Incredible reporting here..... Musk should be shunned, forever, by civilized and decent people here and around the world. Deeply sick and evil man. Truly. Bond villain stuff.

#WolffBites: The biggest threat to US capitalism is this inequality: 20% richest do 59% of total consumer spending that keeps economy going, but poorest 80% do only 41% of spending. Capitalism keeps producing the inequality that destroys it.

Grok AI generated about 3m sexualised images earlier this month, including 23,000 that appear to depict children, according to researchers who said it “became an industrial scale machine for the production of sexual abuse material”. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

I know people keep saying this but it’s hard to communicate the depth of active resistance here. Like, I’m on random cafes and people are checking in for observation shifts. Signs everywhere. Folks in visibility vests on the corners. It’s wild. Absolutely wild.

We don't have to live like this

They have counterintelligence people doing fucking immigration enforcement

Kash and Trump’s deep state

"I’ve looked at mass civilian detention around the world... I’ve talked to the people involved—those detained and tortured, those who supported camps, and those who stood idly by... My goal today is to warn you that the U.S. has already been seized by the same camp dynamic." Here's the post.

The correct response to Dachau was not better training for the guards. In this week's Next Comes What, Andrea Pitzer digs into concentration camp history to talk about what 'Abolish ICE' should mean.

Important to know that Armstrong is a reverend and that she and the protesters felt compelled by faith as well their commitment to civil rights. This is the state choosing which Christians they will support and which part of the 1A they will defend. Christian nationalism in action.

Trump's *left* hand -- not the one that is usually disfigured -- now has a large bruise and is discolored These pictures are from today in Davos and are via Chip Somodevilla (Getty) and Fabrice Coffrini (AFP)

Jack Smith: "Trump was charged bc the evidence established he willfully broke the law -- the very laws he took an oath to uphold... After leaving office, Trump illegally kept classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago social club... highly sensitive natl security info was held in a ballroom & bathroom."

It is literally the Republican position that this is unacceptable in a federal employee.

Trump is building an army loyal to him alone, and paying them up to $250k/year. If you can’t see ICE for what it is yet, then you’re not going to until it’s too late.

A lot of Americans like fascism and Clinton, Obama, and Harris were pilloried for actually saying versions of this

Trump is the first pro-measles administration this country has ever had.

UN warns of 'catastrophic' hunger crisis in Nigeria as food aid funding runs out

Krugman is on the nose again. Mark Carney is a serious person, Donald Trump is a demented egotistical jerk paulkrugman.substack.com/p/courageous-c

Allowing swing-district Democrats to vote for DHS funding so as not to look "anti-law enforcement" feeds into the false narrative that ICE is enforcing laws rather than breaking them. It is an organized crime syndicate. prospect.org/2026/01/21/j...

The fugitive known as “Bitcoin Jesus” was indicted for tax evasion and facing prison. Then he hired a “Friend of Trump.” This is how it went down, from Avi Asher-Schapiro & @mtredden.bsky.social www.propublica.org/article/bitc...

@petedominick.bsky.social ICYMI, this thread:

"Stop calling ICE the Gestapo! ICE is nothing like the Gestapo. Now, let me innumerate all the many ways ICE is exactly like the Gestapo. Thank you for your attention to this matter."

A lot of people are ignoring the racism even when they criticize Trump, and it’s noticeable

"What's being negotiated now is what we already had. And all it cost us was our global position and decades of alliances"

The order was unsigned but the Eighth Circuit has four Trump judges, five GW Bush judges, one GHW Bush judge, and a single Obama judge. The Fed Soc judge selections really started corrupting the judiciary under Bush II, so… that’s a very corrupt court.

”European governments have reached a difficult conclusion: The Americans are the baddies now.”

Simon is right. This is one of many ways in which mainstream US media enables dictatorship and demonstrates its indifference to the Constitution and Rule of Law.

The US is due to officially exit the World Health Organization on January 22, in the face of warnings it will hit both US health and global health and also in violation of a US law that requires Washington to pay the UN health agency $260 million in fees that it owes (Reuters)

“The past was alterable. The past never had been altered. America was at war with Iceland. America had always been at war with Iceland.” --updated George Orwell

This is almost "shadow docket" level manufactured and unexplained nonsense. Trial courts find facts, and they are not supposed to be blithely set aside with a pile of a couple of words of nothing from appellate courts.

Ben Luhmann, who filmed this, is one of the two high schoolers from a conservative Christian family I rode along with in Chicago when they were searching for ICE agents there. When I asked him how his faith informed his efforts to document ICE/DHS, he told me this. religionnews.com/2025/11/25/h...

I do not understand why Dems (or someone) are not broadcasting wall to wall montages of ICE thugs abusing our neighbors, abducting children, terrorizing US citizens, invading homes w no warrant, or murdering mothers. This should be a massive exercise in ISSUE SALIENCE driven by Dem elites.

The Holocaust started small

Tyler O'Ryan Gramlin, 32, of Borden, IN is a Border Patrol Agent who has traveled from state to state committing extreme violence. On Jan 21, 2026 Gramlin emptied a can of pepper spray directly in the face of a prone protester at point-blank range in Minneapolis #MPLS #OneOfOursAllOfYours #UnmaskICE

Yo, Philly journalist here. Literally the only sourcing on this is tweets from well-meaning left-leaning folks who’d be the LAST people on earth to have inside info from ICE Not a serious article www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

If this was a functioning democracy, Trump would be in prison right now.

ICE is writing secret memos claiming power to invade homes without warrants. They're using children as bait. They're killing. Congressional Democrats are about to vote to increase their budget by $18 billion. Call your House rep tonight. The vote may come tomorrow. www.patreon.com/posts/148814...

One court decision, two different headlines. Guardian on the left, NY Times on the right. Which one more directly conveys information and the stakes to the reader?

I remember that many people warned about the dangers of putting the most ethically deranged person on earth in the most powerful governing position in the world and to do so without any meaningful legal constraints or realistic accountability mechanisms -- and they were dismissed as "hysterical."

NEW: "Mitchell and EIN are hoping to change the dynamic of the 2026 midterms by pressuring state and local election officials to only allow voting to take place in small neighborhood precincts, rather than the vote centers." www.democracydocket.com/analysis/vot...

And will anyone in the media ask speaker Johnson why he ran cover for this?

The testimony will be broadcast or streamed on multiple platforms. "Jack Smith will appear before the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday, Jan. 22. The hearing is set to begin at 10 a.m. EST." www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

This is who federal agents are ripping out of their communities and shipping across the country. This is the danger we're being protected from.

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis. Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

I’ve stared at this sentence for a full minute and I still don’t get it. “The Trump administration is searching for Cuban government insiders who can help cut a deal to push out the Communist regime by the end of the year, people familiar with the matter said.” www.wsj.com/world/americ...

"Last year, 32 people died in ICE custody, exceeding any yearly total since 2004—including the pandemic years. ProPublica found that at least 170 American citizens have been caught in ICE dragnets and spent time in detention."
