ICE OUT NOW PROTEST IN SOUTHLAKE! This is what Democracy looks like! #ICEOUT @indivisibleguide.bsky.social @maddowblog.bsky.social

Huh...

Harvard professor Steven Levitsky, who studies democracy backsliding, on Don Lemon's arrest: “This is a new dimension. In democracies, journalists don't get arrested. In authoritarian regimes, journalists get arrested." More in @status.news: www.status.news/p/don-lemon-...

I'm against there being a secret police in America, and I vote.

Maria Santay, a U.S. citizen and community observer, live-streamed masked ICE agents detaining her after they boxed in her car from all sides and smashed her window. Local police showed up and did nothing. She was denied access to a restroom, and forced to pee in the parking lot while handcuffed.

The thing that shocks me most is that all of this incriminating stuff was sitting at the DOJ for 4 years and Biden & Garland were not cynical or ruthless enough to use it against Trump & Musk in the run up to 2024. If only they were the evil ‘weaponizers of government’ that MAGA claimed they were!

The MELANIA reviews are in.

I sometimes forget that not everyone has read my work. I am not saying don't call them concentration camps. I'm saying that I understand why the term makes some people uncomfortable, but that we need to realize where we're at. Anyway, attaching a recent piece to this thread, to help limit confusion.

John Kelly, no leftist, told the nyt before the election that Trump was a fascist and would rule as dictator. The nyt buried the story online and put it on p 13 in print. These Trump apologist publications did a grave disservice to their readers.

You know, we can just say this without the “I held off on using the term bc I’m not an irrational leftist” dig. I think the people who recognized what the GOP had become—long before we had ICE agents shooting Americans—deserve *credit.*

New Yorkers don’t seem all that fond of Malaria.

The people have had enough.

Tucson, Arizona has risen up against the regime and its violent ICE forces, the brave people of Tucson declare: "Tucson doesn't stand with tyranny" "We must win, for your brothers and your sisters, friends and family, we have to fight" #3E #GoodVsEvil #NationalStrike #ICEOut

Even redacted, the files are worse than a pee tape

If you think they’re building more detention facilities, increasing mass surveillance, and growing the size of ICE just to deport undocumented immigrants, then you haven’t been paying attention. Continuing to fund ICE is enabling what we all know is coming next.

Trump is mentioned in the Epstein files over 3000 times. Included is the lawsuit that was brought by Jane Doe in which he was accused of raping her when she was 13. The lawsuit was dropped when her life and her family was threatened. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 www.thetimes.com/us/american-...

Trump needs to be removed as well as his entire cabinet. Let them serve the entire term just isn’t sustainable. Some Republicans recognize that, some need to be in prison with them.

AND BE ARRESTED TOO.......

Beware. The Heritage Foundation recently called for this problem to be addressed by increasing the pregnancy rates among ever-younger girls. Look for T or RFK to fire & replace some pediatrics board to put out new guidelines that say pregnancy is OK for children. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Several thoughts: 1. Non-zero chance this is a partly human-operated scam/hoax. 2. If you use an “A.i.” agent in dealings with me, I will be forced to question your judgement and work and treat you as a security risk. 3. Ban consumer-facing “A.i.”

“This isn’t a moment, it’s a movement”

For today's bonus issue of "One First," I wanted to follow up on a post from last August that looked at legal pedagogy and the dual state by reflecting on the relationship between legal *scholarship* and governmental lawlessness—with a particular focus on how I think about my own work:

“'The LGBTQ agenda… through the Supreme Court of the United States, redefined marriage and severed it in law from its natural biological function and purpose of reproduction,' the report states." www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/01/infl...

We knew it was coming. Gilead raises its fascist head....

Disgusting. In an email on Sept. 11, 2013, Mr. Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin Group, wrote to Mr. Epstein, “It was really nice seeing you yesterday.” He added: “Any time you’re in the area would love to see you. As long as you bring your harem!” www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

Trump’s a bully - but the rest of that headline is complete nonsense. TRUMP LOVES HIS POWER AND THE PAIN HE IS CAUSING.

Good morning team. The need to tax billionaires out of existence becomes obvious.

Bruce Springsteen and Tom Morello in Minneapolis. ✊🇺🇸

A user from r/Minneapolis was among the first to share footage of federal agents shooting Alex Pretti. Following his death, subreddits about football, cats, and embroidery have all rallied against ICE.

This is why all conservatives, including so-called moderates that distance themselves from ICE, deserve to be snubbed/shunned.

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...)

Elon attempts to explain away being all up in the Epstein files… Reminder: he knew Trump was all over them too, and he helped make him president

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall. But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

God bless these people.

Just got back from an ICE protest in metro Atlanta. Now we are preparing for a rumored snowstorm.

Tampa stands with Minnesota.

REAL AMERICANS DON’T SHOOT UNARMED AMERICANS IN THE BACK ONE TIME—MUCH LESS 10 TIMES.

I genuinely want to quiz everyone who grew out of that list and ask them whether they know their godfather is Jeffrey Epstein.

So apparently I was right to shittalk m00t this week because it's been revealed that his boneheaded decision to establish /pol/ and subsequently ruin the website was allegedly born out of a one-on-one meeting with Jeffery Epstein.

Wherein Lesley Groff, unindicted co-conspirator of Jeffrey Epstein and booker of thousands of underage sex crimes, invites Chris "Moot" Poole, founder of the /Pol/ politically incorrect group on 4chan to visit Jeffrey Epstein and to bring anyone he thinks is clever to meet Epstein.

Wild: (Microsoft) Xbox Live banned Epstein for being a sex offender in 2013, but Microsoft founder Bill Gates kept making appointments with him

I’ve written this lengthy FT analysis overnight about the multiple multi-thousand pound Epstein payments to Mandelson’s husband these particular paragraphs are worth reading slowly www.ft.com/content/608a...

Yesterday, Todd Blanche said that people weren't going to find in the Epstein files what we always suspected. And while I'm mostly watching what others find in the Epstein files second hand, I keep thinking, are you fucking HIGH? Everything I'm seeing is precisely what we expected.

(1,2) This February 14th is Valentines Day, a day of celebration for most. For our family, it is a reminder of what we lost. Eight years ago, our daughter Jaime was murdered in the Parkland shooting. Following this, we started our foundation Orange Ribbons For Jaime. lmgfl.com/orange-ribbo...
