Good follow up story from NBC 10 last night. They interviewed an undocumented man who says he is the person ICE was pursuing the day when elementary school kids were seen running from ICE. The station interviewed his young son too. @nbcphiladelphia.com

There are far more voters than ICE agents. People should plan to stay at their polling place all day. Make it a party. Meet your neighbors. Talk politics. Gather food trucks. Make it a safe place for voters who are nervous. ICE agents always back off when they are outnumbered.

Kristi Noem: "When it gets to Election Day, we've been proactive to make sure we have the right people voting, electing the right leaders to lead this country."

Worth noting: literally any US born politician could get some of that Mamdani glow by siding with people over billionaires every single time. Just love your neighbors more than money and fight for them relentlessly! (And have years of coalition building and great communication skills, etc.)

I'm not going to even touch other parts of the sentencing or lackthereof, but even from an anticarceral perspective, this person should not be driving.

Even if the judge has mercy bc he thinks confusion related to age could've played a role...all the more reason to take away the license!

Not taking away the driver's license of someone permanently who annihlated an entire family is...I have no words. In a city like SF too where the perpetrator could take public transit. www.sfchronicle.com/crime/articl...

Is your 401(k) invested in #CXW, which warehouses human beings for profit? Here are the 10 funds with the most shares—and, more importantly, the 11 with the largest CXW % allocation. (See how CXW is ~0% of the Vanguard Total Mkt fund, though it has the No. 2 stake—because that fund is so massive.)

I really don't think most people in the US have any inkling how much things have deteriorated for trans ppl in the UK. I have a friend who was suggesting my daughter study in london and I was like, uhhhh...I don't think that would be a great idea.

Hi attorneys! Want to not be able to get to sleep tonight? Here's Judge Rakoff (probably the single most well-respected judge in SDNY) saying that the use of AI destroys both attorney-client privilege and work-product privilege.

New poll: In 2024, low-engagement voters went for Trump over Harris by 11 percentage points. But now they disapprove of the way he's handling the presidency by 13. They have moved 25 points against Trump — 2x as large as the shift for high-knowledge voters www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trump-lost...

Trump shutting down that huge Michigan-Canada bridge project to help a billionaire buddy at the expense of everyday Michiganders in a year where there will be close races for Governor, Senate, 4 House seats and control of the State Legislature? That’s a choice. www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

The details of the Kristi Noem blanket incident are just fucking perfect

🚨 BREAKING: In a big win for voters, the Virginia Supreme Court said the state could hold a special election on Democratic lawmakers’ redistricting plan aimed at countering Trump’s GOP gerrymanders nationwide. Virginians will get the chance to vote on the measure on April 21.

Ryan & Terry Anderson encountered a HUGE backlash, from labor, civic, religious & immigrant communities. One of the major funding entities (capable of negotiating TIFFs for businesses), severed relationships with the corporation. That doesn’t mean we’re done with ICE just that this building is out.

you're doing amazing everybody ❤️

Facebook plans to put facial recognition in its glasses and they think we’re too stupid to fight back. Their internal memo: “We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.”

cool, cool. so we are sort of like citizens, but not really?

These are efforts to make cures for multiple sclerosis, herpes — affects hundreds of millions in the US alone! — and shingles. This is mindblowing, amazing stuff. But these efforts for cures require a predictable regulatory environment, where decisions are made based on science & and pub health.

In terms of what cures are being lost: - Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis - herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis - shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

anything you don't already know well. I'm just so angry and heartsick at how many people they've killed because of this country's horrific attitude toward migrants.) /2

During Trump 1 they try to convict AZ activists for "harboring" for leaving water and supplies in the desert for migrants. BP agents destroyed water supplies. They have been killing people for years and they're delighted to escalate their behavior. There is no reforming this. (Not that I'm saying 1/

“.. Noem and Lewandowski frequently berate senior level staff, give polygraph tests to employees they don’t trust and have fired employees—in one incident, Lewandowski fired a U.S. Coast Guard pilot after Noem’s blanket was left behind on a plane ..” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

It would be embarrassing under any circumstances to spend a year on this reactionary horseshit, but to have spent the year in which graduate students were sent to concentration camps for op-eds and the federal govt launched a no hold barred attack on academic freedom is just beyond

I wish that the news were just wholesome stuff like this all day

random reminder that Brett Kavanaugh was accused of rape by multiple women and Clarence Thomas was accused of sexual harassment by multiple women. Neither is in the epstein files afaik, but it seems like sexual violence against women should matter even so. 1

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

I can't even THINK about this without crying uncontrollably. Do not watch the video if you're in any sort of state, it will destroy you. If anyone knows of any sort of fundraiser for this beautiful woman please point me to it so I can boost it. We need to be better humans than this.

“…in one incident, Lewandowski fired a U.S. Coast Guard pilot after Noem's blanket was left behind on a plane, according to people familiar with the incident.”

O’Neil Burke was pointedly absent from the coalition of prosecutors who announced they’d start talks on how to prosecute ICE.

The Justice Department is demanding full voter rolls from states — including private info like driver’s license numbers — and suing those that refuse. Former DOJ attorney Eileen O’Connor discusses election security on The Briefing with Michael Waldman: bit.ly/4kzj8mf

Fuentes then fantasizes about “breeding gulags”: “So just like Hitler imprisoned Gypsies, Jews, communists, you know, all of his political rivals, we have to do the same thing with women… They go to the breeding gulags. The good ones will be liberated. The bad ones will toil in the mines forever.”

Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”

Wow

If there's one thing wrestling fans really really love it's being told not to chant something. Works out every single time. See also: a decade of WWE fans chanting for CM Punk.

Part of the way I talk about Jim Crow in the classroom is to say that it withdrew the protection of the laws from Black people, and from any white people who defied it. That wasn't a secret, it wasn't covert. It was overt, explicit, institutional. That's what's being described in the thread. Today.

One thing that’s essential about this thread is that it describes open, public, brazen, systematic lawlessness at every step of the process. In a functioning democracy this would not be happening.

Really powerful, really illuminating thread. Clear, precise, devastating.

(And let me note that immigration law FAVORS such horrific outcomes. Asylum is very hard to win. Immigration “court” isn’t a real court. It’s a kangaroo court where DHS is judge, jury, and executioner. You have no right to counsel. And the law tilts against non-citizens all conceivable ways.) 4/

I need a shower after watching this guy speak.

Big news tonight: Federal judge Tim Kelly has BLOCKED Bondi & Trump's attempt to transfer 20 men to an infamous super-max prison. Biden granted these men clemency, and Trump has been trying to retaliate by plunging them in a place that people describe as a "living hell," as Bolts reported here:

San Francisco teachers will enter their 4th day on strike Thursday, unless a deal is made late tonight. Negotiations have centered on wages, among other issues, so we asked: How much do teachers make vs. city workers? On average, less—much less. missionlocal.org/2026/02/sf-t...

"It is totally inappropriate and against the separations of powers for the DOJ to surveil us as we search the Epstein files. (US Attorney General) Bondi showed up today with a burn book that held a printed search history of exactly what emails I searched." - Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA).
