🧵 of newly released images and videos of Epstein's Island from House Oversight Dems, sourced from the US Virgin Islands Department of Justice. First, we have four videos from the island, then various photos of rooms from inside his estate. Redacted speed dial and blackboard photos below.

interesting to see her leaning on the argument that pro-palestinian voices are unfamiliar with the relevant history, as if any amount of historical context could justify what's happening in palestine

It's become normal now for high-level political figures to argue that an entire generation was brainwashed through fake videos into mass anti-Israel political mobilization by TikTok. Complete conspiracy thinking, rooted in zero evidence, based on nothing

Months before Epstein was arrested a second time for his sexual abuse of minors he was obsessed with buying books about Trump, how elites hide their crimes, and several versions of Lolita. By @zeteo.com based on docs obtained by @ddosecrets.com zeteo.com/p/epstein-ki...

ever been so horny you invent new crimes against the profession of journalism?

guy who got passed over for AG having a normal one

This AP news story is incredible from front to back but I wanted to flag something super serious and wildly illegal that may have flown under the radar. It’s called parallel construction and it’s when intel is washed from spy agencies and used by local cops. apnews.com/article/immi... 1/

So far we have published over 100Gb of emails related to J Epstein. If you want to see more, hit the donate button for @ddosecrets.com donorbox.org/ddosecrets

More on the Epstein emails, @ddosecrets.com has a *new cache* of emails that it’s making available to reporters and researchers ddosecrets.com/article/epst...

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

Looks like a slap on the wrist settlement for RealPage. So much for the New Right’s populist antitrust enforcement, Part MCXXVII www.wsj.com/business/jus...

Wow: Per Hamdi's legal team, his only charge was a visa overstay — after Trump revoked his visa. Despite DHS tweeting that Hamdi supported terrorism, they never charged him with any criminality. In other words: Trump revoked a journalist's visa, so agents could arrest him for overstaying his visa.

Rules that you can just steal Twitter jokes and post them here

This "multiple hop" theory was invented by the spy agencies for allowing themselves the ability to read your emails and IM history. Now the government is saying it gives them the legal authority to *kill you* if your neighbor's cousin is suspected of drug trafficking w/o evidence.

DHS posting creepy fash zoomer fancams of Border Patrol head Greg Bovino

Border Patrol procuring a new mobile surveillance system powered by AI and Starlink. "M2S2 will provide operators with high-resolution video and sensor data, supported by advanced artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities." Looks like it will be a pickup truck mounted surveillance tower.

Since I started working on this article the number of people kidnapped by ICE has *tripled* truthout.org/articles/ice...

Worth mentioning too: Border Patrol is *insanely* corrupt. Here is one of the many, many, many stories about them www.politico.com/magazine/sto...

A Jewish-American journalist was attacked by Israeli settlers nearly a week ago, and Senate Democrats Chuck Schumer (party leader) and Kirsten Gillibrand (DSCC leader), and Rep. Dan Goldman have apparently completely ignored him:

Both the U.S. marshal and the immigrant were shot by federal officers. You’d never know that from this headline.

EXCLUSIVE: A cell-site simulator, commonly referred to as an IMSI-catcher or "Stingray," may have been used at the ICE facility in Portland. Analysis of cellular signals in the area showed phones receiving abnormal spikes in requests for their unique identifiers. san.com/cc/exclusive...

Holy Toledo

Israel is going to geofence "every major church in California, Arizona, Nevada and Colorado and all Christian Colleges" and track churchgoers as they leave to target them with Pro-Israel ads. Assistant AG Harmeet Dhillon's firm is doing their FARA compliance. LINK: open.substack.com/pub/jpaladin...

NEW: ICE purchased custom-made vans from a company called TechOps Specialty Vehicles (TOSV) that are equipped with fake cellphone towers designed to spy on phones. TOSV president said the company integrates the cell-site simulators into their vans, but does not manufacture the surveillance tool.

a huge sign of overconfidence is letting Miller talk on camera. a uniquely revolting presence in an administration of sentient red flags.

