Alex Pretti's mother: The federal government went on TV and lied about Alex. They tried to slander Alex to cover up their crime. We want our son's killers brought to justice once and for all. We're begging for the Justice Department to hold the men who murdered our son accountable for what they did.

Alex Pretti's father: We wish Alex was alive. This administration has taken that away from us. What we've been treated to is cruelty. By Dan Rosen in the US Attorney's office, from the Attorney General Todd Blanche, who has ignored our letter begging for information. They've shielded Alex's killers.

Alex Pretti's father: Our son was shot and killed by the government, federal immigration agents, on January 24th, 2026. His hands were in the air, and his face was on the ground when he was executed by ICE agents. No one from the federal government called us on that day. No one has called us since.

Just a few hours ago, President Trump said in the Oval Office that I should be tried in court because I dared to talk about the corruption coming out of the White House.

Most hostages of ICE Terror Camps have never broken a law, no criminal records, children who don’t have light enough skin. Felon, Homan, Miller, markwayne are LYING TO US about the missing, kidnapped & sold to foreign gulags for PROFITS. The are lying about the Rape & deaths inside behind bars.

Last week above the city of Rhenen in The Netherlands. I had been wanting to photograph this church tower with these kinds of conditions for years, and I finally managed to do so. What a morning.

Very pathetic. They should know this a short-term "change" ignored by the rest of the world, and by many of us who are Americans (who are quite embarrassed by our petty President)

Pathetic -- Google is now referring to Lake Ontario as "Lake America"

If Democrats win one or both chambers of Congress, there are going to be lots of wild oversight hearings during the next Congress. A lot of incompetence and improper acts will come to light

BREAKING: EXCLUSIVE: DHS legal opinion justifying ICE entering homes without a judicial warrant is nothing more than an email written by ICE Deputy Principal Legal Advisor Adam Loiacono, and DHS refuses to release it. www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

If Democrats had balls, clips like this would be in political ads all across the nation. Republicans have brought the nation so low that I don't know we will ever recover. This is so damn disgusting!

Almost unbelievably outrageous, except that it is believable, because this is the government we now have

While Joshua Aviles works 12+ hour shifts on the USS Lincoln on a deployment of more than 250 days for Trump‘s illegal war of choice against Iran, his father, Luis Manuel Aviles, has now been arrested by Border Patrol and faces deportation courtesy of the Trump Regime:

I wonder what texts, art forms, or artifacts will survive from our time and how future humans will interpret and view us. Hopefully they still have a remotely livable world in 2,000-3,000 years lmao

This man seems so morally grounded and fearless. It’s hard to imagine having a President like that after the emotional trauma we have all suffered at the hands of our current President.

Jon Ossoff@ossoff.bsky.social

While the sailors on the Lincoln fight his war, while he fruitlessly drains our munitions and oil reserves, the president sleeps through his meetings.

Black people have never been “lazy.” That lie was engineered to erase our labor &justify exploiting us. Our work built the foundation of this country ,its economy, its culture, its power. We deserve acknowledgment for our contributions &respect for our resilience,not hate designed to hide the truth.

If all income in excess of $400,000 were subject to the Social Security payroll tax, Social Security’s solvency would be guaranteed forever. We could also expand Social Security benefits. There’s no reason even to consider reducing Social Security benefits or raising the age of eligibility.

This is whole story is horrifying, and as a journalist covering ICE flights, I was struck by this sentence: “We were shipped to Texas overnight from Los Angeles in horrible conditions that I won’t elaborate on in this letter.”

This Tuesday will mark one year since the National Guard was deployed to Washington, DC against the will of the city's residents. It costs the American people ~$607 per guard member daily. Given we have ~4,600 guard members here right now, that's more than $2.79 million per day.

Yes! It is time for younger voters to take the reins and vote for a future where democracy and the rule of rule are protected, and where environmental challenges are seriously addressed. It is getting damn close to being too late

Acyn@acyn.bsky.social

AOC: Millennials are not punk kids anymore. We're grown adults with mortgages and kids, and that generation is starting to be decisive at the polls. And there is anger at being ignored, having our economic futures mortgaged by the generations that came before us and we're taking the reins

Republicans know no shame; if they did, they would go bury themselves under a rock. This party is so far gone, it deserves to just wither away. Young Americans: see clearly what disgraceful fools they are, and send this party to oblivion

Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com

Performative bullshit. Fauci is a hero. Besides, they’re trying to ban an 85-year-old retiree from a job he already left.

It's OK to be pedantic here, a lot of people don't understand how SS works. It is not like an IRA; they are not holding "your money" in an account for you. What you pay in is used to establish the amount of your entitlement

Mr Blifil@mrblifil.bsky.social

Don’t mean to be pedantic but SS is literally an entitlement, as in: people who contributed are entitled to get paid. Somehow “entitlement” has been appropriated by the right wing to mean something bad, while in this case it means what the word says.

Trump hates Western Europe because of a deep sense of his own cultural and social inferiority. He is ignorant, vulgar, unrefined, loutish, ill-mannered, and monolingual. Western Europeans remind him of that just by standing next to him.

Only cowards can serve this President, and only cowards ARE serving this President. People of integrity and courage are not welcome and are not being nominated

Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social

This is a terrific illustration -- for elected officials but also for media figures -- of the incredible power of simply refusing to take a bullshit dodge for an answer. Keep asking the question, over and over again, and make the weasels squirm.

This is our government openly threatening to commit war crimes

Republicans Against Trumpism@rpsagainsttrump.bsky.social

MAJOR ESCALATION: Trump tells Fox News the U.S. will strike Iran’s civilian infrastructure next week: “We’re gonna knock out all their power plants, we’re gonna knock out all their bridges, unless they get to the table and negotiate.”

It is shameful if the Senate confirms Blanche, but it was also shameful that they confirmed RFK Jr. and Kash Patel and Markwayne Mullin

Acyn@acyn.bsky.social

Schiff: The judge, in that decision on Monday, referred Blanche, basically, to the New York Bar Association because of his conduct. How is it possible that after being referred to the bar association for potential discipline on Monday, we’re contemplating this guy for attorney general on Wednesday?
