NEW: A page from Bondi's burn book. This is a list of the searches by Rep Jayapal of the unredacted Epstein files. That means the DOJ grabbed her search terms from the computers they set up for members of congress to view the Epstein files to use as ammunition. The photo is from Reuters.

I think not enough white people are taking the voting rights issues seriously enough. They are killing people and then offering to stop killing if the state gives up the voter registration data. This should be setting off massive alarms for EVERYONE. (I’m looking at you, white people.)

Would somebody in the US Senate take Susan Collins aside and remind her that the people she clearly got her quid pro quo from -- getting ICE/CBP out of Maine in exchange for giving DHS more $$$ -- have neither ethics nor morals and will screw her the first chance they get?

The Guardian posted this story this morning. Alex Pretti had had a rough encounter with ICE about a week and half before he was shot. I think they targeted him. I think this was PREMEDITATED MURDER. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights. There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us. This is my favorite guide.

Frost: For so long, the right wing has held up patriotism as a vibe, as an aesthetic. But patriotism is more than bald eagles and flags and beer. Patriotism is about loving the people who live in the damn country — every single one of them.

DHS is quoting the KKK on X. At this point, it’s hard to call it anything but AmeriKKKa. “We’ll have our home again” has been used historically in Ku Klux Klan propaganda, chants, and publications, particularly in the early–mid 20th century

If you're female or demifemmes, you've seen this kind of bullpuckey behavior. "Do what I tell you or else, beotch" followed by some sort of physical intimidation. It's classic abuser crap. I bet he doesn't take "No, stop" from a date.

How many people have to say it? ICE is out of control, and racist as f*ck. This is ICE culture “They opened the door and asked if I was afraid yet? I said, ‘Absolutely NOT.’ Then they said it, ‘Well, you’re white and it wouldn’t be any fun and told me to get out of the car.’” - Rev Callaghan

Renee Nicole Good, 37, mother of a 6 year old, was murdered by a federal agent today. Murdered and then blamed for her murder. DHS agents are now a proven extrajudicial force that will kill you, for no reason at all, just because they can. If there was ever a moment, it is now.
