Good morning. Happy Monday. Minneapolis is still under federal occupation and thousands of my neighbors are still afraid of leaving their homes. Nothing has changed. www.cnn.com/2026/02/08/u...

Expect us in your congressional voicemail boxes Expect us in your email inboxes Expect us carrying signs in DC and in your home districts Expect us at the big rallies and the small Expect us at the primaries and then ... expect us at the midterms

Bad Bunny met this moment. Incredible!

A wonderful description of the Lesser Great Lakes in North America by Urban Atlas. Well done! youtu.be/gukHGOXWGgg?...

Agree. It was very disappointing, especially after the promising lead in by Samuel L. Jackson.

I can't be the only one who's seeing this.

I caught this soliloquy last night. It is chillingly accurate, and the delivery was hypnotic. Watch and listen to McKellen.

Seven years ago yesterday, this ad ran during the Super Bowl.

CURRENT U.S. PREZ: "Well, they're not laughing at us any more." THE REST OF US: "Yes. They are, and they're getting better at it."

Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

Key lesson from Texas special elections is they might try to rig the election but if we stay angry and show up they're gonna lose.

Here's another post designed to hype an article---which I probably would have read if the title hadn't been listed three times.

The group bike ride for Alex Pretti is about to depart in Minneapolis, stopping at his memorial, then Renee Good’s, and finishing at the VFW. If you can join, hop on anywhere. It’s a warm 17° & sunny! I’ve never seen this many cyclists for a group ride. ⚡️✊🏽⚡️🚲⚡️✊🏽⚡️ #RIPPretti

Oh! “A federal judge on Friday ruled the Energy Department violated the law when Secretary Chris Wright handpicked five researchers who reject the scientific consensus on climate change to work in secret on a sweeping government report on global warming.”

Get in, dorks. We're ready for round two. RALLY TO TAKE BACK SCIENCE! 🔬🧪✊ March 7th, 2026 in Washington, DC Learn more at www.standupforscience.net/ma... (link in our bio.)

If you’re giving money to a white supremacist who put thousands of my colleagues out of work, decimated American science, and killed millions of people just so you can use a water-guzzling, misinformation-hawking racist chatbot the least I can do is make you embarrassed to admit it out loud.

#GVerse Massive demonstrations at universities against the state of terror that #Shit4Brains is imposing through his personal Gestapo, #FuckICE. This one is at UCLA (Los Angeles).

Chuck ( @schumer.senate.gov ) Push for no deal unless ICE and DHS are dismantled. Period. With new, harsh SNAP benefit rules appearing in days---you will have far more #leverage on everything soon. Let the play develop Refuse to comply and shut down the federal government #shutdown #Senate

We need to guard against the decline of expertise.

This doesn't sound like dismantling, @schumer.senate.gov We need you to DISMANTLE ice --- as in pull apart, before starting over. Think of ice as you would a #Superfund remediation site.

Yes! While anti-fascism punk and folk tunes are the rage right now... ...the "regular stuff" (including various forms of painting and sculpture, nature photography, music, etc.) is sorely needed--and they brighten things up (really!!). Keep posting your art on YOUR terms.

Does anyone know if there are similar Icewatch training resources in #Chicago?

There are whispers of hope now. Stay strong. Stay engaged. Stay vigilant for our friends and neighbors--and don't stop fighting.

Reminder to @durbin.senate.gov and @duckworth.senate.gov to tear ICE and DHS down to the studs. No back-room half-measures. ---shut it down, ---dismantle it and tear it apart (fire everyone) ---and start over #Senate #DHS #ICE #budget

Neighborism. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

gee whiz it would be really great if the opposition party smelled blood in the water right now and went on a full offensive to harness this spark of momentum

Chicago stands with Minnesota.

I agree, we will see plenty of "federal" commercials during the @NFL games today. The #NationalFootballLeague should pull them. And the #NFLPlayersUnion could make a demonstration or two during the national anthem.

Not really a fan of milquetoasty conservative writer Bill Kristol, but moments ago he called for this I get that it's only one guy, but are normie Rs close to flipping on this issue? Still aspirational right now---but let's see if other conservative writers & podcasters follow in the coming days

#Illinois residents: Dick Durbin's @durbin.senate.gov voicemail does not appear to have been set up. So, making sure he gets the message to kill the DHS bill (and additional Ice funding) is pretty tough. You can leave a comment on his website, but that's always so unsatisfying.

Senators, especially Dick Durbin @durbin.senate.gov and Tammy Duckworth @duckworth.senate.gov Do not vote to give Ice one more red cent. Also, WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU??? Call for Ice's dismantling this afternoon---in public---ON TV--- The agency is openly hostile and negligent.

So. No particular order… Tell me again we’re still the dependable nation. He’s proving Carney’s point from that speech in Davos Convenient the markets are closed, no? The President of the United States is a chaos agent. Republicans in Congress endorse this with their silence.

American Midwest, this is what happened in one of our largest cities yesterday. Take it in. Stay in the fight for democracy. We have friends everywhere 🇺🇸

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

Thread. And call your electeds this morning---and instruct them to limit Ice funding any way possible. And that you have their backs on this. ATTN: Dick Durbin @durbin.senate.gov Tammy Duckworth @duckworth.senate.gov Chuy Garcia @chuygarcia.house.gov JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov

"ICE has lost the public, which means taking a hard line against it, deeming it irremediable as an institution, has become a source of power." Agree with @brianbeutler.bsky.social on how to talk about dismantling of ICE: www.offmessage.net/p/abolish-ic...

Everyone’s sharing this “cows use tools” news like they’re harmless creatures. You guys know that cows kill more people than sharks do, right? Right?

Moulton: I have an idea for ICE funding: zero. That’s what ICE needs.

Zero out Ice's budget. Seriously. @durbin.senate.gov @duckworth.senate.gov @chuygarcia.house.gov

Tfw the dog won’t wag

"Abolish Ice" has become a normie position.
