According to our sources in Williamsport, the vehicles have arrived.
Project Salt Box@projectsaltbox.com · 6mo agoRoughly 100 ICE vehicles are on their way to a warehouse in Western Maryland, as signs mount of an impending operation here.
For the first time since @projectsaltbox.bsky.social launched their DHS warehouse acquisition tracker, the number of canceled sales is higher than any of the other warehouse-related figures. We've reached a tipping point, folks. lookerstudio.google.com/reporting/b0...
What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses? Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards My new column on the camps www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

We had $18k in rent requests come in just today (so far). We’re anticipating needs at our neighborhood school to be over $100k again this month, but this time donations are WAY down. We don’t have enough money to cover everyone. Please help us keep our neighbors w/ young kids from being evicted!

Norm Charlatan@normcharlatan.bsky.social · 7mo agoThe other part is that there’s tons of cascading problems that require systemic solutions, most notably, getting people economic support who haven’t been able to work for the past two (or more) months because the federal government was trying to ethnically cleanse them. Rent is due this week.
Last night, I was assaulted by a man at Sundance Festival who told me that Trump was going to deport me before he punched me in the face. He was heard screaming racist remarks as he drunkenly ran off. The individual was arrested and I am okay. variety.com/2026/film/ne...

A man was arrested at CAA's Sundance party after he declared he was proud to be "white" and allegedly punched a person of color.

Feels like it should be a pretty big deal that a Trump supporter physically assaulted a Democratic congressman

White Americans are learning once again that the *only* thing that has ever made you safe from fascism is being willing to sacrifice non-white people. That is your contract with white supremacy. "Give us someone else so it won't be you."
YES THAT'S WHAT MANY OF US HAVE BEEN SAYING FOR YEARS AND THATS WHY WE DON'T USE IT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

When I was studying historical linguistics, one of the most mind-blowing things was just how often we had primary texts to research an extinct language because someone found a book at a library that nobody knew was there. Many libraries are so old and so big that we don't know what's in them.
Contingent Magazine@contingent-mag.bsky.social · 9mo agoSeems like it's worth posting this one again.
David Graham, a day later: “Remember what yesterday’s attempted coup at the U.S. Capitol was like. Very soon, someone might try to convince you that it was different. Maybe someone already has.” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
Don’t Let Them Pretend This Didn’t Happen
The violence at the Capitol was incited, encouraged, and condoned by the president of the United States. Don’t forget it.

A reminder - before Trump, MAGA, Musk and Fox rewrote history - that this is what the entire country agreed had happened five years ago today:

Day 8 of President Trump’s shutdown: I’m alarmed that federal workers, including TSA agents and air traffic controllers, will miss their first full paycheck this Friday because of the President’s federal shutdown. This is no way to run a government. https://bit.ly/4o8GVKv
“I’m proud to be one of US… I’m ready to fight for US… the 🇺🇸 House of Representatives must be centered on US…” MEMPHIS Rep. @Justinjpearson’s campaign for Congress launch video👇🏽 (which mentions #MedicareForAll as a policy priority 🏆 )
The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session. Want to know why? Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out. Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.
Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later. harpers.org/archive/1941...

Senate Republicans just voted to shut down the government — blocking our bill to fund it responsibly, protect health care, and stop Trump from getting a blank check for his lawlessness. They’d rather please their Dear Leader than deliver for the American people. Shameful.
