- New Quinnipiac poll: 63% of voters disapprove of ICE 60% want ICE out of Minneapolis 58% want Kristi Noem removed from office

- Amazing. If a professional wrestling crowd is chanting "fuck ICE," it suggests to me that large swaths of the culture are not just upset over ICE tactics, they're coalescing against mass deportations as a broader ideological project. newrepublic.com/article/2060...
- A bus stop near Tesla's flagship store in London. Imagine a Super Bowl ad that showed only this.
- The Right has spent years trying to push a return to child labor and attacking age of consent laws. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that they’re exposing us to mountains of the most horrendous stuff imaginable while also normalizing it. So much of what’s happening is the destruction of childhood.

- the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex
- @wyden.senate.gov's record of warning that there is deep and constitutionally-serious dirt being done by the intelligence agencies in secret is unblemished. The vaguer he is, the filthier the dirt is. This is the vaguest I've ever seen him
- This is an important point. Empathy—in and of itself—is anti-fascist. The arts—and the project of higher education as a whole—teach empathy, enabling you to put yourself in other people’s shoes. So to a fascist, they must be destroyed.
- The war on empathy and the war on the arts are part of the same project. www.liberalcurrents.com/none-more-wo...
- cannot possibly convey how actually crazy-making it can feel, after spending 20 years monitoring all these orgs blaming sex workers and the internet for enabling a vast sex trafficking network, to now see Jeffery Epstein’s inbox
- money can absolutely buy happiness, you just suck at being rich like you suck at everything else in life
- If I die, I want my remains to be scattered at the US Capitol. Do not cremate me.

- What a useful resource for organizing.
- 🚨 New: We built a visual tracker of the warehouses ICE is targeting across the US. Working off an idea from @actualkatherine.bsky.social, we’ve mapped active searches, canceled deals, and linked state property records. Explore the map here: tinyurl.com/ICEWarehouse...
- No progress in Poland to ease the strict abortion ban because of anti-choice politics or reluctance in the gov't - but five years after Poland's top court gutted abortion rights, access to legal abortion has expanded a bit – only for women who learned to work within a system designed to say ‘no’.
- Ok, you all have schooled me on this MJF fellow and he seems delightful. Just the still of this moment continues to be QUITE FUNNY to me.
- One more comment on the Post debacle: this hurts journalism broadly. Good journalists will go do something else. The rest will be fighting for fewer jobs and everyone will earn less. Fewer people will take up the career. The damage done is to the ecosystem, as well as the paper.
- Really nuts how many men were like "Me Too went too far, and I need to email Jeffrey Epstein about it."
- A President can be impeached for Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors. Just how many of those are needed! SOS..send help. Things are not okay.

- Wow! What sounded like the entire AEW Dynamite audience in Las Vegas tonight chanted "Fuck ICE! Fuck ICE!" in unison before the main event

- I grew up with the Washington Post, wrote editorials for the Washington Post and published a column there for more than 15 years. To watch its owners destroy it, seemingly deliberately, in just a year and a half is devastating.
- This morning at the Minnesota State Capitol. An ice sculpture that reads "PROSECUTE ICE". I'm told the organization behind the sculpture is Common Defense.

- unraveled is *two* people, doing work that much bigger newsrooms aren't
- There is zero reason for a billionaire to own an adversarial news outlet in a kleptocracy. And so billionaires are gutting the media companies they own, reorienting them to better align with the regime, and spending money on bribes rather than journalists www.404media.co/the-washingt...

- Having worked with and learned from Marty Weil, it seems to me that if you're laying him off, you're functionally getting out of covering local news entirely. He was the beating heart of the Metro section. Interns used to try to get night cops duty just so they could hang out with him.
- Sixty years of excellent work at the Washington Post; a beloved figure there. The Bezos team just laid him off. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/05/b...

- Having literally written the book on the National Prayer Breakfast -- borne of the idea that God cares more for the rich and powerful than everyone else -- I can say this is the rare instance where Trump's grotesqueness is deeply appropriate.
- do not honestly know if this title is literal or metaphorical
- Name them shame them
- Nothing says prayer breakfast like concentration camps
- and coming up next at the national prayer breakfast we have this golden calf that we’re all worshiping now, lets get those hands in the air for the golden calf everybody
