A heist in broad daylight

Palantir Technologies raked in $1.5 BILLION in income last year — including from lucrative taxpayer-funded DHS contracts — and paid ZERO federal income tax. It's fast becoming the most dangerous and least accountable corporation in America. https://youtu.be/x_VwyhErd88?si=RCrKYNu1bMlNhU0G

America gave up kings 250 years ago and adopted a system in which “no one is above the law.” But presidents? SCOTUS gives them immunity. Corporations? SCOTUS makes it easier for them to pollute. Billionaires? SCOTUS says they can buy elections. The legacy of the John Roberts Supreme Court.

“It is time to acknowledge what has become tragically obvious: the Trump administration is operating as a massive criminal enterprise.” This absolutely captures it. Instead of "Trump Administration," we should say "Trump Syndicate." #TrumpSyndicate

She never lived to see this moment, but it’s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre. She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrew’s. Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.

Andrew arrested, UK launches criminal investigation into Mandelson for his ties to Epstein, Paris re-opens case into Epstein ally Jean Luc Brunel, French authorities raid Twitter HQs... Meanwhile, an active cover-up by the Trump Admin and the GOP in America.

NEWS: Former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has been sentenced to life in prison after a court found him guilty of leading an insurrection tied to his 2024 martial law declaration that triggered a constitutional crisis and military raid on the National Assembly.

New — This was projected on the US Institute of Peace building this evening ahead of the first meeting tomorrow of Trump’s farcically-named “Board of Peace.” Photo taken by person who was over there tonight. Unclear who’s behind the projection.

The Trump regime deported a 2-month-old baby and his family after the infant was hospitalized following their detention at the Dilley family detention center. Rep. Joaquin Castro says the family was shipped off with only the money in their commissary — $190. The cruelty is endless.

I'm running for Congress to take the fight directly to Trump—but I can't do it if I'm not on the ballot. 🗳️ We need 1,250 signatures from NY-12 Democrats in just a few weeks. It’s going to be close. Help us hit our goal and protect our democracy. Sign up now: bit.ly/GeorgeConway...

BREAKING: MeidasTouch and MoveOn are hosting the People’s State of the Union on the National Mall as Dems boycott Trump’s address. Hosted by Katie Phang and Joy Reid, it will feature lawmakers alongside federal workers, immigrants, and Americans impacted by Trump’s policies. Watch on our YouTube.

"On January 21, Carr issued new guidance suggesting that the FCC bona fide news exception no longer applies to talk shows … or at least not to all of them. And who will be in charge of making the subjective determination of partisan motivation? *Brendan Carr, of course!*"

Trump: It’s a hoax. We should move on. Trump’s DOJ: There’s nothing to investigate. The UN: The revelations suggest a global criminal enterprise…a number of the abuses meet the legal threshold of crimes against humanity. www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/202...

People who immigrate to the U.S. come here to find safety and opportunity and contribute to our communities. We should be welcomed with dignity, not demonized.

Meanwhile, in Germany, the public weighs in on what they think of the Epstein Administration. #BrutalButAccurate

“If this guy isn’t impeached and removed, what’s the point to the whole Constitution? You can’t have a fucking criminal running the government for his own benefit screwing the people. And that’s what we have.”

We are off the cliff, folks. 🇺🇸 www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

I voted for James this morning in the Texas primary. Go Talarico!!

Our assignment is to embarrass fascist hack and Trump-panderer Bari Weiss by making sure this segment, which she banned from airing, gets more views on YouTube than it would have gotten on CBS. #StreisandEffect

I don't think someone would resign over a hoax.

I'm attending No Kings's event, “NO KINGS Fort Worth” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

The map for No Kings Day just went live with nearly 600 peaceful protests planned across all 50 states (including our flagship event in the Twin Cities). Find your local protest or start a new No Kings event if there’s currently nothing planned near you: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

For President's Day, Donald posted a picture of himself trying to look tough (he looked like my grandmother, but she never wore that much makeup), and this quote: "I was the hunted. Now I’m the hunter." Another reason to stop celebrating this holiday.

We are living through dark, disturbing and dangerous times, but do not despair — the cavalry is coming! Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band will be taking the stage this spring from Minneapolis to California to Texas to Washington, D.C. for the Land of Hope And Dreams American Tour.

Everywhere this man goes he should be treated as if he murdered millions of children, because he did.

I think we are going to have a Democratic-controlled Senate. And all we will need for the leadership of that Democratic Senate to do is hold actual, real, impeachment trials. As the Constitution requires. Not the bullshit fake trials like the ones that the Senate held in 2020 and 2021...

The New York Times reports that the Department of Homeland Security has sent Google, Meta, and other media corporations subpoenas for the names on accounts that criticize ICE enforcement. The department wants to identify Americans who oppose what it’s doing. I’ll save them time.

Trump-appointed judge denies DOJ access to Michigan voters’ private information. Constitution says states run elections. 👏👏👏 www.mlive.com/news/2026/02...

Great sitting down with Brian Tyler Cohen to talk about everything from the courage we saw in Minnesota, to how Democrats can be true to our values and get stuff done, to how we’re building a community of changemakers at the Obama Foundation. youtube.com/watch?v=uI-hgSE5QIw

DHS is pressuring tech companies to disclose the identities behind social media accounts that criticize ICE agents. The subpoenas don’t require a judge’s approval and seek names, email, phone numbers, and other details tied to anonymous accounts posting about ICE. www.engadget.com/big-tech/hom...

The President, two of his current Cabinet secretaries, his former strategist, his biggest donor, and his pending Fed Chair nominee are all in the files of a pedophile who ran a sex trafficking ring, while the attorney general and a former Cabinet secretary let him get away with it. Seems kinda bad?

@barackobama.bsky.social: "When I was POTUS, I suppose I could have simply unilaterally ordered the military to go into some red state and harass and intimidate a governor or cut off funding for states that didn't vote for me... but that is contrary to how I think our democracy is supposed to work."

Sounds like a solid plan...

ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY 💯%.......

There is no way Senate Dems should vote for DHS funding while Republicans are threatening to nationalize elections and Trump is threatening to do it by executive order. ICE reforms are no longer enough. Their authoritarianism must be fought with every legislative lever available.

In today's episode of "things that look like a giant dick." Here is a picture of Ted Cruz. Oh, and a neon sign...😅🤣

This is their whole M.O. right here.

Donald Trump is a wholly owned subsidiary of Big Oil and Big Coal. He's literally stopping coal plants from shutting down after receiving nearly half a billion dollars from the industry during the 2024 campaign.

BREAKING: Kristi Noem blanket reveal

SCARBOROUGH: “Bondi refused to turn around and even look at them… the real ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ is the people who have thrown their careers overboard to try to get in Trump’s good graces — that they will literally ignore child rape victims.” (From @marcofoster.bsky.social )

One of the the best statements of the Bondi hearing was when @balint.house.gov put Bondi in her place. “I COULDN’T TELL!” This #CupOfJoe was heard around the world. The tide is turning. Keep the pressure on about ALL of the issues! Make a list & call your MOCs. 202-224-3121

This working bullshit is really cutting into my bluesky time.

I continue to recommend putting on headphones...leaning back in your recliner...closing your eyes, and listening to "The End" by The Doors. You'll feel better.

And you know that notion never, ever crossed any same person's mind

First, read this and learn about the SAVE Act. Then call your senators. We can’t afford to let them impose a poll tax on our right to vote. joycevance.substack.com/p/voting-a-r...
