This review by @katherinestewart.bsky.social has convinced me that need to watch "The Librarians" "It might just convince you that, in our moment of peril, it was the librarians of our nation’s public schools who helped save the day." writekaths.substack.com/p/the-librar...

Every study shows that being in a jail or prison, no matter how "nice" or whatever, shortens your lifespan. It does. So the government is taking years off the lives of people, including children, when it opts to put them in jail. www.propublica.org/article/life...

1. Trump has launched a torrent of bigoted invective against Somali migrants, calling them "garbage" and demanding they be kicked out of the country Now, the Trump administration is rigging the immigration courts against them We've uncovered the details of the scheme

OMG Ratner is a notorious sexual predator and Tyson is a convicted rapist and partner abuser.

*Green card application in process and work permit, married to US citizen *Lived in US for 20 years, no criminal record *In detention for five months with no charge, despite judge approving release *He disputes ICE claim that he signed forms agreeing to deportation

Bad Bunny “together we are America”

Imagine being a Republican and having to pretend Kid Rock was cooler than that

The Americas is going to have every sorry ass pundit trying to write something negative but hey that was correct

This is an important excerpt from @gregsargent.bsky.social’s piece. More people still support Trump and ICE than I would like, but it’s true that Trump and co assumed the manosphere would be with them unanimously. And that’s not the case. newrepublic.com/article/2062...

You should read this. It is the type of detail that experts in authoritarian regimes see as telling. In this case, state agents are offered impunity from higher ups, and the legal system is rendered inoperative as a mode of accountability. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/07/u...

Before The Washington Post layoffs came down, a group of wealthy D.C. locals approached CEO Will Lewis with a proposal. @passantino.bsky.social has the details in his Saturday @status.news column: www.status.news/p/washington...

"For years, a cottage industry of political observers has contorted itself to obscure and occlude the obvious. That regardless of what others see in him, Trump’s entire political career...cannot be understood outside the context of his bitter, deep-seated racism." (gift link)

We're not sure that parents who worry about Bad Bunny corrupting their children will be happy with TPUSA turning their kids on to Kid Rock. www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwat...

This is an important point. Empathy—in and of itself—is anti-fascist. The arts—and the project of higher education as a whole—teach empathy, enabling you to put yourself in other people’s shoes. So to a fascist, they must be destroyed.

EXCLUSIVE: Previously unreported remarks from the Civil Rights Division AAG, @HarmeetKDhillon run directly counter to what the President said recently, Congressional Republicans’ SAVE Act, and the conduct of her own office. mimsnewspod.substack.com/p/exclusive-...

Host: Weekly jobless claims rising unexpectedly to 231,000. Challenger layoffs, a challenging number here, 108,000. That was the worst January since 2009.

These numbers are simply incredible. It's very clear that most ordinary people have figured out that ICE is not remotely functioning as a law enforcement agency any longer and that none of this is about enforcing the law in any recognizable sense.

Great work by Greg Sargent. We are, right now, deciding whether we want to be a land of giant concentration camps and ethnic cleanings. newrepublic.com/article/2060...

It’s time for GOP leaders to stop lying to themselves and the American people about the nature of the regime’s mass-deportation project and the culture of lawlessness, sadistic cruelty and unaccountability among those carrying it out. @svantemyrick.bsky.social thehill.com/opinion/immi...

In a recent executive order about Cuba, Trump claimed it is U.S. foreign policy "to promote democracy, the principle of free expression and press, the rule of law, and respect for human rights throughout the world." How about a little of that at home?

“.. Trump has hung a for-sale sign on the Oval Office at a scale and frequency that is untoward and unprecedented. It’s also true that a Republican-controlled Congress and the courts are unlikely to do a thing about it.” @opinion.bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Welcome to the Jade Helm Presidency Conservatives once panicked about a supposed federal plot to invade their communities and quash dissent. Now they’re cheering it. theintercept.com/2026/02/02/t...

University of Illinois college republicans advocate for executing protesters as “traitors” with art that takes a disturbing killing and makes it even more extreme. dailyillini.com/news-stories...

👀 Every Senate Democrat + Collins and Murkowski just voted for the Bernie Sanders amendment to repeal the $75 billion in additional ICE funding under Trump’s “big beautiful bill.” The measure failed 49-51.

The "still" stops this from being a yes or no question.

MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!” So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it (H/T longtimehistory)

Just a couple of MAGA Christian-right guys talking about brutalizing whole communities to show people that Trump is boss. In the Bible, Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed and their inhabitants killed.

A fraud is about to be perpetrated on the people of Fulton County. And it isn't coming from the county.

US Space Force had been around almost a year how come they didn't stop the Italian vote-flipping rays, huh? For the love of god things are going to get stupid.

Trump’s fundraisers are now using the threat of dispatching ICE against citizens as an email engagement tactic.

Anne Frank's family had their German citizenship stripped from them under the Eleventh Decree to the Law on the Citizenship of the Reich in 1941. Since they had never become Dutch citizens, they were officially stateless at this point, lacking what Arendt termed "the right to have rights."

ICYMI - At the end of last week's hearing at which Jack Smith testified to Donald Trump’s crimes, former Metropolitan Police Officer Michael Fanone, who was assaulted by Trump’s thugs on January 6, 2021, found himself accosted by far-right extremist Ivan Raiklin. @petemontdc.com has the back story.

As the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence nears, the way Trump is waging war against American people in cities echoes actions that riled Americans against King George. History from @radleybalko.bsky.social radleybalko.substack.com/p/two-cities...

So many candidates for history's hall of shame from Trump's second first year--and also some inspiring heroes. People For the American Way's Svante Myrick shines on light on some of each: thehill.com/opinion/whit...

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
