- 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
- Charles Manson.
- 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
- Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power. They don’t want normal people to see what is happening in America.
- MacKenzie Scott has the chance to do the funniest thing right now.
- the $75 million Jeff Bezos set on fire for that Melania propaganda piece could have funded most independent newsrooms for literally decades
- “Within months, more than 1.4 million Black Louisianans could lose meaningful representation in Congress and at every level of government — not because they stopped voting, but because the U.S. Supreme Court may soon make it legal to erase their power.”
- I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.
- “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...
- A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world
- The guy who owns Amazon shutting down the books section of the Washington Post is beyond parody
- @jesseduquette.bsky.social Fuck Mitch McConnell 🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻

- It really is worth understanding what an escalation this is by the feds to be teargassing the big family friendly march
- Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com
- GOP Rep. Thomas Massie: “How will we know if this bill has been successful? We will know when rich men are being perp walked in handcuffs to the jail. Until then, this is still a coverup.” #EpsteinFiles
- Reminder that of all the people complicit in Epstein's crimes, the only person actually held accountable and sentenced was a woman. No men involved have yet to face consequences.
- The glitter guillotine is on the streets and I will no longer be responsible for anything until Ash Wednesday.
- Roman archaeologist here. These arches were emperors’ propaganda in the Empire, and they’re Orange Julius Caesar’s propaganda now.
- New at @washingtonpost.com: Trump wants to build a *250-ft-tall arch*, for America’s 250th anniversary The structure would tower over nearby memorials — changing DC’s skyline and blocking views of the Lincoln Memorial It’s also spooking experts who say it’s just too big

- I can officially confirm that the snow in NC is roughly one (1) corgi deep
- They’re taking kids from Minnesota and sending them to detention camps. They’re shooting American citizens in the street and locking investigators out of the crime scenes. The world is watching what happens next.

- Can’t believe they released the Epstein files to cover up for the Melania movie.
- I keep seeing posts going "when ICE comes to MY city, we'll be out in the streets even harder" and man, I get that sentiment but I need everyone to understand that the work in Minneapolis is partly confrontational but MORE IMPORTANTLY aaallll the stuff organized in the background to help neighbors
- I sometimes wish the Democratic Party in Congress consisted of any 260 people in the Minneapolis telephone directory rather than the 260 dignitaries now representing us.
- Be a real shame if one of the many journalists who follows me wrote this up and it went super viral and people followed him around throwing National Geographics at his head
- I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

- Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com
- to the extent that there is a “carrot” to trumpism it is the same carrot that slaveholders offered to lower class white men: “you can be an overseer”
- AOC reads Vance and his whining to filth.
- I wrote about my time in Minneapolis last week, about what is involved in creating bottom-up, decentralized networks of care. margaretkilljoy.substack.com/p/our-neighb...

- "ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know. This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.
- It feels weird to post this with everything going on. But--in case it brings a moment of joy or distraction: I got a dog
