Listen to this. Not a penny more for this. Abolish and prosecute anyone who had anything to do with it.

"If the government may simply seize *someone* without due process, there is no check on its ability to seize *anyone*."

Perhaps the most fundamental check against tyranny. And it is gravely threatened.

Trump administration live updates: Lawmakers view unredacted Epstein files at Justice Department Trump administration live updates: Congress members may begin viewing unredacted Epstein files at DOJ

“Raskin also said that he saw ‘references to 17-year-old girls, 16-year-old girls, 14-year-old girls, 11-year-old girls, 10-year-old girls, and I saw a reference today to a 9-year-old girl. So it is a really gruesome and grim story.’“ www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Innocent people are rotting in these camps for months in horrible conditions, for no reason at all except to satisfy the sadism of that bald asshole. This is who we're supposed to negotiate Reasonable Guardrails with

Sorry to be Radical Left but I don't think we should put people who haven't committed a crime, and aren't even accused of committing a crime, into any sort of "Detention"

elle no longer has to worry about keeping it cute for disney and is letting the choppa sing!

They're building concentration camps with my tax money Chuck. They're torturing children. They're murdering innocent people on the street. What are you doing.

I am reminding myself in this moment that other countries are forging ahead without us, that states will make their own rules because people don't actually want massive pollution and out of control corporations poisoning land, water, air, and animals. But it's still pretty monstrous.

🧵 In response to my posts on X today, DOJ 1) unredacted an FBI file that LABELS two individuals as co-conspirators 2) unredacted a file that lists several men who might be implicated 3) tacitly admitted that Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem was the sender of the torture video

Thomas Massie is cooking right now and explicitly states that UAE Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem was sending torture videos to Epstein

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.

The choice to frame this rhetorically as a negotiation *with ICE and DHS* rather than, you know, a decision about their future made by their rightful superiors in the popularly elected legislature is, to me, incredibly grating.

ICE Moved Detainees to Previously Undisclosed Floor of 26 Federal Plaza A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to reduce overcrowding and squalid conditions at a Manhattan holding room. Months later, he finds ICE merely shifted floors.

ICE officials, under a judge’s order to clean up overcrowded and squalid conditions inside holding cells at 26 Federal Plaza detained migrants on a separate floor where they decided the the ruling didn't apply. The revelation comes in a hearing today:

this being nine years into the onset of dementia explains a lot

gatorade is owned by pepsico but it's the coca cola of the sports drink market. powerade in turn is owned by coca cola, but it's unquestionably the pepsi of sports drinks. this should be plainly obvious to all

Every single person that was involved in any way with what was done to this child - including the talking heads that lied about what was done and how he was used - should be burned at the stake.

This is horrifying for so many reasons. The one I'm thinking of right now is the billion dollars spent to torture and terrorize and imprison people could easily buy all of us healthcare, child care, parental leave, affordable housing ... all the things the Epstein Class swears we can't afford.

ok so that jobs report this week is going to be horrific, got it

Hundreds of millions spent on human misery

“Uptick In Abductions”: ICE Ramps Up Targeting of Minneapolis Legal Observers In one 30-minute stretch, three Minneapolis legal observers were arrested as ICE ramped up its targeting of community volunteers.

In one 30-minute stretch, three legal observers were arrested — as Trump’s Border czar Tom Homan calls on locals to “end the resistance.”

Why did Donald Trump move this convicted pedophile to a cushy tennis jail for non-violent offenders?

How can MAGA possibly explain that one away

"Trump voters urge him to tone down the rhetoric and focus more on domestic issues, especially clearer pathways to legal status for law-abiding immigrants", proving they unaccountably had no clue who they were voting for.

“On the day after the raid, half the students in Wilder, where more than 70 percent of the school population is Latino, skipped class.”

Trump has a plan to steal the midterms. It will probably fail. The nightmare scenario for American democracy is no longer unthinkable.

Great explainer from @ericlevitz.bsky.social about whether Trump is trying to rig the midterms (yes) and whether it'll work (almost definitely not, but the fact that we're having this conversation at all is not great, bob) ... gift link

“I Have Been Here Too Long”: Read Letters from the Children Detained at ICE’s Dilley Facility Hundreds of children are currently being held with their parents at an immigration detention center in Dilley, Texas. In letters and drawings, eight kids convey the pain of feeling trapped with no end...

That halftime show is what people mean when they say "joy is an act of resistance."

No ICE at the Super Bowl.

None. Zero.

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them
