ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota. This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and he’s been getting death threats. They hate the helpers. Which is why must keep helping.

whole heartedly endorse this idea

Thomas More as a young man. Pre-Holbein. Still pretty intense! Today is his birthday.

There is no substitute. And when you lean on AI because you don't have skills built from doing the thing yourself? You haven't learned anything. You don't know what you don't know--you'll miss how AI has fucked up, and you won't learn, either, the way DOING something and fucking up will teach you.

Auditioning for a job at Kristi Noem's DHS.

Corporatist fascism, plain and simple. DHS is trying to get tech companies to hand over data on Trump critics. This is unconstitutional, and Congress must shut it down, before we turn into East Germany. techcrunch.com/2026/02/03/h...

The wonderful person behind LA Transit to Trails does a fantastic job in LA / Orange / San Bernardino counties, and I'm grateful there's someone who actually knows SoCal trails out there putting in the work -- it's linked in that white blob on my map:

California's great outdoors is more transit accessible than you think -- I've added trailheads all across the state to Hiking by Transit, ready for your outdoor adventure! Check it out: hikingbytransit.com

About 500 BYU students, alumni and others protested Thursday against Border Patrol’s presence at a job fair on the Provo campus, chanting “BYU get ICE out” and “Border Patrol has got to go.” (Video by The Tribune’s Francisco Kjolseth) Read more here: www.sltrib.com/news/educati...

Here's one for the peregrine falcon feet fans!!! 🪶

Here's a list of requirements for every state. You should probably check your state's own website to make sure.

Days after covering a protest last week, I realized I had been shot with a new so-called "less-lethal" munition that the LAPD is using more commonly at protests: the FN303. This week, Chief McDonnell said that officers used the FN303 because a judge banned the LAPD from using 40mm launchers.

This week I voted against the ICE funding bill and have called to abolish the broken institution. Tune in for more on this and my thoughts on protecting workers and their privacy from AI.

LOVE when people use your creative without permission and slap their logo on it - Then after you ask very nicely via email if they'd like to collaborate for their next show you don't get a response THEN you see that they are still using your work as marketing collateral.

dealing with the pre-emptive fear chilling effect is paramount. Vote by mail, in states that have it, circumvents that.

a beautiful thing to do

This is another effort that has taken a HUGE amount of local activism, led by community folks who care. It CAN be done. Get involved where you live and push back. www.elpasotimes.com/story/news/i...

Kindergarten teacher called a prank ICE hotline thinking it was real. She called to report her 6 year old student to ICE to try to get them and their family deported. 6 years old. She does not enjoy hearing her own words and actions played back to her.

I read the SAVE Act (the GOP’s new voter suppression bill) so you don’t have to. This is my one page summary. Jesus it’s bad. 3/

I think it should be a bigger story that Republicans think the 4th Amendment is just some piece of annoying bureaucracy

More attention here, please.

Agent: These guys were all threatening us yesterday with hand guns. ... Agent: *Hand* guns, like threatening to shoot us. Reporter: You mean like with hand symbols? A: Pulling them out, trying to engage us. R: Pulling out literal guns? A: No. Making... assuming we were going to do something.

Your actions are making a difference, so be brave & talk to friends, neighbors & even strangers & tell them stories like this one. From registering voters, donating to immigrant action orgs or Democratic candidates or the things below, you can help stop #ICELawlessness! bsky.app/profile/male...

Mass protest involves people coming together from different perspectives whose anger may be directed at different aspects of the same problem. After the masses gather, like clockwork, there are leadership struggles and purity tests which tend to dissipate rather than multiply the “power of many.”

Destroying air travel in the U.S. before the midterms is a boss move, Markwayne. Don't listen to squishes who tell you voters won't like it. Do it and be a legend.

1/ We’re in the middle of a rough respiratory season. So naturally, everywhere you turn online, someone is offering advice on how to “boost your immune system.” The problem is that good science and bad advice are all tangled together, making it hard to know what actually works. Let's get into it 👇

I swear to god, I left this cat alone for two fucking minutes with a jar of red beets. Two. Minutes. #CatsofBluesky

Hilariously, a coyote walked behind a San Francisco reporter as she was doing a segment on the mountain lion. 🤣

The GOP is pushing the SAVE Act, to make elections 'more secure.’ How many wives took their husband's name in marriage? How many of those have names that no longer match what's on their BIRTH CERTIFICATE? Under SAVE, they will not be eligible to vote. MILLIONS of women will LOSE VOTING RIGHTS.

Perfectly normal behavior for a sitting president. A big nothing burger. Nothing to see here.

The nighttime protest at PDX ICE facility is now huge after ICE tear gassed children yesterday.

Is the future resting place of you-know-who known nowadays? Because I anticipate serious erosion problems from visitor activities and it might be best to have the civil engineering in place early.

I was at the peaceful Union-led protest earlier today in Portland. ICE shot munitions into an apartment window above our heads and glass rained down all around. They also gassed tons of families protesting with their kids, completely unprovoked and without warning.

From a board certified ophthalmologist in the USA: https://youtube.com/shorts/z4dy0Wgct90?si=zOZ5xGl8x883sFGx Plain water, or water with a little baby shampoo mixed in if you are tear-gassed or pepper sprayed, or think it’s a possibility.

Immigration attorney details the unconstitutional abuses of ICE Nazis and the utter lawlessness of the pedophile führer and his fascist authoritarian regime. 😡😡😡👇

it is heartening to hear these numbers.
