Trump says he has the power to seize ballots — and now his spy chief is joining FBI raids of election offices. But guess what? I co-wrote the order he’s talking about. He’s lying. And a crime might be in progress. www.defiance.news/p/why-we-sho...

I'm actually on board with a Highlander remake. I love the original film (the series is my favorite TV show), but certain story and character elements could've been stronger. As long as they don't sacrifice the charm, quirkiness, and sense of mystique that made the original work.

So, incredibly, the White House has chosen to escalate in blue Minnesota and retreat in Maine to protect a vulnerable GOP Senator. It's confirmation that Trump-Vance-Miller view ICE as a partisan govt-backed militia to attack blue America while propping up their regime. 1/

“Melania” is truly the worst experience I’ve had in a theater” -Abraham Lincoln

🚨BREAKING: Two top Democrats in Fulton County, Georgia allege that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) lacked the authority for Wednesday’s raid of the county’s central election hub, in which the Feds seized 700 boxes of ballots and other election materials related to the 2020 vote.

If you're on Windows 11 24H2 or 25H2 and your system is randomly rebooting or (even worse) you're getting a black screen then reboot when trying to start Windows, here's a solution that worked for me: 1) Start the machine, then hold the power button to turn it off during the boot. Do this twice.

NEW: Liam Conejo Ramos, the 5-year-old who ICE agents in Minneapolis nabbed last week and shipped off to a Texas detention facility with his dad, is now in poor health, his school superintendent told me today www.huffpost.com/entry/liam-c...

The vice president's idea of patriotism is mocking a combat veteran's disabilities, proving their respect for the troops ends where their own cruel political theatrics begin. 1/2

Maher Tarabishi was detained in October during a scheduled check-in at an ICE facility. He was the primary caretaker of his son, who died last week. The family is seeking Maher's release so he can attend his son's funeral. ICE reportedly denied the request. Unimaginable cruelty.

It used to be a lot easier to make a living in LA if you were below the line, ie, a worker on the film and not a department head, that is also not true anymore. Production has disappeared, adjacent businesses like equipment rental houses have nearly vanished, and cost of living has skyrocketed.

🚨BREAKING: The FBI confirmed that it was carrying out a “lawful” search at the Fulton County Elections Hub and Operation Center in Union City, Georgia, but offered few details beyond saying the raid was authorized by a court and related to the 2020 election. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Folks, please don’t tell artists they shouldn’t be making or selling their art right now. For many, it’s how they pay the bills. Art is vital during times like this. ALL ART. Whether it’s a protest sign or a book cover or just a beautiful drawing. It’s part of the heart of humanity.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

There are so many aspects to the Holocaust that most people just don't know about. The Operation Reinhard camps where the number of survivors was in the single or double digits. How often local support was crucial for the Nazis to exterminate Jews. It's so much more than what most people know.

A note on Holocaust Remembrance Day posts. There are obviously bad actors who do this intentionally, but I’ve learned over the years that many well-meaning people don’t realize how important it is to include this phrasing.

And America’s xenophobic laws meant that many Jews could not escape to the United States. Many Jews were turned away for fear they were Nazi spies. www.smithsonianmag.com/history/us-g...

Legitimately a feat of carefully calculated writing to issue a Holocaust Remembrance Day statement of this length without mentioning either (1) the people who perpetrated the Holocaust or (2) the people against whom they perpetrated it

this story quotes: - A trump ambassador - A museum run by Trump appointees - Stop Antisemitism, an organization funded by right-wing donors ... aaannnnddd that's it! Not a single scholar of the Holocaust. Not anyone unaffiliated with Walz' political opponents.

my grandmother, an Auschwitz survivor, was Anne Frank’s neighbor in Amsterdam, and Oma thinks this comparison is perfectly apt

Please note this is only the deaths we have been told about - and does not include however many people have died in overseas gulags.

This should be a huge story

JD Vance's strategy for succeeding Trump as head of the MAGA movement is predicated on retaining and exciting the support of violent Nazis all around the US. That's what makes his Holocaust commemoration so unique.

