This posted late so if you read it you will automatically be granted one (1) wish that is guaranteed to come true. It’s about Pam Bondi’s Minnesota ransom note and how Trump perverted the already perverted GOP claims about “voter fraud.” www.ms.now/opinion/bond...

As predicted on Feb. 5, 2025: open.substack.com/pub/lucid/p/...

Trump did this. Measles is deadly.

you know you fucked up when tablet magazine is like uh hey guys…..

Don’t. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspaper. The criticism was not “widespread” & the cited sources are all pro-Trump.

You can ignore science, but science will never ignore you. Measles incidence in the United States.

Union representing CBP and ICE agents calls for the firing of Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller.

I've been noting that Stephen Miller is significantly (entirely?) responsible for the rules of engagement that keeps leading to experienced goons murdering bystanders. www.emptywheel.net/2026/01/07/t...

Genuinely interesting. Kristi Noem is snitching that Stephen Miller is the one who made up the bullshit about Alex Pretti. It would be genuinely useful if Congress can get her to admit that he has been dictating ALL OF THIS just like he dictated the murderboats. www.axios.com/2026/01/27/t...

It’s just incredibly funny this is supposed to be the “freedom” party. It was never about any freedom except their right to be selfish assholes and not feel bad about it.

In his episode on “How to Prevent and Treat Colds and Flu”, he describes why he doesn’t typically get the annual shot while stating “the flu shot is completely ineffective at combatting any other forms of the flu virus”—that’s false as even in cases of mismatch, the vax protects against hosp/death.

In response to announcement that he will be a new CBS contributor, Andrew Huberman tweeted “I’ve always gone issue-by-issue on health & science, spoken to experts w/a range of takes & presented where I see the center of (data) mass pointed. I’ll do the same with @CBSNews”. In Sept he posted this:

These two charts came up in back to back posts on my feed. First shows deaths in ICE custody. The second, deaths from measles. The two charts present data differently (bar chart vs overlaid year lines) but share one obvious thing in common: Trump’s policies are actively killing people

Please note this is only the deaths we have been told about - and does not include however many people have died in overseas gulags.

REP. OMAR after being attacked with liquid: “We will continue! These fucking assholes are not gonna get away with this! Here is the reality people like this ugly man don’t understand — we are Minnesota Strong. We’ll stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us.”

English translation of statement from Ecuadorian Consulate regarding ICE’s attempt to enter their building in Minneapolis today:

I have begun to think that Minnesota pushback to ICE was unique and a model because it gave people something to do. It wasn’t about just going out in streets for rallying purposes. People had a mission: videos, whistles, information and communication flow to communities. They had something to do.

Chris Murphy on Kristi Noem: “She’s unqualified, but so will the next DHS secretary. The name on the on the door of DHS doesn’t really matter. This is an operation being run by the president and Stephen Miller.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

M.H. is a U.S. citizen, and each time he asked the ICE agents who unlawfully detained him if they could loosen his handcuffs, the officers squeezed them tighter. We're suing the Trump administration on behalf of everyone brutalized by federal agents’ reckless and illegal tactics in Minneapolis.

Judge Roy Dalton in Florida is threatening to sanction U.S. Attorney Gregory Kehoe for a "woeful, wholesale failure to point to scores of contrary persuasive cases" holding Trump's policy of denying bond hearings to detained migrants is unlawful. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Now do Stephen Miller

I know it's super cold here in Pennsylvania right now, but I didn't know it was so cold that hell has frozen over.

BREAKING: Family of Boat Strike Victims Sue U.S. for “Manifestly Unlawful” Killings A lawsuit aims to hold the Trump administration accountable for killing two Trinidadian men in an airstrike in the Caribbean. theintercept.com/2026/01/27/b...

It's extremely odd that what is obvious to me - that Bovino is being removed from Minneapolis to impede a criminal investigation - is being reported as "He embarrassed the President."

ICE & U.S. Customs & Border Protection employed at least 30 people with sexual & violent criminal histories in recent years. At least 20 agents committed offenses with underage victims. The bulk of abuse happened within the last two years. This article includes names of the agents.

Okay I think I've mapped out ICE politics as of Monday night

Tim Walz did a WSJ op-ed yesterday that I missed. It debunks key lies: >ICE said it was too busy invading to pick up child predator in Cottonwood >MN has 207 non-citizens in jails, not 1360 >"Worst of worst" arrested by MN and turned over before invasion www.wsj.com/opinion/tim-...

Moderna have announced that they won't run new phase three trials now with massive impacts for new vaccine development- why- its because of RFK Jr and his anti-vaccine campaigns and cancelling mRNA vaccine research which affect the sales the company can then make 🧪🧵 #PublicHealth

There's a predictable approach to denial that we're already seeing, which I call the Four Pillars of Disordered Doubt, which allows actors to constantly question evidence that don't fit their preferred narratives.

Someone in Italy told me ICE is all over their main news channels right now, with some calling ICE "squadristi" aka Mussolini Blackshirts and saying ICE is dangerous and untrained.

The US government lost more than 10,000 STEM PhDs last year, according to an analysis by Science of newly released OPM data, with 11 departures for every hire. And many OPM calls "voluntary" separations were probably pushed. www.science.org/content/arti...

Little Bighorn is, IMO, one of the most interesting public sites in US, bc it is a kids driving tolerance away fr Yellowstone (and so attracts people who otherwise wouldn't stop), and is basically a shrine to a humiliating American loss, with plenty of Native Americans present who will explain that.

380 pessoas mortas pela política de imigração europeia. Sobreviventes do colonialismo europeu na África, mortos pelas políticas da Europa dita democrática. Não é só a ICE que mata, a barbárie tem muitas formas.

In 2015, Chuck Klosterman and I made plans to get high and go the Brooklyn Aquarium. We never did. This week, 11 years later, we got together to tape this in-person podcast instead: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

We investigated why Trump is dumping the wreckage from his White House demolition onto a municipal golf course in DC. We found a story about the destruction of Black history and public lands. New @pablotorrefindsout.bsky.social x @friedegggolf.bsky.social report: youtu.be/8dJaDf3QJFM?...

PTFO collaborated with @msjpauly.bsky.social and @motherjones.com on an investigation into Riley Gaines. Riley’s messaging about trans athletes involves “predatory men” and “sexual assault.” But there’s an important story multiple ex-teammates at Kentucky want you to know: youtu.be/iKUl8lkuGOc?...

"Stephen Miller runs the White House." - @joesudbay.bsky.social

The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions. It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

Sadder than people dying at the direction and hands of the US government? No, but entirely justified.

US firm helps the Russian in Ukraine - Robert Pera owns the firm.

There is no way in hell the United States under the Trump regime can host the World Cup in a few months. They are murdering citizens in broad daylight, threatening war against NATO, and lawlessly kidnapping children and foreign heads of state. The world has to organize a boycott. It’s not safe.

I hope all the AI boosters understand that they’re training their kids that only chumps do things the hard way—by working diligently and going through the discomfort and hassle of learning and acquiring skills. And also teaching them that a 30% error rate is good enough.
