The number of confirmed #measles cases in South Carolina has hit an astonishing 558 in an outbreak that started in October. For context: that is more cases in 4 months than the entire US racked up most years in the past 30+ years. https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/measles-cases-south-carolina-rise-by-124-558-state-health-department-says-2026-01-16/

#RUSSIA WILL PRODUCE 1,000 SHAHED-TYPE DRONES PER DAY: As peace talks continue Russia continues to ramp up armament, increasing drone production to 1,000 units per day, Ukraine’s Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi stated in an interview with #Ukrainian media.

the "I Have a Dream" speech is important

"Letter from a Birmingham Jail" is a must read

@TreeVor agreed. We will have signed our own death warrant. And frankly, it might be for the best. If the EU calls in its debts, the very very best financial decision blue States can do to protect the massive corporations headquartered here is to pursue financial arrangements directly with EU/NATO member states. When that starts happening, America is officially done.

“How dare they protest in that ICE field office director’s church!” Meanwhile they had nothing to say when ICE raided churches and shot pastors in the face with pepper balls and chemicals👇🏽 🤔

Another embarrassing appearance from the always humiliating “Pinocchiogles” Rep Andy Ogles, the biggest liar in Congress who lied and deceived to get elected, who parrots the lie that 70% have violent records — the numbers show 70% have no record at all. (From @atrupar.com@bsky.brid.gy )

“'One ICE agent said if we let you see your clients, we would have to let all the attorneys see their clients, and imagine the chaos,' said another attorney who asked not to be named. 'And I said to that person, yeah, you do have to let all the attorneys see their clients. You do have to accommodate that. That’s the Constitution. You chose to put them here. I didn't bring this guy here, you did.'"

They're not sending their best.

Trump is a threat to US national security.
Always has been. Consider his bathroom full of stolen US secrets from his first term.

The damage to US integrity is likely permanent and will be followed by economic collapse if allowed to continue. That collapse will last longer for every day the US government remains in league with #Russia and #China.

Admit it - you heard Rod Serling.

Ukraine’s 7th Air Assault Corps says 370 Russian troops were killed or wounded near Pokrovsk this week. Russia’s 76th Airborne Division faces major losses, while Ukrainian forces block enemy advances around Myrnohrad and Pokrovsk’s industrial zone. #Ukraine

New from 404 Media: ICE's facial recognition app, which the agency is using to decide who to detain and deport, misidentified a woman. Twice.

ICE says results of the app are definitive and override a birth certificate; obviously this case shows the app is inaccurate

When retaliating against Trump, I hope the EU targets digital services.

Tariffs on Amazon and Facebook incentivises a digital decoupling from the the US, it shows Trump's oligarchs, that supporting Trump is the road to ruin, while NOT preventing the poor from putting food on the table.

Hit those Zuckerbergs.

Raw Story:
This red state is sounding a warning we all need to heed

What this proves — undeniably and more evident every day — is that the environmentalists were right. The predictions of the consequences of overloading the atmosphere with human-caused pollutants are now coming home to roost.

Trump and DOJ are weeks late in releasing the Epstein Files!
Impeachment is now required. Then release the Epstein Files.

Arizona’s @gallego.senate.gov@bsky.brid.gy : "I think ICE needs to be totally torn down… People want immigration enforcement that goes after criminals, not the goon squad that has come from Stephen Miller and Trump."

Putin’s Puppet the Pedophile put $500 million from the sale of Venezuelan oil, not in Venezuela, not in the US, but in a bank in QATAR, the same country that BRIBED him with a JET AIRPLANE

Dear beltway reporters, the next time she appears in public, please ask her to prove her citizenship right there on the spot. Does she carry her birth certificate? Her passport?
