'Even in Russia, they don't treat children like this': A family's nightmare in ICE detention A Russian couple and their children sought asylum in the U.S. In a Texas detention center, they say they endured worms in the food and hourslong waits for medicine.

Worms in their food. Guards shouting orders and snatching toys. Restless nights under fluorescent lights that never fully go dark.

A Russian family says their children have endured indignities they never imagined possible in the U.S. during their four months at a Texas detention center.

The impact, thus far, in Minneapolis:
This corrupt administration and Fake Law Enforcement have done enough damage.
To date: $203 Million Dollars.

Because when I go to a 7-11. I think health food.

Part of that was the anti-Harris movement and her stance on Israel. Ironic, yes, I know. It won't happen, but it would be rather interesting if ICE made a genuine move into Hamtramck. Trump going after a genuine conservative Muslim city would be worth the watch.

Trump thought his threat to block the Detroit-Windsor bridge to punish Canada would thrill the base. But here's a shocker: Working people in Michigan actually like the region's economic interdependence with Windsor!

In honor of Black History Month, here's a thread with one book recommendation a day.

Chick Webb.

#BlackHistoryMonth

William Henry “Chick” Webb was born on this day in 1905 in Baltimore. He was a jazz and swing drummer who was crowned the “King of the Savoy” for his orchestra’s dominance of the “Battle of the Bands” contests at Harlem’s legendary Savoy Ballroom. /1

The Epstein money trail leads straight to 45*!

45* sent FOUR THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE (4725) wire transfers to Jeffrey Epstein.

They totaled over $1.1 billion. 😱

The real TDS.

Trump's tariffs cost American households $1,000 last year: Research group President Donald Trump’s tariffs cost the average American household $1,000 last year, according to new research from the nonpartisan Tax Foundation.

This is a tax on you.

You paid $1,000 more in a tax because of Trump.

Disturbingly detailed analysis of my first rewatch incoming

Yes, it's true. The US Attorney's office in New York prepared a draft of an announcement of Epstein's death that is dated one day BEFORE Epstein died.

Nothing fishy here....

I see the difference which is why I don't care about the impact of alt-history. Me playing said game(which I haven't nor intend to) doesn't makes we want to be a Nazi sympathizer. I don't go and play your game and want to be part of a faction on Mars either.

100,000 Homes: Housing the homeless saves money? Giving apartments to the chronically homeless can save taxpayer dollars, advocates say

Anderson Cooper: “So it's more expensive to have a chronically homeless person living on the streets than it is to actually subsidize an apartment for them?”

Answer: “Yes, we’re paying more as taxpayers to walk past that person on the street and do nothing…” #HousingFirst

As compared to the actual WWII games involving Germany so many people play? Germany winning in any wargame during that time period meant the Nazis won. That doesn't make it Nazi propaganda. Hell, Nuklear Winter '68 is alt history with Nazi. I guess that Nazi propaganda too.

Cody called it chilling and said he was thankful something like it didn't happen. Needless to say, I had a rather different take away than you.

Epstein’s network included Russian tech investors with past Kremlin ties Documents released by the Justice Department show that Epstein had links with Russian tech investors who had drawn scrutiny from U.S. intelligence officials.

My story on how Epstein worked with a former leader of Putin’s youth movement, who promised him racy pictures and introduced him to an emigre who helped build out Russia’s quantum computing initiative. His security company was banned from U.S. intelligence deals last year. Giftish. wapo.st/4ccTtxy

Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

NEW: A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

I hope lawyers, secretaries of state, and state attorneys general are preparing for what’s coming.

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.

What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?

I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”

Trump’s FBI raid could lead to a takeover of elections in Georgia’s largest county Trump wants control "over the voting in at least 15 places.” He could start in Fulton County, Georgia.

Pay attention to this now. Trump is signaling his desire to rig the midterms.

We haven't even got the Trump phone yet.

My client is one of the big phone companies. Part of what I do is manage employee data. At the end of December there were roughly 150 people let go. Last two weeks have had 8 more let go. There's another dump coming at the end of Feb. At no point during Trump 2.0 has their been an upward trend.

Sounds like the quote is 440,000.
