Repeat after me: An executive order is not a royal edict; it is not law. It is a direction to the executive branch as to how to carry out the law. Also: Key parts of Trump's last EO on elections have been stopped by federal courts, ruling that the President has no role to play in federal elections

INBOX: Rep. Thomas Massie, who has enraged Trump for his insistence on blocking tariffs and releasing the Epstein files according to the law, just issued what is widely known among Chinese dissidents as "a declaration of no suicidal intent" (不自殺聲明), a sign of extreme distress.

Bring it on.

Pam Bondi has answered, without a doubt, Joseph N. Welch’s question: “Have you no sense of decency…?

This is something the Nazis used to do to Jewish children in the camps. It happened to a man I knew when he was a child in Auschwitz. The camp guards thought it was funny as hell.

This is Bogie. This rope is his very favorite toy because it makes his tiny human smile too. 13/10 (TT: _chelsea_brown_4)

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

A way to place this in the AI context is that an LLM is the equivalent of a person still learning what is relevant at the beginning stages of the relevant education who has been told they are an expert and put out in front of the world to act like one.

Memorable statement!

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?” There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

“If passed, the SAVE Act will disenfranchise 20 million voters.” Trump has pushed the Republicans to hold a vote in the House this week. Call your Rep and your Senators. 202-224-3121

ICE officials, under a judge’s order to clean up overcrowded and squalid conditions inside holding cells at 26 Federal Plaza detained migrants on a separate floor where they decided the the ruling didn't apply. The revelation comes in a hearing today: www.thecity.nyc/2026/02/09/2...

At the 2026 Games, Ukrainian skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych paid tribute to fallen Ukrainian athletes. His helmet features portraits of athletes killed by Russia. “Some of them were my friends,” he said. (via Suspilne)

Another classic post-Homan day where around school dismissal time we get a flurry of ICE vehicles all across our neighborhoods. Today one vehicle led an observer to their own home and pointed at it. This is a sick game to them, but we won’t be intimidated and we won’t stop until DHS is abolished.

When Voting day arrives..it would benefit the Democratic Voters to hang around outside the Polling Places in massive numbers..this was suggested by one of my State Democratic Reps who is awesome...organize it.. this is how can make it safe for your fellow Citizens to Vote in Person...

“No case so far has successfully halted telehealth abortions… But the scope of Texas’ law, authorizing private lawsuits from countless private citizens, and its direct targeting of shield laws means that this case offers abortion opponents a novel chance to block telehealth.”

For law abiding folks, Crypto is a scam. There are NO goods, services or tangible assets supporting its value. It’s a pyramid-ponzi scheme, which always fail at some point. However, it’s an excellent vehicle for money laundering & illegal transactions.

The entire anti wokeness nonsense of the past decade was about making this kind of gutter racism broadly acceptable again bsky.app/profile/adam...

Apparently there was a city meeting in Hutchins, Texas, tonight. Hutchins is the location of DHS's newly announced 10,000-person concentration camp. What I've been told is that city officials were unanimously and adamantly opposed to it. Unfortunately, I'm seeing this nowhere online.

Here is a collection of sworn testimonies from detainees being held in ICE custody. Until reading these testimonies, I wasn't fully aware of what is happening. Please read them yourself. We need to know this. We need to understand the consequences of ICE/CBP arrests. assets.aclu.org/live/uploads...

“Telepresence Robots” are invaluable to smaller or rural hospitals, clinics & mental health facilities. There is ALWAYS a QUALIFIED PROVIDER speaking directly with patients & staff. Allowing “AI-based avatars” to treat mental illness? Seems like malpractice. www.mprnews.org/story/2013/1...

🧵 of videos, accounts & articles of a Representative having 3 people (at least 2 of which are Veterans) removed from his town hall. Why? He doesn’t want to answer what’s his ‘red line’ in regards to Trump. #NY17 you need a Rep who answers constituents questions.

NEW: In one of his most explicit signals of election interference yet, Trump falsely claimed on a radio interview that immigrants “were brought to our country to vote and they vote illegally” and urged Republicans to control elections by placing them under national authority.

People all over Portland, Oregon were impacted by the chemical warfare deployed by the feds tonight. Here’s a thread of some Portlanders experiences who weren’t even at the protest:

That concentration camp where they had Liam is still filled with kids and families. Every one of them is another Liam. They all must be freed, and ICE must be abolished. Find your organizing home and get to work.

Here is Raymundo (Ray) Gutierrez, the second agent to shoot Alex Pretti (seen at a 2013 Halloween party in a Border Patrol vest and more recently.)

I remember how terrifying & painful it was to get tear gassed for the first time and I’m so angry that a bunch of people had to experience that yesterday. I have seen a lot of horrible shit in my life, but watching a bunch of kids struggle through the pain of being tear gassed is high on the list.

Jesse Ochoa, graduated from the Univ of Tx-Pan American w a degree in criminal justice, according to his ex-wife... A longtime resident of the Rio Grande Valley, Ochoa had for yrs dreamed of working for BP. By...2021, he had... about 25 rifles, pistols & shotguns, Angelica Ochoa said.

A 2016 civil lawsuit found in the Epstein files alleges that Trump raped a 13-year-old girl at parties hosted by Jeffrey Epstein in NY. Epstein raped her too. For anyone wondering why the victim dropped the case… 1/2

I recorded this today, in Portland, Oregon, at a huge march to the ICE facility in SW. The crowd was full of cyclists who had ridden there in memory of Alex Pretti; members of several labor unions; and ordinary citizens of every age, including this little girl. So of course ICE deployed tear gas.

This is tear gassing protesters just for protesting. There is no threat, and the only danger presented is ICE behaving recklessly. There is no provocation; this is just straight up assault.

Former criminal defense attorney here. If what we’ve seen of the Epstein Files so far—heavily redacted and with 3 million pages still missing—is bad, keep in mind that the *Files in full* are a *hundred* times worse. That’s how this works. You’re seeing the G-rated version.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

“We had to deliver them to a detention center,” principal Jason Kuhlman said about the second grader and fifth grader.

#Kyiv residents share pictures of their frozen homes and how they try to heat them. After Russian attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, electricity and heating are scarce in Kyiv. A new wave of very cold weather is expected by the end of the week. More 📷in comments.

“We are a Minneapolis 2nd grade Brownie Troop of 12 including trans and neurodiverse youth and 75% BIPOC kids. We want to go to summer camp and try horseback riding! During the current ICE occupation we need your support more than ever...” And that’s how I ordered 4 boxes of thin mints.

Methotrexate is primarily used to treat • Autoimmune Diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, lupus & juvenile idiopathic arthritis. • Breast cancer, leukemia & lung cancer. 2022 Guidance ensured access for chronic medical conditions unrelated to abortion in states that have banned abortion.

Think about it like this. This ICE agent was on camera and unmasked — fulfilling one of three "demands" Democratic leader Chuck Schumer just issued in order to agree to save Republicans and give DHS even more money. And he was still threatening to kill someone.

wooooow

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free
