🧊 "We're going to get an ICE detention facility before we get a grocery store!"

It's starting! New Hampshire State Representative David Nagel has just announced today he’s switching his party affiliation from the Republican Party to the Democratic Party. Expect to see more of this finally happening.

My story on Elon Musk cutting safeguards at xAI is on the front page of today's @washingtonpost.com. I’m also among 100’s of reporters laid off. I absolutely loved my job my brilliant coworkers & the thrill of reporting @ the center of forces upending the world: AI & Silicon Valley’s political power

Lamont to ICE: 'Go home. We're keeping CT safe without you.' ctmirror.org/2026/02/04/c...

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

Now, more than ever, we must remember the cemeteries are full of irreplaceable men.

In less than a week the Kennedy Center has effectively closed and our local DC paper has been gutted, both by billionaires. I don’t think immigrants are our problem in this country.

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

Update: In the past week we've learned ICE has secured property to build human warehouses in Merrimack, NH and Williamsport, MD *as well as* Surprise, AZ; Upper Bern, PA; and Tremont, PA. Facts that bear repeating.

The Wall Street Journal says it was a "rare misstep" when Stephen Miller called Alex Pretti a terrorist. Just how rare, WSJ? I'm asking because every one of Miller's steps seems like a misstep to me.

Voter intimidation

Btw— — ON REPENTANCE has both general and Christian- focused discussion guides! Christian clergy friends, just in time for Lent!!

I'm buying a kitchen and they sent a sample of the marble counter top with a metal ball showing what the sink will be like. Now my desk looks like a 90s 3D rendering tool demo image.

#MorningVibe Resist with joy. Volume 🆙

A sniff for the sniffles? UMD’s nasal spray could fight flu, COVID and colds

Reporter: Do you plan to apologize to the family of Alex Pretti? Vance: For what?

😯😬

WELL WELL *cracks knuckles* you all remember what to do

@sarahkendzior.bsky.social has more grace than one should as other people “discover” the truth about the oligarchs and they’re pedophile ring. “The rot goes deep,” they are saying. Um, YEAH. Buy Sarah’s books if you haven’t. Support her substack. substack.com/@sarahkendzior

YEEESSSSS! LET'S GO!

Can’t wait to see what kind of deal we make to keep funding this bustling hub of fascism techcrunch.com/2026/02/03/h...

This is civic action. Surprise, Arizona. Pop. 167,000. Huge crowd shows up to the City Council meeting to oppose DHS recent purchase of ginormous warehouse. Meeting + overflow room filled and hundreds more gathered outside. 130 people sign up to speak. 128 opposed to ICE warehouse.

The hits just keep on coming. @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/02/03/u...

Judge Berman has called off tomorrow’s conference on the Epstein files after victims’ lawyers said the DOJ was receptive to their complaints about the disastrous redactions process and will address deficiencies “expeditiously”

In no functioning country is this allowed.

Martinez: "[I] sat in federal court and watched from 20 feet away as the border patrol agent who attempted to kill me testified at a hearing. Agent Charles Exum—Charles Exum, my attempted executioner was Charles Exum—I hope the government does not consider my use of his name here to be...doxxing."

She’s asking about the Epstein victims And He’s telling @kaitlancollins.bsky.social to smile. I want to scream.

I’m sharing Aliya’s entire opening statement. We owe it to her, and those who no longer have a voice, to watch. youtu.be/zrcW8SZtYpI?...

continue to think that if instead of "raw milk" we called it "doodoo milk" people would understand the risk proposition

This is a million times worse than anything Hunter Biden was accused of doing in even the most fevered right-wing conspiracy dream

I just got off the phone with Elizabeth's dad...she and her mom were freed tonight! Updated story: sahanjournal.com/education/co...

Please watch. Nonviolent resistance works.

Minneapolis gets nominated for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize for defending human rights & community care. Somewhere Trump is rage-posting in ALL CAPS, throws ketchup, blames immigrants, demands recount. History really said not you🤡 Community. Peace. Solidarity. People power works. 🕊️✊ #SheShed

Here’s what they found: Women are interrupted more often than men—by about 10–20% in economics seminars. Those interruptions are more likely to: - Cut women off mid-sentence - Come from men - Be adversarial rather than clarifying in nature

Since the reporters won’t walk out en mass when he insults one of their colleagues, I’m not listening to any of them. You are what you repeatedly tolerate. So they must have no respect or honor. Don’t give me ‘but they would lose their jobs’. Please, I’ve walked away from better for my honor

Yeah, that is a hard no on yet another blatant attempt to run roughshod over the US Constitution.

I'm with her 🔥🔥

Casar holds a 3 minute and 26 second moment of silence to represent the time in which DHS officers let Renee Good bleed out after she was shot

They told us there was no money for healthcare. No money for kids. No money for families drowning in medical bills. But there’s always money for ICE. More cages. More raids. More cruelty. That’s not a budget problem. That’s a values problem. Fund care, not punishment. #FundHealthcareOverICE

NEW EPISODE: Rick Wilson joins me to break down how Trump’s inner circle is testing the system ahead of 2026, why the Epstein files are uniquely destabilizing his base, and how corruption and chaos are reshaping the midterms. youtu.be/PNLIhrjLEpo?...
