John Miller’s building materials company is also downtown. He and others formed a group called One Circle Community Coalition last July with concerns about plans to bring datacenters to the area. The group of about 150 locals includes “liberal Democrats and staunch conservatives”, he said. The coalition held a public meeting 6 January on ICE’s plans, and sent a four-page letter to the homeland security department on 29 January.

anti-data center groups pivoting to anti-ICE concentration camp groups. we love to see it.

Honestly when you add in the harms of giant warehouses for distribution it kind of seems like we shouldn't allow warehouses of this scale to exist at all

I'm right here.
Big fan. 🪭
thanks!

During protests in Iran last month, government forces killed 7,000 protesters, most of them gunned down over three nights. Today big crowds of student protesters rallies at three top universities, chanting “Death to the dictator” and “Our target is the entire system.”

Courage.

Special Saturday Triad: What I Saw at the Battle of Minneapolis The national media has moved on. Minnesota is still under siege.

"You now live in a country where volunteers deliver babies at home, in secret, off the books, because mothers fear that if they go to the hospital, they will be abducted by masked, armed agents of the state while giving birth. This is not a hypothetical."

So this is terrifying.

I don’t always agree with Lt. Gen. Hertling - @markhertling.bsky.social - however, this is one of the best speeches I’ve heard in a long time. 🥲 Thank you, General. 🫡

Poland and France will get there first and inform the rest of us on the trafficking, money laundering, blackmailing and Thiel and Bannon shenanigans etc. … it’s become an imperative to expose and understand “The Epstein Class”.

There is a big difference between a PARTISAN take over of VOTING and the more sanitized language the legacy media has --entirely on its own -- translated to "nationalizing ELECTIONS."

I will be writing more about this key distinction soon... bit.ly/4qmEiFz

@markhertling.bsky.social: "The world is now standing at the potential grave of our credibility and they're asking if we understand the weight of what we've been given and what we need to do to get it back."

More than 75,000 Post readers cancelled their subscriptions after the recent cuts. An even larger number bailed after Bezos killed the endorsement of Harris, but now the decline feels terminal. Bezos does not want a great paper with a conservative opinion page (like the Wall Street Journal). He seemingly barely wants a paper at all, treating one of the most important American media institutions like an embarrassing child from a previous marriage that no longer fits his lifestyle.

This sounds unbelievable but its true: since Bezos acquired The Post, his wealth has grown tenfold and the Post has been cut in half.

You are almost certainly not aware of the full extent of what the government is doing in Minneapolis, and what it portends for all of us if they succeed. lnk.thebulwark.com/46kVMuT

Reading the story is intense. Watching this TV report, which interviews his son... is beyond heartbreaking. Paulino's death is a national disgrace, among so many others. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlIF...

This seems right to me. Breaking Trump serves the Europeans , and this is how to do it.

we have a completely dysfunctional Court at this point

I hope John Roberts signed all his mortgage paperwork correctly

IMPORTANT: It appears there’s a chance that the Trump-Vance White House is going to defy a federal court order to allow Pope Leo’s top ally Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich and Catholic clergy to enter the facility for Ash Wednesday Mass.

This would be a historic confrontation between Trump and Leo.

“If this guy isn’t impeached and removed, what’s the point to the whole Constitution? You can’t have a fucking criminal running the government for his own benefit screwing the people. And that’s what we have.”

A fake ICE tip line reveals neighbors reporting neighbors A Nashville comedian’s deportation hotline, set up as a joke, has gone viral among viewers who say it shows the “banality of evil personified” in the U.S. immigration crackdown.

New: A comedian set up a fake ICE tip line as a joke. Then 100 calls flooded in: neighbors ratting on neighbors, a teacher reporting a kindergartener. Fans say the viral TikToks revealed deportation's "banality of evil." Conservatives say he should be in prison wapo.st/4kM4qbF

i've decided not to listen to the audio of a teacher reporting a kindergartender because frankly I don't want to become the person that that event would turn me into. but one thing I hope we are collectively coming to grips with is what it meant that we have lived among such people this whole time

Deterring Russia is the only effective long-term strategy for dealing with Moscow.

It’s about making the Kremlin see a simple reality every day: war comes at too high a cost. Deterrence must work not just until the end of the current conflict, but far beyond -
