A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

Seattle scene report: Sea-HAWKS chant breaking out before the start of the Neil Diamond tribute band show. 💙💚🏈

“The Epstein class” is a keeper.

NEW: A baby held in immigration detention became so sick, she had to be rushed to a hospital in severe respiratory distress. “She was at the brink of dying,” a lawyer told me. But the girl didn’t go home after her 10-day hospital stay; instead, ICE put her and her mother back in lock up at Dilley.

If Bezos truly fired him for this, then I really don’t understand what his plan is for the paper. I couldn’t imagine him caring what Lewis did one way or another, especially if there’s some overarching goal to be accomplished here.

Cut to Miss Piggy karate chopping the keynote speaker for being in the Epstein files

Having successfully completed his mission of turning the Washington Post into a conservative opinion-first megaphone for Jeff Bezos, Will Lewis is moving on.

Good riddance to perhaps the worst newspaper publisher of all time (definitely the 21st century)

Trust me, the woman of academia are not at all surprised by the number of academic men orbiting Epstein.

Ossoff: "You're seeing what I'm seeing, right? The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."

Portland scene report: “A Guide for Modern Witches”

American star Alysa Liu overcame a delay en route to the Milano Skating Arena caused by Vice President JD Vance’s motorcade and finished second in the women’s short program at the Olympics team event. “We almost didn’t make it,” her coach said.

I love waking up and trying to decipher another Bluesky mystery 😅

But “science is doing ok!”

Himpathy is a hell of a drug

This administration thinks that backing down from anything is a sign of weakness that will be exploited. Would be cool to see some of their political opponents prove them right

This cannot be reformed.

First thing I saw after driving 3 hours down from Seattle to Portland today 👏👏👏

Portland scene report

If you are watching the opening ceremony on NBC, you won't hear the boos of JD Vance because NBC cut it. Corporations working to keep Americans in the dark about how unpopular their elected officials are. The White House reposted the censored clip. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Neither the President nor Vice President of the United States can make a public appearance in front of a non-partisan crowd either in America or abroad without being booed.

Michigan scoring a short handed goal against Michigan State is almost as good as Heated Rivalry. Almost

Trump has posted on Truth Social about 65 times in the last 90 minutes, including a video he posted at 8:44 PM PT describing election fraud lies that shows racist AI images of Michelle and Barack Obama as monkeys at the end. I’ve confirmed this is real and watched it myself. 25th Amendment now.

For months Governor Abbott secretly deployed the Texas National Guard into ICE detention facilities, even forcing them to work in the detention center that imprisoned Liam Ramos and a two month old baby.

They're trying to tell us that they always get what they want. That there is nothing so hideous that they won't do it, even if it's kidnap a five year old child and then, when they lose, really try even harder to make him suffer more. Fuck them.

Let’s take a page from wrassling and chant “FUCK ICE” at the Olympics

Relax, bread department

Excellent.

Dilley is a hellhole and we have to get it shut down and all those kids freed.

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!

The US government is spending taxpayer dollars to sue a 5-year-old refugee/kindergartener for seeking asylum here through the legal and proper channels when he was an infant

They text each other and have spreadsheets. scary

It's been 150 days of Kavanaugh stops in America, and it just keeps getting worse, so I checked in with the justice to ask him if he's had second thoughts. My request for comment did not elicit a response. The third in a once-every-50-days Law Dork series:

It's not just the women and girls we know of. It's all their future work, and everything they could have been, and how we build structures that shelter their abusers. It's how a man's future has always been worth more than my past, present, and future combined.

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

Jessie Diggins, Olympic cross-country skiing gold medalist, from the Twin Cities: “I want to make sure you know who I’m racing for…”

While reporting this, I had something happen that's never happened. A comms rep for one of the co's disputed my reporting and said what I was telling them was untrue because it was not in Grok, xAI's chatbot. I was looking directly at the files. And this person was using AI to challenge the truth.

Pay attention to this now. Trump is signaling his desire to rig the midterms.

Republicans love to talk about protecting kids, yet they are constantly putting trans kids in danger. Trans people account for less than 1% of the population, yet there were 745 anti-trans bills introduced last year alone. It’s cruelty for the sake of cruelty.

Elon's decision to shut down USAID is the direct cause of countless deaths. That he isn't persona non grata in many communities after that is a source of shame.

Trump is paraphrasing the far less well known scripture portion known as the “Sir-man on the mount” where Jesus advises a sycophantic military leader on how to most effectively and sadistically murder his opponents. Not many people know about those passages.

CONFIRMED: What’s left of Air Wisconsin is now doing ICE flights. Shackled migrants being loaded onto a commuter jet with all-white livery today at BWI. (Sound up.)

Here's that Hilary Knight goal for USA

The Snack Stadium Super Bowl was one of the best days of my life

cannot possibly convey how actually crazy-making it can feel, after spending 20 years monitoring all these orgs blaming sex workers and the internet for enabling a vast sex trafficking network, to now see Jeffery Epstein’s inbox

What if the crowd at the Super Bowl started screaming “Fuck Ice”? Just doing a bit of manifesting here—it would be an international story. And sure, they might scrub it from broadcast the way @cbs did but…

It was @asharangappa.bsky.social who first put this idea in my head, but really starting to feel like they're gonna try to get Maduro to cop to some insane 2020 election conspiracy in exchange for leniency www.reuters.com/world/americ...

INBOX: first reported by The Daily Free Press, Boston University's student newspaper, Mariette DiChristina, dean of Boston University’s College of Communication, corresponded extensively with Jeffrey Epstein in 2014 and 2015, including a one-on-one meeting, and “phone dates”

Seattle scene report

Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.
