DHS is shutting down because it refuses to obey the law. They are tear-gassing schools, killing American citizens, and disappearing legal immigrants. Democrats shouldn’t fund an out of control ICE.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast. The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me. But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

end qualified immunity and make cops carry personal liability insurance

The Project 2025 author is using millions of dollars in USAID money for his own security detail. It is estimated that 762,000 people have *already died* as a result of Elon Musk and Russell Vought’s obscene murder of USAID, including more than 500,000 children. Vought is a mass murderer.

"Don't worry about the Discord thing, it's only NSFW servers and channels that will require age verification! :)" I could remove every speck of risque imagery/topics from my community and there's still a 50% chance we'd get flagged just because we're openly queer. It's not actually about the kids.

Good morning! This man is a fucking liar.

ICE broke off into smaller teams. instead of flooding 1 zone, they broke up into packs. my friends across Chicago reported spotting small teams of 2 - 5 people popping up all over the city. sometimes 10 different spots in 1 day. they ran our spotters ragged.

Colorado has started putting polling places in prisons, and people have been voting at really high rates there!

I found this admission kind of telling. Yikes.

…. I’m a non white scholarship private school and Ivy kid This is : - anti feminist yes but also racial segregation remixed - a new brand of shifting societal issues onto women and part of Project Eve so irresponsible yall make my ass itch - a disturbing signal of an uptick in abuse

This is like the owner of a car dealership finding out about car theives and saying “Welp, I’m finished!” Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise both have rights to their likenesses. This video violates their rights, and the machine that created was trained on stolen copyrighted material.

More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

Billionaires should be taxed out of existence because no one human being should possess the unilateral power to launch the kinds of environment-destroying and world-changing projects that billionaires can approve.

Everyone reading this is a pandemic survivor. Billions of us are still alive thanks to advances in medical research that are being rolled back by MAGA and MAHA. 50 million people died in the last global pandemic. This time, it was about one-seventh of that. Still too many & we're going backwards.

No. Hard no. No fucking way. Never. Ever. Ever.

Don’t look away from MN. ICE is still wreaking havoc across the state - changing their tactics to deceive Minnesotans - pretending to be construction workers or folks delivering groceries. Still over 2,000 ICE agents in the state. They’re not going anywhere, your anger and outrage shouldn’t either.

Thune’s plan has been obvious - drag this out as long as possible to put distance between the Pretti/Good murders and the final vote on DHS funding, hoping that the American public moves on. Senate Dems will never have more leverage for ICE reforms than they do right now.

NEW: Documents obtained by @wired.com show that ICE has or plans to open more than 150 facilities around the US, in nearly every state, many near major metro areas. @leahfeiger.bsky.social has the scoop: www.wired.com/story/ice-ex...

Republicans - Refuse to wear masks to save lives, but gleefully put them on to end lives.

Around the world, politicians and businessmen are resigning from their positions because of the Epstein Files. Except in the United States. Here: Zero shame, zero consequences. We need resignations, investigations, impeachments, and punishments now. Should have been years ago.

(🚨) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: Trump Personal Lawyers Bondi, Blanche, and Patel Hid From American Voters a *Minimum* of *95%* of All References to Donald Trump in the Epstein Files (950,000 of 1M+), Establishing the Largest Political Coverup in American History

This is unsurprising. "AI" is just another middle-man between you and your work.

An annual meeting of the nation’s governors that has long served as a rare bipartisan gathering is unraveling after President Donald Trump excluded Democratic governors from White House events.

Outlaw ALL genAI & prosecute every techbro pushing it, this shit is actively harmful.

Greed is a mental illness. Billionaires are money hoarders. They love money so much, they'll support a child rapist just to get a tax break.

People need to realize that, along with citizens swept up in immigration raids, they have also detained citizens for being involved in activism.

If you're wondering if it's because the money was allocated to go to trans, queer, and Black people, yup, it's because the money was allocated to go to trans, queer, and Black people.

One of the most miserable things about living in this era is having to watch the stupidest & most arrogant people in the world have to relearn The Why of literally everything good that we collectively do the hard way. The answer is always ‘Because a bunch of people died, fuckwit.’

Why does Lutnick still have his job? The GOP is defending pedophiles and their friends... www.politico.com/live-updates...

It's staggering how this political eunuch has not just done nothing at all as Speaker of the House, but has actually worked to prevent his colleagues from doing anything at all as well. For all the right's fetishization of "originalism," this is a development that would've made the founders weep

You know we can just beat the shit out of these dorks right? Like, they're just a bunch of CHUDs jerking off on their laptops about oppressing girls, calling themselves "The Heritage Foundation." Ooooh! This I guarantee: one single fist to one of these pasty cunt's faces and they all chicken out.

there's so much disrespect of romance writers and romance readers baked into the idea that AI-driven production of novels is 'better'. as if writing romance isn't skillful, hard and joyous work. as if romance readers aren't discerning, loyal and savvy.

Here’s the situation in the Twin Cities: Random Bovino-style tear-gassing: Way down Relentless persecution of immigrants: Unchanged Thuggish violence against observers: Way up

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

To be very clear, that lady in the NYT article is not making any money with her hundreds of AI slop books. She makes money by *convincing people* she makes money that way and getting them to pay her to teach them how to do it. It's an evolved MLM, and the NYT is helping market it.

It's hilarious that Fox News treats these things as deeply scandalous, in between segments where a bunch of adults are sitting around saying stuff like, well, you know, fourteen-year-olds *are* pretty sexy these days ...

"deprofessionalizing" fields that are majority-women...not by accident!

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum. Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.

this might be the highest gross things per line ratio piece I've read - if Americans are really following this story, the anti-elite backlash will be fierce. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/07/o...

Good morning from the Whistle Avengers! I just marked the 1,000 I'm sending to fellow organizers in Alabama as shipped, bringing us over 150,000 whistles shipped in February alone! To celebrate, please enjoy some pics from our various printers, showcasing a few of our favs. linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

This is big news. Peter Thiel and US billionaires are all over Epstein and global actors. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

They’re trying to run the Kilmar Abrego Garcia playbook with a five year old boy in a bunny hat because nobody can find peace if they embarrass the Trump administration publicly. Normal people didn’t like it with Garcia and they really aren’t going to like it for Liam.

Good. "But DHS isn't just ICE, it's also..." nope, wrong. DHS no longer serves any useful functions, the whole thing has been reassigned to repression. FEMA isn't even paying out to states. All DHS does is shooting, teargassing, facial recognition, and administrative warrants. Shut it down.
