They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

Oh! Just wait til they get to build their own nuclear power plants (it’s already on the lobbying agenda).

Kash Patel’s use of jet delayed FBI team’s mass shooting response, whistleblower tells top senator Sen. Richard Durbin says FBI director’s “misplaced priorities” led to the delayed response to the Brown University shooting in December.

Breaking MS NOW:

Agents with the FBI's elite evidence response team were delayed in reaching the scene of a mass shooting at Brown U. in December because there was no FBI plane available.

Kash Patel was in south Florida at the time with one of the FBI's two available jets.

“Nothing humbles you like telling your OpenClaw ‘confirm before acting’ and watching it speedrun deleting your inbox,” Yue said. “I couldn’t stop it from my phone. I had to RUN to my Mac mini like I was defusing a bomb.”

And yes, she shared her experience with an out of control AI agent from Openclaw that can be empowered to perform certain tasks with little human supervision.

Wow! Huge protest against a new ICE concentration camp warehouse in Romulus Michigan. I've never seen anybody in Romulus protest against anything before. Protesters and cops all over the place right now.

NEW: Documents from two anonymous whistlebowers obtained by Sen. Blumenthal's office shed light on how DHS has lowered training & testing standards for new recruits to meet ambitious hiring targets for ICE Enforcement Removal Operations officers ahead of public forum today 🧵

Former ICE instructor will testify as whistleblower that agents taught to violate Fourth Amendment The instructor, who is an attorney, plans to tell a forum sponsored by Congressional Democrats that the procedures in entering homes are not taught appropriately.

A former ICE instructor is expected to testify that new agents are trained to run roughshod over constitutional rights, including the right against a home invasion, and that the federal agency is “broken."

ICE whistleblower comes forward to testify before Congress Ryan Schwank, a former ICE academy instructor, is expected to testify that ICE “is lying to Congress and the American people” about its training program.

An ICE whistleblower is expected to testify at a congressional forum today that the agency is "lying to Congress and the American people" about its training of new recruits.

Ryan Schwank was an ICE academy instructor for new recruits before he resigned earlier this month.

Once again we are asking: Why was Kash Patel paid $25,000 by a company linked to the Russian government?

When a payment from a production company for $25,000 showed up on Kash Patel's disclosures during his confirmation hearing, we did some digging. And soon, the story began to unravel.

DoJ cases against protesters keep collapsing as officers’ lies are exposed in court String of embarrassing defeats for prosecutors as experts condemn DoJ effort to cast people as ‘violent perpetrators’

"In Chicago, of 92 people arrested for assaulting or impeding officers last fall, 74 cases have resulted in no charges; in 13 cases, charges were filed and dismissed; and five charged cases were still pending. . . there have been no convictions.

Manufactured doubt on the safety of vaccines has led to trying to fast track a “study” in Guinea-Bissau “testing” their efficacy by depriving infants of access to the Hep B vaccine.

the Tuskegee experiment is not just a historical monstrosity, it’s a warning.

An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.

In a note embedded on top of an FAQ question, “What is the average length of stay for the aliens?” Tim Kaiser, the deputy chief of staff for US Citizenship and Immigration Services, asked David Venturella, a former GEO Group executive whom The Washington Post described as an adviser overseeing an ICE division that manages detention center contracts, to “Please confirm” that the average stay for the new mega detention centers would be 60 days. Venturella replied in a note that remained visible on the published document, “Ideally, I'd like to see a 30-day average for the Mega Center but 60 is fine.”

NEW: DHS left embedded comments in a PDF outlining its plans to warehouse immigrants, identifying the architects and laying bare the gross extent of its regulatory capture. Great scoop by @regret.bsky.social:

My profile of Congressman Cory Mills is based on interviews with 18 people who have known the Florida Republican from his youth to the present day.

There's stolen valor, a restraining order, a failed grenade company, sex workers, a Trump endorsement, and much much more.

Here's what I found.

