New addition to the bookshelf (hi randy)
🇺🇸 🏒 Captain hilary knight : “The joke was distasteful & unfortunate— Now I have to sit in front of you and explain someone else's behavior. It's not my responsibility… It’s a great teaching point to really shine light on how women should be championed for their amazing feats.”
Wow.
Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."
“Late Friday night, the Fifth Circuit adopted the extreme minority view—that the government can indefinitely detain without bond millions of non-citizens who have been here for generations; who have never committed a crime; and who pose neither a risk of flight nor any threat to public safety.”
AOC on ICE: It’s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.
As Black History Month begins, we honor the generations of Black New Yorkers who built this city into the “gorgeous mosaic” we call home.
Today, we reflect on the words of Mayor David Dinkins: our city’s first Black mayor (and a democratic socialist!).
The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

404 Media has published the full user guide for ELITE, the tool Palantir made for ICE to bring up addresses for deportation targets. @evystadium.bsky.social has more.

Georgia Fort, an independent journalist and vice president of the Minnesota NABJ chapter, was also arrested by federal agents this morning
I was sent this video of agents at her door:
i think this attitude — that all opposition is illegitimate and nothing we do can be questioned— is probably pervasive in the white house and helps explain why they keep making terrible political choices
💯 Every. Fucking. Word.
🇨🇦PM Carney just schooled our cowardly European leaders at #Davos. This speech was clearly aimed at them:
"We must actively take on the world as it is, not wait around for a world we wish to be."
"What does it mean for middle powers to live the truth? First it means naming reality..." (🧵1/6)
the question to ask about this is, okay, he wants to cancel the midterms. how does he get the VA state board of elections to cancel the midterms? how does he get the georgia board of elections to do it? how does he convince republican house members to quit their jobs and give up their paychecks?
Some ICE vehicles got taken and a streamer is saying that the entire MPLS city wide battle plan, operational overviews, tactical details and agent lists + id info just got found in the car lmao these clowns driving around with hatchbacks full of their whole shit like the villains in an immersive sim
ICE agents love to wave around paper that looks official. Most of it is a scam — administrative forms signed by ICE supervisors, not real judicial warrants signed by judges. Let's go through what that scam paper looks like versus a real judicial warrant.
I would super appreciate reposts/shares, turns out my lil dog Taro has little stars in his bladder and is having a 2100$ surgery today, thank you in advance! 🫠
Kristi Noem, herself, supplied the method used to ID the agent. She said he "been dragged by a vehicle” in an earlier incident.
@startribune.com reporters, who know their way around court records, quickly unearthed his name and confirmed his identity.
Folks remember that Tricia McLaughlin was caught lying about:
The LaMonica McIver incident
The Marimar Martinez shooting
The Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez shooting
Virtually everything about Kilmar Abrego
Virtually every other use of force incident
This is the video.
New, from me: The Trump administration isn’t just using social media to shape a narrative. They view the world through a social media lens in a way that is plausibly corrupting their judgment and undermining their performance.

A team of US scientists just cured Alzheimer’s in mice — and there is now hope that the disease can be reversed in humans.

It's Hermes Birkin bag and I believe it's a limited edition
CBS pulled the 60 Minutes CECOT segment, but Canada aired it anyway.
The segment was streaming via Global TV and YouTube (since taken down). Having a VPN set to Canada helped. 🇨🇦
My take, there is no reason we shouldn’t see this. Most of it was known information, easily searchable.

This made me genuinely laugh out loud.
People are treating Chris Whipple's Susie Wiles articles in Vanity Fair today as big news - the NYT even recapped them. But Wiles is no dummy; she knows how to work the press. These articles read like a Trump press release, excuse after excuse with no pushback. It's the anti-Chotiner interview. 1/
i'd say it did. the public put a group of thieves, vandals and extremists in office last november and they promptly went about destroying everything that might work to limit their ability to loot, steal and inflicting pain on the people they hate
NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.
Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.
WATCH - @tarapalmeri.bsky.social : “Hey Megyn Kelly… you want to hear the sound of one of the girls recruited from her nearby high school by Epstein? It is pedophilia. I would recommend you go listen to the audio from the police reports.”
