The Kennedy Center had a $250m renovation in 2019. www.kennedy-center.org/press-releas...

As someone who went to high school with Savannah Guthrie and was was raised in Tucson, this is really freaking me out. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/02/u...

Since a lot of the coverage is omitting this detail: The Kennedy Center HAD a $250 million renovation and expansion just a few years ago, in 2019.

Video of his remarks where he says, verbatim, that one of his jobs as leader is to funnel more aid to Israel 75% of Democratic voters oppose sending Israel more military aid, as do 66% of independents and 60% of Americans overall according to recent polling

Excuse me, but could nainstream media just please mention the full-scale chemical munitions attack on the City of Portland tonight??!?!? Orange, green and white gases were released; seems people and animals experienced pain and respiratory distress for approximately 2-mile radius.

Trevor Noah announces Nicki Minaj isn’t at the Grammys and the crowd cheers. (Check out Chrissy the Rascal in the background lmao)

NO MORE SCHUMER.

NO MORE SCHUMER.

Wow. Clock those Hispanic surnames. Imagine being such a pick-me that you shoot someone for ICE (all the while being in danger yourself if you end up confronted by an agent who doesn't believe that you're a colleague...or who doesn't care). Jesus & Raymundo better keep their papers with them, huh.

The reporter at the Miami Herald who broke the story that put Epstein in jail. We need local and independent journalists!

We should just start calling @elliottpayne.org the people's mayor.

I missed this yesterday.

Adding some primers for recognizing what you're reading. Here's the header for the report that @jentaub.bsky.social sent around. It's clearly marked as a "CHS reporting document". That means it's unverified, raw information from a non-FBI source (in this case, sent by text) - and possibly bs. 4/

It would have been unthinkable a few years ago, but there is a increased possibility that we are witnessing the end of the United Nation in its present form.

Statement from Leigh Wambsganss after loss to Taylor Rehmet in Tarrant County: "Tonight is a wake up call for Republicans in Tarrant County, Texas and the nation."

Worst video I’ve seen from Portland.

I'm just going to wait until this Melania film drops on the Cartoon Network.

Yes, this friendly 2019 Jeffrey Epstein email exchange is about the owner of the Patriots, Robert Kraft. But it's more important who it is WITH: Brad Karp, the chairman of Paul, Weiss. And Karp was still chairman when Paul, Weiss became the first law firm to cave to Trump's demands in 2025. 1/

POWERFUL: With snow falling in freezing weather in Chicago last night, the massive anti-ICE/Border Patrol rally wrapped up in front of City Hall as the energized crowd chanted, "I believe that we will win!"

When I saw this earlier, I couldn’t believe it had been released by DOJ. Well, it was quickly deleted.

This is a targeted attack on science media. Bhattacharya has slammed science media for what he calls biased coverage, but how are our readers — the global scientific community — supposed to understand his new agency priorities if we can't even get in the door?

These are all Black people. The regime is betting that you wont care Jamael & Trahern the way you care about Alex & Renée

Hey Schumer, was this part of your spending talks? DHS is spending millions and millions in cash on warehouses to cage people. Is Congress just going to sit there and let the fascist Trump regime turn America into a nation of concentration camps? @schumer.senate.gov

The majority of Americans are now aware that the purpose of increased ICE/CBP funding isn't to catch drug cartel members or whatever but to terrorize, kidnap, hurt, and kill ordinary people. The majority supports outright abolishing ICE; slashing ICE's & CBP's budgets should be an essential demand.

“the Democrats’ list of demands appears to have shrunk after internal deliberations.” 🙃

We’ve spent time over the past few weeks criticizing Democrats who are pro-ICE, like the 7 House Dems who voted for DHS funding. But this is an important no vote, and it’s incredibly that every Dem senator + 8 Republicans (counting Fetterman) voted against it. Dem Senate leadership stood up today🎉

Explain this to me.

So, incredibly, the White House has chosen to escalate in blue Minnesota and retreat in Maine to protect a vulnerable GOP Senator. It's confirmation that Trump-Vance-Miller view ICE as a partisan govt-backed militia to attack blue America while propping up their regime. 1/

i just want to cry. i have literally just spent the last 6 hours responding to email after email of people begging for rent money or for me to point them in the direction of help, which does not exist. please @governorwalz.mn.gov. we need an eviction moratorium. there is no other solution.

Some things I thought were ok were not actually ok.

Similar to Fleetwood Mac during the making of Rumors everybody in the Trump admin is screwing everybody (in this case mostly the American public, but also each other)…except the person they are nominatively supposed to.

My Senator friend Lisa asked for FEMA money and you said yes. Where’s my payback donjon?

Some things I thought were ok were not actually ok.

This morning ICE attempted to enter into the Ecuadorian consulate on Central Ave but were barred from entering. I spoke with Ambassador Yanez this afternoon and they want to make sure the Ecuadorian community knows it’s still safe to come to the consulate.

Chris Murphy helped draft one of the most fascist immigration bills in the history of the United States. That he appears to be the Democrat lead on what to do about ICE is immensely disturbing.

I missed this yesterday.

This expected effect of extremist policy will cause Americans to die. Conservative Americans and Liberal Americans.

The Trump admin is scrambling because the secret police it sends out for kidnappings and rioting has been killing people on video then brazenly lying about it, but Schumer's instinct is to whip his caucus into taking a position *more conservative* than that held by the median voter. He's got to go.

tomorrow, StandWithMinnesota.com will hit a million site visits and over 650,000 unique visitors. i made it 10 days ago with $600 from you guys for hosting and cloudflare. thank you. thank you.

Point blank. 10-shots. Execution. A US citizen, a VA ICU Nurse. Then lying. Blocking a real investigation.

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

This is who legacy media keeps saying is the answer to Democrats’ challenges. But like her vote 48 hours ago to increase ICE funding, this is not a viable political program in 2026

It’s happening. Snow is really coming down already. Forecast now says 19.8”. Stay safe everyone.

Now on Medium with a few edits. Thanks for the encouragement! (also just look at how pretty Greenland is) medium.com/@dotfuego/an...
