The Threshold The right used to attack athletes who protested. Now they attack athletes who express feelings at all.

Amber Glenn won Olympic gold on Sunday. That same day, she left social media because of death threats. Her offense: she'd told reporters the queer community is going through "a hard time." The headline called it "backlash." www.readtpa.com/p/the-thresh...

Congresswoman Uses Simple Math To Show How Broken ICE Is

A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.

That's 2%! www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

McIver: Do you consider yourself a religious man?

Lyons: Yes

McIver: How do you think judgment day will work for you with so much blood on your hands? Do you think you’re going to hell?

The president had his DOJ raid an election office and seize ballots. Now it turns out the whole thing is just election deniers telling the same old lies. Our democracy is in danger but I founded Democracy Docket to help keep you informed on the fight ahead. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

THEY ARE BUYING UP WAREHOUSES TO HOLD HUMAN BEINGS IN DETENTION INDEFINITELY.

I feel crazy at how everyone is acting like this is normal. These are concentration camps being built right before our eyes. These buildings are not meant to house human beings. People will be caged like cattle and die.

they pissed off the WeRateDogs guy enough from him to break character to directly tell them off, that's genuinely impressive levels of being an asshole

Khanna: There were two rounds of redactions. There was the original FBI redactions… and they did a second round of redactions at the DOJ. What they’re showing members now is the unredacted version of the DOJ’s redactions—not the original FBI redactions. They’re in blatant violation of the law.

in a text string after the shooting, a fellow agent told Exum he's a "legend"
"Beers on me"

This is what ICE looks like

I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

In the image center, an opaque oval cloud of gray gas aligned from 1 o\u2019clock to 7 o\u2019clock hides a star. Two strong beams of light from the star emerge from large holes in both sides of the cloud, forming narrow cones extending toward 10 o\u2019clock and 4 o\u2019clock. The central cloud is surrounded by concentric, wispy shells of gas illuminated by the star\u2019s light. The shells reflect extra light where they\u2019re hit by the twin beams. A crowd of smaller stars with cross-shaped spikes over them surrounds the nebula on a black background.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

'Brave' isn't a big enough word to describe the orphans in our care. Nothing can erase their past, but we can offer them the wild future they deserve. There is always space for one more our foster family – could it be you? sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/a...

Sometimes, when the caregivers are using the hose, the girls come over and ask to be sprayed. 😄 Of course, they are happy to oblige!

The Seattle Seahawks ended the season like they played most of it — dominating on defense. They claimed the top spot in the season's final NFL power rankings.

There's been some shuffling in the standings after that, though.

​A screenshot of a post from the account Acyn featuring a video of Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC). The text of the post quotes AOC speaking about the humanitarian crisis in Cuba, drawing parallels to Gaza. ​She describes a "new era of depravity" where innocent civilians are starved or deprived because their political regimes are found "objectionable." She emphasizes the need to defend human rights, mentioning the risk of hospitals running out of fuel and children being put in harm's way. The video thumbnail shows AOC walking through a hallway while being interviewed by a reporter holding a microphone. ​Would you like me to help you draft more QRTs based on these specific images or provide a deeper summary of the AOC video?

The United States is purposefully blockading Cuba from accessing fuel that powers everything from grocery stores to hospitals. People will die. Children will die. What's being done to the people of Cuba is monstrous.

The people in power were ok with it in Gaza and now they're doing it to Cuba.

AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

For an attorney to resort to extortion to clear his client isn't ideal.

For an attorney to undertake that extortion expressly and in a public is incredibly stupid.

They have tried everything they can think of to distract us and prevent the truth from coming out — posting racist memes and even shutting down the House. But we will not stop until all involved are held accountable and the survivors get justice.
