Thwarted raid attempt in South Minneapolis. Agent asks woman if she’s a man. Full video to come on @statuscoupnews.bsky.social

Republicans in Texas are so scared of James Talarico that they’re attacking him for saying... *checks notes* ... Jesus cared about the poor and the marginalized. One GOP official said he's promoting "woke talking points." www.friendlyatheist.com/p/republican...

Wael Tarabishi, who has a lifelong muscle disorder, died after Maher, his father and primary caretaker, was detained

The chairman of a major law firm that sparked backlash by caving to Trump to save itself from his retribution campaign gushed to Jeffrey Epstein about how “amazing” he was.

The greatest threat that free speech currently faces in this country is that the president doesn’t believe in it. www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...

So, taking part in a Georgia event abroad is punishable by up to 6 years in prison? Like, Georgian diaspora holds a Georgia awareness event and invites representatives and repression victims from Georgia. That’s jail? Hard to catch up with this ocean of legislative terror.

People who may want to have children in the future should bear this in mind: tear gas can have serious consequences for female reproductive health. The data on this isn't great but I would at least recommend ensuring you have a quality respirator or mask on at all times.

Trump’s government is lying about ICE: What you need to know www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/02/trum...

"Criminality is so rampant inside CBP that it has seen one of its own agents or officers arrested every 24 to 36 hours since 2005." Let that sink in.

Horrifying. ICE confirms measles outbreak at Dilley family detention center. www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-dil...

Here is a better angle of this sign. I originally received this from a friend, but it came from the St. Paul Pioneer Press.

dig if you will this picture

Same energy.

Last night, at least one federal agent shot me multiple times w/ pepper balls in my leg after they dispersed hundreds of protesters away from the MDC driveway on Alameda Street in DTLA. I was covering the protest for @lataco.bsky.social. This is the 2nd time I've been shot by the feds since June.

This is antifascist art.

"We are all neighbors and in it together here...[immigrants] are also brothers and sisters, union brothers and sisters"

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Citizens for Fire Safety makes a big show of listing respected professions as coalition members and never once names who they really are - the three largest manufacturers of flame retardant chemicals Front groups do this to create a false sense of legitimacy and craft a veneer of credibility

Folks are debating whether this is satire or a bit, astroturfing or a corporate front group, or an authentic effort to protect billionaires (weird) I study astroturfing and corporate disinformation campaigns - I have an ongoing project on ballot measure astroturfing - so let's nerd out on this

Other good news from Texas last night! The GOP majority in the House has shrunk 🤸🏽

some good news buried among the horrible behavior listed: “The third woman said federal agents at her hotel are subsisting on microwavable bowls of Campbell’s chicken noodle soup, because it’s become so difficult for them to find restaurants willing to serve them.”

Happy Black History Month 🖤✨ Libraries and books are from perfect. The Dewey Decimal System is imperfect. But we will never forget the work of Dorothy B. Porter. She decolonized the Dewey Decimal System. She helped us belong in libraries, in books. We celebrate and thank you, Dorothy B. Porter 💜📚

Queen Elizabeth knew about this stuff btw and intervened repeatedly to protect him

Do not let them convince you that you have to beg for justice. It is not something any of us should have to ask for. Justice is not theirs to give, it is ours to take. It will be a long fight no matter what. Do not let them distract you from it.

I’m sorry this is still relevant 😬 but thanks for reading & sharing

HAPPY BOSTON MOONINITE PANIC DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE

Always remember that the same MAGA influencer class who pushed for years that trans people and drag queens where "grooming" children helped to promote and white wash these demons.

The general Russian strategy with these things adopted by many others now, is what Bannon has described as "flooding the zone" - it's like flinging things at a wall to see what sticks. That's a very different thing from conscious planning or direction.

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I approve this message.

I should say - Chomsky's advice appears to be relayed via Matthew Hiltzik who you can read about here: observer.com/2025/10/the-...

New oligarchy chart dropped

8. Weiss's project is creating an Operation Paperclip for Epstein's cronies. Taking a group of discredited men and rehabilitating them as necessary pillars of system. Dershowitz and Peter Attia are the Wernher von Brauns of reactionary centrism.

1. The new batch of Epstein documents helps illuminate one contemporary controversy: What is Bari Weiss up to at CBS? I think the answer is she is trying to rehabilate the Epstein network as a bulwark of reactionary centrism. Let me explain.

Just emailed this to the NYT reporter who published that credulous Ratner profile yesterday: www.thedailybeast.com/melania-doc-...

Using generative AI to "enhance" images doesn't work, but people keep trying. Following the shooting death of Renée Good by ICE, social media users attempted to "unmask" the shooter with AI, resulting in numerous images that neither resembled each other nor the actual killer, Jonathan Ross.

The world is pretty terrible so here is Gracie gamboling through the snow if you need a break. (This is all I could film before being dragged along!)

WWII vet Louis Allen was murdered in Mississippi, #tdih 1964. 💔 Why? Allen was willing to testify about murder he had witnessed of African American NAACP member & SNCC supporter Herbert Lee by a white state legislator. FBI refused protection for Allen. 🧵 www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/ww...

The Morning Monty blesses your weekend with this delicate blep.

I'm going to need this to be talked about daily, local news needs to bring this up any time they talk about Demuth. Let's put it on billboards, make some ads. "Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth said Monday that her caucus steered YouTube creator Nick Shirley to day care sites in Minnesota"
