Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

He is number

He’s so beautiful.

Tag yourself. I’m her saucy bang.

At risk of stating the obvious, masks are also good if you’d rather not get it lmao

PLEASE!!!!!

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband. Today they attacked two journalists. We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

Black ppl in 2015: *warns of impending doom* White ppl in 2015: 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 White ppl today: “😳Who could’ve see this coming?!🤷🏼‍♂️”

A helpful explanation of Misogynoir and reporting it to @blackskyweb.xyz leaflet.pub/7949ab92-a18...

Advocates in California will continue to push for relief for people convicted of harming their abusers. “Survivors are resilient, and there’s so many left behind, and so many that this bill would have helped.”

Victor Newman is basically my uncle, so...

The revolution won’t be televised but the treason sure is

This is fascism. Project 2025 has been 47% implemented, thus far.

YES! THIS on GenAI! Please read this absolutely splendid piece of writing that had me cheering, a little bit weepy, and writing in the margins: "An extraordinary amount of money is spent by the AI industry to ensure that acquiescence is the only plausible response. But marketing is not destiny."

It’s official: AIPAC is trying to buy my election to keep me out of Congress. Apparently, I’m a “dangerous detractor”... by believing Palestinians (like myself and my family) deserve basic human rights. But we’re not going to let AIPAC win.

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

Some on threads said they love that the collective Black response to Bad Bunny for the Super Bowl was “ I HOPE HE DON’T SPEAK A WORD OF ENGLISH”

ICE officer seen on video pushing woman to ground has returned to duty

Nothing to see here, just the President of the Divided States of America trying to extort the voters of New York….

It feels like it's morning. Greet the sun. 🌞

Drag them

Target stock is down near 36% year to date.

Keep applying pressure, y’all!

What the fuck?

The gap between teacher pay and other college graduates’ pay is the highest it’s been in over four decades. Is there a “teacher shortage,” or a shortage of jobs that treat educators with the pay, dignity, and support they deserve?

grim as hell

I find I can’t muster a proper response to either the Tylenol madness or the U.N. appearance. At some point it is just too ridiculous. It would feel insane to offer sane commentary.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

I genuinely want to know how we, as educators, protect our trans students when the federal government is classifying them as a terrorist threat.

so many, but this one definitely makes my list youtu.be/s9cRvg1jaBk?...

Ben Affleck playing Batman is divisive. Hate speech is not. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Yelling "Hey wait for me!" In public. To no one. Just to feel included.

One very wealthy white man got his job back today (along with his 200 staff and production team) because of organizing, boycotts, and collective pushback. When will we see that same energy for the 320k+ Black women who were pushed out of the labor market?

Shameful.

The case will now be reviewed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Attorney General, the release said.

Kicked out of Columbia University, now Washington Post. All for writing and speaking about race and injustice. The best way to support my work is to join @resistanceschool.bsky.social and take my class on Race, Media and International Affairs 101! www.resistancesummerschool.com/fall-2025-re...

So basically RFK Jr’s antivax ACIP were unable to make any big changes to vaccine access because they were too incompetent. We should all take this as a win I guess…

Randomly sharing one of my February newsletters, because…it’s fitting for a time such as this: open.substack.com/pub/nicolefc...

We been telling y'all this shit is global. The Euro-American Empire

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

Black women protect your peace at all costs, even from you if necessary.

The silence from white academics is deafening right now. Your colleagues are being fired and targeted. Threatened with mob violence. Silenced. Censored. Isolated. Alienated. Deported. Abducted. Arrested. Kendrick said it: "You not a colleague. You a f*ckin colonizer."

I often wonder if white scholars have any idea what any of this feels like. If they have to spend weeks distracted by hate mail and death threats. If they have any clue how different we are. I spend so much of my time fighting to exist. My rights are always conditional. Their's are just a given.

Comedians are far quieter today than I would have hoped.

I’m reposting Barack Obama 😭

Monarez: "Kennedy demanded 2 things of me that were were inconsistent w/ my oath of office. He directed me to commit in advance to approving every ACIP recommendation regardless of the scientific evidence. He also directed me to dismiss career officials responsible for vaccine policy without cause"
