Y'all need to pay attention to what's happening in Europe. They're not messing around. The Epstein scandal is causing heads to roll. In America, eh, not so much. I wonder why. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/08/w...

just a reminder that the united states is essentially operating a network of torture camps holding individuals in arbitrary detention, without access to appeal and rarely to counsel.

6 February 1943 | A transport of 2,000 Jews deported from the ghetto in Białystok arrived at #Auschwitz. After the arrival selection made by SS doctors, 85 men and 47 women were registered in the camp. The remaining 1,868 people were murdered in gas chambers.

Massive attack on Ukraine tonight.

Every accusation is a confession.

This is a long and deeply uncomfortable thread and everyone needs to read all of it. Really, please - I know it's easy to be overwhelmed by horror and decide that's enough for today, but this is one we don't get to skip.

To be clear, we were thousands of regular folks at an entirely non-violent march that passed by the ICE building. They let loose chemical agents on families with little children. Elderly in wheelchairs. For no reason. The cruelty was the point. Attempting to provoke a riot was the point.

25,000 tonnes of waste has been dumped next to homes and a primary school. The stench has forced local resident Nicha’s autistic son to leave the family home 💔 The landowner? King Charles. This has to get sorted, now.

Around 3 MILLION sexualized images over just 11 days? That's what our findings estimate X's Grok AI generated. X & Grok must implement systematic changes to protect children from abuse and exploitation. Join us in holding them accountable. More in Politico 👇

"Time to drop a really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files." -- Elon Musk Guess who else is in the Epstein files, Elon.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Kansas just passed a monstrous bill enabling criminal penalties and vigilante lawsuits for trans people using the bathroom according to their gender identity and requires them to surrender their current drivers licenses and birth certificates if it does not match their sex assigned at birth.

Once again, Surrender Dems have massive support from their base (and a majority of Americans!) to take big courageous steps in the right direction, and once again they fumble epically. They want us to accept so little. So much less than we need This paltry ask is unstrategic as well as unethical.

🎯🎯🎯🎯

This administration is cooked. Literally no one is scared of them.

@parkroseperma.bsky.social Pillars of support - the left here is making progress using Trump as cautionary tale and pointing out the links between him (and Putin) and our own fascist elements. He's such a toxic ally that his own foreign support base is floundering and distancing themselves.

Renee Good was shot 3 times by ICE The first two shots were non lethal. One to her left forearm & another to right breast The final shot entered the left side of her head & exited the right side He didn’t have to keep shooting. He was out of the vehicle’s path before the kill shot That’s murder

A real shame if this photo went viral again today.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

Not enough people recognise that AI boosters are literally the same people as the NFT bozos who lied and failed to do anything relevant for years. They’ve just convinced a few more people their nonsense had any value this time, including governments.

‘F**king Bitch’: Watch What ICE Agent Said Right After Renee Nicole Good’s Murder in Minneapolis BREAKING: New cell phone footage shows the moment when an ICE agent murdered a 37-year-old mother in Minnesota. Viewer discretion is advised: zeteo.com/p/ice-renee-...

I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

Just seen Grok putting the body of the victim of the ICE shooting in Minneapolis into a bikini. Digital corpse desecration now available to the public.

Elon Musk chatbot repeatedly making CSAM on demand should be one of the single biggest stories right now and it's effectively a collective shrug instead

Cunk spittin Christmas cheer

🚨 BREAKING: Our BBC is under attack. Donald Trump has just filed a $10 billion lawsuit against our public broadcaster. 𝗦𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗘 to tell our BBC: don’t give in to his bullying!

Amu Gib is extremely frail For 10 days the prison refused to acknowledge she was on hunger strike Another prisoner, Qesser (20), has dangerously low BP + high heart rate, blocked from hospital care They're political prisoners held without trial They must be bailed and proper medical treatment 🇵🇸

‘Genocide is not over,’ Amnesty leader says as Israel keeps bombing Gaza

This is the most alarming story I’ve read today. Giving up the fight before it’s started

NEW: It’s takes a moment for this to really sink in. Guardian reporting that key parts of Trump’s peace plan was drafted IN RUSSIAN first.

If you're trying to convince your friends to spend time on Bluesky rather than X, maybe show them this. X is not "the public town square" or about "free speech." It's "just what Elon Musk wants you to see." If you see stuff he doesn't like he'll step in to make sure you don't see it for long.

Why are billionaires scared of fairness?

BBC News: "the government believe refugees are deliberately bringing their children to avoid deportation" As opposed to doing what with their children??

@georgetakei.bsky.social @jerilryan.bsky.social @erininthemorning.com @maddow.bsky.social @katmabu.bsky.social I follow all of you because you try to highlight people who are being wronged and ignored. This woman seems to have been wronged and is certainly being ignored so I thought I'd pass it on.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

@parkroseperma.bsky.social A day brightener, if you hadn't seen it.

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

A viral online video, which claims to show "Ukrainian soldiers" threaten to kill Charlie Kirk's wife Erika Kirk, is fake. Not only do the "soldiers" in the clip speak Ukrainian with a notably strong Russian accent, but it has hallmarks of a Russian disinformation campaign known as Storm-1516.

Kier Starmer is complicit in genocide. No longer considered a radical opinion, simply a fact as per the United Nations. First he needs to be officially removed from no 10. Then ideally off to The Hague.

Kushner looks shook. It would be funny if it what they’re doing in Gaza wasn’t so deeply appalling. P.s., I have yet to *ever* hear Jared Kushner’s voice. P.p.s., let us remember Kushner’s father is a close personal friend of Netanyahu.

I have never been more embarrassed to be in Kent. This is a Council meeting. It sounds more like the most obnoxious table in the cheapest pub.

@katymontgomerie.com Thought this would be of interest. Some good news in a crappy situation. (Pun absolutely intended)

After all these years, & a politics degree, & decades trying to teach it, & about 3 million mistily-grasped texts, I’ve finally accepted that it’s a 10 word phrase from a superhero movie that most precisely expresses my political beliefs: “I don’t like bullies. I don’t care where they’re from.”

As Argentina’s economy starts to rapidly unravel, let’s never forget the comments by our own politicians. Ta.
