I hate when fantasy films I made a long time ago begin to come true in real life.

I remember watching Forest Gump and other movies set in the civil rights and Vietnam eras thinking how cool it would have been to live though those protests. Well, I have an update: it’s not nearly as cool and romantic as it seemed. It’s infuriating and scary and we shouldn’t have to do this again.

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

Potentially unsalvageable country.

The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now. Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity

It’s sad that this is the reality.

Susie Wiles is wearing an Apple Watch during a highly classified meeting on Iran. Unreal.

If the USA Women’s Hockey team wants a real celebration and invite ,,, I’ll host them in Las Vegas. Do some nice dinners and shows and good times. I’m sure I can get a hotel and airline to help me out here and celebrate these women for real for real. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

All that gas you keep seeing federal agents use against protesters? Yeah, it's quite dangerous.

Right-wing Heritage Foundation’s own data shows fewer than 100 noncitizens voted since 1982 (!!!) This is not a real problem. “The SAVE ACT is a Trojan horse to nationalize elections”: open.substack.com/pub/thiswill...

We are entering the “falling out of windows” phase.

On a serious note, I hope the Epstein survivors know the decent side of America is with them. And we’re so sorry for the way they’re being treated. 💔

Thread by Thomas Massie:

Listen to this. Not a penny more for this. Abolish and prosecute anyone who had anything to do with it.

Fun fact. The Bible was translated to Spanish about a century before it was ever translated to English. Share that with all your racist friends and then step back and watch the show.

Holy cow, Green Day played American Idiot at the Super Bowl!!! 💚💚💚

BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors

I’m not a conspiracy theorist. But when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein, there are a lot of things that remain objectively strange. A DOJ draft press release dated the day before his death, with the final version adding the phrase “of an apparent suicide.” 1/3

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.

So weird how this keeps happening. www.haaretz.com/us-news/2026...

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home. But did you look at the judge's order? It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept." Link to pdf: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

“A review of 47 victims’ full names on Sunday found that 43 of them were left unredacted in files that were made public by the government on Friday, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis. Several women’s full names appeared more than 100 times in the files. “ www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

Such blatant corruption — which the media will, of course, totally ignore.

UTAH auto body shop owner: “You guys broke the fucking window to get in here! Where is your warrant??” Trump’s ICE goons: “Yes we did… We don’t need one.” 🤔 Rights are gone under this regime. (From Somali Snaps: www.instagram.com/reel/DUKpzuS...)

Whoa. This is from an FBI email with the subect "Re: Epstein - Cellmate Interview" Here are the summaries provided by the FBI agent.

😕

Alarmed yet?

Trump video post: “J6 WAS A FEW EXTREMISTS & LASTED A FEW HOURS”

Liam is in ICE custody and his health is deteriorating. Joaquin Castro says Liam is depressed, lethargic, sleeping excessively and barely eating, repeatedly asking about his mom, and when he can go home. He’s withdrawn and not the bright preschooler he was just days ago. LIAM NEEDS A DOCTOR 1/2

This giant ICE Army they are building this year is also likely to be at polling places during the midterms in heavily Democratic precincts with the excuse being that they are looking for “illegals trying to vote.”

I just got an AP news alert that said “FBI is serving a warrant at elections office…” and when I clicked it the whole article disappeared. That’s not weird at all. Anyway, Reuters has the deets. And they’re as dirty as you’d imagine.

Trump’s masked deportation force has shot 12 people since September

Alert: A shooting involving U.S. Border Patrol was reported this morning in southern Arizona. One person was shot near milepost 15 on W. Arivaca Rd around 7:30 a.m., per Pima County Sheriff’s Dept. Identity not released.

Many TikTok users recently reported problems uploading videos, sudden drops to zero views, or posts getting stuck “under review.” Almost all of those complaints involved videos criticizing ICE or discussing the murder of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.

It’s time to investigate. I am launching a review into whether TikTok is violating state law by censoring Trump-critical content.

The UK 🇬🇧 understood the assignment.

Just kinda seems like refusing to tell us which ICE agents murdered Alex Pretti undercuts the idea that they’re wearing masks to protect themselves — rather than to be able to kill people with impunity.

NEW: Trump tells WSJ that federal agents in Minneapolis have done “a phenomenal job” www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Some day history is going to look back at this moment and ask where you stood. A lot of you will lie and say you were against this all along. A lot of us will remember the truth. It’s not too late to fix that.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

They owe her, and all of us, an apology.

Read every word.
