This is now a political account because I can’t treat your heavy menstrual bleeding and iron deficiency appropriately if ICE disappears or executes you.

As a physician I can say with utmost confidence that the biggest threat to public health in our country at this point is our own fucking government.

The rest of the world should absolutely boycott the World Cup and boycott the Olympics. At minimum.

Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

New: Alex Pretti, the man killed by the Trump-Vance mob of agents was an outdoorsmen, a mountain biker, an ICU nurse who "would go out of his way to help," say Veterans Affairs colleagues. Cheerful. Funny. Gentle. And still, per sources, Trump officials are urging staff to call him a "terrorist."

Rapid responders still out there, tracking ICE. In spite of everything, even now. Heroes

People don't make their soup in a cauldron over an open fire under a full moon with the sound of wolves in the distance anymore, and honestly, I think that’s a shame.

Here's the outdoor thermometer on the north side of the house, showing a temp of -26 F. I commented with a screenshot of the conditions at the airport about 20 miles away, with a temp of -31F and a windchill of -47F (-44C). Brrr.... Rodman, NY #winter #cold

ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

Thread of remote ways to support Minneapolis

"I'm not in Minnesota -- what can I do to help?" A list of ideas!

It’s hard to accurately describe what is happening in Minneapolis without sounding crazy. Unmarked rental vans all over the city, with people in military gear and no id jumping out of them to take captive anyone who looks nonwhite or who makes political speech they disagree with.

Another day, another outrage; ICE under Trump is going to deport dozens of people to Iran, including two gay men previously arrested by the regime who face the death penalty for their orientation, and despite the ongoing crackdowns which have killed thousands. An administration of total inhumanity.

I feel this in such a big way, my desire to remain sane is constantly at odds with my desire to be informed. I try to remember that kindness is an act of resistance in an unkind world and it helps

Ty Cobb: “This is a man who is demented… I don’t think there’s anybody outside the boundaries of the United States who believes for a second that Trump is sane at this stage of the game.” via @outfrontcnn.bsky.social

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

I'm increasingly convinced that if social media existed in the 1930s Germany, there would be endless videos of Jews being hauled out of their homes while people watched like this. People let this happen because they can't fight the state and it effectively encourages learned helplessness.

It’s the perfect day to find a secluded cottage in the Scottish Highlands and go off the grid for a few years.

We've got a windchill temp of -3F this morning (that's-19C), so I'm traveling in my imagination to my happy place: our perennial gardens in the heat of summer. If I close my eyes, I can feel the sunlight on my face and hear the birds singing. Hurry, springtime! Rodman, NY #flowers

Because too many people would rather see a maniac burn our country and the whole world than vote for a Black/Asian Democratic woman with a Jewish husband. GOP voters identify with his hatred of values and norms they despise, and nonvoters are dead inside. 75 million Dems tried. We'll keep trying.

Danish MEP Anders Vistisen to Donald Trump :”Let me put this in words you might understand: Mr. President, fuck off.”

Mamdani: I am in support of abolishing ICE… I'm tired of waking up every day and seeing a new image of someone being dragged out of a car, dragged out of their home, dragged out of their life.

Stop saying this is not who we are. Stop saying this isn’t what they voted for. This is who they are. This is what they voted for.

I was hoping seeing one of our geese do a big wing stretch this morning would give me some energy, but it hasn't happened yet. 😂😂 Rodman, NY #winter #birds

Yes, this is a comic, but for me there’s a really important message here: We are not separate from “nature”! We’re supposed to be part of it, integrated into it, living in harmony with it! We’re just another living being on this planet, a small part of a greater ecosystem.

The biggest obstacle we face as a society in getting people to accept reality about Trump is that it requires people to face reality about themselves and about ourselves as a society.

"When I landed in Minneapolis on Monday and saw the size, scope and lawlessness of the federal onslaught unfolding here, I understood that Good’s killing was emblematic of its true mission: to stage a spectacle of cruelty upon a city that stands in stark defiance of Trump’s dark vision of America."

NBA game in London. Someone screams “Leave Greenland alone!” during US national anthem. The crowd reacts in support.

You ever notice how all the stuff that makes us happy is bad for us? Sugar, drugs, booze, driving fast, hell, even too much sun can be harmful. But not boobs! Boobs are zero calories and completely guilt free. Enjoy boobs today!

Use the good china! I found fancy fountain pen inks dried out. That expensive liquor oxidizes and changes flavor. The lotion goes rancid. Drink it, use it, don't save it for a brighter day. Find joy in your world. Grab Grandma's crystal for your morning juice. Don't wait. Life is short.

This makes me feel more patriotic than the national anthem ever could

Chuck is a 70's politician stuck in bipartisanship delusionland and no match for an authoritarian takeover of our country. @schumer.senate.gov has to go.

NEW: Jonathan Ross, the ICE thug who murdered Renee Good, was NOT TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL according to police reports. He was taken to the Federal Building. He was NOT INJURED. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

Breaking news: An employee of El Paso County’s Office of the Medical Examiner said it is likely to classify the death of Geraldo Lunas Campos at an ICE detention center as a homicide. A detainee says he witnessed Campos being choked to death by guards.

The usual suspect when it comes to women's restrooms.

This is who I want to be when I grow up.

At last night’s candlelight vigil for Renee Nicole Good, Bishop Rob Hirschfeld of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire announced he had asked the clergy of the diocese to get their affairs in order and to make sure they have their wills written ...,
