My brother Garry has dementia and is currently lost somewhere in the Chester area. If anyone should spot him please call the police on 999. We'd appreciate reposts. @shitchester.bsky.social

BREAKING: Goldman Sachs's top lawyer, Kathryn Ruemmler, has just resigned in the wake of the Justice Department's release of emails and other material that revealed her extensive relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/b...

@stevanzetti.bsky.social Do you have any information on anything going on in Bishop Arts today. We don't usually see this kind of police activity in the middle of the day on the Thursday afternoon. They're going from store to store asking employees for their contact information

I don’t think we should allow the secret police to round people up and sort them by race

This is a great example of using one's platform! Finally, a "we need to talk about" that we actually need to talk about

They're building concentration camps with my tax money Chuck. They're torturing children. They're murdering innocent people on the street. What are you doing.

omg everybody go draw a horse this is what the internet was made for gradient.horse

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

coming up with a new idea called "driving like shit olympics". no more bland, unprovable statements like "california drivers are the WORST" allowed. whichever state wins every 4 years gets a moonshot-sized public transit investment to get those fuckers off the road

The only thing I'm rooting for in this Super Bowl is that Bad Bunny performs in an adult version of Liam Ramos' bunny hat.

HOLD UP. This headline from the @wsj.com is dead wrong - No one at the actual opening ceremonies thinks the US team was being booed. Come on! The CBC broadcasters & people in the stadium are all crystal clear that JD VANCE WAS BEING BOOED, not the team.

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!

Democracy dies in oligarchness

These are the last words in the last column I wrote for The Washington Post, titled "When institutions crumble, strongmen step in". www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

ohhh ‘democracy dies in darkness’ was aspirational

BERNIE SANDERS: Do vaccines cause autism? BHATTACHARYA: I do not believe that the measles vaccine causes autism SANDERS: Nah. Uh uh. I didn't ask measles. Do vaccines cause autism? BHATTACHARYA: I have not seen a study that suggests any single vaccine causes autism

I am constantly reminded that it is also really brave to receive help in these difficult moments. To be a vulnerable person, living in a society that very clearly wants to harm you, and to trust your family’s survival to strangers or people you hardly know is also really difficult.

The Dilley detention center should be shut down immediately. Because of the close-quarter conditions at Dilley, lack of prompt medical response and capacity, and lack of expertise with diseases such as measles, Dilley is not equipped to combat any spread.

Don't know who this quote is from, but man...

In the event that say Gaiman or Rowling or Orson Scott Card or [insert name] magically redeemed themselves, we still wouldn't owe them our time, money or attention nor would they deserve the status they once had. There have always been other people to read.

Sadly, I have a personal ask: ICE kidnapped a staffer who works at my grandson’s daycare this weekend along with two other family members. Can you help the extended families with legal costs & famity support? It would mean a lot to me. I’m just sick about this. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

Please make it your new resolution to visit AskHistorians once a week, because we've never been this invested in overtaking another community.

Once again here to tap the mic and say Texas is a gerrymandered, voter repressed state, not a "red" state. And every one of you celebrating the (significant) win in Tarrant County better not be the same people in my mentions saying to throw the whole South away. There are good people fighting.

It’s February 1 and a beautiful morning to support the Twin Cities community! ☀️ Rent is due and volunteers with @commkitchenmpls.bsky.social are sourcing $20K in funds to support 20 families impacted in the 🧊 occupation. Can you help? RTs and shares are free! Venmo: @GRACIE-MCCLURE-1

I am deeply concerned about Liam and every child at the Dilley Detention Center. No parent should have to worry about whether their child is eating, getting medical care, or deteriorating in detention. What I saw was alarming — and unacceptable. Liam must be released immediately.

If you are a person who works in social media, and your job requires you to manage an account on Twitter/X, please ask your boss, in writing, to verify that you are required as a responsibility of your position to be on a platform that knowingly creates and monetizes child sexual abuse material …

ICE kidnapped 5 people from my community this morning. I don’t live in Minneapolis. I live in LA County. They’re still here and their still brutalizing.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

I got fooled by someone who is famous for being a conman until it was too late. Here’s why that’s actually smarter than seeing it coming:

NEW: Many have reported that ICE intends to build a new detention center in Hutchins, Texas, that can house up to 9,500, but no one has reported the exact location — until now. www.dmagazine.com/frontburner/...

Appears this is also true for fascism.

The existence of this agency, staffed the way it is today, is just completely incompatible with a democratic society.

The ombudsman for Stars and Stripes, the deployed servicemember's paper of record, writes in its pages that the publication "is in peril of losing its editorial independence and becoming nothing more than a public relations arm of the Pentagon." www.stripes.com/opinion/2026...

This is an excellent analogy, because my recollection from grade school is that the pen on the right looks fun and exciting, and then you play with it for a few minutes and realize it's not actually useful for anything and in fact makes some tasks more cumbersome, and never think about it again.

I feel like it’s a little bit important to be pedantic about this. Halligan didn’t step down from the US Atty position because she had never stepped up into it. She was not properly appointed. After a series of judicial decisions pointing this out, she has abandoned her charade of occupying the job.

This is a beautiful liminal space and we have to protect it for as long as we can The cat could still be dead in the box, until someone opens it

Ok but like isn't this the second or third time Air Force One had to turn back during an Atlantic crossing. I know we all want it to be about Trump, but what if they forgot to pack Stephen Miller in the earth of his homeland, and had to turn back before crossing the water?

i am a middle aged white mom with a minivan. i live in a brick ranch and vote democrat in every election. i am the electoral equivalent of a free space in bingo. I PROMISE THIS IS NOT WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT AT MY KITCHEN TABLE

Cutting off tourist visas would actually be a very mild sanction that avoids hurting vulnerable Americans while informing the upper middle class that this is not a reality TV show
