Guaranteed: 1) Black girls will be harassed and demanded to be tested over and over again regardless of how competitive they are. 2) Winners from public schools will be relentlessly hounded by the parents and coaches of losers at private schools, with the goal of making them quit the sport.

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

No I did not, nor will I ever, 100% submit. Thanks jonnyboy for the validation. (13 years married and going strong!)

The perfect obit headline for this particular climate denier, who knew better but preferred to live a lie heatmap.news/daily/lee-raymond

Congressional statute: "There is a Director of National Intelligence who shall be appointed by the President ... Any individual nominated for appointment as Director of National Intelligence shall have extensive national security expertise." 50 U.S. Code § 3023

Not only is this $300B of our money to reopen a shipping lane that was already wide open for free but the entire SNAP budget is $100B/year and I was told we couldn’t afford to feed American children fruits and vegetables

Casting a vote for this man will haunt me for a long, long time.

A child's education shouldn't depend on their zip code.

Can one cross an aisle if both are on the same side? In Fetterman's newsletter today.

I'm exhausted by all the efforts to rewrite the history of the 2022 US Senate primary in Pennsylvania, with folks insisting "we told you so!" as to Fetterman, that Conor Lamb was always the better choice, and generally ignoring Malcolm Kenyatta's historic candidacy. So let me say a few things. 🧵1/

if you believe in any form of free enterprise at all, the idea that the Pentagon can not only cut off your contract but designate you a supply chain risk and prevent other companies from buying from you just because you won't build killbots for the government should be terrifying

You know, I called about the Boundary Waters in MN which is a federal Wilderness Area but thanks for schooling me on "multiple use" and "the Allegany." In fairness, I can definitely see how it might be difficult for a guy who lives in CT to spell "Allegheny" correctly.

Alright, ladies! Meanwhile the men's team was partying with Kash and apparently leapt at the SOTU invite. The future of sports is female.

BREAKING: A push to name one of Chicago’s snowplows “Abolish ICE,” clearly linking the humorous pun to efforts to oppose President Donald Trump’s mass deportation effort, won the city’s annual snowplow naming contest, officials announced. @wttw.bsky.social

History is not just about the past. It is about the present. It is about the future. Eighty-four years ago today, my grandparents and great grandparents were unjustly declared illegal citizens and were incarcerated by the US Government, entirely based on race. #scrubnothing

Truly evil. Read this excellent breakdown.

Yep.

He prefers to be called Mr. President.

“Collection of Handwritten Letters from Children in Detention Center” sounds like an exhibit in the Holocaust Museum.

For all my girlfriends who have ever had some random guy tell you to "smile".

I just signed a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social petition: Tell Allegheny County: No Collaboration With ICE. Sign here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

Adding one more post to what I hope is a pile-on here. What an amazing woman.

I needed this glimmer of hope. Maybe you do too. Huge shoutout to the good citizens of Hanover County, VA and British Columbia, Canada.

I mean, I guess if your definition of "dark money" includes a bunch of church ladies organizing to knit hats as a fundraiser? (Legit happening in my city, and I can't wait to purchase mine.)

A reminder that the New England Patriots plane is flown by Omni air who contracts with ICE to fly people in chains to Africa and Asia several times per week. Go Seahawks.

What would we think today about a union that represented SS agents?

I was born in St. Peter but my family moved to a suburb of St. Paul when I was 2. I haven't been there since but this makes me proud to call this town my birthplace. I hope more cities and towns step up like this. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

I assume a lot of work will need to be done for these buildings to serve even the most basic detention purposes - what if there was no one to do the work? What if people were out there picketing the construction zone? What if the unions called a strike? www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

Let’s try this one in foreign correspondent voice: State Security Forces Arrest Journalist Who Covered Protests Against Regime Official

This is the BEST explanation I have seen so far.

Look, I know it's hilarious that the pro-gun party is suddenly anti-gun, but the Panthers proved this decades ago.

I've never been more proud of my Minnesota roots (and I've been proud.)

$15.64/day * 4 people * 30 days/mo. = $1876.89/mo., or around 6.5 weeks of minimum wage pay.

Yep.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention. The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

I called Sen McCormick's office re: the pause on immigrant visas. Within 20 mins I rec'd an email thanking me for "sharing your thoughts regarding the recent fatal shooting in Minneapolis". It then of course proceeded to justify ICE violence and extrajudicial murder because of victims' "rhetoric."

I grew up in Minnesota. Can confirm.

I'm used to saying "Let's Go Bucs!" but today it's "Let's Go Bucks!" Hoping to see more of these headlines.

City of Pittsburgh Mayor Corey O’Connor just claimed that the lights on the Smithfield Bridge have been off for 3 years and that he fixed them. Such a weird thing to lie about. Anyways…receipts.

they've got Raffi calling for regime change. something has shifted.

excited to award my kids the Burger King Peace Prize this weekend

My great-great-grandmother was born in the Tanner Street Work House in London. She immigrated to the U.S. for a better chance, and now almost 150 years later, here we are with plans to resurrect this failed system. Horrifying.

Spotify is helping ICE recruit more agents to infringe our rights and terrorize our communities. Stop paying for or using the app until Spotify stops running ads for ICE: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify?source=bluesky

Fox legal analyst responds to Trump’s unhinged and psychotic posts calling for Democratic senators and representatives to be executed for posting a video urging service members to obey their oath to the Constitution and follow the law in the UCMJ.

Hard to say goodbye to years worth of carefully curated playlists but once I learned that Spotify is running ads about "millions of dangerous illegals rampaging the streets" it had to be done. This is a music platform running hate speech. Hard pass. Giving Qobuz a try.

See the issue is that Trump ran on releasing on the Epstein files, and Bondi said she had them sitting on her desk ready to go, and then Elon Musk tweeted that Trump was in them and they were suddenly deemed a hoax and Ghislaine was moved to a spa prison, so you can understand the fresh intrigue

I recently have had several interactions with high school aged young people who couldn't remember their own cell phone number. It's happened enough that I assume it's somewhat normal, though I really don't understand how that works - do young people not exchange numbers?

Well done, homeowner! Know your rights. Make sure they have a real warrant. www.wehaverights.us
