Barack Obama almost never jumps into the chaos. The fact that he’s speaking out now — repeatedly and urgently — is a warning. Something is deeply wrong. America needs to listen.

The Trump administration’s sole unifying message is white supremacy. They are constantly looking for ways to express it.

You need to know about the SAVE Act, which recently passed in the House. So here's a crash course from reporter Ari Berman on how the sweeping voter restriction bill could disenfranchise millions of Americans

"Trump doesn’t believe in anything except himself... When that resistance and those protests actually made his policies tremendously unpopular, he relented. And I think it’s a lesson that we should apply elsewhere when he engages in outrageous activities...” www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/u...

It is time for everyone to speak up. And that includes, by the way all of our ex-presidents and most of our ex-former military leaders and others who held top offices who are choosing to remain relatively quiet on the sidelines. Now is a time for all not just to speak out but to be true activists.

The Virginia Supreme Court has ruled that the state can put a redistricting plan on the ballot this spring that could add as many as four more Democratic seats in Congress. The referendum will take place on April 21.

valentine's day isn't just for couples, it's also a day to celebrate love. for instance, i would love it if housing prices came down.

Erika Kirk Faces Backlash Over Alleged 'Inappropriate' Texts With A 15-Year-Old: 'Absolutely Vile'

I wrote about the right-wing Super Bowl halftime show as part of a larger project to create and maintain an unreality in which the American right is culturally and politically dominant. The worst part: It works. badfaithtimes.com/nothing-real...

Wild that a sitting member of Congress, a Republican no less, feels compelled to post this.

Donald Trump is playing politics yet again with your money. His decision to block funding rightfully coming to our state comes at a real cost to our economy. Illinois is fighting this lawless action by Trump's DOT in court.

DHS is shutting down because it refuses to obey the law. They are tear-gassing schools, killing American citizens, and disappearing legal immigrants. Democrats shouldn’t fund an out of control ICE.

You might think that the inhumane conditions at America's concentration camps is because of this administration's usual lazy incompetence, but, no, it's because of this administration's usual vicious cruelty.

Are you one of nearly 70 million American women who changed their names when they got married? 🙋‍♀️ Republicans in Congress want to make it harder for you to vote. Tell your senator to oppose the SAVE Act. indivisible.org/actions/stop...

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

If he were Black or Brown, it would be called a ‘prison gang’, not a ‘White Guys Group’.

Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”

(AXIOS) - President Trump has become so politically toxic that voters now say Joe Biden — whose unpopularity forced him into early retirement — did a better job as president, according to three new polls. @axios.com www.axios.com/2026/02/12/t...

If my followers have been inspired by the fierce resistance the Twin Cities has put up to ICE, you should make it a point to take a trip here (April through October 😬), enjoy the wonderful things MN has to offer and support our small businesses. It continues to be a really tough time for them.

Today’s CBO report says US consumers pay 95% of tariffs. 🤡 @brendanvduke.bsky.social www.cbo.gov/system/files...

This is utterly deranged behavior from a U.S. attorney general

Pam Bondi just laughed when asked if she would apologize to Epstein Survivors.

Pam Bondi just refused to turn around and look at the survivors. She refused.

MS NOW: "A congressional official with knowledge of the matter is telling MS NOW the cause of the shutdown of El Paso airspace is a lack of communication between the Pentagon and FAA. The official told us the FAA and DOD are 'not in clear communications with each other.'"

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

If you visit the Upper Peninsula of Michigan & go to the shores of Lake Superior at night, be sure to bring a long-wave UV light source so you can hunt for fluorescent Yooper Stones. "Yooper" here is a play on 'U.P.' (Upper Peninsula), but they're rocks that contain a fluorescent mineral, sodalite.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court DISMISSES DOJ lawsuit to gain access to Michigan’ unredacted statewide voter registration list. Another BIG victory for our clients and voters. Another stunning defeat for Pam Bondi. www.democracydocket.com/cases/michig...

Had enough of this shit yet, Michigan?

Here is my conclusion after sitting through Maxwell's deposition with her refusing to answer a single question about the men who raped underage girls, saying she would only do so for clemency. She must immediately be sent back to the maximum security prison where she belongs.

You know what they’re going to store in those warehouses? People

#BadBunny's performers continued to dance and party outside the stadium after the #SuperBowl #HalftimeShow

heads up to the american news media: I do not care what racists thought of the super bowl halftime show

america could be such a cool fucking place if we’d just let it be

The billboard behind Bad Bunny during this halftime performance reads: "The only thing more powerful than hate is love." #SuperBowl

I have a dream

What Hess said: “There’s obviously a lot going on that I’m not the biggest fan of, and I think a lot of people aren’t. … Just because I’m wearing the flag doesn’t mean I represent everything that’s going on in the U.S.” Trump, the actual president, has insulted Dems repeatedly. wapo.st/46eFns3

The media moved on when trump said he had a new tone because as the constitution states the president is the editor in chief of all news outlets

If you're a business owner who fires someone you have assigned to an overseas job and you don't buy them a plane ticket home you should actually go to prison

It doesn’t get any more disgusting than this.

NYT confirming MS NOW reporting: Prosecutors began investigating Renee Good's killing, then Washington told them to stop. Federal prosecutors had a warrant to collect evidence from Good's vehicle, but Trump leaders said to drop it. About a dozen prosecutors have since departed.

Just watch. The olympic audience cheers American athletes. But the moment JD Vance appears on screen they boo. The world doesn't hate *America.* It hates our corrupt, lawless leaders. And the moment we remove them from power, the vibe can shift again.

Accountability is no longer a thing in the U.S. apnews.com/article/jeff...

I think a lot of white people believe that they were covered in magic dust at birth that makes them perfect in every way. My observation as a white person is that we are basically allergic to self-examination. Self-congratulation doesn’t count, but a lot of us seem to think it does.

😕

Jeffrey Epstein’s prison cellmate claims to have evidence that the Trump administration wanted the disgraced financier dead and left him unprotected “on purpose,” according to a document obtained by the Daily Beast. www.thedailybeast.com/epstein-cell...

NBC editing out the booing of JD Vance is a disgrace. It’s an international event. Americans have the right to know what the world is saying. NBC has bowed down to Trump.

AWFUL news tonight. This blesses the “mandatory” detention in the 5th Circuit without bond (and little chance at habeas) of every undocumented immigrant who originally entered across the border, no matter how many decades in the past. It will fuel ICE’s push to transfer people to Texas immediately.
