BREAKING Former ICE agent: On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant.

ICE tackles and arrests New Jersey father outside his home, leaving his 6-year-old first-grade daughter at home alone. She goes out looking for him. "I got my boots and changed my clothes. I wanted to find some help to find my dad..." www.ms.now/the-weekend-...

I wonder if that’s a women’s medium jersey.

Reports are now emerging from within the Dilley, Texas ICE Family Concentration Camp, which are referred to as “Blue Butterfly Zones.” These zones are where the camp’s young girls are being kept separated and isolated for unknown reasons.

If I were the Greenlanders, I'd check that hospital ship for Odysseus and his Greeks before letting it anywhere near shore, given that it's a weird creepy unnecessary oddly shaped "gift" no public reporting on what is happening in Greenland explains and Trump is Temu Agamemnon

This isn't a teaser—it's just an acknowledgment that the next PROOF report is taking a while and there's a good reason. The Epstein Scandal isn't primarily a sex scandal. You don't understand how powerful and well-connected this man was. This is a global scandal and it is scary.

She’s making it happen, y’all. @jasmineforus.bsky.social is activating non-voters just like she said she would. “55% of the people that showed up on day one don’t normally vote in a primary. In fact, 20% of those voters were first-time voters.” 💥

You are almost certainly not aware of the full extent of what the government is doing in Minneapolis, and what it portends for all of us if they succeed. lnk.thebulwark.com/46kVMuT

Let me show you a wardrobe you can build with $1,700 🧵

To be clear, I don't think you should treat this thread as a shopping list. Building a wardrobe requires careful thought and consideration. But for what the average household spent on tariffs last year alone, you could build a significant wardrobe — even items made in the USA.

SHOES Unfortunately, there are too many footwear options to cover and much depends on your climate and lifestyle. If you want something you can wear with tailoring and casualwear in a warmer climate, Meermin has Goodyear welted loafers for $230.

For accounting purposes, I will take the average of all these models and say you'll spend about $133 for a pair of casual pants. DRESS PANTS OK, so then what about slightly more formal pants? Start with mid-gray trousers made from wool, as these will go with any kind of tailored jacket.

The key is to get something with a full collar roll (no skimpy collars!). Once again, Spier & Mackay is a particularly strong value at $78. Move up to Proper Cloth ($125) if you want something custom-made (choose their Soft Ivy collar). For accounting, I'll do the $125 here.

OXFORD BUTTON-DOWN If you get a sport coat, you will naturally need some button-up shirts to wear with it. Oxford cloth button-downs in staple colors (white, light blue) are a versatile option you can wear with tailored jackets or casualwear.

Pritzker demands a $1,700 refund per family for the people of Illinois after Trump's tariffs were ruled unconstitutional. Dems, pay attention. This is your midterms message.

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics. "It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court. Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business. As well as everyone else who stepped up.

I just wanna let everyone know that the reason that the DOJ under Biden didn’t always do what we wanted was because it wasn’t an arm of the White House. It is supposed to be an independent entity. I hope the next time that it is, you remember today, when Trump put his face on the building.

More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes. Haven Watch lives by the promise, “No One Walks Alone.” Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted. Beautiful and devastating all at once.

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...

Ossoff: "If you live in a major democracy, and the nation's spy chief is showing up at raids on sensitive election sites, something has gone wrong."

UK: Prince Andrew arrested. South Korea: Former President Yoon sentenced for life. Brazil: Former President Bolsonaro serving a 27-year sentence. USA: President Trump demands $10 billion payout from taxpayers.

We must stop every single proposed concentration camp. www.kjzz.org/the-show/202...

It needs to be said clearly that it would be absolutely insane for the United States to start a war of aggression against Iran. If anyone thinks that Trump gives a rip about democracy or human rights you are kidding yourself. It’ll be another campaign of domination and plunder.

