- If you can, take a few minutes to watch us run through the parade of lies from DHS.
- We are deciding right now whether we want to be a country with ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.
- This is another effort that has taken a HUGE amount of local activism, led by community folks who care. It CAN be done. Get involved where you live and push back. www.elpasotimes.com/story/news/i...

- The chair of the first law firm that bent the knee to Trump’s extortion and agreed to do pro bono work for him is featured in the Epstein Files, you say? Huh.
- Brad Karp to step down as Paul Weiss chair after Epstein revelations ft.trib.al/H1vYT7B
- finally, the ICE reform we’ve been waiting for: no masks unless you really want to wear them
- going through some old photos and found this from years ago that i took in richmond. what a building!
- FINNEAS defends sister Billie Eilish amid online backlash over her anti-ICE comments at GRAMMYs: “Seeing a lot of very powerful old white men outraged about what my 24 year old sister said during her acceptance speech. We can literally see your names in the Epstein files.”
- Women who took their spouses’ last names (& others with name changes) could get around the birth certificate problem if they have passports. But not everyone has one. And getting one takes time & $$$. The GOP’s bill doesn’t even offer to cover the expense, making it equivalent to a poll tax.

- Don’t worry everyone, I have a plan to personally save journalism. I simply need to make a billion dollars and not be corrupted by my newfound wealth

- I wish I could interview the artist behind this
- Mind if I share some exciting news? We’ve officially raised over $45 MILLION for local bookstores 🥳

- Once again: if these LLMs could actually do all the things their owners claim, they wouldn’t be selling access. They would be building and selling all the things they claim their software can do.
- this is a great point and to that end: why isn't Anthropic building a salesforce competitor or whatever? Surely they could with the magic of Claude Code based on all the crap I've read

- The latest on Gabbard as fringe conspiracy drives her voting investigation: “The sources said the goal was to work with the FBI to investigate claims that Venezuela had hacked voting machines in Puerto Rico.”
- Normal people are out there doing extraordinary things. My mom's health aide emailed me: ICE took 2 of her neighbors; when she told them they weren't welcome, she was met w/a rifle. Now she's driving a neighbor to work hidden in the back of her car & escorting the neighbor's kids to the bus stop.
- “If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

- 1) PLEASE tell me this is real 2) lmao 3) elooooon, i have two solutions for your misery. one is to do the hard work of confronting the self centered fear underlying your massive ego. two? well I can't post it on this website lol
- Yes. Yes! Thank you
- It was @asharangappa.bsky.social who first put this idea in my head, but really starting to feel like they're gonna try to get Maduro to cop to some insane 2020 election conspiracy in exchange for leniency www.reuters.com/world/americ...
- this goes so fuckin hard ”A revolution must be started by yourself. An egg, opened from the outside, is food; opened from the inside, it is a new life.“ Ovum exteriore apertum cibus, interiore vita nova. Revolutio exteriore est incursio.

- One way for the media to win back the respect of viewers would be for them to show us that they have some self-respect of their own. When you let the president denigrate and humiliate your colleagues without saying a word, you're not really giving off a "holding the powerful to account" vibe

- it’s genuinely reassuring to me that this is the most miserable and paranoid person in the entire world

- These numbers are simply incredible. It's very clear that most ordinary people have figured out that ICE is not remotely functioning as a law enforcement agency any longer and that none of this is about enforcing the law in any recognizable sense.
- Vast camps are central to Trumpism. Stephen Miller has long been very excited about them. Backlash is another sign that opposition to Trump/Miller runs deeper than revulsion at ICE. There's real resistance to the whole ideological project of mass deportations. 4/ newrepublic.com/article/2060...
- yep. Obama FP was mid to awful but that was the best part and they never forgave him

- DC is actually being treated thoroughly as occupied territory. Tearing down monuments/media institutions, hostile takeover of its core economic engine and industry, suppression of its local municipal government and security forces
