Sighted at a bookstore in Stuttgart, Germany... @anneapplebaum.bsky.social

Another day, another outrage.

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio. Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3. Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

The Boss responds...

OMFG!

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

We salute these VA workers for honoring #AlexPretti. As they say, "We are healthcare workers for veterans. We know what heroes look like." youtube.com/shorts/bgCcE...

The state of the USA right now, summed up in one article...

ALEX JEFFREY PRETTI. Gone, but never forgotten... #RIP_Alex 💔

“We are starting to build a huge ICE OUT sign on Lake Nokomis [in Mpls.] 100 foot letters for MSP flights to see. By day snow letters, by night we’ll light w/ candles in white paper bags Send this widely. Tonight will get it outlined. Tomorrow night we’ll light it up and keep it going all week.“

Well this is most definitely something big...

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

Let us all have the courage displayed by the residents of Minneapolis.

This moment in history provides us with incontrovertible evidence that all the conservatives who claim to be extremely devoted to freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, and opposed to the encroachment of tyranny, are completely and totally full of shit. It's all white supremacy and greed.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

A 🧵 of incredible eye-witness reporting. "Whose streets? Our streets!"

It's time.

Read the responses for the harrowing comparisons. TLDR-version: This is much worse now.

We created this guide for anyone who could experience a miscarriage in a state with abortion restrictions. We wrote it in consultation with dozens of doctors, including those who regularly treat patients who are miscarrying 👇

On a downtown street in Minneapolis, as people stream out from the massive march, Mary Tyler Moore says “fuck ice.”

FYI: Dems in the senate can't defund ICE. ICE is funded by the Big Ugly Bill. Shutting down DHS on this vote wouldn't touch ICE, but it would shut down FEMA, TSA, Coast Guard, etc. Shutting down ICE requires taking back Congress in the midterms. Dismantling DHS requires the White House in 2028.

206 House Democrats voted to shut down DHS today. 7 Democrats voted to fund it. That’s like 3% of democrats. Easily fixable. No need to abandon the party over 3%. However, 100% of ICE sucks. Abolish ICE.

I don't know. Sounds kind of bad!

Trump's Board of Peace charter puts Trump personally in charge of its accounts with zero independent oversight whatsoever. That means it is designed to be a club exclusively for dictators since no democratic country would give $1 billion of its taxpayer's money as a personal gift to pedo Trump.

For any other US citizens living abroad, this is an excellent and easy way to submit your ballot request for 2026 elections. #VoteFromAbroad www.votefromabroad.org

And Americans just like lah dee dah

This is a tremendous find if it turns out to be true...

How am I only now learning that Polly Jean is on here? bsky.app/profile/pjha...

It's been one month since the deadline to release all of the Epstein files. The Trump Justice Department has released less than 1% of all the files.

What the fuck is this, bsky.app/profile/axio...? Are you fucking kidding me? Pull you goddamned collective heads out of your asses and report the truth about the US throwing its reputation down the shitter!

Quite a quote from Texans LB Azeez Al-Shaair, who was asked about his STOP THE GENOCIDE eye black after today’s game www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

Just look at this. Fucking incredible this is what life in the US looks like right now.

DOJ investigating whether Denmark lied on its Greenland mortgage.

A joke for the history buffs: Germany’s satirical newspaper @der-postillon.com titles: “Vienna Academy of the Arts offers Trump admission as a student — They don’t want to get blamed again“

It’s weird that Trump can stand up to allies but not Russia

Although so much right now disgusts me about my country, moments like this, experiencing the power and beauty of the resistance, fill me with pride.

Each day's new absurdity is only meant to distract us from not noticing it was another day without the Epstein files being released. #EpsteinFiles

At least something in these dark times to look forward to...

crazy that the website that I randomly decided to put together at 10AM yesterday has had over 25k unique visitors in 24 hours. please keep sharing with your networks.

When the racist meme becomes national policy

I am definitely on board with all of this. I would only really add campaign finance reform and repealing Citizens United as important steps which would make the other goals easier to achieve. www.americandemands.com
