BREAKING: Pentagon press policy ruled unconstitutional in case brought by N.Y. Times www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

“They got money for wars, but can’t feed the poor.” — Tupac said it years ago… and here we are. The Pentagon is now asking for an additional $200 BILLION for this war. We always find the money for war. But when it comes to housing, healthcare, or feeding people? Suddenly it’s crickets.

Gig workers feel pain at the pump as gas prices hit 21-month highs

Never give up the fight to empower women! #internationalwomensday

“bolstered finances, scholarships and jobs.” Imagine that! #InternationalWomensDay

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

Neil Sedaka, the million-selling singer and songwriter, has died. His many hits included “Breaking Up Is Hard to Do,” “Calendar Girl” and “Oh! Carol,” a lament for his high school sweetheart, Carole King.

Mary Walsh/CBS: “We've been told to aim our reporting at a particular part of the political spectrum. Honestly, I don't know how to do that.” Bob Schieffer: "We were lucky because we were part of something grand, something that made a difference and no one can take that away from us."

Knight told "SportsCenter" that this is a "good learning point, to really focus on how we talk about women, not only in sport but in industry. Women aren't less than, and their achievements shouldn't be overshadowed by anything else other than how great they are." www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/...

We are watching people in power continually stoke division because it’s easier to mobilize anger than to actually lead. Their rhetoric is stuck in the past. Why not focus on moving forward? Words can be weapons. Especially when they are used to inflame, not inform. Language is a choice.

The GoFundMe in honor of Wes Rucker is live, and people's generosity has already been incredible. Lauren, his wife, Hank, their son, and their soon-to-be-born daughter could use any and all support, as Wes was in a job transition and did not have a life insurance policy. #Vols #Tennessee #Give

@barackobama.bsky.social: "When I was POTUS, I suppose I could have simply unilaterally ordered the military to go into some red state and harass and intimidate a governor or cut off funding for states that didn't vote for me... but that is contrary to how I think our democracy is supposed to work."

More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

CBS News employees were told today that “Independent Americans “want to equip themselves with all the facts,” They were also informed of all the paid contributors and columnists being brought on board. You know, people who provide opinions, not facts. 🤷🏼‍♀️ variety.com/2026/tv/news...

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

Minnesota helpers covering all the bases! 👊🏻

BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today. This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

This video is light enough to be entertaining and informative enough to be worthwhile. It is possible for a public servant to provide information in a simple, pleasant way. No victimhood, blame or negativity. This is the standard we should hold all elected officials to.

“When media institutions hedge in moments that demand clarity, they don’t look fair. They look handcuffed. People can feel the difference. You can’t earn or retain trust by lowering the bar for truth.” www.linkedin.com/posts/meliss...

Directing traffic, recording on his phone, trying to help woman shoved down on the snow and then pepper sprayed in the face is what he describes as someone who “wanted to do maximum damage & massacre law enforcement.” Any news organization who takes this statement as fact can’t be trusted. Ever.

Heroic and heartbreaking! Godspeed, Minnesota.

“Untrained officers” ?? I don’t think anyone believes this is just a result of lack of training. More like sanctioned vigilantism. Masked murder. Endorsed escalation. Domestic terrorizing. I hope your conversation with the WH contained words a bit stronger than “sickening.” 💔 😡 👀

This is so fucking haunting.

I have no words. 💔

California just joined the World Health Organization. I love it.

NEW from me: Hundreds of clergy descend on Minneapolis and go on lookout for ICE —> religionnews.com/2026/01/22/h...

What is the point of this Congressional hearing? To serve the public? ❌ To inform the public? ❌ To get questions answered? ❌ To give MOC air time to score points for their political base & against partisan adversaries? ✅✅ Imagine not being able to discern D or R just from questions/tone. 🤔

St Paul Parks and Rec really going through it

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin. This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

Wouldn’t allow him to retrieve his i.d. inside his home then demanded it once he was outside in only his boxers. 😡

This is pure, unabashed bigotry. If a politician said this about any other faith, they would rightfully be run out of their party. But this kind of despicable anti-Muslim rhetoric is so normalized that a sitting Senator uses it without consequence. A stain on our Congress.

Surrender?? Do people actually think that sounds patriotic?

#Rams In the snow. 🔥

Right-wing influencer seems a bit…incomplete. “Lang was convicted of assaulting a police officer with a baseball bat in the U.S. Capitol attack on Jan. 6, 2021, and spent four years in a federal jail before he was pardoned by President Donald Trump.”

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

My daughter's school in Richfield, MN (adjacent to Minneapolis) is closing tomorrow due of out-of-control federal agents. Fourth graders spent the week building walls of snow at recess to protect their classmates from ICE. This isn't about immigration enforcement, it's about terror.

Who feels safer?? 😡

Anyone else struggling to focus today? Not because it’s Monday or because the work is inherently difficult, but because the world feels so unstable, and loud. www.linkedin.com/posts/meliss...?

Archaeologists: D.C. Capitol May Have Once Been Used For Legislating https://theonion.com/archaeologists-d-c-capitol-may-have-once-been-used-for-legislating/

🔥 @markruffalo.bsky.social : “I gotta be honest, I’m not feeling so great. Renee Good was murdered... stormtroopers running around terrorizing. As much as I love all this, I can’t pretend all this crazy stuff isn’t happening. We have a president who says laws don’t apply to him- this is crazy.”

What is dangerous and ridiculous is this spin and anyone calling the victim a domestic terrorist. Toning down the rhetoric would include something like “This was a terrible tragedy that will be investigated. Until then, the agent has been relieved of duty while we review our policies.”

This is a profound loss to all lovers of truth and objectivity in journalism. www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...
