All I'm going to say is that the societal expectations that the eldest daughter takes care of the aging parents (& many of the other familial problems) absolutely fucking sucks.

Newly disclosed government files on Jeffrey Epstein illustrate how close they got to indicting the wealthy financier on federal sex crimes charges nearly two decades ago before scrapping a potential prosecution.

ROLLING STONE: “The damage from Miller’s grand designs are plain for all to see. Americans’ mistrust and hyper-partisanship has grown only more poisonous. The country feels like a tinder box and Miller, and ICE are running around with lit matches.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Jeffrey Epstein, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and Marc Andreessen share an enduring fascination with eugenics, race science, and transhumanism and there is an entire generation of public intellectuals who benefited and continue to benefit from their patronage. Pinker, Huberman, Attia, Weinstein, etc.

Bellingcat has also synced videos from today's killing bsky.app/profile/bell...

We all made this choice weeks ago, many rushed to the Renee Good scene, only to rush to another scene minutes away to fight 10-20 loaded up ICE trying to kidnap someone, and endless since. When people hear someone is shot or just single vehicle sighted, it is only more people going TO the danger.

Only speaking personally, but today’s execution isn’t scaring me from protecting our neighbors, as some suggest is ICE’s goal. Nor am I angry with incandescent rage, in that I know such rage is unhelpful. Rather, I feel like it has forced me to truly accept that the same fate might befall me.

“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

To repeat: Abolish ICE.

The way to reconcile this is their aspiration was always to put down a slave revolt, not fight in one. bsky.app/profile/osit...

We set out to determine how many images of women and girls Grok created during its nudifying spree. What we found was “industrial-scale abuse,” experts said. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/22/t...

One thing I apparently didn't learn in law school is that "checks and balances" means the Executive can issue a secret memorandum authorizing it to sign its own warrants to search people's homes and seize people and items within them. Gosh, who knew?

HHS has just announced that the U.S. has completed its withdrawal from the World Health Organization. Among the grievances cited as justification for the move, HHS complains that the WHO disfavors the COVID-19 lab leak conspiracy theory.

Spanberger dismissing Youngkin's education appointees was an important move. It will require actions that look partisan and political to restore nonpartisanship, competency and merit to government. (MAGA must be purged.) newrepublic.com/article/2054...

"Liam, age 5, was the fourth child in the district to be detained by immigration agents in the past two weeks, school officials said. "Two of them are high-schoolers. "One is a 10-year-old girl who was apprehended on her way to school..." www.nytimes.com/2026/01/22/u...

HEY CONGRESSMAN. THIS YOU?

Wow -- Fanone coughs "go fuck yourself" to Trey Nehls as Nehls blames Capitol Police leadership for January 6

I can't recall a time in my life when the Senate's Democratic leader was so embarrassing and pathetic.

We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done: A superpower is committing suicide because the GOP Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King. This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.

If you're a soldier in the 11th Airborne Division being ordered to prep for deployment to Minnesota or Greenland, remember that you have the right to apply for conscientious objector status. Call the GI Bill Rights hotline: 1-877-447-4487

January in Seattle this year. 🤪#wawx

Minneapolis/Saint Paul neighborhoods are everything that people pretend small towns are. The local library has a “block party kit” you can take out to shut down your block. You walk to your local stores & you know the barista’s name. Neighbors take care of each other

Europe may begin selling U.S. assets in response to a new conflict with the US—a move that could trigger a dollar collapse, Bloomberg reports. Deutsche Bank analysts warn Washington’s key vulnerability is living off global financing—and Europe may decide it no longer wants to bankroll the U.S.

Here's our story @taskandpurpose.com on NORAD going out of its way to stress aircraft heading to Greenland are on a routine mission. taskandpurpose.com/news/norad-g...

BREAKING — ChongLy Scott Thao's family has released a statement disputing DHS's outrageous justification for his arrest. "He does not live with, nor has he ever lived with, the individuals DHS claims were targets of this operation...[the family] does not know the individuals DHS references."

Nice!!

I can’t go to the grocery store alone right now because ICE is racially profiling and abducting people who aren’t white

Gestapo-ICE currently has multiple groups down in Renton, #Seattle. Silver Subarus, silver Hyundais, black Dodges with no front plates.

Tim and I are demoralized by Trump’s progress in destroying the liberal order and liberal democracy at home. We’re infuriated by the collaboration of the Republican Party, and of elites in general. Yet Martin Luther King Jr. reminds us—we shall overcome…someday. www.thebulwark.com/p/bill-krist...

Dr. Gladys West, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has died. She was 95.

"the most widely accepted definition of the working class" !!!! wow my eyes just bulged out of my head lol and on MLK Day? right in front of my March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom?

Kinda funny that Trump thinks "asylum" means other countries send people from insane asylums, and a) this is real life, not a ham-handed Idiocracy-type satire, b) he has surely been corrected several times but is incapable of updating his priors, & c) most media politely agree not to mention it.

“You know, I’m a Marine Corps veteran.” “I don’t care what you are.”

Mocking a disabled reporter should have been the last straw, but yeah. This too.

The Hmong have been in the Twin Cities since the late 1970’s. They came as refugees fleeing from communism after having HELPED the CIA and our troops during the Vietnam war. Most of them are now US Citizens and were born here. Why the hell are they ICE targets ?

ICE is allegedly hunting for Hmong people in Minneapolis and as I watched video of the incident lo and behold @whstancil.bsky.social was on the scene

Just so everyone understands, this was a Republican op

A 10-month-old Portland boy remains sick with infant botulism after drinking contaminated ByHeart formula donated through a program that helps poor and homeless families. Numerous lawsuits have been filed on behalf of families with babies sickened by the ByHeart products.

ICE agents at a hotel in St. Paul woke up this morning to news that they’re getting kicked out of their hotel today at noon.

The first thing Virginia Spanberger did after being sworn in as Governor of Virginia was repeal Youngkin’s executive order requiring state and local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE. This is the kind of leadership Democratic governors nationwide should be emulating.

NEW: Trump pardon of former Puerto Rico governor failed to include a relevant criminal case www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

A big part of the current right wing belief system is that everyone is actually just as bigoted as they are, and are only pretending not to be as a public performance ("virtue signalling"). They genuinely thought once they started doing open racism, everyone would join in
