We are deciding right now whether we want to be a country with ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.

Wow! What sounded like the entire AEW Dynamite audience in Las Vegas tonight chanted "Fuck ICE! Fuck ICE!" in unison before the main event

'“To call such people criminals for lacking official permission” to be in the country, he wrote, “is to forget the moral law of God, the historical truth of our own founding, and the Constitutional ideals that continue to define justice.”' www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

"And as you take note of each of the incidents I mentioned, you may realize that Trump can unlawfully influence an election without explicitly rigging the count. By deterring his enemies from coming to the polls, he can engineer the outcomes he seeks." www.nytimes.com/2026/02/01/o...

An amazing list of suggestions for what we all can do now, in our many different situations and capacities: radicalmoderatesguide.substack.com/p/where-we-g...

My first remarks since being arrested last night.

"Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice Singing through the bloody mist We’ll take our stand for this land And the stranger in our midst Here in our home they killed and roamed In the winter of ’26 We’ll remember the names of those who died On the streets of Minneapolis" youtu.be/GDaPdpwA4Iw?...

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.

"I don't know exactly how long this moral arch of the universe is, but never forget, you aren't the first to throw your shoulder into it, determined to see it bend towards justice." — Molly Conger open.spotify.com/episode/7krf...

The “if she had complied, she’d still be alive” line that we’re hearing from ICE defenders is the mantra of apologists for security forces in dictatorships through the ages.

So when authorities say “she tried to run over an officer,” that is not a neutral description. It is a claim of intent that can be used to justify lethal force after the fact. When the state kills first and invents the threat afterward, it is not policing, it is death squad behavior. /end

We aren’t protesting nearly enough.

Ex-Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura: “We’re a 3rd world country now. I know. I’ve been to ‘em. I spent 17 months in SE Asia while the draft dodger was playing golf… that’s what happens in a dictatorship. In comes the military. That’s what’s happening here.” 🇺🇸

An interesting piece by Danielle Allen: open.substack.com/pub/therenov...

Elon Musk appointed 19-year-old Edward “Big Balls” Coristine, the grandson of a KGB lieutenant colonel to DOGE. He was instrumental in cutting funding for the United States Agency for International Development, which directly resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of poor people overseas.

Can someone please respond to Stephen Miller with this message from Frank Sinatra?

This could wind up being the most-watched newsmagazine segment in television history!! Congratulations to the Ellisons and Bari Weiss!!!

CBS pulled the 60 Minutes CECOT segment, but Canada aired it anyway. The segment was streaming via Global TV and YouTube (since taken down). Having a VPN set to Canada helped. 🇨🇦 My take, there is no reason we shouldn’t see this. Most of it was known information, easily searchable. 1/5

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

Anonymous American Gestapo ICE agents chase a local flower shop owner into the woods to abduct them. Neighborhood bystanders follow them into the forest and film them, harass them, and shame them until they leave.

Newsom: Let’s stand up for the rule of law. Let’s stand up for a system of checks and balances. And let’s stand up for our democracy—for all of us.

Grew up with Schoolhouse Rock and maybe it should be revived again. No more kings.... www.youtube.com/watch?v=3R1t...

Thank you to the organizers of today's wildly successful (and peaceful) "No Kings" rallies. You did an amazing job. And thanks to all the millions of people who showed up to give us faith. And a special shout out to the White House regime and the Speaker of the House for all the free publicity!

Portland has fallen!

To be clear: LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government. The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency. This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Very important message.
