Big Sky Charlie 𓅡

It’s unbelievably frustrating to be constantly pitching these stories to left-leaning outlets, not being able to pay my bills, wondering if I should just give up on this beat because no one cares, only to have staff writers repeat my work without crediting me.

Screenshot of a map and table listing ICE warehouse purchase data.

🚨 New: We built a visual tracker of the warehouses ICE is targeting across the US.

Working off an idea from @actualkatherine.bsky.social, we’ve mapped active searches, canceled deals, and linked state property records.

i am trying not to joke about the Epstein stuff because it's so horrible but there's also this ridiculous element where it's like... discovering Dracula is real, he's taken over human society at the highest levels, he's involved in tons of evil and also he's a huge dipshit

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov both of you need to resign immediately and let someone else lead the democratic party, you ain't got the stones

finally, the ICE reform we’ve been waiting for: no masks unless you really want to wear them

#OtD 4 Feb 1924 175 @IWW members took on the Ku Klux Klan in Greenville, Maine, after KKK tried to threaten union organisers: "We are going to stick, and if the Klan wants to start something, the IWW are going to finish it". More in our podcast: workingclasshistory.com/tag/iww/

@jk_rowling · Feb 2 This is beyond silly. Neither I, nor anybody on my team, ever met, communicated with or invited Jeffrey Epstein to anything. https://x.com/girlslasttourr/girlslasttourrr/status/2018093016548778327

Justice.gov Epstein Files official Harry Potter and the Cursed Child play invite to Jeffrey Epstein

Peggy Siegal Company: "Hi just liet us know where you like to send the tickets. Rhys Kimmitt "the tickets are on their way to Peggy's office. Please deal with Lila to arrange pickup" CC Jeffrey Epstein "Rhys please deal with Jeffrey Epstein's assistant [redacted] She will send a messenger to pick up his two dinner tickets. Thanks so much! xoxo Peggy"

To Jeffrey Epstein Ryhs Kimmitt Marisa Frank and Lila Walker from Peggy "To whom this may concern Rhys...what was not clear?" "I was very explicit with my staff and you about TWO tickets for the DINNER for Jeffrey Epstein. What genius filled the ticket order? Why wasn't his name on the DINNER list at the door? What genius thought my friend would not have a plus one when we ordered TWO tickets. What robot at the door would not let him in? This has ruined what was a perfect everning for all of us. I am incredibly emarabassed by the rigid behavior of some child minded door guard. Jeffrey is a captain of international finance and a close personal friend of mine. I know this was not done on purpose but it still is terribly upsetting. Please find out who did this and send an apology note. Thank you so much. Peggy. Jeffrey...of all nights, I left my two phones home, I was actually looking for you all night, I was with Soon-Yi and she thought you were having dinner with her husband. I am so very sorry. What a screw up.

JK Rowling has not tweeted since openly denying that her team invited the world's most notorious child rapist to a kid's play despite evidence directly disproving her claims

Can comfirm from MN, as can anyone who lives here, that not a THING has changed except little Bovino isnt peacocking around the streets anymore. And there hasn’t been a third high-profile murder of a white person yet.

But the gestapo attacks haven’t stopped. At all! bsky.app/profile/jyse...

Remember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel?

Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again.

And they almost shot some kids in the process.

This is one of the most important cases that galvanized Black people in the late 40s through the 1950s. Almost every major Black leader had a comment about it. It is also one of the most successful defense committees that was organized in the 20th century. Almost no one knows about it today.

This has been in my head all week. Current draft:

Golden Fleece, spindle whorl
Linen wraps the ancient world
Tyrian purple tribute curled
Cloth as wealth across the world

Silk Road trade and caravan
Thread counts rise from land to land
Bayeux story, conquest planned
Sail and rope expand command

If they redeem themselves, they wouldn’t care if they got their status back and they might not even want it; that’s how redemption works; that’s what redemption is. What they want is exoneration for free, with a side order of vindication.

Incrementalists take it on the chin again. This is why they hate Mamdani. He's giving up the game that people in power HAVE POWER and don't solely exist to beg you for $5 every day. He's ruining the Democratic Party by showing voters that they have the power to do stuff instead of crouching in fear

I was a White House ethics lawyer.

I used to advise people not to even accept a free cup of coffee from someone who had interests before them. And staff followed those rules.

I can’t even find the words to describe the scale of Trump’s corruption here.

IWW IU 520 (Railroad Workers) PRESENTS: TROLLEY PROBLEM SOLUTION "Slip the switch" by flipping it while the trolley's front wheels have passed through, but before the back wheels do. This will cause a controlled derailment bringing the trolley to a safe halt.

I always feel the need to remind editors that the people of Rojava are not all Kurds. There are still Arabs in the SDF and of course Armenians and Yezidis. Nonetheless the friends are defending their revolution in difficult times and could use your solidarity.

But even before that, I was on mass calls in late November and December that had hundreds of thousands of people on them.

The moral of the story is that a lot of things happen that pundits NEVER SEE. Take heart in that and keep pushing.

In Feb 2025, when pundits and others were saying that "no one was doing anything" and that the "resistance was dead," I clearly said that this was absolutely not true. I said AT THE TIME that the elites were complicit but the people WERE NOT. By mid Feb, Tesla Takedowns were starting... +

Opposition party doing so good that they’re gonna pass a law that exists already and tell us it’s a win 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

the demands schumer laid out, in light of existing rules and current ICE practices, are not a serious effort at modifying ICE’s behavior in any meaningful sense. they’re an attempt to mollify the base with meaningless bullshit without actually changing anything so they can move on to affordability

Of the biggest scandals in US history just this week, I think I’d rank them:

1) Federal paramilitaries invade US city based on racist lies, murder US citizens

2) Slush fund for the president from stolen foreign resources held in Qatar

3) Whatever FBI and DNI are doing re: 2020 election in Georgia

Larry Krasner every damn time

God bless the people who are going out there and directly confronting these fucking cowardly Democratic politicians. Thank you.

The phrase "Gotcha Doomerism" has been coined by @kibblesmith.com and it's perfect for describing people who otherwise share my politics.

They believe they've already gamed out every possible reason something won't work politically. And it's almost always because they're stuck in 1990s centrism.

They don’t think, they collaborate.

I will simply never recover from reading this sentence:

"Since Georgia implemented work requirements in 2020, they have spent twice as much on Deloitte consultants and administrative costs as on healthcare for people."

Senator,

If the problem is that ICE is refusing to follow existing laws against murder and assault, what makes you think they’ll follow your new laws?

Who enforces any of this? Trump’s DOJ?
