8. I would be remiss if I did not mention that the Epstein files shows the extent to which old political alliances are compromised. It’s depraved. It is also unfortunately capitalism. Tech elite has the money to shape public opinion and intervene in state law because of that cabal of exploitation.

Hey, remember that time I said that pointing out that AI is giving bad data to ICE is missing the point because ICE doesn't actually care if the data is good? Check out how right I am.

Despite the cold and snow, Ukrainians in villages near the border came out to greet our Defenders returning from Russian captivity!

Imagine your sweet, little 9-year-old girl was abducted and taken to a torture mill.

This is happening in our name on our dime.

Children are being abducted, detained, deprived of medical care & given moldy or worm infested food & foul water.

This email between Epstein and JD Vance’s tech oligarch benefactor Peter Thiel where they plan to “collapse” society to create investment opportunities for themselves seems… not great

(They also met with the UN ambassador to Russia together)

This cannot be something a civilian law enforcement agent is allowed to wear in the US — and an agency that has a culture that tolerates this cannot be saved.

DHS Hunts Down 67-Year-Old U.S. Citizen Who Criticized Them in Email The Department of Homeland Security is using a little-known tool to go after its critics.

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

Melinda French Gates is a class act for how she’s speaking about this. She doesn’t stigmatize STIs (most of which are treatable or preventable with antibiotics and antivirals) or spew cruelness or vitriol on the victims (unlike some people I’ve seen). The real villains are her ex husband and Epstein

Attorney General James Launches Legal Observation Project to Monitor Federal Immigration Enforcement in New York NEW YORK – New York Attorney General Letitia James today announced the launch of the Legal Observation Project, a new Office of the Attorney General (OAG)

statewide and, when appropriate, assign trained observers to watch and record those actions as they happen. The announcement noted that these observers will gather details that may be relevant to future legal proceedings and are directed not to interfere with or obstruct enforcement efforts.

This is how mainstream media need to frame their stories:
"Tulsi Gabbard, who is prohibited from participating in domestic law enforcement as director of national intelligence ..."

WRONG. I-205 administrative warrants are not issued by immigration judges. They’re signed by ICE officers. And EVEN IF THEY WERE issued by an immigration judge - they are executive branch employees, NOT judicial branch. JUDICIAL warrants are needed to enter a home without consent.

AOC on ICE: It’s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.

"Principles of antifa"

SEOUL, Jan 13 (Reuters) - South Korea's special prosecutor on Tuesday requested the death penalty for former president Yoon Suk Yeol on charges of insurrection over his brief imposition of martial law in December 2024.

Jeffrey Epstein emailing Peter Thiel: Finding things on their way to collapse was much easier than finding the next bargain. ... Return to tribalism. Counter to globalization. Amazing new alliances.

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

So the next step from democrats is: “it is illegal to do this without approvals and in 2029 we will hold all companies that take part criminally liable and seize all their assets to pay for restoration.”

Her messages are 8 minutes apart? Haha. Mental.

I hope someday we defeat fascism and in the far future, No Kings Day is celebrated as a federal holiday, and little children leave out dance mixtapes and cookies for the Resistance Frog, who leaves pocket Constitutions in their shoes.

The Real Reason ICE Agents Wear Masks Face-coverings may work less to protect federal agents from danger than to make it easier for them to do unconstitutional things.

No masks on cops. No masks on cops. No masks on cops. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

ICE's Use of AI Will Lead to Big Mistakes. Maybe That's the Point Cybersecurity experts say that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement seems to be indifferent to how their artificial intelligence tools work.

Sometimes I get a really good quote in.

“Pointing out that AI is prone to giving ICE bad information is missing the entire point of ICE,” EFF’s @evacide told @RollingStone. “They don’t care if the information they have is good.”

A community is devastated after ICE raids an LA church and arrests a congregant during a church event.

“This was a violation of our Sacred Right to Worship and Serve our Lord Jesus Christ Freely and Safely.” ~ Church officials, in a press release

Oligarchy (noun):

A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

Folks:

This is important.

SHEAR—the Society for Historians of the Early American Republic (a GREAT organization)—is tracking examples of the regime erasing history.

🧵"Ochoa is a Border Patrol agent who joined CBP in 2018. Gutierrez joined in 2014 and works for CBP’s Office of Field Operations."

Stopping ICE alone will not stop the madness. CBP will fill the void-and they are only supposed to operate 100mi from the border.

👇🎯 Not once has the national media asked a GOP politician about affording ICE the way Biden/the Dems were asked about the cost of
student loan debt relief & literally everything else for the last 50 years.
