Yes, yes we can

“.. This is a 37 point shift left.”

How far we’ve come

"The deployment is on track to exceed $600 million at the one-year mark, in August. “Despite that significant investment of taxpayer dollars, the National Guard has been unable to identify any measurable public safety outcomes attributable to their presence...” www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

I’d like to report a murder. 😆😆😆👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

“Renee was not the first person killed, and she was not the last,” Becca Good said. “You know my wife’s name and you know Alex’s name, but there are many others in this city being harmed that you don’t know — their families are hurting just like mine, even if they don’t look like mine.”

In related news about the Washington Post and the state of journalism today, Amazon "ran a $1.2 billion tax bill last year, down from $9 billion the previous year, even as its profits jumped by 45% to nearly $90 billion." That's in the wake of the 2025 tax bill www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.

I will not amplify the disgusting racist image that Trump posted of the Obamas, but I will say that he has always been a disgusting racist. And it’s a terrible blight on our country that the poison of racism continues to fuel the fortune of a low-life like him.

I love this

This… trickle down economics…piss and shit

I’m not sure we’ve properly addressed how profoundly disturbing it is that America can largely shrug at the stashing of human beings in giant warehouses.

In the historically anti-union South, the UAW just secured a landmark contract with Volkswagen. The workers won major wage increases, job security against outsourcing, and higher-quality healthcare. Congratulations to these workers, and remember: there is always hope in labor.

True statement.

Wake up‼️ Trump’s election theft playbook is on repeat. He keeps talking about election fraud and trying to take over state elections far too often to ignore. This is serious.

@slotkin.senate.gov. Can you explain your rationale?

Dr. Patricia Bath & Marian Croak were the first two Black women inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame, 2022. Bath saved the sight of millions with her Laserphaco Probe for cataract treatment. Croak did pioneering work in Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology. #WomenInSTEM #BHM

What divides us now is not our political views, but our ethical beliefs. #Truth

This is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no ‘misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.

Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left. It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too

Understatement of the century

It’s really weird for some corners of the media to do a whole “the Epstein files are a moral panic that has gone too far” thing when no one has faced any sort of punishment and doesn’t sound like they’re going to.

18 U.S. Code § 592 makes it a crime punishable by 5 years in prison to deploy federal troops to polling places

Every American needs to watch this:

Do they all get deported now? Is that how this works?

Watching commentators still refusing to see the white nationalism of this administration and arguingTrump is targeting Atlanta, Philadelphia and Detroit because they are blue cities is just, it’s got to be intentional at this point. There are a ton of blue cities. These are majority Black cities.

Nothing says cinematic excellence like a ratings investigation. ☠️

This speaks volumes about the so-called “Christians” who host this event. Disgusting.

This is Dennis. He was asked to do the same trick over and over again with no compensation. 13/10 justice for Dennis

Big sigh. Watch this. Can you see why the Yankees’ moment of silence, the lowered flags, the promise of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, feel like a gut punch to the very people he spent years targeting? No one wished death on this man, but what we’re seeing right now is too f*cking much.

“Uhhh, we can try”…assholes

Also my Christian clergy peeps, I’d be WILDLY grateful if you were game to share this on your colleague /denomination listservs / FB groups / slacks / whatever since every year it seems like nobody knows it exists? 🙏🥺💕

The morning after mass layoffs, The Washington Post publishes this as their lead editorial. The owner and publisher clearly have no idea why they are losing subscribers. Meanwhile they have destroyed a storied brand. Support independent media. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

My apologies everyone, I was wrong. Transgender people are in the Epstein files. . . . . . . . . . . . . As a topic of conversation amongst the rich and powerful people funding and pushing the anti-transgender movement.

The latest European Grassland Butterfly Indicator is out. It shows that grassland butterflies have declined by 47% since 1991, indicating a huge loss of grassland biodiversity. The data come from 16,150 transects & 15,000 volunteers. We are calling for urgent action. www.bc-europe.eu/documents/69...

Sitting U.S. senators don't make letters such as this one public unless they feel a paper trail is needed to inform the public. Not great. Really not great. h/t Sahil Kapur

NEW: since last year, a pair of "highly trained" feds have been involved in an array of incidents attacking crowds with chemical weapons. We used public records and open source analysis to identify Edgar Vazquez and Michael Sveum, alongside some other members of their tactical team. Read more:

the sensible people of this country want to get rid of ICE and Democratic politicians do not want to get rid of ICE we don’t have to do this goofy dance like it’s mysterious it’s a simple truth move past anyone who refuses to acknowledge

Over 30 people, that we know of, from the Epstein files, are in the Trump administration! Where is the outrage?

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

For those keeping score at home:

CATO Institute reported immigrants paid more in taxes than they received benefits from the GOV from 1994-2023 I have to confess I never imagined I would agree with anything from the CATO Institute www.cato.org/white-paper/...

Gripping and uniquely powerful. Take 2 minutes to listen. "We don't know exactly how ICE will use this warehouse; but, we know enough."

100% yes -- Homan signaled a shift in the suburbs, and it was to (more) aggression towards observers, (more) stalking kids at bus stops, (more) lurking on school grounds.
