Narrator: The optics were not better.

JUST IN: A federal judge in Oregon has barred ICE from conducting warrantless arrests without probable cause in the state, saying the agency's "dragnets" have flouted "clear and undisputed" law. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Trump orders all federal agencies to phase out use of Anthropic technology President Donald Trump says he's ordering all federal agencies to phase out use of Anthropic technology after the company’s unusually public dispute with the Pentagon over artificial intelligence safe...

This is because the Pentagon and Trump don’t like Anthropic’s language preventing their tech from being used to surveil Americans or for autonomous weapons. Which means the Pentagon wants to use their tech to surveil Americans and build autonomous weapons apnews.com/article/anth...

300.

This is an action aimed at 300 people.

This just highlights how vulnerable the transgender community really is—and how monstrous these policies attacking them really are.

It’s exactly how the Nazis targeted Jews. Exactly.

The Handbasket 100% independent journalism by Marisa Kabas

Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media.

Add your favorites in the replies. Fuck state-backed media monopolies.

It’s buried in page 15 of the bill, and Republican lawmakers never mention it.

911 calls capture kids burning with fever, struggling to breathe at ICE detention center EMS crews were called to the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in Texas at least 11 times since September for children in medical distress, records show.

NEW: We obtained 911 audio from the Texas detention center housing hundreds of immigrant kids and their parents.

Since mid-September, EMS crews have been dispatched to Dilley at least 11 times to treat children in medical distress.

Burning fevers. Low oxygen. Seizures. A broken leg.

New A.C.A. Plans Could Increase Family Deductibles to $31,000

Deductibles should be $0
Premiums should be $0
Copays should be $0
Prescriptions should be $0

We could have guaranteed healthcare with Medicare for All and save up to $450B and 68,000 lives per year if politicians answered to us instead of billionaires and corporate donors.

White House circulating blatantly illegal draft emergency order to take control of elections Voting rights experts and at least one state election chief said Trump doesn’t have the authority to claim such powers — and any attempt would be blatantly illegal.

A draft emergency executive order to declare a national emergency to allow President Donald Trump to take unprecedented control over voting is being circulating by anti-voting activists who said they are in coordination with the White House. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

10 hour study with me at Columbia showing lunch

DHS illegally arrested me please help Text against image of her knees

Columbia student detained today is a day-in-the-life influencer with 100K followers. Her stories right now go from her studying for a Genetics exam in a nicely edited "ten hour study with me at Columbia" video, to a photo of her knees with the caption "dhs illegally arrested me please help"

This video should be on every network.

Kash Patel Reportedly Fires at Least 10 FBI Agents for Investigating Trump FBI Director Kash Patel allegedly fired at least ten FBI agents involved in the investigation into President Donald Trump's handling of classified documents.

Literally every Trump appointee needs to be investigated and removed from their post.

Every single one—and Trump himself.

Last year, the State Department laid off 70 percent of its Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons, which carries out the government’s main anti-trafficking mission. And the annual Trafficking in Persons Report that is required to be delivered to Congress by June 30 each year was delayed past July and released only after intense pressure from House Democrats.

Turns out, Trump has gutted the government's anti-trafficking office.

Purposefully gutting, needless waste of time, energy and treasure (sociocultural).

The coup d’état is being waged on several fronts. Even as the regime in the executive detaches from the reality of their incompetence, cultural warriors continue to press their advantage in states they influence.

Dying 😭

Massive snow means lots of spontaneous snowballin’ in the streets but there are rules: Put Up (& Ball) or Shut Up (& Flee).

Seriously unserious stuff.

Shame on any reporting outlet that treats this as anything remotely sinister.

Cruelty and suffering is all the Republican Party and the “conservative” movement ever have to offer.

All Trump & his wannabe oligarch pals have done is dial that up to an absurdist extreme so they can skim.

They masked it with decorum for a while but this is always who these people have been.

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

They found him. He died.

Another murder by our immigration goon squads

Nations must not allow their governments to give away their sovereignty or rights of their citizens to the US for some highly conditional “deal” that solely benefits the regime currently remaking the US into an authoritarian oligarchy.

You don’t have to identify as either a democrat or republican to know when something is objectively wrong.

"They're so wedded to their positions. I think they believe in them. I don't think that's probably going to change, at least not with this group of leaders."

democrats should internalize that this is what their colleagues think of them and act accordingly
