Some 'Melt the ICE' organizers shared five lessons from ICE resistance with UR in the lead-up to the week of action.

The first lesson, Finding and Following ICE.

"The rapid growth of coordinated local groups in Minnesota dedicated to responding to ICE is a defining feature of the movement here."

This case file is civil; however, because of the sexual assault elements of these children by Donald Trump and Epstein, the FBI had to investigate this.

Everyone needs to push the TV news media to push hard to expose this. It should be part of the Epstein files.

A very low energy performance by Trump. His basic message for the 2026 midterm elections is to make it harder for you to vote and easier for Republicans to cheat.

Dear Women’s USA Olympic Hockey Team β€” First, congratulations! Second: I drove race cars for 19 yrs & the amount of misogynistic crap I put up with in the garage was insane. The U.S. Men’s Hockey Team has now shown you their true colors. Believe them. They’re not friends of your team or women in general. I’m so tired of this misogyny in sports & everywhere else in American life, to be honest. The patriarchy sucks. Grow the fuck up or hand the keys over to the ladies. Maybe it’s time we drive.

The political effects of X's feed algorithm

Feed algorithms are widely suspected to influence political attitudes. However, previous evidence from switching off the algorithm on Meta platforms found no political effects'. Here we present results from a 2023 field experiment on Elon Musk's platform X shedding light on this puzzle. We assigned active US-based users randomly to either an algorithmic or a chronological feed for 7 weeks, measuring political attitudes and online behaviour. Switching from a chronological to an algorithmic feed increased engagement and shifted political opinion towards more conservative positions, particularly regarding policy priorities, perceptions of criminal investigations into Donald Trump and views on the war in Ukraine. In contrast, switching from the algorithmic to the chronological feed had no comparable effects.
Neither switching the algorithm on nor switching it off significantly affected affective polarization or self-reported partisanship. To investigate the mechanism, we analysed users' feed content and behaviour. We found that the algorithm promotes conservative content and demotes posts by traditional media. Exposure to algorithmic content leads users to follow conservative political activist accounts, which they continue to follow even after switching off the algorithm, helping explain the asymmetry in effects. These results suggest that initial exposure to X's algorithm has persistent effects on users' current political attitudes and account-following behaviour, even in the absence of a detectable effect on partisanship.

A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitter’s algorithmic feed significantly shifts people’s political views to the right.

Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement.

This is one of the most concerning papers I’ve read in awhile.

FBI will not provide the BCA access to evidence gathered from Pretti shooting, BCA says Minnesota criminal investigators have again been denied access to evidence and other materials collected by federal authorities after the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, state officials said Monday.

FBI refusing to share Alex Pretti shooting evidence with state investigators. "BCA Superintendent Drew Evans said Monday that the FBI formally notified the state on Friday that it won’t grant the access." www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

It’s important to note that even though the importers jacked up prices on the American consumer, it’s the corporations that get these refunds. Not the consumers. So the rich, as always, will get richer while American consumers will have paid the price. END/

Last night, I was notified that another person has died in ICE custody.

That’s 39 people who have died on ICE’s watch during Trump’s second term.

We cannot grow numb to this. There must be immediate oversight and accountability.

21-Year-Old's Body Found In Wooded Area Of Georgia Park The unidentified 21-year-old man was found Feb. 14 in Fair Oaks Park in Marietta, Georgia, northwest of the city of Atlanta.

Black man found hanging in Marietta ga. a couple of days ago. No news coverage again. Likely not a suicide as they are again trying to say. Statistically speaking Black people don’t hang ourselves from trees. Any guess of who would do this?!

Quick SoL merch store update: Etsy deactivated a bunch of listings for "unspecified reasons". I've restored almost all of them. Also put up a long-sleeve Pride themed shirt. And some of y'all missed the Feb-19th only WOODCHIPPER 10% code because of time-zone, so it's reactivated for the 20th.

Listen closely to every word.

This matters. Rep. Ted Lieu, a military lawyer and constitutional officer, is laying out facts the media is ignoring.

Watch. Share. Democracy depends on it.
