Even this is a massive understatement of the actual costs, since all of those things require advance planning, paperwork, and (in some cases) scheduling document retrievals (often only possible during work hours). The cost doesn't have to be high in dollars to be a prohibitive tax on voters.

"Crockett can't win Texas" discourse is so dumb. A white male Dem hasn't won statewide since 1994. 32 years. Until someone wins it, the status quo is that no Dem can win.

Stephen Colbert blasts CBS for nixing James Talarico interview

“They’re trapped in this little confinement cell, a dark cell with no sunlight, with multiple people,” said Shaan Chatterjee, an attorney at New England Immigration Law. “They’re basically torturing people into signing off on their own deportation.” (Free article) www.sunjournal.com/2026/02/07/i...

"russia wants peace on their own terms" is the equivalent of "the Taliban want to educate women differently". We'd all mock and reject the second framing. Stop whitewashing russia and its intentions.

Civil rights figures like Jesse Jackson are why black feminists are theorized intersectionality: he might have forged a multi-racial coalition but black woman weren’t always in that coalition. Complicated man, complicated politics.

BREAKING: The Rev. Jesse Jackson, the civil rights leader from the era of MLK to Black Lives Matter, has died at 84, his family said.

Hattie Mae came today and some of our young guests caught a bunch of grasshoppers for her. 🥹

This is the interview with Talarico that FCC and CBS would not allow to air in the network last night. There have been other political candidates on talk shows. FCC (aka trump) didn’t want viewers to see this. But you should watch it. youtu.be/oiTJ7Pz_59A

I'll always have a fond memory of the original Twitter. It's where I learned that the vaccine scientist updating us on television 3+ times a day about the COVID-19 pandemic was also Rachel's dad. BTW, after each of those TV segments, Dr. Hotez always tweeted in-depth follow-up threads. Amazing. ❤️👏

Looks like things are back to normal on X what a complicated process to deal with these hacks

#SaveHerVote Female Republican Senators are betraying women in the United States by requiring a passport or birth certificate that matches their current name. This hurts women the most since they are more likely tochange their last name for many reasons.

This bit about why Colbert couldn’t show his interview with James Talarico on live TV. But it’s ok on YouTube. But he couldn’t mention the URL or even show a photo of Talarico because of FCC doing dumbass things. youtu.be/oh7DPSP65JA?...

❗️missiles entered Ukraine’s airspace. About 20 missiles detected

go south. Literally. ‘Thanks’ the first poster says with a smile emoji and adds ‘Now the main thing not get woken up by ballistic missiles in the middle of the night’ . ‘I so hear you’ another adds with a laughing emoji. Living in Ukraine now is bizzare

another says. ‘I’m also awake waiting for something and also don’t understand a thing’ . ‘ it looks so far we could all go to sleep in beds not in a hallway’ another commenter posts with a confused emoji sharing a map of Shahed movements tonight - they seem to

with a dramatic flare. And yes, people in Minnesota, you can use it to your hearts’ content

Swearing Ukrainian 101: Yobani vyrodky. It’s if you’re wondering how you could call Russia bombing Ukraine right now. Yo like in yogurt +bu as in bus + nee as in knee + vy as in we but deeper + ro as in road + d + ky as in key but deeper. Means fckng bstrds but

It’s 4:17 am in Kyiv. ~45 Russian drones still detected in Ukraine air space. Take off of Russian Tu bombers reported - could mean a missile attack in couple of hours. Explosions reported in Dnipro. In Odesa partial blackout after Russia attacked the city’s power station. Monday night in Ukraine

Wounded whale is crying over my city again. Air raid siren alert is on for Kyiv. It’s almost 5 am

Russian bombers just launched missiles, early reports say. If real, they could reach Ukraine in about 1 hour

putting it right by the tent, by the edge of a yoga mat. Like if this order can help control the hell the chaos whatever is trying to eat us up alive yet covering in colourful blankets trying to sleep trying to live

This became (almost) daily routine for people of Kyiv: sheltering in metro hiding from Russian drones and missiles. Setting up tents, bringing mattresses and colorful blankets, water and soda - for kids - snacks, even mobile toilets - for pets. taking off boots and sneakers carefully

Russian drones in direction of Kyiv detected

‘So does Kyiv sleeps tonight or not? I got so confused is anything flying or not’ one Ukrainian posts. It’s 1 am in Ukraine and Russian drone were reported in direction of Kyiv region. ‘Guess there are many wondering the same tonight’

There is still a widespread threat to Ukraine. The air raid map shows most regions under a warning of air attack. But I need to sleep now. Back in a few hours.... Be safe, Choose Love and a Just Peace.

Ufa and Izhevsk airports take the tally of Russian airports closed tonight, into double figures. In fairness, I should report that Ulyanovsk and Penza have been allowed to resume operations as the drone threat is said to have cleared. bsky.app/profile/twmc...

Just before I get a few hours' sleep, an update from Dnipro. No-one was injured, but a big fire broke out following Russian drone attacks. Officials say an administrative building and a car were damaged. #SopRussia
