sewage is water with life experience. it reflects the choices we make and carries with it the residue of our yesterdays and years. it can unsettle us—until we realize it was once a part of us. our pasts make us who we are today. and can inspire us to be better tomorrow.

Don’t you dare consider yourself immune to propaganda & you out here using AI because billionaires told you have no choice but to adapt to it to keep up with the times.

Are you better off than you were a year ago? The answer for you and for many families, especially those with children with complex medical needs and disabilities, is likely NO. #TrumpAffordabilityMeltdown

Both U.S. Olympic hockey teams won gold. But only the men got a presidential call and celebration, while the women were met with a joke at their expense. The contrast isn’t just about sports. It’s about how respect, power, and attention are allocated in our culture.

I don't know what actual journalists need to hear this, but if you're afraid to ask hard questions for fear of losing access or other reprisals, you are not the person for this moment. You are part of the problem. Cowards need not apply. Asking the tough questions is appreciated and respected.

This video of former ICE attorney Ryan Schwank on why he left the agency is an absolute *must watch*. Please share widely.

The fact that there’s a secret network of doulas going around Minneapolis to help with home births for parents afraid of ICE should be front-page news. These children, born in secrecy, are American citizens.

“The majority of people being detained by ICE are law-abiding folks who are in the immigration process,” says Shara Smith, CEO of the Interfaith Alliance of Colorado. “...We can respect our laws without sacrificing our own humanity in the process.” // Story by @lizzy-hernandez.bsky.social

DO NOT RISK IT! Do not wait until the end. Drop off your filled ballot at the SOE or drop box. The USPS can no longer be trusted

If the USA Women’s Hockey team wants a real celebration and invite ,,, I’ll host them in Las Vegas. Do some nice dinners and shows and good times. I’m sure I can get a hotel and airline to help me out here and celebrate these women for real for real. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

We got you.

ICE just bought a massive warehouse in Social Circle, Georgia for $128.6 million. Call it what it is: an internment camp expansion happening in town across the country. 1/2

Hi, humans. It’s God. Thou shalt provide universal healthcare, like Jesus did, for free. You shouldn’t have to pay for cancer treatments by posting a GoFundMe on the Internet. Love, God

Took a delivery route this morning and think i saw some road rage thing right when I got on the highway...thankfully the rest was uneventful but I think maybe im just going to stay in the house the rest of the day, seems safer than going back out there, people seem a little off today

Joanne Bland, one of the youngest people to march on “Bloody Sunday,” has died. She was 72. "By the time I was 11-years-old, I had been arrested at least 13 documented times”

ICE kicks woman off of Social Security—a U.S. citizen who's never traveled more than 40 miles from home. "I've never even left Dallas County—let alone the country," she said. "I am not an immigrant." She is disabled—and relies on social security as only source of income.

A six to eight years old girl is not a fucking "woman"

When the Department of Education issued vague threats to defund schools that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion, we sued and now they're backing down. This is a win for students' right to a full and honest education.

So let me make sure ive got this right...corporations are going to potentially get the tariff refunds and collect even more money even though we paid for them when they were passed onto us.

I never thought I'd prefer McMansion developments and box stores, but here we are. We do not have the leadership in Ohio that is up to this task... unless the task is selling out the constituents because its the "right" thing to do.

The ordinance requires law enforcement, including ICE and Customs and Border Protection agents, to work without identity-obscuring masks. #BlackskyNews www.startribune.com/ice-masks-st...

when people ask "what's the wildest thing you've ever pulled out of a sewer?" i'm going to just start answering "tree."

I wrote about my efforts to get the January 6th memorial plaque installed, and what exactly it means. substack.com/home/post/p-...

American consumers paid for Trump’s illegal tariffs, and now companies get to petition the Treasury for “refunds.” It was all just another scam to get the little guys’ money into the bank accounts of the billionaire class. That is always the case with the GOP. www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

On Friday, a federal judge in Pennsylvania denied the Trump administration's request for an emergency stay, allowing the restoration of the President's House site to proceed. The ruling came a day after the National Park Service began restoring slavery exhibits... www.axios.com/2026/02/20/p...

Choose kindness even when no one is watching. Choose compassion especially when it isn’t returned. Choose grace when frustration rises & patience is running thin. The world needs more gentleness & more people willing to shine. Be that quiet, unwavering glow #SheShed #DefendersOfDemocracy

Should I type louder?

I stand with all veterans and future veterans. Leadership Matters!

Here's a list of all the places Trump is building concentration camps to brutalize non-white men, women, and kids—including many in the US legally and some who are citizens. Most will be sent to die in places they've never been to or to be tortured by Trump pals. # = Prisoners.
