I prefer not to minimize the evil. Let's call them by their correct name: concentration camps.

One more comment on the Post debacle: this hurts journalism broadly. Good journalists will go do something else. The rest will be fighting for fewer jobs and everyone will earn less. Fewer people will take up the career. The damage done is to the ecosystem, as well as the paper.

The Washington Post Dies in Daylight Civic vandalism and the mutilation of a great paper.

"The free market will not save the Post, because its owner is immune to market signals. Politics will not save the Post, because so long as Republican voters demand authoritarianism, no one can own a media outlet without taking on outsized risk."

Pinned lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Aug 19, 2021 Almost three years ago, my editor called me early one November morning. A wildfire had sparked near a town called Paradise, he said. Could I go? (1/13) 0:02 / 0:10 lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · 47m I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated.

Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp.

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

DHS Hunts Down 67-Year-Old U.S. Citizen Who Criticized Them in Email The Department of Homeland Security is using a little-known tool to go after its critics.

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

Two CBP Agents Identified in Alex Pretti Shooting The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raym...

NEW: This isn't about "training." The two agents who murdered Alex Pretti - Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez - have been with Border Patrol for 8 and 12 years respectively. You can't reform CBP. Abolish ICE/CBP. www.propublica.org/article/alex...

I won’t stop reporting the truth. The First Amendment is the bedrock of our democracy, and I’ll continue to fight to protect it 🤝🏾🇺🇸

Reminds me of the cover for "Wind and Wuthering" by Genesis.

Rest in peace to a legend.

Watch who in the media speaks up about this and who doesn’t. It will tell you everything you need to know.

Jason DeRusha @DeRushaJ X.com Independent Twin Cities journalist Georgia Fort says federal agents came to her door at 6:30am and arrested her for filming the protest at that St. Paul church. Via her Facebook: [video] Georgia Fort was live. Following

Minneapolis local independent journalist Georgia Fort was also reportedly arrested by the Feds:

This will utterly delight the Maga crowd, who hate Don Lemon with the fire of a thousand suns. And we who have eyes, ears, and a brain all know why without needing to be told.

Breaking:

The former CNN anchor Don Lemon was arrested late last night on charges that he violated federal law during a protest at a church in St. Paul — a case rejected last week by a magistrate judge.

Lemon has said he was simply reporting as a journalist. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/u...

Setting aside the issue of church-state separation... if this doesn't work in churches, why on earth do they think it will work in schools? 🙄

She is really gorgeous. Love that dress.

Now, now. He's just taking off his mask to show his real face....

🇺🇦 Zelensky: This is a clear lesson from history: when hatred against one people does not stop, others cannot remain indifferent and stand aside.

Aggression and contempt for the lives of people and entire nations must never prevail…

From the original "Dark Shadows" series, in 1967. Vampire Barnabas Collins stands next to an enthralled Maggie Evans before the portrait of Josette Collins. Maggie, hypnotized, wears Josette's wedding dress. It is Barnabas's intention to make Maggie into a recreation of his lost love.

The original - and, at least for me - the only Maggie Evans/Josette. Happy Birthday, KLS! 💐

Unending disgusting, despicable, illiberal behavior from Trump. The "worst of the worst" is in the Oval Office, not in the cities and towns of America.

Murdering people to get what they want.

Extortion.

This is not about immigration.
That’s a mask playing on hate.

She looks so incredibly cheap (but I'm sure she won't *cost* cheap). I'll also bet the doll actually in the stores will be pixelated with so-so hair quality. I am so sick of pixelated screenings on playline dolls, I could cry. 😞

Trump’s Chilling Weaponization of Confidential Government Records Remind me—who else in history made lists of Jewish intellectuals and people with disabilities?

"There are lists of immigrants, lists of people with developmental disabilities, lists of dissidents—and lately, even lists of Jews. All ostensibly in the name of public safety." Hmm.

No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.

This is catastrophic for our nation.

Funny how the right is outraged at Fanone flipping off a congressman just days after celebrating a president flipping off a working American .
