They’re calling him “the least Googleable man of all time”
The Iranian ambassador was not, for the record, on American soil.
I’ve never seen an admin more full of juvenile man-children openly projecting their juvenile man-childness every time they open their mouths and try to come across as “tough.” (And yes, I know Waltz’s background: still juvenile.)
There won't be any reporting on this in the US btw because the US / UK backs the monarchy in Bahrain and therefore their people don't need liberating and should not liberate themselves.
Only countries the US does not currently control, like Iran, deserve regime change that everyone cheers for.
Read it again. We killed 85 schoolgirls this morning.
indiscriminately bombing Iran is not a distraction of the Epstein files, it is a validation of their significance as more than a sex pest hunt. this is what elite impunity for morons looks like. a school turned to rubble on a whim.
The second you leave this country for even a few days, you realize the place you call home is decaying at an almost exponential pace. The realization that you don't have to live like this is stark, and that nobody in power is taking tangible actions to fix it in your lifetime is even starker.
Mass horror at the killings of Renee Good & Alex Pretti has DHS’s budget at stake.
And yet in the past week, agents left a blind refugee to die alone.
And lied about it.
They pretended to be police looking for a missing child, to detain a college kid.
And lied about it.
What does this tell you?
They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.
This really sums it up.
March 1st rent is coming up and many residents of Minneapolis are still afraid to leave their houses as ICE continues to terrorize their neighborhoods. Funds are currently being raised to help nine families avoid eviction if you have any spare bucks to toss 🩷

News you can use, from the @wired.com security team (who are the best in the biz).
They asked technologists, activists, aid groups, and cybersecurity experts for guidance on how to organize and collaborate in an age of surveillance. Here’s the result:

@gailsimone.bsky.social Just a suggestion, if you wanted to contact your senator with it...
Ofelia Torres, the teenage Chicago Public Schools student whose fight against cancer while her father was detained by ICE came to represent the federal government's overreach during Operation Midway Blitz, has died. Brave young woman. I will never forget her. RIP.

Screenshot of an X post from FactPost quoting Rep. Johnson questioning a proposal to require passports to register to vote, noting that many Americans do not have passports and asking whether the $150 passport fee would be waived to avoid creating an unreasonable poll tax. Below is a CNN screenshot showing a woman speaking remotely, with a banner reading: “DHS FUNDING TALKS AT A STANDSTILL AS DEADLINE APPROACHES.”
Thank you, Julie Johnson, for speaking out against the grotesquely misnamed SAVE act. We need you to keep fighting for us in the House.
🚨"They're becoming more dangerous...in the past you saw less coordination between local police and ICE. Now we're starting to see [cops] actually participate in patrolling and serving" -CAIR MN Exec. Dir. Jaylani Hussein debunking notion things calmed down under Tom Homan
Screenshot of an X post by Micah (@micah_erfan) claiming that Trump’s name appeared 38,000 times in redacted Epstein files and over 1,000,000 times in unredacted files, calling it a violation of the Epstein Transparency Act and stating that people should go to prison. Below is a highlighted excerpt from an Axios interview with Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) stating that when he searched President Trump’s name in the unredacted Epstein files, it came up “more than a million times.”
More than One. Million. Times.
There’s a sentiment among some locals that eyes on Minnesota are waning. The situation has NOT changed here.
Local resistance is tired, but of course never giving up. Please stay plugged into the news of the Minneapolis ICE occupation and donate where able.
We need endurance in this moment.
“I know they would do anything, that they would hurt people, that they’ve murdered people... I know that intellectually. But I still did not expect them to gas a chill, friendly protest full of nurses and teachers and children and the elderly.”

🚨Minneapolis ICE protesters take swings at a Kristi Noem piñata during ICE OUT protests. LIVE NOW ⬇️
There’s still a “ceasefire” btw
Hmmmmm looking into this 🙏🏾
A Democratic Party that reflected the values of its base would put this into its national platform: "Anyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is supporting the murder of Americans."
Over at Public Notice, @lizdye.bsky.social explains how the Trump administration is making sure that the agents involved in the murder of Alex Pretti are never prosecuted.
"Many struggle w/ the pretext that ICE/CBP are in Mpls to enforce immigration law. Bondi’s letter makes vividly clear the real purpose is to compel opposition states — Free States if you will — through violence, to surrender sovereignty to brutal outside rule which treats them as a conquered people"
