A bunch of cops cheering at a political rally — in uniform — as the president and AG endorse a candidate and attack their political opponents is not normal. And it is not okay.

The reason why ICE agents continue to shoot people is because nothing ever happens to them when they do. They essentially have been granted full immunity for whatever they choose to do to people by a lawless regime of thugs.

President Obama: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.”

“Israel continues deadly attacks in Gaza despite ‘ceasefire’ Since the start of the “ceasefire” in October, at least 851 people have been killed and 2,437 wounded by Israeli attacks across the enclave.”

the voting rights act actually worked, which is why the conservative legal movement immediately went to work on dismantling it this has been the focus of john roberts' entire legal career

Re the Voting Rights Act: I've used this graph a lot to illustrate how the VRA largely ended the historic pattern of blocking and burdening Black voters in the south. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

i was told by john roberts and sam alito that racism is over so i won't worry about white republicans in the south jumping over themselves to end black political representation wherever they can

WaPo reports Louisiana’s governor will announce on Friday that he is suspending the House primaries where people have already started voting and redraw the map; I’d expect them to go for an all-Republican map and eliminate both majority-Black districts, not just one.

Important to remember that not even Congress can bypass the Constitution's core components. And what the GOP & Trump are calling a non-starter is the highest law of the land. So they better get started & back their asses down.

Jon Steinman@jonsteinman.bsky.social

The administration insists obeying the Constitution is a “non-starter” because it might slow its pogrom. No agency should be able to grant itself permission to invade private property and abduct people. If this isn’t impeachable, what is? www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

One lesson from the Epstein–Mandelson affair is that we need to stop routinely rehabilitating political careers after serious scandals. When politicians knowingly engage in grave ethical wrongdoing, that should permanently end their political careers. Being "talented" should not override that.

Blocking today’s vote on the DHS funding bill was an important first step for Senate Democrats. A unified opposition party is how we stop the escalating violence that the regime is carrying out in our communities. Now we need to make sure Democrats keep holding the line to get ICE Out For Good.

before you take any of the "Trump is pivoting/lamenting/lowering the temperature after the Pretti murder" stories too seriously, absolutely nothing has changed in Minneapolis: "an absolutely brutal day of raids and abductions" says one friend

A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all. Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

Exactly right, and therefore important not to give credit for an investigation of an obvious atrocity. Appropriate responses are apologies, resignations, firings, impeachments. The individuals who killed people should be tried before a judge and jury.

Eliot Higgins@eliothiggins.bsky.social

Okay, so this is an authoritarian playbook trick, once the evidence is overwhelming say everyone needs to wait for the official investigation then either fix it or attack it when its completed. Same shit Russian pulled with MH17 and chemical attacks in Syria, very predictable.

Senators have a choice next week: They can vote for a DHS funding bill that gives ICE and CBP more money to brutalize our neighbors, or they can say ENOUGH. We must demand our senators refuse to give ICE & CBP one more penny or vote for any bill that won’t get these thugs the fuck out of our cities.

We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done: A superpower is committing suicide because the GOP Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King. This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.
