It is the Chinese year of the horse. It is the same for the russian army.

We went out to visit California City Detention Center and found a whole new fleet of vehicles waiting in the lot. @lataco.bsky.social

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.

Some academic papers show everyone how people are posting about the paper, using a tool called Altmetric. Here's the how our new paper reached folks on twitter vs. bluesky. No comparison. Twitter is gone gone. Deader than the Monroeville Mall in The Dawn of Dead. www.nature.com/articles/s43...

As Kash Patel actively covers up the murders of Minnesotans, the Minnesota Wild GM invites him into the USA locker room. Awful look.

they can pump cocaine into trump, but that only enhances his wetness. combine that with his advanced mortality syndrome, he's going to be bursting at the seams anyway, springing leaks everywhere. if he rounds hour two and heads for third, he's gonna pop like a jellyfish like the senator from x-men

"Plans for a proposed federal immigration detention facility in New Hampshire were scrapped by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem Tuesday after hundreds of protesters took to the streets over the weekend in protest." www.rawstory.com/ice-26753150...

this is an absolutely astonishing feat of independent journalism, top to bottom, and proves that the only way to truly fight billionaires is not being funded by them. just…read the whole thing.

"The U.S. federal judiciary on Tuesday asked Congress to give it the power to manage its own courthouses and shift authority away from the executive branch, saying decades of inadequate oversight exacerbated by recent actions by President Donald Trump's administration had left them in crisis."

No shit.

Former Omni flight attendants say this is par for the course. No response from Omni yet.

NEW FROM ME: The deportation plane stuck in the blizzard took off this morning after 31 hours, but not before exposing a much bigger problem with exceedingly long delays on ICE flights. With exclusive interviews and photos taken by local ICE flight watchers. gillianbrockell.ghost.io/ice-deportat...

If a Democrat told Americans to just eat something else because beef is too expensive, it would be on blast on MAGA media for years.

You can expect Trump to propose a bunch of stuff tonight and those proposals won't be worth your time to think about, it'll be vaporware just like this.

The Black Anti-Fascist Tradition Recognized Fascism Didn’t Begin in Europe

Hey, NYT! I fixed your headline. Do better next time.

Hundreds of judges around the country have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. But the Trump admin is not stopping their lawless immigration crackdown. Trump is a threat to the rule of law.

3 of the 5 Quakertown high school students arrested for anti-ICE walkout are free--after 4 days! Not sure about 2 others, who are accused of felony assault against the police chief--when it was the chief who actually attacked them, putting one girl in a chokehold! www.phillyburbs.com/story/news/2...

Utility prices have spiked under Trump. 6/

I no longer enumurate Trump’s lies What’s the point? Everything he says is shit

same in kansas. the magistrate judge who signed off on the police raid of the marion county record newspaper was similarly qualified. seems bad!

Two fun details: 1. In many PA counties, and I believe Berks is one, the initial bail decision is made JUST by the police (who are a party here) and a magistrate judge. That can hold for up to 2 weeks. 2. I just learned that magistrate judges need no legal education and get four weeks of training.

Kendzior was right. Demand justice for the victims.

Progressives aren’t so progressive now that I made up a thing they’re all saying

As the Twin Cities prepares for an upcoming week of action scheduled to take place from Feb. 25 through March 1, organizers with the group behind the initiative, “Melt the ICE,” shared some reflections and lessons on ICE resistance tactics with Unicorn Riot. Read in full at website-link to follow.

Fascists don’t need us to agree with them. They just need us to believe they can’t be stopped. Never forget that cynicism can quickly be contorted into complicity.

notably *at the time* it was treated as a big deal, and then the media decided it couldn't be because that would mean doing work.

Damn set on fire he's seriously unhinged

This is exactly when a film like this should drop. If we’re going to talk about manipulation and mass psychology, let’s do it before ballots are cast. #UnfitToo 👇🏼

New It Could Happen Here Robert and Karl Kasarda sit down to talk about ICE, concealed carry, and how the new era of aggressive immigration enforcement makes everyone less safe. @iwriteok.bsky.social @inrange.tv www.iheart.com/podcast/105-...

Trump: I am threatening an illegal war with Iran, covering up evidence I sexually assaulted a 13 year old, openly stealing from the Treasury, trying to ban critical media, steal the midterm elections, and kill American citizens who oppose me. Democrats: We must maintain strict decorum!

So here’s the piece I wrote about how Epstein didn’t corrupt the people he reaches out to, he found the already corrupted. newrepublic.com/article/2068...

Enough being quiet stand up to this ghoul

As Sotomayor explains in dissent, the majority today denies damages under the Federal Tort Claims Act to Americans who are denied mail service even on the basis of flagrant racial discrimination. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Not great especially in states with vote by mail. 🗳️📬

At a time when Black history is being removed from schools, museums, and parks, Black journalists are fighting to tell a more inclusive American story. This week on Reveal:

It couldn’t have happened to a more qualified officer.

Complicity within the judiciary

Reminder: For 313 days, three Trump-appointed judges have stopped Judge Boasberg from probing possible criminal contempt of his turn-the-planes-around order of last March—conduct implicating, among others, Secy Noem, Judge Bove, DAG Blanche, and, maybe, higher officials.

I have spoken to two people now who have told me that only part of their FBI interviews are in the released files, and the parts of their interviews that are missing include mentions of Trump. 1/

On the DSR Daily with @djrothkopf.bsky.social, we discuss reactions to the implementation of Trump’s new tariff, Democrats tapping Abigail Spanberger and Alex Padilla for the SOTU response, shocking texts from Rep. Tony Gonzalez, and more. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f... youtu.be/TTV8zEvx8nE

"Oversight Democrats can confirm that the DOJ appears to have illegally withheld FBI interviews with this survivor who accused President Trump of heinous crimes. Oversight Democrats will open a parallel investigation into this."

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."