These guys are in charge

21-Year-Old's Body Found In Wooded Area Of Georgia Park The unidentified 21-year-old man was found Feb. 14 in Fair Oaks Park in Marietta, Georgia, northwest of the city of Atlanta.

Black man found hanging in Marietta ga. a couple of days ago. No news coverage again. Likely not a suicide as they are again trying to say. Statistically speaking Black people don’t hang ourselves from trees. Any guess of who would do this?!

The political effects of X's feed algorithm https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-026-10098-2 Received: 16 December 2024 Accepted: 4 January 2026 Published online: 18 February 2026 Open access • Check for updates Germain Gauthier,5, Roland Hodler?5, Philine Widmer35 & Ekaterina Zhuravskaya3,4,5 m Feed algorithms are widely suspected to influence political attitudes. However, previous evidence from switching off the algorithm on Meta platforms found no political effects'. Here we present results from a 2023 field experiment on Elon Musk's platform X shedding light on this puzzle. We assigned active US-based users randomly to either an algorithmic or a chronological feed for 7 weeks, measuring political attitudes and online behaviour. Switching from a chronological to an algorithmic feed increased engagement and shifted political opinion towards more conservative positions, particularly regarding policy priorities, perceptions of criminal investigations into Donald Trump and views on the war in Ukraine. In contrast, switching from the algorithmic to the chronological feed had no comparable effects. Neither switching the algorithm on nor switching it off significantly affected affective polarization or self-reported partisanship. To investigate the mechanism, we analysed users' feed content and behaviour. We found that the algorithm promotes conservative content and demotes posts by traditional media. Exposure to algorithmic content leads users to follow conservative political activist accounts, which they continue to follow even after switching off the algorithm, helping explain the asymmetry in effects. These results suggest that initial exposure to X's algorithm has persistent effects on users' current political attitudes and account-following behaviour, even in the absence of a detectable effect on partisanship.

A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitter’s algorithmic feed significantly shifts people’s political views to the right.

Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement.

This is one of the most concerning papers I’ve read in awhile.

Silicon Valley’s Favorite Doomsaying Philosopher Nick Land believes that digital superintelligence is going to kill us all. In San Francisco, his followers ask: What if, instead of trying to stop an A.I. takeover, you work to bring it on as fast as ...

We should be talking a lot more about how the San Francisco tech scene is populated by a strange cult of doom acceleration nerds who fantasize about using computers to destroy humanity.

I received notification of yet another death at an ICE facility, meaning 38 people have died in custody since Trump returned to office.

ICE is failing to ensure the health and safety of the people it is responsible for.

We need immediate oversight of this entire operation.

No indication of any involvement yet, just something to keep an eye on.

"The agreement simplifies how DHS buys software from Palantir, allowing DHS agencies like Customs and Border Protection and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to essentially skip the competitive bidding process for new purchases of up to $1 billion in products and services from the company."

Also noteworthy that the Idaho Supreme Court just recently upheld the $52 million judgement against PRN, Bundy, & Rodriguez for when they attacked St Luke’s . And a federal court threw out Bundy’s bankruptcy play. Some of his followers have been issuing threats like this.

Treasure Valley Police Scanner Facebook post reads: Situation going on at Portico North, in the St. Luke's Meridian complex. A Canyon County ambulance was stolen and rammed into the lobby and poured gasoline inside the building. Police and fire crews are on scene.

Taken from (1) Facebook (2) generally right-coded community page. Take with grain of salt but also sometimes the authorities/scanners directly feed information. It's a guide point, not definitive data: this may be true.

X is absolutely cooking the brains of the entire political class that remains on there. The ones who think they're immune are probably the most affected.

Where will ICE strike next?

A leaked Palantir user manual obtained by @404media.co reveals how “aliens specifically targeted by Leadership” are attacked at the touch of a button.

You need to show ID to buy a beer. Why shouldn't you have to carry papers with you at all times to avoid being sent to ICE concentration camps?

Incredible story that is worth your time to read. It exposes the ways in which the Trump admin is turning the legal immigration system into yet another arm of the mass deportation machine, transforming a benefits agency into a trap for those seeking legal status.
