This interchange with @perrybaconjr.bsky.social and @filipecampante.bsky.social is crucial reading. Opposition parties have to mobilize the opposition not sit on the sidelines as a minority party in the legislature. This is a civic task, not a legislative one.

This is who ICE murdered. A VA nurse who dedicated his life to helping critically ill veterans.

This isn’t my area. I find Orin’s analysis thoughtful. My only two cents? Relying on warrants issued without independent review is ripe for abuse. Folks who cohabitate with a fed target have privacy. Citizens need protection from being misidentified and wrongfully arrested. That isn’t speculative.

🚨 Source has told me ICE is planning operations in Seattle “very soon” in larger numbers than Minneapolis. I have no further information.

“In response to the United States’ withdrawal from the World Health Organization, California announced that it has joined the WHO’s Global Outbreak Alert & Response Network, the first state to do so.”

So many mainstream outlets covered this as Vance offering an olive branch to Minneapolis talkingpointsmemo.com/news/vance-e...

Hey, Laura. I bet if you look hard enough, you might be able to find JD Vance, saying some pretty ugly things about Donald Trump. Possibly even comparing him to Hitler! Who knows what you could do with that sort of information?

Republicans are losing on immigration

Politicians + temptation is usually a toddler-and-toy problem. But the bigger risk is the toddler who insists gravity is a hoax and jumps anyway. And that's why we need to watch the toddler who wants to remove Fed guardrails.

This is 10-year-old Karla Herrara Her father Tiul Caal has been in Spokane for six years, and is her only family in the United States He has an immigration case set for 2027, a valid work permit, and a social security number CBP coerced him into bringing Karla in, then sent both to Texas

Super important story by @crampell.bsky.social at @thebulwark.com about the Trump administration's misuse of personal information:

The fascists then - the fascists in America today - targeting children. How can any cop, lawyer, judge, public official go along with the sadism being inflicted on innocent people?

Former Head of the British Army, General Lord Richard Dannatt, suggests Trump should resign: "The comments President Trump made are totally disrespectful, wrong and outrageous" "It does make you wonder whether actually he fit for the job he is doing"

Every time I see this stuff, I cannot help but think a lot of this is the "own the libs" attitude cops have been stewing in ever since there was a hint of a suggestion that they should not kill people.

The attempt to detain these defendants without bail is an embarrassment. The AUSAs advancing the argument should face professional and social annihilation appropriate to Gestapo stooges.

Oh, really! What a surprise!🙄 “A security officer assigned to protect Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer was placed on leave as officials investigate an alleged romantic relationship between them, two people with direct knowledge of the matter told Bloomberg Law.”

The proposal would combine Portland and Multnomah County into one government, following models used in Jacksonville, Indianapolis and Denver. It’s a pitch that’s failed before.

“We can still do the work to prevent them from carrying out all of Stephen Miller’s fantasies."

A massive general strike is happening in Minnesota right now, the largest in 70 years. They’re done being quiet. They’re done accepting violence and tyranny on their streets. Businesses, schools, churches & more have shut down and the people are protesting outside. Get ICE out of Minnesota!

As JD Vance goes to Minneapolis today to cheer on Homeland Security's terror campaign, I'm re-upping this recent thread about Vance's unfitness for office. Share it with family and friends if they ever say anything positive about this sociopath.

The least they could do is give her an orange turtleneck.

Starting to think that you could not get a grand jury to return anything in MN let alone have a jury find you guilty. Like your defense should just be “ahh they are not agents of the state as the routinely operate in direct contravention of the constitution they have no claim to be an officer”

Despite Japan bracing itself for the worst when Donald Trump was elected for a second term as U.S. president, the tumult generated in his first year back has exceeded even Tokyo's deepest fears. 👉 ebx.sh/cednfH

According to the New York Times, the US, Denmark, and NATO are negotiating a framework to grant the US limited sovereignty over parts of Greenland. The arrangement would resemble the UK’s base agreements on Cyprus, allowing US military construction and operations. #Greenland

@warren.senate.gov Do you not have a digital media assistant who could copy and paste this message on Bluesky that you first posted on the hellsite that promotes CSAM??

I really do not react well to bullying and never have. I am probably on some list now or can’t fly anymore. There was this guy just taking picture after picture of me. Can you imagine just going to a gas station and a gman is there just up in your face taking pictures of you to put in some database?

Pentagon has held 8 monthly worship services (with another coming today) & Labor Depart. has held 2 so far. Most of these services have been completely ignored by reporters (other than me). So I've created "Government Worship Watch" page to track these: publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/government...

In Davos, the world is watching an American president’s mind dissolve in real time.

This is a must-read from Jennifer

Last week it was Rollins and her “piece of chicken, piece of broccoli, corn tortilla, and one other thing.” Today Bessent says having “5, 10, 12 homes” is a totally normal retirement strategy. If these people were any more out of touch, they’d be orbiting the moon. Here’s an idea: TAX THE RICH.

We can build walls or we can be more ambitious — and build something better, stronger, and more just.

Beautiful, historic speech by our Prime Minister. It heralds the end of the post war order and, in the long term, the American empire. Its a serious, sad speech. But an essential one. paulwells.substack.com/p/the-carney...
