It’s perhaps under-discussed as a factor in our national mess that even people at the heights of the Republican Party are often incredibly stupid.

I Caught POLITICO and the New York Times Laundering Pink Slime "News" How the sexist backlash to AOC and Gretchen Whitmer at the Munich Security Conference led me to a scammy "local news" outlet pushing a coordinated right-wing narrative

nice exploration of how right wing propaganda and "pink slime" newspapers (fake local papers built by right wing propagandists to lie to locals) propped up the whole AOC "um" non news cycle

Seeing Trump and Kash Patel interact with the men’s hockey team is a solid example of how misogyny functions as a male bonding ritual. Patel is clearly trying to impress the athletes and Trump, Trump is trying to impress the athletes, and the athletes are trying to impress the president

Upon review of the unopposed Motions, and consistent with the Court’s authority to enforce its own orders and control the dissemination of discovery materials generated in this case, the Court agrees with the parties’ uniform view. Release of Volume II outside the Department of Justice would plainly offend the Court’s Dismissal Order [ECF No. 672] and the Rule 16 Protective Order [ECF No. 27], both of which remain in force; it would cause irreparable damage to former defendants from disclosure of non-public discovery material implicating still-contested grand jury and privilege concerns; and it would contravene basic notions of fairness and justice in the process, where no adjudication of guilt has been reached following initiation of criminal charges. The Court reasons as follows.

NEW: Judge Aileen Cannon permanently forbids the Department of Justice from releasing Volume II of Jack Smith's report on his prosecution of Trump. Also bars DOJ from sharing "any information or conclusions" from the volume. A sweeping, perpetual gag order. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Shaver was a Border Patrol agent for over 20 years, mostly working in Ohio, according to his LinkedIn profile. He retired in 2023, and rejoined DHS in 2025 as ICE and Border Patrol surged into areas like the Twin Cities, where he had a 30-day assignment, according to the police report. Shaver is one of several Sandusky, Ohio Border Patrol agents accused in a 2012 lawsuit of racially profiling Latino residents. A federal judge ruled in 2016 their actions did not violate the constitution.

A federal immigration agent deployed to Minnesota accidentally fired his handgun in an Eagan hotel, shooting a bullet through the wall and into the headboard in an adjacent room. Eagan police were dispatched to the Hampton Inn at 3000 Eagandale Place shortly before 6:30 p.m. on Dec. 18 after agent Bradley Shaver, 53, shot his Glock 19 while attempting to change out a part on the handle, according to a police report reviewed by Sahan Journal. The bullet went through the agent’s sweatshirt pocket, through the wall and into the neighboring room, according to the report. The room’s occupant, Aaron Wukawitz, had just checked into the hotel and was walking down the hallway to his room when he heard the gunshot. He got into his room and heard the federal agent cursing and panicking. A bullet was stuck in the headboard above a bedside table. “That could have literally killed me,” Wukawitz told Sahan Journal.

Kristi Noem rehired a retired CBP officer w/a history of racism, and he nearly got himself and an innocent bystander killed with insanely irresponsible gun handling.

Donald Trump was the president when this stand down order was issued…

Minnesota school districts say federal agents still causing daily disruptions School leaders say that ICE activity is continuing to interrupt daily life for students, staff and families despite the announced end of the two-month surge of federal immigration agents.

“On Feb. 4 — the day border czar Tom Homan announced a ‘drawdown’ of 700 agents — Lewis said ICE agents posed as journalists outside a Fridley school wearing bright orange bands on their arms reading ‘press.’”

“‘They were yelling and screaming at our staff, yelling and screaming at parents’”

As I have watched measles cases in my home state of SC skyrocket to almost 1,000, I wondered why I hardly ever heard anything about the severity of complications. Here’s what I found.

Isn't this just Christ-washed child trafficking?

The most disturbing part is knowing ICE left a little girl alone and didn’t care.

Annabella was six years old when her dad was detained by ICE while he was picking up their food order. She stayed inside, waiting.

He never returned to her that day.

ICE detained a Minnesota teen, labeled him an ‘unaccompanied minor,’ and lost him The Trump administration is apprehending and designating immigrant kids as “unaccompanied,” even as their parents in the U.S. search for them.

‘No one deserves this’: Beaverton father dies after deportation to Mexico A Beaverton family is grieving after the father, who was detained and deported by ICE, has now died.

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported.

He finally died.

I am so angry.

Why are folks not asking more questions about this FBI complaint in the Epstein Files?

www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

Even now, too many people simply refuse to admit what is happening. Whitewashing continues from the media and key institutions among civil society. We are in deep trouble. Time to say it together, out loud.

this is how i witnessed an ICE kidnapping in western mass, i paid a $250 bail for a woman accused of trespassing (right...) and ICE snatched her as soon as we got out the door

This is heartbreaking. There aren't enough words to describe the monsters that kept this father from his dying daughter.

One thing to understand is that jackasses like me graduated from law school basically believing that, while nothing like <all this> was realistic in our lifetimes, if it did happen, then our Supreme Court with all its flaws would respond roughly like this judge did, maybe 9-0.

Liberals can win on immigration through this 1 simple trick - get the basic facts out (immigration is good for the economy & for America) after overthrowing the right-wing corporate and techbro fascist control of key organs of media, such as CBS, the NYT, the Washington Post, etc.

A Fatal ICE Shooting Occurred in Texas Months Before Renee Good’s Killing

ICE killed a US citizen last March. Their involvement wasn’t reported until now.

How many more stories have yet to be revealed?

So, if we eliminate property taxes, how do we pay for police and parks? Magic? News and commentary for Floridians who care about their communities

The insanity of Florida rolling back property taxes without having a plan to replace the resulting loss in revenue for local governments is discussed by @tropicpress.bsky.social...

The fact that none of these ICE agents jumping out of unmarked vehicles in masks have been shot in the face is proof positive that they are not in fact jumping out on armed gang members and are actually only arrested random day laborers and nannies.

Lutnick standing next to Trump after “I took my nannies and kids to Epstein Island” the day after Andrew’s arrest is quite the visual.

My dream is for the ballroom to be used for public trials of all these bastards and then torn down.

Needless to say, there’s no way this scale is consistent with lawful due process — Trump is only hiring 100 new immigration judges. These concentration camps are intended to be so awful that detainees “voluntarily” agree to self-deport to end the trauma. More: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/accountabi...

Members-only Philly cop bar has been linked to two DUIs — and a third crash kept secret, until now Anna Wakeman still questions why 7C Lounge bartenders didn’t stop serving the officer who crashed into her house and upended her life five years ago.

"The cops can drink as much as they want there...The bartenders serve them till they're blackout drunk and let them leave." Quote from a woman who was hit by a drunk-driving cop *while sitting in her living room.* This story from the @inquirer.com is a hell of a thing. share.inquirer.com/yynTQX

Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States.

Doug Wilson and his abusive cult in Moscow, Idaho are a clear and present danger and for once I’d like to see pundits taking these Christian supremacists at their word and writing about their current influence.

They have been saying repeal 19A for YEARS.
