Banging on this that batteries met up to 44% of demand on the CA grid yesterday, roughly equivalent to 6 hoover dams. Cheap batteries are powering the grid. www.linkedin.com/posts/nicola...

The last photo of third-grader Mikaeil Mirdoraghi, waving to his mom before he left for school. He was killed shortly after in the U.S./Israeli strike on a primary school in Minab.

Yes. And we have to talk about this now, because talking about it is the first step to making it seem like a callous crime rather than a surprising emergency.

Pete Hegseth loves war crimes, it's the entire reason he has the job in the first place.

Bernard LaFayette, the advance man who did the risky groundwork for the voter registration campaign in Selma, Alabama, that culminated in the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, has died.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there. They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

BREAKING: The Justice Department just posted online three FBI interviews that had been missing from the massive trove of Epstein files initially released. They're related to unsubstantiated sexual assault allegations against Donald Trump. DOC 1: www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

Anti-trans panic is being used to smuggle in an assumption that kids are not credible witnesses of their own internal lives. That assumption doesn't just hurt trans kids, but will be weaponized against gay kids, sexual abuse victims, and kids suffering mental health issues.

🚨 Long but important 🧵: This article makes some important points & avoids several others (or frames them unhelpfully). A deconstruction: 🔹️1st, I'm not crazy about the headline, which reflects the danger of framing unique risks as relative. And "worse" 1/20 www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...

Here's a story about his death www.investigativepost.org/2026/02/25/b...

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

CNN reporting that the strikes on Iran tonight are joint US and Israeli strikes. Which means Donald Trump should be impeached for a third time. What he has done tonight is illegal under the US constitution and the UN charter.

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

Killing a bunch of elementary school girls to distract from having raped a bunch of middle- and high-school girls is pretty fucking grim.

While artificial intelligence has ushered in a new era of more accurate weather forecasting, A.I. models may still struggle to predict freak storms. This week, a historic blizzard blanketed the Northeast in snow, and a conventional weather model outperformed A.I. in predicting the storm.

democrats should internalize that this is what their colleagues think of them and act accordingly

Texans: After nearly three decades in charge, “we can fix it” sounds like a confession.

We murdered three more people in a boat today

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

NEW: Yesterday, hundreds gathered outside the Whipple Federal Building for an Indigenous-led civil and human rights rally called Not on Native Land. Speakers invoked the history of the land and of white settlers genociding Native Americans, and the role of Bishop Henry Whipple and Fort Snelling.

Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries. One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home. Abolish the billionaire class:

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!

ICE now confirming that there is a measles outbreak at the Texas concentration camp where young Liam was held.

Peter Thiel has been open about this for a long time. Trump is a way to break the republic, which can then be replaced by “free economic zones” with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights. (1/2)

We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE. They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

Over-reliance on #FossilFuels is straining our grid. A diverse mix + more energy storage keeps the lights on, homes warm & people safe. #CleanEnergy like solar, wind & batteries is local & more affordable than ever. https://loom.ly/S1H0yls

Democrats' demand that Stephen Miller is fired as a condition of voting for ICE funding is one of the smartest moves they've made under Trump. Miller is a loathsome figure who I imagine has rock-bottom likability numbers. Democrats should try to raise his public salience as often as possible.

"I'm coming to Boston and I'm bringing hell with me." --Homan in February "Do I expect violence to escalate? Absolutely." -- Tom Homan in March "I actually thought about getting up and throwing that man a beating right there in the middle of the room" -- Homan in July, referring to a D congressman

Remember the Bundy insanity during the Obama years? Armed guys occupied a federal office and one of their buddies took position with a sniper rifle aimed at federal agents? Exactly how many of those guys were shot and killed?

I appreciate those out there protesting at great risk to their lives however i think the nation needs to grind this economy to a dead stop. It's something everyone can do safely. No spending on ANYTHING but absolute necessities. I understand some shut ins can not do this but very many of us can.

This is ok tho

Abolish ICE is now the moderate minimum position, Prosecute ICE is where Dems should be at next.

What's the plan, Chuck? I run a fake news website. You're the Senate Minority Leader. What's the plan?

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

"All of us, without exception, are qualified to participate in the rescue of the world." Julian Aguon

The photo of the camera flying through the air is such a powerful symbol of the efforts to document the atrocities. I usually am dim on sofa activism. But when you share people's efforts to document the Minneapolis situation, you are helping. Share. Widely.

this is the sickest shit ive ever seen

I hope France, Germany, the UK, Norway and Sweden defeat the US so thoroughly that we’re left with nothing but universal healthcare and harsh environmental regulations afterward

New analysis out today from Rhodium Group showing data centres were one of the major drivers of the first rise in total economy-wide emissions in the US in years Uncontrolled growth of demand has helped boost coal growth, in conjunction with the LNG export boom -> rhg.com/research/us-...

NOEM: “We can’t trust the government anymore.” BASH: “You are the government.” NOEM: “Yes, that’s what I’m saying.”🤔 The only honest thing @KristiNoem said today

This is the second time in three months a DHS agent called a US citizen a "bitch" as he shot her. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/whos-threa...

If a federal agent tries to assault you, just scream "JOE BIDEN STOLE THE 2020 ELECTION" It's apparently like an Uno Reverse card. Now *you* get to assault the cops without any penalty. Beat them with a flagpole, use mace or bear spray on them, whatever. I'm sure the lawyers here will back me up.

Republicans somehow managed to sprint from “we’re trying to protect women in sports” straight to defending a woman being shot in the head three times at point blank range for trying to drive away from a masked thug.

ken did a really great thread here that nicely articulates why i block doomers. the only thing i’ll add is this: doomerism is a form of voter suppression. saying shit like “there won’t be elections” is saying there’s no point in fighting. it’s demotivating. fuck that.

Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal warns ICE: "No law enforcement professional wears a mask... Those that come into our communities wearing a mask to commit crime... You getting arrested". "Fake wannabe law enforcement... The criminal in the WH will not be able to keep you from going to jail".
