Here’s some things that can be done by a party out of power
- file impeachment articles every day in the House
- withhold unanimous consent in the senate and filibuster every nominee
- be everywhere with comms saying this is lawless and impeachable
Good morning ☀️
Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:
When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.
There's a petition demanding that the city of Portland revoke the land use permit for the ICE detention facility there, which has broken agreements about length of detentions. If you live in Portland might wanna sign on, just sayin': campaigns.organizefor.org/petitions/re...

In this moment of federal overreach and cruelty, it’s particularly important to know your rights.
Washington state will always stand up for the rule of law.
Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation.
I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?
JFC indeed.
This isn't just a budget cut, it's a death sentence for thousands of Americans...

MEMORANDUM FOR THE PENTAGON PRESS ASSOCIATION SUBJECT: New Annual Media Rotation Program for Pentagon Press Corps For over a half-century, the Pentagon Press Corps has benefited from working out of individual office spaces that provide coveted and open access to some of the Department's top military and civilian leaders. Known as the Correspondents' Corridor, this office space loaned to media outlets by the Secretary of Defense stands as a tribute to the importance the Department has long placed on informing the public about the U.S. military and all it does to project peace through strength. It also honors the many correspondents who put their lives on the line, and in many cases died, while covering our finest in battle. In order to broaden access to the limited space of the Correspondents' Corridor to outlets that have not previously enjoyed the privilege and journalistic value of working from physical office space in the Pentagon, beginning February 14, 2025, the Office of the Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs will implement a new Annual Media Rotation Program for those dedicated media spaces. Each year, one outlet from each press medium - print, online, television and radio - that has enjoyed working from a physical office in the Pentagon will rotate out of the building to allow a new outlet from the same medium that has not had the unique opportunity to report as a resident member of the Pentagon Press Corps. This year, the following news outlets will begin their rotation by vacating their physical office space effective Friday, February 14, 2025: Print - The New York Times TV - NBC News Radio - National Public Radio Online News - POLITICO In their place, the following outlets from each medium will be invited to move into the Correspondents' Corridor workspaces formerly occupied by the above four outlets. Print - New York Post TV - One America News Network Radio - Breitbart News Network Online News - HuffPost News (aka The Huffington Post)
To be clear, the outlets that vacate the spaces loaned to them by the Secretary will remain as full members of the Pentagon Press Corps. They will continue to enjoy the same media access to the Pentagon and will be able to attend and cover briefings and be considered for travel with civilian and military leaders in the Department as they have previously. The only change will be giving up their physical workspaces in the building to allow new outlets to have their turn to become resident members of the Pentagon Press Corps. Thank you in advance for participating in the Pentagon Press Corps Annual Media Rotation Program. By turning over the office space loaned to you by the Secretary, you will ensure that new outlets will have the same opportunity you have enjoyed covering our nation's finest up close from office spaces inside the walls of the Pentagon.

HERNANDO, Miss. (WMC) - DeSoto County District Attorney Matthew Barton announced a proposed "bounty hunter" program that would pay people to report and identify undocumented immigrants. House Bill 1848, authored by State Representative Justin Keen, will be known as the Mississippi Illegal Alien Certified Bounty Hunter Program. The program would offer $1,000 to registered bounty hunters to assist U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in deporting people in DeSoto County. The money will be funded by the general assembly and administered by the state treasurer. "This program is a vital step in assisting our law enforcement agencies to better enforce immigration laws and ensure that those in this country unlawfully are sent back to their country of origin," Barton said. Barton says more than 1,000 undocumented immigrants were booked into DeSoto County's detention center in the past four years.
Mississippi's new HB 1848 proposes a $1,000 "bounty hunter" reward for turning in undocumented immigrants.
This state-sanctioned targeting fuels fear, endangers lives, and tears families apart.
It is inhumane and un-American to incentivize hunting vulnerable people.
i think the executive orders directing agencies to end energy efficiency regulations and open up more land to drilling and mining is so indicative of the character of the american right — in its view everything, whether people or our larger environment, is something to be exploited and dominated
Brave yourselves for more of the like.
Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?
Would anyone be willing to help #clearthelist?

Behind the scenes, the company was also quietly dismantling a system to prevent the spread of misinformation. When the company announced on Jan. 7 that it would end its fact-checking partnerships, the company also instructed teams responsible for ranking content in the company’s apps to stop penalizing misinformation, according to sources and an internal document obtained by Platformer. The result is that the sort of viral hoaxes that ran roughshod over the platform during the 2016 US presidential election — “Pope Francis endorses Trump,” Pizzagate, and all the rest — are now just as eligible for free amplification on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads as true stories.
NEW: Meta has quietly dismantled the system that prevented misinformation from spreading in the United States. Machine-learning classifiers that once identified viral hoaxes and limited their reach have now been switched off, Platformer has learned www.platformer.news/meta-ends-mi...
On the other hand “how can the city be so ill-prepared for a fire like this” BECAUSE IT IS A NEW KIND OF FIRE. CLIMATE CHANGE IS MAKING THINGS WORSE FASTER THAN WE CAN PREPARE. “Where is city leadership” then one second later “LAFD and amber alerts told us to evacuate” … that is city leadership babe
If the TikTok ban is permitted to stand, what makes anyone believe the “government” won’t go after other platforms like YouTube? It’s never been about ownership; it’s about the ability to suppress unflattering news cycles. TikTok provides a global outlet to document that which many want suppressed.
I know many of you are scared about the next four years.
Know that with this community we are building, we will get through it.
And, we will do it together.
Gaetz is rapist and a criminal and he cannot be our Attorney General.
Post from Latino pollster Mike Madrid: “Doing some research for an upcoming article on the last “mass deportation” of Mexicans during the 1930’s. Over half of those deported were US citizens.”
Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens.
Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”
Any 30-something kpop stans here? Not new to #kpoptwt but I left that community over a year ago.
I’d like to follow more kpop stans but I need old kpop stans.
