Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

The Atlantic Shame Gap Why Epstein-linked names trigger resignations in Europe—and shrugging in the United States.

European leaders named in the Epstein files are being forced out or resigning — a stark contrast to what’s happening in the U.S.

The political class and business elites would be happy to see attention to Epstein fade away. But the broader public won't allow it. They correctly sense something is rotten about the earlier investigations (or the lack thereof) and the current coverup...and they're right.

I'm worried that the broader public isn't really understanding the Epstein Files. The problem isn't that everyone in the files is a secret pedophile, it's that all the people are corresponding with him because they *don't care that he's a pedophile*. It's a story of elite impunity.

You can look at the Epstein files and conclude that only bad people have billions of dollars, but I think it’s also possible that having billions of dollars cauterizes your humanity

When they say Me Too "went too far," they mean "got too close."

The Boss comes through. Find Streets of Minneapolis on your streaming platform and make it the fastest adopted song in history.

YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Stay free

Lest we forget:

On Sat night, as Minnesotans braved Arctic cold to honor Alex Pretti and demand that ICE/CBP leave their state...

...Tim Cook was at the White House for "friends and family" premiere of payola-based 'Melania' movie. Also Andy Jassy, Amazon CEO.

Bezos was at fashion show in Paris.

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know.

This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

The Trump regime is smearing this man - Alex Pretti - as a “domestic terrorist.” We can’t let them get away with it.

Alex Pretti was a patriotic American - far more so than the ICE agent who murdered him on the streets of Minneapolis today. Far more so than Trump, Stephen Miller, or any of them.

Hey. Bag man is a title.

❤️❤️❤️

The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.

Which Republican politicians, wealthy fraudsters and drug dealers will Trump be pardoning this week for the minimum standard fee of $1 million?

I feel the same frustration. It’s worse since I am in New York.

NYC. Two iPhones reading sos, but two iPads working with Verizon cellular. Weird

Abolish ice is about to become a centrist position

These are the best views. It felt big but It’s so hard to capture the magnitude from street level. Thank you.

Naming a police officer is not doxxing. We aren’t supposed to have secret police in America.

When ICE said it was "going after the worst of the worst," we thought that was supposed to be their enforcement strategy, not their hiring philosophy

If the DEA had killed 80 innocent Americans in the course of apprehending one drug dealer, there would be riots. But we are so ghoulishly indifferent to the lives and humanity of people abroad that it's barely even part of the conversation.

But also, what prevents Canada from claiming the same authority over its neighbor(s). Hmmm.

Maduro must not be a pedophile. Otherwise Trump would be wishing him well.

Trump going on national television and essentially saying that we just annexed Venezuela and are going to steal its most precious natural resource and will kidnap any Venezuelan leader who disagrees may be the craziest presidential address of my lifetime

JFK in 1960 defined a liberal as someone who who fights for justice and civil rights, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigidity, who defends the vulnerable, and acts with principle. His bold words still challenge every one of us to stand up and do what's right.

Screenshot of an X post referencing a 2021 New York Times analysis comparing economic outcomes under Democratic and Republican presidents. Below the text is an image of the NYT headline reading, “Why Are Republican Presidents So Bad for the Economy?” with a subhead about GDP and job growth.

Republicans claim they’re better for the economy, but it hasn't been true for a century. Don't fall for it. They're better for the wealthy and that's it.

Ask yourself: If Donald Trump was a Russian asset, what would he be doing differently?

If your answer is “nothing,” then ask yourself this:

If the US President is a Russian asset, what should *I* be doing differently?
