Having just ended print, the AJC lays off ~25 from newsroom. They reassure us they’re super focused on customer experience & editorial content like business, high school sports, politics & food, with more video & new Athens, Macon & Savannah bureaus. News? Atlanta? Yay? www.ajc.com/business/202...

SEN. @hickenlooper.senate.gov : “Death cards left behind by ICE agents — cards with white supremacist history left in detained immigrants' abandoned cars… Imagine finding your brother's empty car with one of these in the driver's seat. Cruelty for the sake of cruelty." (H/T @lulacorg.bsky.social )

I feel like I need to keep reminding everyone that Donald Trump first nominated a known child sex offender to be Attorney General because that's who he wanted handling the Epstein files.

It’s against Georgia state law to release voter info– SSN #, Birth Date, Driver’s License #– and a judge already told DOJ. Tulsi Gabbard & FBI broke state law. Pam Bondi & DOJ knew it. "Fed. judge tosses DOJ lawsuit seeking Georgia voter rolls" • Georgia Recorder georgiarecorder.com/2026/01/23/f...

ICE detention center calls 911. Operator tells Stewart Detention Center the ambulance is busy. “It’s already out — on the last patient y’all called us with” “…get one from another county?” ICE calls Lumpkin County Georgia 911 over 15 times a month since March 2024. theintercept.com/2025/12/12/s...

Republicans in Alabama may transfer their Driver’s License & Register to vote out of state, but that doesn’t mean you’re living out of state. (Post-Trump, neither insurance fraud nor election fraud are disqualifying factors for Republicans nationwide.) www.al.com/politics/202...

Tell me no decent performers are willing to play the previously revered national facility you renamed for yourself without telling me you’re wasting more taxpayer dollars on vanity. "Trump Says Kennedy Center Will Close for Two Years for Renovations" - WSJ www.wsj.com/politics/ele...

That may be the first accurate thing Kristi Noem has ever said, because not a day has gone by without my hearing about her and the lawless departments she oversees.

This article is a very good example of why "more training" and "more vetting" isn't the answer. Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez joined Border Patrol in 2018 and 2014 respectively. These aren't new agents. www.propublica.org/article/alex...

Quite the contrast: In one part of the Epstein files, DOJ published unredacted nude images of women and potentially minors. In another part, officials redacted President Trump’s face from a news image that was shared in a text exchange. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/01/u...

So… a bribe? Trump got $500 Million and U.A.E. got “tightly guarded” A.I. chips. How is this not a bribe, exactly? www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

In @TheAtlantic’s review of the ‘Melania’ Bribe-Umentary @sophiegilbert.bsky.social says Melania’s inauguration gown “looks unavoidably like the redacted Epstein files”😬 www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026...

The Government may shut down, countless people may not get pay, but if Sen Lindsey Graham & 7 other Republican Senators save their ability to sue DOJ for MILLIONS over 1 day’s phone records - not tapped calls, just that A called B & when - it’s obviously worth it. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

The kicker is- Tomorrow’s U.S. Attorneys are today’s x moppets.

Our 2026 Kennedy Center: Millennium Stage shows advance reservations are available… but don’t actually reserve anything. Patrons are encouraged to arrive early - seats are First Come/First Served. But it’s OK! Performance day tickets are given away at the Box Office at 4:30pm. - 1st Come/1st Served

DHS get you too, MAGA. The deep state stops & scans you, identifies you on the street with facial recognition, traces movements via license-plate readers, uses phone-location data to reconstruct daily routines & associations, watching with drones. Legal US citizens too. apnews.com/article/digi...

It would be a kindness if someone told Trump what most of us think - nothing anyone in his administration says is ever true. We’d never believe ICE! WE KNOW DHS LIES. Trump Wants ICE To ‘Start Talking’ About The ‘Murderers & Other Criminals’ He Says It Deports - forbes www.forbes.com/sites/sarado...

“What was Tulsi doing at an election center in Georgia?” TRUMP: “She's working very hard on trying to keep the election safe, they got into the votes, you’re going to see some interesting things” Translation: he’ll say 2020 was stolen and use it as an excuse to steal 2026

Nailed it

This make you uncomfortable? Good! Because this isn’t history, it’s reality and what ICE has normalized.

This is a cover up of a murder, led by our own federal government.

