Speaking truth in the political wilderness.

DOGE got our Social Security information and bank account data. Palantir has access to passport, Global Entry, TSA privileges. As in the Hamdmaid’s Tale, the Trump regime can now control every one of us by locking up our bank accounts and revoking access to travel. This is war. None of us are safe.
A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

WSJ: “.. The deal marked something unprecedented in American politics: a foreign government official taking a major ownership stake in an incoming U.S. president's company."

It's hard to overstate how ell-organized the portland march that got gassed was... organizers made the crowd promise to be peaceful, said the march would slow in front of the ICE building but not stop, that we would stick to one chant (ICE Out). They did absolutely everything right and got gassed.

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

As Black History Month begins, we honor the generations of Black New Yorkers who built this city into the “gorgeous mosaic” we call home.

Today, we reflect on the words of Mayor David Dinkins: our city’s first Black mayor (and a democratic socialist!).

I’ve been scratching my head all day about why and who in the DOJ did this.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

As more academic names keep coming up in the Epstein files, I keep thinking about this NYT interview with the Bard president from a few years ago, and wondering how many people were rationalizing in similar ways.

The relief I’ll feel when Trump is gone will be the same relief I felt when my SA stepfather died. When the shock subsided, I thought to myself: I’ll never have to breathe the same air as him ever again.

Former Texas Lege reporter here. A Dem hasn't held this seat since 1990. Tarrant is the safest of red suburban counties. There is no way the TX and national GOP aren't in panic mode right now.
JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate.

Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards.

With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43.

Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.

Remember that Tom Barrack was prosecuted (but acquitted) for being the foreign agent of these folks.
This is corruption on a breathtaking level. Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, an Abu Dhabi royal nicknamed the "spy sheikh", pumped $187mn into Trump family businesses. A WSJ team has the whole story, reported here for the first time. Remember: Jimmy Carter had to sell his peanut farm.
‘Spy Sheikh’ Bought Secret Stake in Trump Company
$500 million investment for 49% of World Liberty came months before U.A.E. won access to tightly guarded American AI chips.

This is some Putin level corruption. This pedophile needs to be stopped. This child rapist must be removed from office.
Trump claims “nobody will care” that he’s trying to steal billions from taxpayers because he’ll give it to charity 🤥 (he won’t)

If Obama even dreamed this Republicans would’ve lost their damn minds

The British Prime Minister publicly called for former Prince Andrew to testify before Congress. Hey, @democrats.org, got that? Let Andrew bring them all down.
Donald Trump raped children. I’m not sure what’s left to discuss.

“Kamala warned us”

Fuck you

Palestinians warned you
Black people warned you
The Left warned you
Half the international community warned you

The US slide into fascism has been long and slow. Many have been falsely imprisoned or killed by it over decades.

It just finally came for you.

What's most amazing about this is the fact that the WSJ needed a “study” to figure it out.
