Pretty sure hell is just a never ending loop of weight loss ads

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

so much of our present misery is just a giant, prolonged backlash to integration

A Historically BLACK University cannot say Black. A Historically BLACK University cannot say Black. A HISTORICALLY BLACK UNIVERSITY cannot say Black.

Wes Moore on redistricting: "You know who started this? It wasn't Gavin Newsom. It was Donald Trump, when Donald Trump first contacted Texas and said 'I need you to find me additional congressional seats.' And they went into a backroom with a sharpie and started redrawing maps."

Reducing everything to dollars means nothing is sacred. The level of wealth inequality we see in the U.S. is completely unsustainable. It’s destroying *everything* — including the planet we all share. Billionaires are parasites hollowing us out from the inside. Surprise! They don’t like democracy.

JD Vance could go to space and he would be booed by any life out there

Was driving my kids to school and the first thing on the radio was reporting about Trump's video depicting the Obamas as apes and I think many people still don't fully appreciate what it means to have to raise Black children in a country where the president is so brazenly and consistently racist

Racism has a material impact on people's lives. I don't know what else to say. It leads to premature death on a daily basis.

It would be amazing if we had prominent Democrats in America - taking the same stance.

The other aspect of this that does not get much attention: There is a deep grief within all of us women every single time we watch men refuse to hold other men accountable. And it happens over and over and over again, right in front of us. A constant refrain of “we don’t care about you”

The idea of storing human beings in actual warehouses, like they are insignificant cargo — items to be bought, sold, and traded — makes me physically ill and somehow makes it seem even worse

In honor of Black History Month, here's a thread with one book recommendation a day.

The targeting of Native Americans by ICE is so widespread, tribal governments all over are responding. To protect tribal citizens from ICE raids, tribes are holding events to help citizens get updated IDs and even speeding up the printing and processing times.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

No masks on cops. No masks on cops. No masks on cops. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Portland.

Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

I’m in the L! Can you see me???

Hundreds of protesters took to San Francisco’s Ocean Beach on Saturday to create a piece of human art in response to recent fatal shootings by immigration agents in Minneapolis. 📸: Stephen Lam

GEORGIA FORT: “Journalism is on trial. This should be alarming to the entire nation. I would ask every journalist: how did it feel to see your colleagues arrested for reporting the news?”

They said "free speech" and "academic freedom" but never believed in either and now in texas you need a permission slip to mention race in class and they're fine with it. Might not have worked if people with large platforms weren't furious about marginal increases of black people in their offices

Today at the protest in San Francisco, I saw so much of what makes this city magnificent: people of all ages & backgrounds who are determined & outraged, but also finding joy & purpose in safeguarding our collective rights & values. I’m beginning to hope this feeling will grow on people.

ICE out San Francisco

I’m a NO — not one more penny for ICE without stopping this violence. Two American citizens were killed by federal agents. No more roving patrols. No more secret masked police. No more warrantless raids. Investigate and prosecute ICE crimes. Get ICE out of Minnesota.

Thousands of Bay Area residents joined in nationwide protests Friday, from students walking out of class to dozens of businesses closing in solidarity with a nationwide general strike aimed at protesting the federal government’s immigration policies. 📸: @amyosborneamy and Dan Hernandez

San Francisco's ICE OUT protest from above 🦅

It hasn’t gone unnoticed that all four people arrested today, including two journalists, were Black. And now we find out the charge is “conspiracy to violate civil rights,” a statute rooted in the Ku Klux Klan Act. Sit with that.

“hundreds” youtu.be/Imyqnop6grY?...

There are too many moments in my head. But, this just sums up so much of O'Hara's genius. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVoj...

Liam is in ICE custody and his health is deteriorating. Joaquin Castro says Liam is depressed, lethargic, sleeping excessively and barely eating, repeatedly asking about his mom, and when he can go home. He’s withdrawn and not the bright preschooler he was just days ago. LIAM NEEDS A DOCTOR 1/2

This is sort of a throughline in cases of excessive force used by law enforcement. The civilian is supposed to perfectly adhere to some unwritten code of conduct; the armed professional supposedly trained for such situations is only human & must be given lattitude if they succumb to fear and rage.

Thank you, @kim.senate.gov, for making clear at today’s hearing that public schools serve every student and do not discriminate. No school should be allowed to take public dollars while denying children equal opportunity. www.help.senate.gov/hearings/emp...

The abduction and detention of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos puts on full display the inhumanity of this administration's immigration enforcement. I appreciate the leaders and community members who shone a light on the mistreatment of detainees in Texas today. www.kens5.com/article/news...

Alabama Republican Barry Moore held a town hall and said migrants are not allowed due process. His constituents heckled him, chanting “shame, shame” as the coward made his hasty exit. #Resist #ProudBlue #FuckMAGA

Sesame Street is now offering tips for parents on post-trauma comfort because the federal government is physically and mentally abusing our country's children.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

This sure seems more like the tyranny the Constitution is supposed to protect against than forgiving student loans.

From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now): -If you work for ICE. -If you vote for money for ICE. You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.

Appears this is also true for fascism.

At nearly every crisis point over the last year - and there have been so so many 🫠 - totally ordinary people have been exponentially braver than the billionaires and elite. Turns out, you can’t buy courage!

🚨"We wonder why people in the 1930s were quiet, we need to show we weren't quiet. History is gonna look back at all the people that didn't show up—their grandkids are gonna ask what were they doing! It's like -10 degrees and we're here!" -Minneapolis ICE protester. LIVE NOW⬇️

Deporting children with cancer. Using a 5-year-old as bait. Shooting moms. ICE is beyond reform. And today the House is voting to bankroll more terror. Hell no.

What do you have to believe about people to see this kind of cruelty as justified?

it's cool that so many people in positions of power and influence were so negatively polarized by "wokeness" that they convinced themselves that there was an actual debate about who wanted to erase history and the "wokes" were on the wrong side bsky.app/profile/arch...

every democrat should be talking like this. all of them.

Same people who whinge endlessly about how the removal of confederate monuments “erases history” have no problem erasing actual history

Can we call it the "League of Notions"?

FACT: California sends $83 billion more to the federal government than we get back. Trump can talk down on California all he wants, but California pays his bills.
