having your city noticed by the president is now a natural disaster on par with a hurricane or major flood

Just a reminder as Bondi spreads administration bullshit about threats to immigration agents: Last year was the second safest year for ICE and BP agents in history, despite a massive ramp up in agression, violence, and abuse by agents themselves. www.cato.org/blog/2025-wa...

if you played sonic the hedgehog and put down the controller, sonic would look at you and tap his foot impatiently. this was proof that sega genesis cartridges had souls. the decision was made to make the storage cases a lot larger than the cartridges so they would have room to move around in there

simply one of the greatest calls of all time

We have received numerous credible reports of torture, killing, and inhumane treatment of detained individuals at the Camp East Montana migrant detention facility, located within Fort Bliss. #txlege

Evil men like Epstein are, in the simplest form, obsessed with eugenics because they believe that their ill-gotten gains are the product of some innate superiority.

Asked to apologize to rape victims for failing to redact their personal information, the attorney general instead demanded that members of Congress apologize to the president for impeaching him, boasted about the stock market, and declared him the most transparent president in U.S. history.

Chris Murphy: "I sat with the kids for an hour. They saw things in these prisons they'll never forget. The bottom line is we have a constitutional obligation to only fund an administration that's operating lawfully. We cannot, we should not fund DHS if it committing these crimes."

Children jailed with their families in Dilley, Texas, are describing intense anguish and fear, including a 13-year-old who said, “I feel like I’ll never get out of here. I just ask that you don’t forget about us.”

"Silent defiance" is the new "peaceful protest". Effective resistance must be DISRUPTIVE. What the fuck is sitting silently at SOTU going to do? Has Dem leadership learned NOTHING since last year's, when Rep Green had the courage no one else has, then 10 Dems voted w/ the GOP to censure him for it?

Democratic leadership fails to meet the moment over and over and over. The fact that there is no united Opposition party in Congress is making it more difficult for the nation to defend against the fascist GOP. Time after time, Jeffries and Schumer fail to behave like allies in this struggle.

Right now, as millions of pages filled with the most despicable, depraved atrocities human beings are capable of, cover every square inch of America’s collective consciousness, the pro-life Christians are nowhere to be found... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/to-pro-lif...

I think maybe the remarkable part is that the US Attorney tried to indict six Democratic elected officials (and veterans) who made a video saying that everyone should follow the law.

Oh, well that sounds sustainable. Let’s stake the entire global economy on it!

Refreshing to see criminal and journalistic investigations go forward in Norway. The scandal is meaningful and there is a meaningful response. All of us should do so well. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

This is true (and not confined to Minneapolis)

Again it’s important to remember the context of these chats is that a woman was shot five times in her car as she was attempting to donate clothes at a church.

Sens Jon Husted (R-OH) & Bernie Moreno (R-OH) both got big payments from Les Wexner and then on cue started to disparage investigations into the Epstein files. This is how the corrupt system works.

“I’ve mentioned before that concentration camp regimes in their early stages often make use of large open infrastructure to convert into detention spaces. Dachau was converted from a shuttered factory into a concentration camp in 1933.”

in a text string after the shooting, a fellow agent told Exum he's a "legend" "Beers on me"

Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.** He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.

"Yeah, everyone just go ahead and delete TikTok now if you haven't already."

the rollout of the mRNA vaccines was one of the greatest public health triumphs in history and the end result has been the all-around triumph of the antivax movement and I will never get over it

The real product she’s selling is probably a training course on generating slop novels no one will buy.

Leslie Wexner, former CEO of Victoria's Secret, was the other man named by Ava Cordero as her rapist and abuser alongside Jeffrey Epstein in 2007, only to be mocked and degraded and dismissed as crazy because she's trans.

Damn, we removed all the places kids could go to socialise, then destroyed all kid centric hang out websites and games and then we banned them from social media and we're surprised that they find friendship in a positive reinforcement robot?

see that's not particularly difficult messaging

just a fucking weird statement on it's face but also highlights how filthy rich and completely out of touch trump's whole cabinet is. a private boat for a family vacation? stopping by a billionaire's island for lunch? nannies, plural?? the epstein class, indeed.

“It’s just a horrible, horrible, horrible place,” he said of his detention camp. “I’m not in fear of the other inmates. I’m afraid of the staff. They’re capable of anything.”

"If the government may simply seize *someone* without due process, there is no check on its ability to seize *anyone*." Perhaps the most fundamental check against tyranny. And it is gravely threatened.

Easy: They hate America. They hate Anericans. They desise our multicultural multiethnic democracy and the dream of freedom and egalitarianism for all and they're stamping it out.

So, Leon Black being connected to Epstein ends up affecting a *shit ton* of seemingly wildly disparate companies and brands. McGraw Hill textbooks, Hostess twinkies, Regent Seven Seas Cruises, the Jacuzzi brand (for a bit), and Chuck E Cheese, the connection is a private equity pedophile.

They lent $184 to Kushner in 2017 for Chicago slumlording, they own private military contractor Constellis, they own ADT, they bought Hostess in 2013. They bought McGraw-Hill in 2012.

Apollo Management Group, the former CEO of which Leon Black, who is in the Epstein files. He paid Epstein $158 million. They own Qdoba, among tons of other stuff. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_...

One of the results of corporate consolidation is that now every company is actually just the same 5 companies, and all 5 are owned by Epstein associates. Like, *one* high ranking exec is found in the Epstein files and bam, that's like 200 seemingly totally different products and brands.

As Trump's DHS leaders cry to Congress this morning about how deadly Minnesota is for immigration agents, we updated our tally of people ICE and CBP agents have killed since last January. It's up to 25.

Schumer said repeatedly that his foremost goal is to serve Israel, a genocidal state. He sees what ICE does as normal and good, just like he sees what Israel does to Palestinians as normal and good. He spent his life excusing evil. He will not help innocent people; he is there to help their abusers.

NEW: ICE is leasing offices throughout the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign. WIRED is publishing dozens of these locations.

The Wall Street Journal just illustrated the core argument of my book: a system rigged to reward capital over labor is one in which even full-time work no longer secures the most basic material needs. This is the economic order that produces the "working homeless." www.wsj.com/economy/jobs...
