During a congressional visit, Congressman Joaquin Castro discovered that babies as young as two months old are being held at the Dilley, Texas Family Concentration Camp. (February 10, 2026)

I was watching a documentary that explored the hiding of people in physical spaces as being a key indicator of - and a key part of resistance against - fascism. If people don’t see it now, it’s because they don’t want to. It’s so sad and maddening. How can this be happening again?!?!?

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”

There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

Is ICE building a “black box” detention center where you live?

The rogue agency is spending hundreds of millions of dollars buying up empty warehouse space across the country to hold detainees.

Here’s what you should know — and what can be done about it.

Unreasonable poll taxes are part of the plan. We are literally regressing as a country.

This is the second time an ICE employee has been arrested in in a Bloomington, MN underage sex trafficking sting www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

How is it possible that anything about the funding fight does not include at the absolute minimum releasing every child from these concentration camps?

JUST IN: DOJ is trying to help Steve Bannon erase his conviction for defying a subpoena from the Jan. 6 committee. Motion has no career prosecutor on it, just signed by US Attorney Pirro. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

“$5.2 million from Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago for increasing H.I.V. prevention therapy among Black women”

This is absolutely shameful and definitely not what the people of Massachusetts voted for.

This comes at the same time that the conservative movement is targeting young women more broadly—from tradwife bullshit to MAHA misinformation about birth control.

The goal is convincing the next generation that the rapid erosion of their rights isn’t a political crisis, but a lifestyle upgrade.

They're Coming for Our Daughters The conservative plan to shrink girls’ futures

The Heritage Foundation has released a 250-year roadmap to “save America.”

The document is a how-to guide for subjugating girls & young women: a detailed plan to push them out of college, funnel them into early marriage and motherhood, and then trap them there.

Don’t Be a Panican. We’re Winning — and We’re Not Slowing Down. The White House February 9, 2026 Under President Donald J. Trump’s leadership, this Administration is smashing through the chaos and destruction left by Democrats and unleashing the most aggressive pursuit of the America First agenda in history. While the Fake News and Radical Left collude to distract, depress, and divide, they’re simply lying to mask the undeniable truth: America is safer, stronger, richer, and more secure than at any point in decades. Don’t take the bait. New victories pour in daily as President Trump delivers on his promises and rebuilds the foundation for long-term success in the greatest nation on Earth. Here are a few things to celebrate from just the past few days:

As the Trump-Vance administration's approval tanks, the White House issues a new statement to Americans: "Don't Be a Panican."

In the past month, the admin murdered two Americans, was implicated even further in the Epstein Files, and attacked US Olympians and the most popular musician in the world.

Trump said he would end the war in Ukraine on Day 1.

Well, it's day 385 and while Putin continues his bloody assault on Ukraine, Trump has only cozied up to Russia & gotten played by Putin.

He's undermined Ukraine time and again and brought this war no closer to an end.

Screenshot of an X.com post by Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) quoting Rep. Adam Schiff criticizing the SAVE Act, saying Republicans have created distrust in elections by making claims of nonexistent fraud and are now using that distrust to justify voter suppression. Below is a TV still from ABC’s This Week showing Schiff speaking remotely with a host seated at a desk.

That is precisely what the GOP game plan is.

Everyone in the country remembers who was in the White House when insurrectionists stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021 to keep Donald Trump in power.

Except this man. He is simply too stupid.

So It’s child rape. It’s also just rape.

And it’s as if these defenders did not read the files or are just ignoring all the facts they find inconvenient to their justification of his crimes.

There is no excuse for any of it. It’s indefensible.

There has one (more) thing that has really been bothering me lately about the “they were teenagers so it’s ok” excuses that people like Douthat and his panel have been making.

It’s that there are dozens and dozens of allegations of forcible, violent rape by Jeffrey Epstein in those files.

Ossoff: "You're seeing what I'm seeing, right? The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."

Imagine believing it's "strategic" to avoid calling out racism because that will somehow get you across some median voter line while never realizing it will shift the entire cultural and electoral reality toward a place where racism is socially accepted and even rewarded.

In Minnesota, ICE agents are illegally racially profiling residents, drawing weapons during arrests, claiming people’s citizenship documents are fake, and leaving people with long-lasting injuries.

There is no excuse for Democrats to continue funding these jackbooted thugs.

just a reminder that the united states is essentially operating a network of torture camps holding individuals in arbitrary detention, without access to appeal and rarely to counsel.

The “least racist president” took a dinner designed to host all of America’s governors and made it a whites only event

BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

GOP fast tracks monster voter suppression bill that could disenfranchise millions by requiring proof of citizenship at polls In the past few weeks, passing the legislation has been a unifying rally cry for Republicans, a welcome distraction from the party’s cratering public opinion polls.

Republicans are moving quickly to pass a bill requiring voters to show proof of citizenship both to register and at the polls ahead of the 2026 midterm elections — a move that experts warn could disenfranchise millions of Americans. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

If this is true--it cements the US-Russian alliance. The USA becomes formally the enemy of freedom. Own up to this Republicans.

I was reliably told that mandatory detention as a default rule was fine. Nothing to see.