🔎NEW: ICE docs reveal plans to hire contractors to flag “potential criminal activity” from social media and commercial/gov databases. A pre-crime dragnet with no definitions and no warrants. Also includes associates/coworkers/neighbors/family members. open.substack.com/pub/jpaladin...

Folks, we are still fundraising for the family of the man I saw kidnapped by #ICE in #Chicago in broad daylight. He has been moved *again* even further from his family and they need help with legal fees and we are trying to raise his bond as well. donorbox.org/help-francis...

New from 404 Media: ICE to buy tool that tracks locations of hundreds of millions of phones every day. Billions of pieces of location data. ICE previously stopped using data remotely harvested from smartphones. Now it's buying it again. Usually used w/o warrant www.404media.co/ice-to-buy-t...

🚨 NSPM-7 🚨

NEW: Six people detained in California’s newest + largest ICE facility speak out, saying they are confined in filthy cells, struggling to access basic medications, going hungry due to insufficient food, drinking dirty water, and faced with “military-like” staff. “This place is built to break us”

ICE shooter Joshua Jahn's politics aren't what's being reported, three longtime former friends tell me. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/the-ice-sh...

“Their accounts paint the picture of someone with a vaguely libertarian bent who despised both major parties and politicians generally (including Trump) but who didn’t engage with politics beyond that. He preferred edgy humor, video games and the message board 4chan”

Im sorry but there is only one type of letter that would actually send Disney Corporate offices “into a panic” and I’d get banned if I were more specific

NEW from LCRW: Things moved fast after Charlie Kirk was murdered. @azrww.bsky.social, the staff & I tried to encapsulate the bizarre first week after his murder in as much minutiae as we could stomach. The end of every graf felt like the most gut-punching absurd kicker I've ever written.

NEW: Documents reveal that ICE is buying 20 armored BearCats for $8.2 million. No-bid contract. ICE keeps expanding its militarized presence while communities pay the price. open.substack.com/pub/jpaladin...

CONFIRMED: ICE activity in Maplewood and North in Chicago’s Wicker Park / Humboldt neighborhood. Just saw a neighbor kidnapped.

I broke this story the day before this post, and 404media (of which I’m a big fan!) credits this Bluesky post as “first noticed.” Seems trivial but links can really help new substacks! Feels bad man.

Thanks to @thedailybeast.bsky.social for the shoutout on this @juliaornedo.bsky.social!

This was such a massive failure at the congressional level. The misguided and widely criticized attempts to ban TikTok only empowered Trump and his conservative media allies in the end—like many critics of the ban legislation feared it would

NEW: Ryan Fournier, who has been leading an effort to dox people for their Charlie Kirk posts, was once accused of pistol-whipping a woman. jpaladino.substack.com/p/the-man-do...

woulda been cool to give me a link or shoutout! (my substack post predates their "first noticed by" link by a day) jpaladino.substack.com/p/kash-patel... @404media.co

some goat antics to purify your timeline

NEW: ICE can't stop awarding no-bid contracts with dubious justifications. Remember those "DEFEND THE HOMELAND" ICE propaganda vehicles? Now they've forked over more than an a million dollars to a Wyoming company with no relevant history, to "wrap and upfit" the SUVs. 🔗below.

But, oc, he did. Kash Patel’s DOJ Scrubbed Study Showing Right-Wing Violent Attacks Outpace All Other Extremism As MAGA world rages about left-wing violence, the government appears to have removed a research paper showing contrary evidence. jpaladino.substack.com/p/kash-patel...

“Militant, nationalistic, white supremacist violent extremism has increased in the United States. In fact, the number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism.” The Trump DOJ scrubbed this study from their website.

Following Sen. Chris Van Hollen’s criticism of Democratic leadership for refusing to endorse Zohran Mamdani, Hakeem Jeffries’ spokesman mocks: “Chris Van Who?”
