This is Bryan. Once a week, he takes a shelter pup on a New York City adventure in his 'Adopt Me' backpack, hoping someone will fall in love. He films their big day out, and almost every dog he's featured has found a forever home. 🫶 🐕 🫶 🐶 🫶

NEWS: Donald Trump just gave a MASSIVE handout to the richest corporations in America. How? By delivering them new tax cuts for research they've ALREADY done. Some billionaire companies will pay a lower tax rate than a public school teacher. It’s shameful.

Voted for Talarico in the Texas Dem Primary today. 🇺🇸 ✅ (Smashed my thumb doing house repairs.)

2026 basically

The Fox News chyron reads "Latest Dem hoax" at the same time that Brendan Carr confirms that yes, the FCC would've "enforced the law" and gone after CBS had Colbert aired his interview with Talarico on TV

WTF. Talarico’s anti-billionaire message really striking a nerve! Texans, you know your assignment for primary voting!

Wow.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

On the “flip Texas front” turns out my new gerrymandered US House District 11 is flippable!!! A chunk of north Austin was added to a low-turnout West Texas region. Texas Dems - you gotta show up and vote August Pfluger OUT! For the Dem Primary, recommend voting for Claire Reynolds.

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.

The book lovers in Fort Worth, TX aren’t happy with the administration it seems. Seen tonight at a Barnes & Noble pen-testing station.

Texas - here’s our #RebelBird

Generator buying madness at Harbor Freight in Central Texas right now. They are flying out the door. We are expecting an ice storm and loss of power.

If you are in Seattle, please go patronize this store because this is amazing content/promo 😂 (laughing to keep from crying, and I do kind of low-key want that orange spider plant I have never seen that before) Source: www.instagram.com/reel/DTQrTqZ...

Worth every second

16-year-old Arnoldo Bazan and his father were getting McDonald’s before school when immigration agents pulled them over. They slammed his father to the ground and put the teen in a chokehold. “I felt like I was going to pass out and die,” he said. Read the full story: https://propub.li/4qSnVkQ

Klein: “What is, to you, the ‘rage economy’?” Talarico: “The billionaires own the algorithms and the news networks. They are selling us conflict right into our bloodstream, and they’re calling it connection. And I think it’s left people starving for actual community.”

I’m seeing lots of people on here misunderstand the purpose of ICE watch. It’s de-escalation. And it’s grounded in the social science of violence. 🧵

Amanda Gorman wrote this poem for Renee Good and that’s it for me tonight.

🔥 @markruffalo.bsky.social : “I gotta be honest, I’m not feeling so great. Renee Good was murdered... stormtroopers running around terrorizing. As much as I love all this, I can’t pretend all this crazy stuff isn’t happening. We have a president who says laws don’t apply to him- this is crazy.”

Yesterday Elon Musk retweeted "white solidarity is the only way to survive". In our numb overwhelmed media environment it barely made headlines that the world's richest man endorsed blood-curdling white nationalism. My brief writeup for @religiondispatches.org religiondispatches.org/elon-musk-ju...

Four ICE vehicles with matching counterfeit license plates were seen departing Terminal Island in Los Angeles today.

Best Twitter riposte of the day. I started the morning looking at mass protest videos uncertain whether I was watching Minneapolis or Tehran. Turns out it was both.

Walz: "I saw an individual at the scene identify themselves as medical personnel and ask to provide aid, and an ICE agent said 'I do not care.' That lack of humanity was chilling to me."

A reminder from Huffington Post that DHS and ICE have opened fire on unarmed civilians 16 times since Trump took office, killing 4 people. In every case, DHS claims that the victims "assaulted officers" and/or tried to ram them with cars. In every case, evidence proves they are lying. Every time.

BREAKING: Hundreds gathered at San Francisco’s Ocean Beach to form a human banner reading “It Was Murder 🇺🇸 ICE Out,

Renee Good should still be here. She was a beloved child of God, with inherent value and infinite worth. She was murdered by her own government in broad daylight in what is supposed to be the greatest democracy on the planet.

The signal vs. noise issues in the NOTAM system are costing lives.

I've been helping out @eco-nana.bsky.social and we have a GREAT giveaway for the new year! Eco Nana involves members of the old (and best!) NASA climate website team. The new site has posts about environmental and climate topics, and we are building out a kids area. kingsumo.com/g/m2dyo53/ne...

WTF. Holdings from the library at the Goddard Space Flight Center, which includes unique documents from the early 20th century to the Soviet space race, will be warehoused or THROWN OUT. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/31/c...

I met Melissa Hortman in October of 2024. She was smart and kind. I heard about her murder in a LA hotel room and it dropped me to my knees. So I went to Minnesota and talked to her kids, parents, and friends. This is not true crime, this is Melissa in real life. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Ken Paxton has launched a snitch line to gather reports of supposed violations of Texas' transphobic bathroom policing law. Please do not abuse this snitch line. Please do not fill it with faff and nonsense. Please do not attach huge, unwieldy and irrelevant documentation to any reports.

This is truly awful. NCAR is an absolute beacon for those of us working in climate and atmospheric science. Most of us will have been there for some meeting or other, co-authored papers with people who work there, walked the hiking trails that start at the Mesa lab . . . (1/2)

There isn’t much for our Supreme Court to hear, the Constitution is already clear. And just to be absolutely clear: the Supreme Court does not have the power to overrule or rewrite our Constitution.

NEW: Google is hosting a CBP app that uses facial recognition to identify immigrants, and tell local cops whether to contact ICE about the person, while also removing apps designed to warn communities about ICE officials. “Google wanted to ‘not be evil’ back in the day. Well, they're evil now."

Do not go to A&M, do not speak at A&M unless you are looking to work at a state propaganda farm with an AI overseer

As a Baylor grad who no longer supports the university, THIS kind of sh!t is exactly why. Southern Baptist hypocrisy.

Rare to see the Aurora in Central Texas but we can tonight!

Devoid of empathy "President Donald Trump stands as a man who collapsed is brought to the ground." from People mag :https://people.com/trump-press-conference-ends-as-man-suffers-medical-emergency-11845060

President Donald Trump has nominated billionaire entrepreneur Jared Isaacman to lead NASA, five months after abruptly withdrawing Isaacman’s nomination for the same job.

"Dear Martha, we've been camped outside Richmond for going on 30 days. Overhead the sandwiches are exploding day and night. The smell of the onions and mustard is overwhelming."
