Makes sense

American colonists 250 years ago were very worked up about judicial independence and the rule of law. Now it seems it's only the British who still care www.theguardian.com/uk-news/live...

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

What the congressman reports below is disgusting. He reveals the utter lack of decency and humanity in the Trump administration, especially in the telling detail at the end.

CNN confirms what MSNBC reported live a few hours ago: DOJ is surveilling Dem lawmakers when they go to the DOJ to search unredacted Epstein files.

People of DC, more than two weeks into being totally iced in, now get news of measles spread—brought in by Right to Life marchers. Looking for people exposed on the Metro, at DCA, at Children's Hospital, on Amtrak. Gee, thanks, RFKJr et al. dchealth.dc.gov/release/heal...

Who’s going to stand up for Canada in Alberta’s separation referendum? Apparently, no one. No one is taking this seriously even as the US Treasury Sec is licking his thin lips, eagerly awaiting the opportunity to bankroll the propaganda campaign. #abpoli #ableg open.substack.com/pub/davebert...

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside. What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there? I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

Happening now in Silicon Valley: marchers have surrounded the Palantir building and are holding a prayer vigil for victims of ICE, while video of ICE and Palantir crimes is projected on the building. #abolishice #iceout #palantir #paloalto

You know what evil looks like? The 5 year old boy who was kidnapped and trafficked by ICE-Gestapo having spent more time in jail than anyone in the Epstein Files.

Therein lies the problem. ICE is terrorizing Los Angeles, and local police are choosing not to enforce the law banning masked federal agents. This is how trust collapses.

Oh, ok.

Rest in Peace Alex Jeffrey Pretti🙏🏾 The VA ICU Nurses send him off right 💔

I will just keep repeating. I have never never never seen anything like this. 30 years of reporting.

People can say they didn’t vote for this but people are liars

"'Our operations are lawful, targeted and focused on individuals who pose a serious threat to this community,' Bovino said..." Again, Liam is **five**. Five years old.

The House Ethics Committee found that Matt Gaetz did all of the horrible things previously claimed—sex trafficking minors, prostitution (including of minors), drugs, drunk driving, obstruction, the works. The Florida Bulldog has secured and published the House report this evening.

JUST NOW: Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social arrives at the start of the new Tennessee legislative session with a huge “ABOLISH ICE” flag

WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to: * 8 people shot * 5 of which were U.S. citizens * 2 died * no victims drew a weapon The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire www.wsj.com/us-news/vide...

Every morning I wake up and thank the Good Lord that this numptie doesn't represent my nation on the world stage.

Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social

I said “let’s clean the air, wear masks and other prevention stuff to protect people from bugs”… Society said. “We prefer dead kids.” Mainly because dark money convinced people that going back to “normal” was important, no matter how bad it was.

“Plead the Fifth” regarding what?? Maxwell has exhausted her appellate process. SCOTUS has rejected her. Regardless, she lied with Todd Blanche so her credibility is dogshit unless you get someone like former AUSA Maurene Comey in there to question her. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Sir, Trump is at Mar-a-Lago since yesterday.

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.
