Feds seized Ilhan Omar's phone and subpoenaed members of her family just weeks before the 2026 midterms:
DOJ seized Rep. Ilhan Omar’s phone, subpoenaed family members in immigration status probe
The subpoenas were sent just days before federal agents searched the progressive ‘Squad’ member’s home, a person familiar with the investigation told NBC News.

In addition to the broader literacy crisis, we're also in a power literacy crisis. Many folks deeply misunderstand how political power works, who has it, and how to build it. And all of that is happening while more folks are using the language of organizing without grasping its most basic tenets.
Very revealing moment for the press here. The unstated premise of this question is they cannot understand how Democrats are different from Republicans. That Democrats are capable of abstract, critical thought, and Republicans just use their mouths to reflexively echo.
Jesi🃏♠️🔥@luciferjesit.bsky.social · 2d agoThis was such a great answer from Abdul El-Sayed about his previous criticisms of President Obama.
The US knows Ukrainian air defense relies on US early detection of Russian launches. Without telling Ukraine, the Trump White House (and Elon Musk's SpaceX) withheld that info and hindered countermeasures. The US just facilitated a Russian attack on Ukraine, making it more effective and deadlier.
The Atlantic is part of the elite media trend of redirecting the anti-AI backlash toward Black, Caribbean, and African targets. I will also note here that much of the human intelligence that is training the AI models is Black laborers working in digital sweatshops in Africa and Latin America.
Karen Attiah@karenattiah.bsky.social · 23h agoIt is really chilling to see how quickly Black, Caribbean, and African writers and academics have become the global face of AI use and accusations of plagiarism. For such a serious charge, @vauhinivara.bsky.social's article rests on...a Pangram scan. www.theatlantic.com/books/2026/1...
The worst Ebola outbreak in the world is ongoing in the DRC and you’re not being informed about it in part because the reason it is spiralling is US politics. At least one person who was suffering from the disease crossed into Uganda by road and then flew from Kampala to Nairobi where he died.
Musk unilaterally shut off a defensive capability just as Russia attacked power plants with winter approaching I don't know why anyone trusted him before, but certainly nobody can afford an Elon Musk dependency after this
UNITED24 Media@united24media.com · yesterday🚨 Russia launched a massive attack targeting all Kyiv’s power plants.
Just so you understand the scale of betrayal: first, our "partners" didn't warn Ukraine about the incoming ballistic missiles, so the air raid alert wasn't activated before impact, robbing people of their chance to survive. Then, Starlink was restricted to stop working at speeds above 100 mph.
BREAKING: " Videos collected by local investigators make it “pretty obvious” that an ICE officer intentionally ran over Miguel Parra Hernandez during an immigration stop Saturday, which could lead to assault charges, the district attorney said Tuesday."

If the US does not give Ukraine intel on missile launches, people die because they have no time to go to safety. Multiple friends of mine said there was no warning at all before the explosions.
Ukraine Says It Received No Intelligence About Strikes 2 Nights in a Row (Gift Article)
Asked about apparent U.S. threats to cut off intelligence sharing with Kyiv, which can warn of Russian aerial attacks, President Trump said information continued to flow.

Mind blowing to think without Richard Corben, we wouldn’t have Naussica, and everything that flowed from that. 🤯
Animation Obsessive@ani-obsessive.bsky.social · 3d agoIn 1980, Hayao Miyazaki felt creatively washed up. Then he read an American comic that amazed him. Its name: Rowlf. As he tried to adapt it into a movie, Miyazaki evolved and found a new approach that reshaped his work. We're looking into the story: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/an-unmade-...

Can't believe Jean Twenge, the woman who has dedicated her career to manipulating data about teen mental health, would manipulate data about teen sexuality.
Christopher Julian@chrisajulian.bsky.social · 6d agoI reanalyzed the CDC data behind the LGB “free fall” headline. It rests on a change in bisexual identification among one grade, in one wave, of one survey. Gay or lesbian identification did not change significantly. Calling it a "free fall" is sensational and just gives bad actors talking points.
New: an AI company now lets cops identify specific houses, using data from Zillow and Airbnb, based on a single photo. It's part of Raven, previously called Geospy. Company previously demoed its tools to catch people vandalizing Flock cameras or protesters www.404media.co/ai-company-l...
AI Company Lets Cops Pinpoint Specific Houses Based on a Single Interior Photo

I think freer speech would be letting people choose what is and isn't popular on social media vs. companies getting to choose that for people.
Hey California! Be careful this election because the big money creeps are trying to trick you (again).
for ICE to be abolished, it would take a broad willingness among white democratic voters to make that a non-negotiable through at least 2-4 more cycles primary elections, instead of opting for a white reconciliation based on anti-immigrant and anti-black politics. more folks should read derrick bell
The administration's goal, openly stated, is to consolidate police power in the country and create a huge, well-funded, extremely aggrieved, pro-MAGA, anti-immigrant, anti-protestor police force the likes of which we have never seen in this country.
Some days when I feel resentful about having spent years explaining that criminalization is the fuel of fascism which is why we have to reject criminalization, I remember that perhaps the time I say it might be the first time someone has considered the idea. So I keep saying it and keep organizing.
whenever trump's DOJ has to go in front of a judge to get yelled at, every lawyer on here is like "omg i've NEVER seen a judge this mad, if a judge yelled at me like this i'd immediately commit seppeku," and then at the end of the hearing the judge is like "ok no sanctions just don't do it again"
Here’s some Dora Abodi art to make your Sunday a little better.
The 287(g) program teaming local cops with ICE has created an American secret police Check out what happens in Carroll Twp., Pa. when Sgt. Terry Williams spots a resident filming an immigration arrest It's legal to film traffic stops. This is unconstitutional (full column in 2nd post)
This is quite literally what happened to one of my grandparents in 1933. You know, in case we still have folks in the “it’s not fascism if it doesn’t meet these very specific, arbitrary characteristics based on my own refusal to accept responsibility to oppose it” crowd.
Billie Jean Sweeney@billiejsweeney.bsky.social · 3d agoYou can’t get more Gestapo than this…. “a criminal probe into her immigration paperwork, which her late father filled out after the family emigrated to the U.S. from Somalia when she was a child”
There will be a lot of equivocating about all the times search warrants have been executed on members of Congress for corruption investigations and the like, and it can't be stressed enough in how many ways HSI raiding Ilhan Omar is extremely not like that.
