We have SIX DAYS to get this out of the Washington State Senate. NEXT TUESDAY is the legislative deadline to get bills out their house of origin. If it doesn't pass by then, it likely dies till 2027. Since farmworkers were written out of labor laws in 1937, we have to win at the state level.

When the Segway (codename Ginger) was going to make us rethink how we design cities, why didn't tech firms incorporate it into every product and force everyone to use it?

In our deep blue state with a near-supermajority Dem legislature, Dems just helped Republicans make sure that ski towns cannot tax out-of-state tycoons’ part-time vacation mansions in order to fund affordable housing for workers & others who actually live there. What stage of oligarchy is this?

`We urge football fans to avoid World Cup matches in the US not only as a political statement, but for your own personal safety.'

Trump's tariffs aren't just hurting consumers. Struggling small businesses who import foreign goods are having to turn to predatory lenders to pay tariff bills. Meanwhile, big corporations like Apple are securing huge tariff exemptions by sucking up to Trump. It's Trump's extortion economy.

“Who is buying ‘Melania’ tickets?”

My neighbors keep electing this turd of a human being.

@deanbaker13.bsky.social really said it best, and between this and the fact that turnout in 2024 - still second best in modern era - was only really down in dark blue states … I don’t think we on the left have grasped the epistemological crisis of political analysis we’re in.

It behooves us to assume that Schumer is not just cowardly or incompetent, he simply does not want to abolish lCE because he thinks they're good and necessary

“We’re asking the Nazis murdering people in the streets or dragging them to concentration camps to follow the laws they’re ignoring. Surely if we pass more laws, they’ll follow those.” Pathetic.

I dont think any Dem who votes to give ICE a dollar should ever get a single vote again tbh

it really boils down to who do you hate more, rich sex abusers or the left, and I’m afraid that from Thatcher to Starmer we’ve been run by people for whom the answer to that question is “the left”

Today I wrote about the racist accommodation to the racist response to Bad Bunny's Super Bowl show; the moral hazard of extending good faith to those who act in bad faith; and how alienating white bigots is actually part of the solution, not a part of the problem. www.the-reframe.com/hating-the-g...

Nothing to worry about, just state election officials preparing for possible illegal and unconstitutional efforts by the Trump administration to tamper with the 2026 election

Stuff like this has become so normalized, but it shouldn’t be. The National Institutes of Health director leaving room for anti-vax narratives or participating in conferences of anti-vax groups is, frankly, outrageous. www.importantcontext.news/p/nih-direct...

Which is why it's important to not cooperate with those Nazis.

There is simply no moral argument for allowing war criminals to compete at the Olympics.

Citizen observers are peacefully trying to deter Trump administration's (and Republican) illegal actions and Democrats are undermining their efforts by not exclusively demanding that ICE be eliminated. apnews.com/article/immi...

Another reason to abolish ICE. State and local politicians can't or won't control cops, and are thus incapable of supporting their citizens and other civilians.

ICE officials said he ran into a wall, which doctors immediately rejected as inconsistent with the wounds. The immigrant's account - that he was beaten in the head by steel batons, contrary to DHS guidelines - is more plausible. But no accountability exists for him, or us. apnews.com/article/immi...

Ciji Graham’s is the seventh case ProPublica has investigated in which a pregnant woman died after she was unable to access standard care in a state that has significantly restricted abortion. Read her story: https://propub.li/4r4VQr4

"it is clear that AIPAC is again funding super PACs in order to secretly funnel money to its preferred candidates, while also coordinating donors to give to those candidates directly." prospect.org/2026/02/06/a...

No, at worst Schumer can be accused of letting the Trump regime prey on its domestic victims with minimal pushback because he's friends with some of the war criminals in the regime and appreciates their furtherance of a genocide he supports www.democracynow.org/2026/2/5/hea...

Probably shouldn't have chosen a life of quiet desperation.

Patient has secondary insurance but can’t get it through that because primary is technically willing to pay for it. Make it make sense. Medicare for all. Abolish private healthcare insurance.

We can work with these guys.

Patients insurance requires 90 day prescriptions for their life sustaining medication and won’t pay for anything else. The medication is only good for 60 days. American healthcare folks.

If you hear someone saying that they hope lawyers are ready to go to court to protect free and fair elections, I suggest you let them know that my law firm is already litigating more than 80 voting and election cases in 40 states.

MAGAthink (even worse for regular people than the usual mainstream media think pieces.)

"Blue" states are filled with Trumper mayors and legislators. kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell spent more than half the money he raised in his campaign for Minnesota governor last year buying copies of his autobiography.

Incredibly, the Post describes European countries' efforts to limit drug companies exploitation of their government-granted patent monopolies as interfering with the market, as though the government-granted monopolies are somehow the free market.

Today is Howard Roark's (nee Ayn Rand) birthday.

AI is increasingly being used to deport migrants, replace workers, predict “crime,” dox activists, and target weapons. Meanwhile, its energy consumption continues to exacerbate the climate crisis. We must fight back. @haymarketbooks.org REGISTER: www.haymarketbooks.org/events/772-a...

It's Norman Mailer's fuggin' birthday.

the architects of this project, including Mr. Bovino; the homeland security secretary, Kristi Noem; and the White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller must resign. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/29/o...

Always vote DFL on non-prez ballots (in MN & previously in NY) cuz 50% of voters in "blue" states are Rep idiots or low-info "vote for the best candidate regardless of party" dupes. But if they don't run someone better than Klobu-cop for gov, gotta go 3rd party. www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

Republicans would wood-chipper their families to avoid doing anything decent.

Texas is seeking to kill Charles Victor Thompson today. He has one petition and stay of execution request pending at SCOTUS, raising a Confrontation Clause question about trial testimony. Docket: www.supremecourt.gov/docket/docke...

Absolutely incredible sequence from CNN. "Maduro was a paranoid lunatic always lying about the CIA trying to overthrow him. Anyways, now that the CIA has overthrown him..."

Expecting people who refuse to follow prescribed procedures, ignore judicial orders, lie ritualistically, and defame victims of their cruelty to adhere to some new set of rules is idiocy and causing further harm to your constituents.

Couldn't find the worst of the worst in Minnesota so Trump sent in ICE.

I wrote this piece in The Nation because what’s being framed as a “peace plan” for Gaza right now is being marketed as a development and investment opportunity—almost like a real‑estate project—while the reality on the ground is still a crime scene. www.thenation.com/article/worl...

Always here for anyone denigrating Bill Clinton.

Even if no murders, no illegal deportations, no beatings, no kidnapping of citizens, no graft, no disruption of normal lives, no unauthorized construction of internment camps, why would you choose to fund a private army weaponized against Trump's perceived enemies?

Good thing we've destroyed government cybersecurity expertise while simultaneously weakening/destroying agencies (like SSA, CMS, CDC, Edu, HHS) that directly benefit regular people. www.infosecurity-magazine.com/news/zeroday...
