Victims have told us the worst of Epstein’s crimes for decades – and they are still being ignored theconversation.com/victims-have...

Ten countries have launched investigations related to the released Epstein files. Norway, UK, France, Lithuania, Latvia, Sweden, Australia, North Macedinia, Turkey, Poland. Conspicuously absent is the United States, the epicenter of this scandal. We know why. …

🚨Status Coup News just ended their Livestream in Minneapolis. They said that the ICE raids have NOT slowed down at all. They are documenting them daily. We cannot listen to Tom Homan when he feeds us the illusion that they are stepping back at all. We must keep the pressure HIGH on ICE. #FUCKICE

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The regime in the USA is echoing some history, backwards, trying to make sure it wins every election. But it hasn't fared well with elections over the past year. Did you see that vote swing in Texas? How did that happen? open.substack.com/pub/bonniehu...

Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), chairman of Senate Banking, said that he wasn’t aware of any statement Powell had made during testimony last year that would be evidence of perjury. That is significant because Scott chaired that hearing and sparked the line of questioning at the center of the probe.

This is a big deal. No matter how many awful things come out of this White House, you can organize your community to fight back against tyranny. We must also continue to boycott ICE's corporate collaborators like Amazon, AT&T, and any other company trying to profit off this misery.

Sitting U.S. senators don't make letters such as this one public unless they feel a paper trail is needed to inform the public. Not great. Really not great. h/t Sahil Kapur

Heads are going to explode 💥 Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third. All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit. 1/3

Fulton County officials asked a federal court to return 2020 election ballots that the FBI seized last week. The county is also requesting that the court unseal the affidavit the administration used to obtain approval for the search.

NEW: since last year, a pair of "highly trained" feds have been involved in an array of incidents attacking crowds with chemical weapons. We used public records and open source analysis to identify Edgar Vazquez and Michael Sveum, alongside some other members of their tactical team. Read more:

JUST IN: SCOTUS declines to take up challenge to Gov. Newsom's redistricting effort in California.

Bezos is gutting The Washington Post, a move that signifies a strike against information and freedom of the press. If you can boycott Amazon, please do. The billionaire class only cares about money and power. Do not support them in any way. Shop elsewhere. Support local small businesses.

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

NEW: A rupture between DOJ and ICE has emerged in Minnesota, where overwhelmed prosecutors keep dropping the ball — and saying ICE won't return their messages. The crisis has had real-world consequences for migrants illegally detained w/ @joshgerstein.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

For those keeping score at home:

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

A Nobel Peace Prize nomination for Minneapolis is really a recognition of people power and it’s the first time a whole city has been put forward for the prize.

This research paper is the first time that a tipping point of a switch from a carbon sink to a carbon emission source in tropical rainforests has been identified clearly – not just for one year but for the last 20 years. Cause is a change in the local climate. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

NEW: The DHS arrest records make no mention of the Tren de Aragua gang even though officials repeatedly cited its presence in the building as motivation for the raid, in which agents descended from a Blackhawk helicopter and zip-tied U.S. citizens.

I feel better now that Artemis II, NASA’s planned flight to the moon & back to verify the new spacecraft can handle the trip before resuming moon landings, has been postponed. Why? Because of concern NASA may be pressured to rush. NASA is doing the right thing. open.substack.com/pub/bonniehu...

Expect the regime in the USA to escalate wildly, with changing tactics, as it becomes more frantic about cementing itself in power and Resistance continues to be incomprehensible to it. Also expect continuing ripple effects abroad. open.substack.com/pub/bonniehu...

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here. (clip via MPR and @davidjbier.bsky.social on X)

Buttigieg on Fox News: "When you see an American woman opening the door to her home and on her doorstep finds half a dozen federal agents in tactical gear that is more tricked out than what I would take outside the wire in Afghanistan -- I think most people get that that is wrong."

Do you get it now?

I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.

"The largest immigrant deportation and prison contractors in the US are expecting an epic payout this year: for every $1 that they donated to GOP campaigns in 2024, these private companies stand to reap more than $11,000 in increased annual revenue."

Downtown Minneapolis today! ✊

Most of this country sees it, the entire rest of the world sees it; but MAGA is still clueless.

CNN in Minneapolis: We are seeing thousands and thousands of people, we've been standing on the corner here for the past ten minutes. This this crowd has not let up. It's just continuous.

There’s no justification for shooting someone ten times in the back. There’s no justification for shooting someone ten times in the back. The debate about what Alex Pretti did or didn’t do is irrelevant. The agents committed murder. It wasn’t a “bad shoot”. It was a killing

The Trump regime is straight-up arresting journalists now. I will have more words in a second (thank goodness I didn’t skip boxing today), but THIS is what we meant when we said democracy is in danger.

A general strike and protest are planned for Friday after violent incidents this month in Minneapolis, where two American citizens were killed by federal agents. www.ebar.com/story/162646/

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

Don was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles.

Alert: Twin Cities reporter Georgia Fort was taken into custody.

"They had the professional demeanor of criminals". This should be said every time ICE is mentioned.

The Pattison sale to ICE isn't a done deal yet. Keep up the pressure. #bcpoli #cdnpoli #fuckice vancouversun.com/news/jim-pat...

No arrests of the ICE thugs who murdered Alex Pretti, Renee Good, or Keith Porter. No arrests of anyone in the Epstein Files. But they arrested Don Lemon because of his journalism.

This is how authoritarian narratives work you smear the victim, praise the armed agent, and ignore the killing. No video justifies an execution. No insult erases due process. This is propaganda, not accountability.

The arrests of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lundy are unacceptable and a clear violation of the Constitution. This is a dangerous abuse of power that threatens the rights of every single American. They must be released immediately.