ICE is crushing Minneapolis economy. On the pod, Mayor Jacob Frey tallies up damage: $203 million overall $80 million small biz losses $5 million hotel cancellations 75K people food insecurity "Impact is staggering," Frey tells us. Bleeding city for being diverse: newrepublic.com/article/2066...

The Fox News chyron reads "Latest Dem hoax" at the same time that Brendan Carr confirms that yes, the FCC would've "enforced the law" and gone after CBS had Colbert aired his interview with Talarico on TV

If someone had told me ten years ago that in 2026, there could be evidence of the president raping and threatening to kill children, and he would *still* be allowed to stay in office, I would have politely asked them to put down the meth pipe.

NEW: ICE has raided dormitories at the Dilley concentration camp to confiscate letters from children per @pabloreports.bsky.social. I have filed a FOIA request for them. @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social: the second we get anything, we will send it to you. 1/ www.muellershewrote.com/p/new-ice-co...

“I am somebody” shaped how millions of us saw ourselves as kids, including me. That message mattered. It still does. Rest in power, Jesse Jackson 🙏🏽

i think jesse jackson was one of the most important american political figures of the post-war era and i think that his 1984 and 1988 campaigns for the democratic nomination still have a great deal to teach about forging a path to a more egalitarian world. RIP.

How is it possible that Kristi Noem still has this job. Imagine if you’re a family member or a shipmate of this guardsman. www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

Reuters: New Mexico lawmakers on Monday passed legislation to launch what they said was the first full investigation into what happened at Zorro Ranch, where the late U.S. sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is accused of trafficking and sexually assaulting girls and women.

There will be elections. This f*ckknuckle doesn’t have enough lead in his pencil to cancel them. They may be chaotic. They may be litigated within an inch of their lives. Courtrooms may stay lit through the night. But the polling stations will open. And they will see record numbers. Oh yes.

You can feel it. Hundreds of millions of people from around the world, are coming together in a more synchronized manner for the purpose of making sure those who committed Epstein crimes…are forced to watch with the world…as their names and companies are broadcast around the world. It’s coming.

Obama: "Ethically speaking, it's an atrocity in a country this wealthy we have people just on the streets, & we should insist on policies that recognize their full humanity. But we should also recognize the average person doesn't want to have to navigate around a tent city in the middle of downtown"

$4 BILLION — So corrupt. There is no debating this. Anyone who says otherwise is telling on themselves.

Those who are concerned and confused over Gallup ending their presidential approval polling after 88 years shouldn’t worry. It’ll certainly be magically resurrected when a Democrat wins the White House in 2028. A sudden change of heart on January 20th, 2029.

US had almost *no* job growth in 2025. Hiring numbers were revised down by over a million jobs. Largest annual revision in over 20 years. www.nbcnews.com/business/eco...

These are the oligarchs who seek to rule every aspect of our lives, and the current US regime is doing everything possible to facilitate that because it is owned by them.

We can't fall into right-wing populism’s lie that the most vulnerable in society are to blame for wealth inequality in our countries. We need to build movements that tell the truth: the story of wealth inequality is not a cultural one, but a class one.

It’s not enough to mention these people. TAG them. Make it harder for them to pretend the spot light isn’t dialed in to their own face.

What’s so weird about men in power is how when they face scandal and should step down the world acts like no one else can do their jobs. Bottstein, Wasserman, these aren’t irreplaceable men! Stop with this delusion.

This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the “baby jail” in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But it’s routine. And disgusting.

None of this is normal

So the United States will only use empty warehouses to house people it wants to terrorize, not people it wants to shelter from the cold. We really are not a very good-natured country.

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

Both twitter accounts at work here are paid for by taxpayers

Sanders: The American people do not want this country to be an authoritarian society or an oligarchy. We have our differences, that’s what democracy is about—we argue it out. We don’t throw people who disagree in jail. We don’t intimidate the media. We don’t send ICE agents to shoot people.
