I just got back from Whistler and overheard *so many* conversations from people all over the world about not going to the US. A Dane said “I was planning to go to Vegas this year but then the Greenland thing happened.” One Aussie said to another “I don’t want to wind up in an ICE concentration camp”

Tenley Albright, who shook off polio as a kid to win the figure skating gold for the United States women in 1956, apparently was in the crowd cheering the skaters on today. She is 90 years old and went to Harvard Medical School to be a surgeon after she retired from skating. Kinda impressive.

Many contend that Gorsuch is the sharpest knife in the drawer at the Supreme Court, and his magnificent concurrence today will not persuade you otherwise. He systematically decapitates the alternative views as politely as possible. The windup:

An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.

This case is insane: ICE shot and killed a citizen last March then *hid it for a year.* The young man they killed had no criminal history. All we know about shooting is from internal ICE docs. We don't know officers' names. We don't have footage. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/20/u...

excelente!

Wow.

👏🏼👏🏼

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647. open.substack.com/pub/jkbjourn...

She never lived to see this moment, but it’s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre. She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrew’s. Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.

Andrew failed to raise $190B for his own personal security force.

It is notable that Andrew has been arrested for "misconduct in public office", which is precisely what the US Supreme Court decided no American president can ever be charged with.

Andrew was arrested on his 66th birthday.

CBS stands for Censorship Broadcast System.

Absolutely amazing!

If you’ve felt exhausted, anxious, or numb in the face of nonstop political turmoil, you’re not imagining it and you're definitely not alone. @sarahsloat.bsky.social looks at the research on the psychological and physical toll of polycrisis.

We were told to scrub "biodiversity" from our websites because of this shit.

I think it’s time for Democratic leaders to start saying “if you’re a pilot or ground crew involved in a deportation that was stayed by a judge, you’ll be held criminally liable for human trafficking.” Everyone involved in these flights should have that fear in the back of their minds.

The forest is the system: Not the individual trees. Most people try to build resilience by making themselves bigger, stronger, more independent. They stockpile resources, they build higher walls, they go it alone. HOWEVER, We The People are stronger together. Unite! #sheshed

What I’m reading.

Cuyahoga river before the EPA Cuyahoga river after the EPA & before Trump Cuyahoga river after Trump.

There is so much in this piece. The misuse of science, the fact that Epstein was proud of being illiterate, Epstein's ranch in New Mexico and the horrible things that occured there, and of course, the creation of a mostly men's club where Epstein funded intellectuals who would push his agenda.

😂🤣😂

There is no excuse for reckless violence from ICE. That’s why Democrats are demanding obvious, necessary reforms.

The courage of this man is impressive. The conduct of the Ukrainians makes me proud to be a human being.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

This. Every democrat attending that mess should bring a survivor with them.

We built Jikipedia, a new wiki that compiles Jmail data into exhaustive reports on key figures in the Epstein scandal. It lists all recorded visits to Epstein's estates, each person's possible knowledge of Epstein's crimes and laws that they may have violated.

Hope.

Broken bones, burning eyes: How Trump’s DHS deploys “less lethal” weapons on protesters - NBC News

Wow! This is some top-notch investigative journalism. The report claims the 3 million Epstein files released are only 2% of the total. The massive scale of what’s still missing is hard to comprehend.

Wow.

The best case scenario is that Trump will waste $38 billion. The more likely outcome is that these will become warehouses of human suffering, and a permanent stain on America's history.

I’ve said it before: the only thing that explains elected Republicans’ determination to support Trump’s objectively unpopular policies is that they don’t believe they’ll need to win a fair election. Otherwise they’d read the same polls we do and moderate.

A federal judge in Boston is postponing the termination of deportation protections for about 300 immigrants from South Sudan.

Shoutout to the Very Serious Foreign Affairs Experts who told us that Rubio would be a moderate force in the new Trump adm

The fleecing of America continues. "Trump administration deported some migrants at a cost of $1 million each, Democratic report says." www.cnn.com/2026/02/13/p...

Good. Our pressure is working. We don’t have to accept an ever-expanding surveillance state. Now Ring needs to go further: End facial recognition now.

Visitors to our country should not face a digital shakedown. @wyden.senate.gov and I are calling on CBP to reverse its invasive proposal to collect five years of social media history from travelers from trusted partner nations.

Swalwell: ICE agents shot Alex Pretti and Renee Good. And the only person in the world who has been held accountable by DHS is the pilot who somehow forgot to move Kristi Noem’s blankie.

This is the way. When they come at us, we come back at them twofold. Raise that Pride flag every time they take it down. If they prevent that, surround the park with Pride flags. Ruin their petty little lives until they shit rainbows. Never stop. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/n...
