“Then they started to talk about cuffing me, and that if the kids were here legally, what do they have to lose by answering. I told them that they still have their fifth and fourth amendment rights, and that they don’t have to speak to you or help with any investigation.”
A local NYC baseball coach says he fended off ICE agents during a recent practice.
Youman Wilder said caught feds questioning youth about where they're from & country of origin, so, he told feds to back off & kids to not answer!
Shoutout all of our local heroes!

I am a commissioner at the Federal Trade Commission. Earlier today, the president attempted to illegally fire me. This is corruption, plain and simple. I will see the president in court. My full statement:

i think this is basically what has happened a big chunk of the american pundit class
One of my best friends is from a sleepy, wealthy small town in the south-west of Germany. He said, so many of my parents’ neighbours are rich and bored, with little to complain about, and they’ve radicalised themselves at dinner parties and online. In their aimlessness, they’ve bonded over hate.
This isn’t some rant saying “Germany has learned nothing from its past” - the reality is more subtle than that. Middle-class Germans live and travel with an incredible amount of ease and comfort, and they just got…sleepy. Many of them dismissed the far-right’s rage as just another set of complaints.

Everyone blaming the people who didn’t vote/for Harris because of the genocide should absolutely shut the fuck up after reading this because the Harris campaign actively refused to campaign for their votes and that’s a campaign problem not a voter problem
NEW: A Harris campaign organizer says senior officials ordered them to erase voters who asked about Gaza—marking emails as “no response” so they’d be removed from outreach. No engagement, no persuasion, just ignored. “The only clowns are the ones who decided to abdicate on this.”

“The liberal establishment has not raised the alarms. Worse, they have often served as the right’s complicit partner, oblivious to the precedents that Trump is now inheriting: broader police power, unaccountable presidential power, generalized repression, and gross restrictions on speech.”

A complete ban on @unrwa.org officially went into effect last week on Jan. 30. The implementation of the ban, however, remains unclear but will cause a crisis for many Palestinians who rely on the agency's services to survive. Asma Barakat reports ⬇️

Executed for killing her slave master in 1855, her descendants fought to have her pardoned
Celia's descendants made it their mission to fight for the pardon after getting support from lawmakers and community groups across the state.

Turns out we can't criticize democrats before or after the election, we always just have to go along with whatever they are saying, and never criticizing them is how we fight authoritarianism

Dude. Priorities. MAGA is literally dismantling the United States government such that it may never recover and Kaine went to the senate floor to push back. Do you disagree with Kaine’s position on this? Why attack him just because he might not be pushing back as much as you like on other things?

DeepSeek is the flip side of the same coin: It innovated because of, not in spite of, its constraints. And now that it has upended the assumptions of the dominant AI paradigm, we should reject its costly trade-offs and seek new ways to develop AI without so many harms. 24/

Elizabeth I reintroduces the Buggery Act (1533) after Mary I had repealed it. Originally introduced by Henry VIII, Buggery became a state crime rather than a church matter. This act can be the origin of the anti-LGBTQIA+ laws spread through British colonialism.