Abolish. ice. 💔

Dangerous domestic terrorist vs patriotic 2A enthusiast

Does this mean Texas gets invaded now? Or is that only after intrepid reporter Nick Shirley gets a scoop? www.fox4news.com/news/48-texa...

I’m putting a twist on what I’ve seen going around. 1 like = 1 link to one of my INCspotlight reviews from my defunct review blog.

BTW it's International Holocaust Remembrance Day. As the grandson of a survivor, my request to you is to spend today having a meaningful conversation with yourself about how you personally can join the fight against fascism right now.

Please, explain to me how this can be reformed. Like I'm 5.

Everyone still think athletes will avoid DHS (ICE, CBP etc) racial profiling? #WorldCup ⚽️

Trump recently urged lawmakers to pass the SAVE Act—here's how this dangerous legislation would block millions of Americans from voting.

Here's what ICE is up to in Northeast Minneapolis today. Absolutely heartbreaking. Warning: video is hard to watch

Just days after a group of Trump-aligned billionaires officially took over TikTok in the U.S., users reported their videos criticizing ICE and the shooting of Alex Pretti were suppressed or delayed. The oligarchy is tightening its grip over even more of our media. Beware.

🤢🤢🤢

I went to my annual physical with my regular PCP. You know, the one that's supposed to be free with insurance? Well, she asked me if I had any new health concerns. I brought up my desire to shed a few stubborn pounds. We talked about it for 5 minutes. That's now a "split appt" and the cost is $225

One armed goon loses his shit at an observer who's backing up, and then several more armed goons tackle the observer to the ground, and then even more armed goons form a protective shield around the armed goons handcuffing the observer for hurting an armed goon's feelings. This can't be "reformed"

On this day in 1945, the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp was liberated. Between 5,000-15,000 homosexual men were sent to concentration camps. About 60% of them died there. After the camps were liberated, many of these men were reimprisoned under buggery laws. #HolocaustRemembranceDay

I just want to point out that Bovino's response to Bill gives away the underlying worldview: Sympathizing with (black and brown) immigrants over (white) American citizens makes you a (race) traitor, which makes you a part of the "problem" (and thereby deserving of same treatment as the immigrants)

Thread of self-publishing advice-seeking from the #WritingCommunity! As I prepare to release my debut novel this year, I am very naive about the process! I’m looking for overall advice, cautions, and logistical suggestions. How did you do it? What did and didn’t work well? What are my options?

I've got one that comes straight from the original Robin Hood ballads - Robin Hood dreaming of being captured and beaten by foresters the night before he encounters Gisbourne.

Brilliant piece by @adamserwer.bsky.social:

This five year old is still in jail

One human rights observer in Maine said agents followed her home, blocked off her street, and came to her door to say they know where she lives. Her children are now staying elsewhere, to keep them safe.

Some of you will remember my posts raving about Sal Buscema. He's gone now. He did some unforgettable work with @jmdematteis.bsky.social and his run on The Incredible Hulk was an indelible part of my childhood. He had a good run. To be appreciated in your own time is the best thing for artists.

His crackdown is over? Nobody told ICE in Maine. I am *begging* people not to forget about us. ICE is running their MN playbook here too, and still. #ice #maine #minnesota #mn

Re-upping this story . . . Mr. Porter's is not the only one, sadly. Not all end in deaths, either (e.g., Marimar Martinez). Not all are shootings (e.g., Chaofeng Ge, Gabriel Garcia Aviles) #WorkingToFix2026 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

If it isn’t something Robin Hood or Marian are willing to eat, they’ll take it to go and give it to a homeless person or something along those lines. Gisbourne would kill the people who messed up his order. The sheriff would arrest the entire restaurant staff and auction it (and the land) off.

Don't bring Laken Riley into this to exploit her tragic death. The Minneapolis murders are about state sponsored domestic terror by ICE and CBP goons.
