Jeffrey Epstein's Deep Connections to Israel and Mossad In addition to Russia and the UK, Jeffrey Epstein's web of criminality and perversion extended to Israel and Mossad, including a relationship with former Prime Minister Ehud Barak.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Across from the Whipple building, Minnesota… this is how we do👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

Notes on winter When the world turns whimsical

"I want to take a few short moments to talk about winter, precisely because we can no longer take it for granted—it is, by all accounts, in the process of more or less disappearing."

Puerto Rico hasn't had reliable power in a decade.

The grid sends occasional surges through the wires that fry appliances.

Electricity rates are among the highest in the entire U.S.

Heat waves are getting intense in the summer, and outages mean A/C is no guarantee for an aging population.

Bad Bunny’s closing messages during his Super Bowl performance:

“The only thing more powerful than hate is love”
“Together, we are America”

In case you missed the moment.

Art is powerful

The end of DOE’s grid work in Puerto Rico The Trump administration has canceled all eight of the remaining awards devoted to distributed energy on the island.

Just a few weeks ago, the administration cancelled all remaining department of energy grid resilience projects in Puerto Rico. All of them. www.latitudemedia.com/news/the-end...

loved every second of Bad Bunny. That message of inclusion and a celebration of cultures like Puerto Rico’s is just what America needs right now. Plus, his music just gets you in motion. 10/10

Notes on winter When the world turns whimsical

I, too, am a partisan of snow. This is beautiful & agonizing.

"The quietest place I’ve ever found myself is in a windless snowfall...Last week, when the full moon came out on the snow, Vermont was so bright it looked enchanted...Does it get me heated that we’re losing winter? It does."

BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors

I’ve lost count of how many people lost their jobs simply for speaking up for Palestine.

We can count on one finger how many people have gone to prison for child sex trafficking.

We live in a corrupt system where condemning genocide is punishable but trafficking children is not.😐

My latest: Applauding community defense is not enough. We are organizing resistance to a concentration camp regime. The front lines are everywhere.

Israel has caused over $2.5bn of damage to Gaza’s transport infrastructure.

81% of roads have been destroyed or damaged.

This genocidal destruction aims to make Gaza un-liveable.

Trump's Schedule F Rule Finalized A bizarro rule formally justifies politicizing public services

New, from me: Trump finalized his Schedule F policy, allowing him to remove job protections from career civil servants.

The new rule is dishonest and unmoored from reality in its effort to formalize the politicization of the federal government 🧵

Inside a West Bank Community Encircled by an Illegal Israeli Settlement Even as Israel advances its colonial project on the ground piece by piece in Umm al-Khair, Palestinians refuse to leave.

“This is my land. This is where I belong. Why should there even be a question of leaving or staying? The settler, the illegal settler who came here, is the one who must leave.”

As ICE Terror Forces People Inside, Calls Grow for Eviction Moratorium in MN Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz upheld an eviction moratorium during the pandemic. Why won’t he issue one now?

“Operation Metro Surge has forced undocumented families in the Twin Cities into a cascade of difficult decisions, and activists warn that without an eviction moratorium, the region faces an impending eviction catastrophe.”

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

NBC’s Softball Trump Interview Normalized an Abnormal President I fact-checked Tom Llamas’s deferential interview with the president, in which the NBC Nightly News anchor did not ask him even a single question about the Epstein files.

"NBC’s Softball Trump Interview Normalized an Abnormal President"

We should’ve known when they brought in Tom Homan

The “draw down” of ICE in Minnesota is nothing but a hoax

-They’re still threatening protesters at gunpoint

-They continue to conduct warrantless arrests

-Kids are still being detained

It’s only a matter of time before they kill somebody else