The cruelty is big business

MAGA ⁦‪FFC Chair Brendan Carr says “the rise of cable channels & other distribution means that it doesn't make sense anymore to have unique broadcast rules” is wrong. Congress said it’s exactly why they cut public broadcasting PBS/NPR funding. #HYPOCRISY www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politic...

Not Minneapolis, Minnesota. Not more people being murdered on the street. Still Kristi Noem, though. Still DHS. Still POTUS Donald Trump. FEMA moves forward with firing thousands working in areas still recovering from disasters : NPR www.npr.org/2026/01/16/n...

Pam Bondi’s on the ground in Minneapolis today, huh. Guess ICE and CBP thought she was someone doing an actual job or raising her children. (She’s certainly not doing anything about the Minnesotans murdered by Greg Bovino & Kristi Noem.)

“I watched him die… then I watched them maneuver his body like a rag doll— only to discover it was because they wanted to count the bullet wounds and see how many they ‘got’, like he was a deer.”

In Minneapolis, far-right influencers posing as journalists are casting themselves as victims and labeling ICE-watch groups “terrorists.” Their big new evidence—“infiltrated” Signal chats—isn’t a secret, had no calls for violence and urged people to witness, not interfere. www.ms.now/news/minneap...

More TikTok shenanigans — users are reporting the word “Epstein” won’t go through in Direct messages 🤔

The man remains hospitalized as his wife questions why ICE was pursuing him.

Maddow: "If you were one of millions of Americans who protested ICE out of Minneapolis, you should know, tonight you are winning this thing."

This March 1965 Herblock cartoon about police violence against civil rights activists has added relevance today.

REAL US law enforcement officers who shoot someone much less kill them are typically suspended with pay until cleared by an outside agency’s investigation. CBP ‘agents’ killed Alex Pretti. They’re still going. They’ll never really be investigated. ICE MURDERS PEOPLE. www.huffpost.com/entry/agents...

I'm sure this will improve morale at CBS News.

In a sane 2026 we’d have an Attorney General & Department of Justice investigating & prosecuting criminals. In our 2026 though we have an Attorney General & DOJ dedicated to protecting one man’s criminal acts, pedophile friends, & his richest donors, with an FBI playing security guards & chauffeurs.

Funny, really. I’ve come across an occasional article but had no idea what ‘the Free Press’ is, just some old associations. Only after slogging thru this incredibly pretentious, self righteous, holier than thou, ‘I know better than you idiots’ review did I finally look. Bari Weiss? TOTALLY tracks.

Desperate to look good to his xenophobic Constituency, Rep. Buddy Carter abandons reality & claims immigrants came to Georgia because of our very Republican state’s socialism? So Atlanta’s unsafe? Dude! Carpet Factories, Farms, & Chicken Processing are why, not Atlanta. www.ajc.com/opinion/2026...

RFK Jr. appointee Kirk Milhoan has just clearly stated, out loud, that he wants to experiment on the people of the United States by seeing what happens as vaccination coverage plummets and infectious diseases spread.

It hasn’t been anywhere near long enough to pretend Monsanto’s Glyphosate isn’t killing people, hasn’t resulted in an entire industry around treating non-Hodgkin lymphoma, that burying their name behind Bayer means anything other than they know their Roundup sickened or killed hundreds of thousands

How it started: 8th circuit removed restrictions on ICE using pepper spray etc. against peaceful protestors How it’s going: 3 goons hold a man down, another pepper sprays him in the face— as Bovino uses green chemical gas for no reason with kids around

Like most from DHS, “border tsar” Tom Homan’s lying. ICE enforces immigration (civil), NOT criminal, law ICE AGENTS don’t have general policing powers ICE can NOT break into or search private property without a SEARCH warrant NO law requires Americans to carry ID www.reuters.com/world/us/ice...

I try to avoid hyperbole when it comes to Trump policies, but this is absolutely frickin’ insane—on about eleventy different levels. Massive, systemic Fourth Amendment violations because … reasons.

“Under the FCC’s equal time rule, stations must offer comparable time and placement to rival candidates regardless of political affiliation” Not perceived OPINIONS. CANDIDATES.

In but one year the United States has gone from Leader of the Free World all the way down into the gutter as Just Another Russian Asset Serving Putin.

PSA: When Trump brags about how much money tariffs are bringing in, he’s bragging about taxing regular folks and taking more of your money. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

they shut off the pool camera? what is happening
