government.

"We'll take our stand for this land & the stranger in our midst..." Powerful. Brutal. Inspirational. A loving tribute to Renée Good, Alex Pretti & the good people of Minneapolis. Plus, it name-checks all the villains: the Puppy Killer🐶, Pee-Wee German🇩🇪, the Orange Atrocity🍊💩 & above all: ICE🧊🚫 1/

Horrifying accounts of ICE violence.

If Kristi Noem isn’t fired this week, House Democrats will move to impeach her—and we will move to hold ICE agents who are killing and terrorizing people accountable to the fullest extent of the law.

1/ I was one of the first members of Congress to call for Kristi Noem’s impeachment, and I am renewing that call today alongside @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and our Democratic Leadership.

Amid these dark moments, something important is beginning to shift. It's clearly the result of healthy political pressure - which we must sustain, and build.

Does anyone get the feeling they unloaded ten shots to make sure Pretti could never live to tell the tale? Same with Renee Good. The first two shots were non-lethal. It was the third shot into her left temple from the side of the car that killed her, according to the autopsy.

We see where Apple stands.

1/ DHS agents are out of control. This is not law enforcement, this is lawlessness. ICE and CBP are undermining public safety and engaging in deadly para-military intimidation tactics.

This administration has normalized so many unbelivable behaviors. Now they moved on to normalizing murder.

An ICE detainee is the victim of “homicide” according to an autopsy report, and he is just one of 3 deaths in 44 days at this Texas ICE detention facility. I've got the latest details, including DHS' efforts to silence and deport the eyewitnesses to this homicide. youtu.be/lcLnJ9GF7dw?...

Bipartisan negotiators released a DHS funding bill that does not significantly reduce ICE and CBP’s funding nor rein in the agencies’ abuses of power. Make no mistake: Any Democrat who votes for this bill is complicit in Trump’s campaign of terror. Grow a spine and vote no.

NEW: The Trump administration has written a secret legal opinion that ICE doesn’t need a proper warrant to enter your home. Late last night, I filed a FOIA request for that legal opinion. substack.com/@muellershew...

Stop what you’re doing and read this whistleblower report. ICE has been training its agents that they don’t need a judicial warrant to break down your door - a blatant violation of the 4th Amendment. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.
