Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries.

One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home.

Abolish the billionaire class:

👇🏽 @gallego.senate.gov amplifying a witness who worked for Epstein swearing under oath Trump/Epstein threatened witnesses with death/disappearance if they revealed the child sex abuse she witnessed

1. The new batch of Epstein documents helps illuminate one contemporary controversy: What is Bari Weiss up to at CBS? I think the answer is she is trying to rehabilate the Epstein network as a bulwark of reactionary centrism. Let me explain.

1/ Ian Austin has since been re-arrested along with Don Lemon, which he believes is bc the video we made of him (below) criticizing the Trump regime and encouraging fellow vets to wake up had gotten millions of views.

It's not just journalists. It's ANYONE. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

So happy to see this.

But let’s not forget all of the other children - younger and older than Liam - that continue to languish in our nation’s immigration prisons.

Here are a few of the emails from Casey Wasserman, current chair of LA28, to Ghislaine Maxwell in the latest Epstein files drop

Part of the reason I loved working on this great article 👇 by @markhertling.bsky.social is that I don't recall ever before reading what a general officer, active-duty or retired, thinks about protest songs and anti-war music. So that was fascinating.

Also: It's thoughtful and very well written!

Looks like every DOJ lawyer who signed the Don Lemon indictment is a political appointee.

here is the video version of this post, with a few other thoughts as well. youtu.be/wBS13rx-M7s

The very well-accepted term for "stripping the legal protections of a minority group and then sending a paramilitary force to carry them away" is "ethnic cleansing."

They are planning to ethnically cleanse Springfield, Ohio.

Very important vote. It makes repealing ICE surge funding the mainstream position in the party, with bipartisan support.

In Politika, Aristotle says you can recognize a tyrannical regime in the fact that it intrudes into every aspect of the lives of its subjects while enshrouding the tyrant and his enablers in complete secrecy. What we see with ICE is the demonstration of that principle. bsky.app/profile/davi...

I've covered ICE / DHS for about a decade now and more ICE agents are willing to talk now than ever before. The confidence the administration is trying to project is absolutely not reflected internally.

stuff like this, etc

man the stuff i am seeing on IG from
the most normie, i don’t really talk about politics accounts suggests something different

A must-read deep dive into the history and current practices of ICE/CBP:

"ICE and CBP are literally scared to be out in public... resorting to brutality and violence because (a) they don’t know better and (b) they’re not bound by any of the normal accountability"

it's insane, there are thousands of observers like alex on the ground, we all know what he was doing, people knew him, it's clear on the video. the only "evidence" that he's got a terrorist manifesto is that the people who killed him said "well I bet he had a terrorist manifesto"

And for Pam Bondi: >>90% of the signs I see are homemade. (Not that it matters.)

Great quote courtesy of @hcrichardson.bsky.social on propaganda methods of authoritarian governments:
‘We know we’re lying.
You know we’re lying.
We know you know we’re lying.
But you have to believe us anyway’.

This is a battle only two men really wanted: Donald Trump and the devil on both of his shoulders, Stephen Miller.

This is a lie.

My @chrclla.bsky.social team represents every child imprisoned CBP & ICE. We routinely speak to children & families who suffer torturous conditions in CBP facilities.

The existence of this agency, staffed the way it is today, is just completely incompatible with a democratic society.

been reading a lot of English history and I gotta say I'm thinking better of bills of attainder

Minneapolis Discovered Its Own Strength Fighting ICE Tyranny - The American Prospect Trump’s goons thought they could push around a blue city. They came in for a nasty shock.

"Speaking with residents, over and over again I heard a sense of blistering outrage at the utter gratuitousness of it all. Things were more or less fine until ICE showed up and started snatching random civilians off the street." prospect.org/2026/01/23/m...

My “US Border Patrol are experts in dealing with children” t-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.

The clergy just keep coming to this anti-ICE protest.

Genuinely unclear where they all will go — it’s packed outside on the sidewalk already.

FIFA gave Trump a bullshit peace prize and as a thank you he’s going to launch a war against his World Cup co-host and make the games unplayable

Nixon insisted the bombing of Cambodia was just targeting Viet Cong outposts there and not meant to undermine its government, but the bombings destabilized the Lon Nol government and paved the way for the Khmer Rouge’s killing fields and the massacre of more than a million people.

Politics is not fan culture—none of these people are your friends. There are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies, only permanent interests.

We can be grateful that MTG is against Trump without liking her or thinking of her as a long-term ally. The anti-Trump coalition must be huge.
