Epstein survivor Haley Robson: I’m so tired of having this administration just completely dismiss us. They’re supposed to be the party of, you know, family values and protecting children. And I just feel like if that’s the party you are, it seems like Thomas Massie is the only one showing up for it.

My almost 105 year old abuelita-in-law is VERY excited for Bad Bunny. She came from the island, and for her entire life, she’s been an American citizen! Voted for FDR! 🇵🇷🇺🇸

🔥 EVA VICTOR: “Fuck ICE. I hate ICE. ICE is evil, racist, and violent, and I don’t think it should exist… shut the fuck up, Ricky Gervais and Kevin O’Leary— I’m here for one night and I can say what i want.” (From @variety.com )

Barack Obama went to Columbia and Harvard University. Michelle Obama went to Princeton and Harvard University. Donald Trump went to Epstein's Island.

I don’t usually welcome people being booed. I find solace that the heart and soul of the world is speaking loudly here. Boo is the nicest thing I have to say today.

JD Vance loudly booed at the Winter Olympics today.

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Supremacy continues to be alive and well. Fuckers.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I don’t think this shocks a soul. Well done article.

We found that Jeff Bezos paid *zero* taxes in 2007 and 2011. In fact, he reported making so little in 2011 that he even claimed and received a $4,000 tax credit for his children. This is how he did it (published 2021):

As an academic this is horrifying. Academics need to be put on alert to get clear on who is in your circles before committing your intellectual property and souls. Those that were complicit deserve all the consequences and previous research to be questioned.

A couple of people have asked why so many academics with ties to Epstein are popping up. I recommend starting with this article. Epstein wanted to be perceived as a brilliant guy who found the smartest scientists and funded them. To date, I’ve only found one woman in academia with close ties.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

Trump: It looks like it’s about $3.1 billion Powell: I’m not aware of that. Trump: It just came out Powell: You just added in a third building Trump: It’s a building that’s being built Powell: It was built five years ago.

Horrifying. I can’t stop thinking about this and the countless people going to churches of hypocrisy justifying this as okay. The trauma will last forever for him, and the other children, moms, dads, grandparents, innocent people going through this hell. Do we have any decent humanity left?

NEW: Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s lawyers seek permission to file an amended complaint in his civil case in Maryland. Among other things, the amended complaint “includes Abrego Garcia's first-hand account of torture and mistreatment at CECOT…”

Exactly. These are crimes against humanity. I hope other nations start to sanction us since we aren’t part of the ICC.

We're going to need Nuremberg trials when this is over, yes, and to send a significant number of people currently in the federal government to prison. But we're going to need an unwavering commitment to ostracizing the supporters of it, as well. Never accept them again in polite society.

First, hate the name as if it’s an amusement park. The people excited about countless innocent moms, dads, grandparents, and children being kidnapped and forced into inhumane conditions are morally bankrupt. If Jesus appeared in their “churches” they would also have him sent to a concentration camp.

The stats don’t show that ICE is detaining the criminals Trump is claiming. So what kind of immigrants are they going to put on Alligator Alcatraz—in tents, surrounded by gators during hurricane season? • Asylum seekers • Day laborers • Moms with expired visas • Farm pickers • Construction workers

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Karen Bass: "The 100 National Guard soldiers that are downtown LA are guarding one federal building, so there is no need for this...it's all part of an experiment that is taking place in Los Angeles...what happens when the federal government intervenes and takes power away from a governor & mayor?"

Protests in LA are fueled by a commitment to love, justice, and freedom for all! Keep it peaceful. Authoritarians want to provoke violence. Solidarity is our strength.

ICE is a much greater threat to this country than illegal immigrants. The current administration ia by far the greatest threat this country faces. The problem is not st our borders. It is in the White House.
