After a 16-year-old complained his zip-ties were too tight at a an ICE/FBI raid in southwest Idaho, an officer laughed and tightened them, the ACLU alleges in a new lawsuit. He still has scars, months later.

Investigators say one immigration official abused his girlfriend for years. Another admitted he sexually abused a woman in his custody. A third is charged with taking bribes.

Bad Bunny understood the assignment…

It’s got the words, so I need to post again. I cannot love this any more!

No flipping way!! Yes I just watched this 5 times to believe it!

I loved that #BadBunny reminded us of the nations in the Americas during his halftime show at the #Superbowl. Diversity is our strength!

The linemen piece caught my attention immediately. My local municipal utility responded to mutual aid and we had people there for 6 months, helping restore where possible, but also redesign at least part of the grid.

This. ❤️❤️ #BenitoBowl

Holy cow! I grasped that he said god bless America, and then named off the countries in North and South America, and was so impressed I did not notice the screen behind. “The only thing more powerful than hate is love” ❤️❤️❤️

More than half the drugs on the TrumpRx site have a cheaper generic version on the market. Pristiq, an antidepressant, is available with a TrumpRx coupon for ~$200 for a 30-day supply. A generic version is on GoodRx for less than $30 and Mark Cuban's CostPlusDrugs for $16.65.

The Star Tribune’s reporting has linked the mass resignations from the office to recent directives from the DOJ, including its refusal to investigate the killing of Renee Good, columnist Jill Burcum writes.

This is where we are shifting towards, as norms change.

VERY powerful article on what @jbf1755.bsky.social called “the murder of the Washington Post” but this time by one of the tech billionaires who seemingly lost interest when the press didn’t roll in profits like tech does…as they murder our ability to learn about the world we live in.

Wow! Congrats to the VW workers! This is #thePowerOfUS

I am. But there are three things at play here regarding ICE collecting private data. Quick rundown on the issue, why you should be paying attention, and what I'm doing about it:

Russia and the United States are no longer bound by any limits on the size of their strategic nuclear arsenals after their last arms control treaty expired on February 5 with no agreement between them on what should come next reut.rs/4aekQVk

Today is the 32nd anniversary of Byron De La Beckwith’s Feb. 5, 1994 conviction for murdering Medgar Evers in 1963. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that this news broke today. That racist POS—who bragged about killing Evers at Klan meetings and rallies—died in prison in 2001.

Don’t buy into Trump’s fake populism for a second. He’s governing for the rich and powerful — not you

Alabama's maternal health stats are akin to those of Venezuela or Colombia. California's stats are closer to those of Sweden or The Netherlands. And this reflects sharply on quality of life.

Interesting history on how the Supreme Court operated over the history of the US

Don’t make the mistake of lumping this in with weekly Trump outrages. This is the knife at the jugular of democracy. It should be an absolute call to maximum resistance for all patriots. Trump, in an Escalation, Calls for Republicans to ‘Nationalize’ Elections www.nytimes.com/2026/02/02/u...

there's this new dynamic where the DOJ cannot win in court and is (relatedly) incapable of meeting the minimum threshold of professional legal conduct, and so an increasing percentage of its actions are purely for intimidation and content

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

“No single person can destroy what America stands for and believes in, not even a President, if we —all of America - stand up and speak out. We know who we are. It's time to show the world.”

We finally got gun-control.

Please find some time to read this article of what has been happening in Minneapolis

As always, well worth the watch. Tonight she pointed out how much we have learned about resistance from the brave community in Minneapolis, and how much this regime is about power, even to the point where they have no real policy, because that does not serve them getting into power and staying.

“The more time you spend doing something, whatever is possible for you to do in the world, the less exhausted you are by the onslaught of information that really wins when it can convince you that the only thing you can do is watch what is happening to you.” 🔥 from @tressiemcphd.bsky.social

She unmasked them. They're using brutality and violence to get what they want. It's not about immigration. It's about coercion and power.

Congressional Republicans gave Trump a slush fund for ICE and CBP in the "Big Beautiful Bill." Tens of billions of dollars that is still usable even during a shutdown. Democrats must make rescinding that money the price of any future govt funding, as Republicans did with IRS money from the IRA.

Here is the link to the full video, so very insightful into how and why we are where we are….and some thoughts on what we can do.

Goodness this is SO INSIGHTFUL, and well in line with well being research, that it matters where we devote our efforts and attention to.

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation. Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

Yet still we reduce spending to people with little other support throwing more at money hoarders

🎉🎉🎉 House votes FOR supporting people!

‼️‼️

Wow! This is work that I’m truly grateful for, what a difference it could make for so many people. #science

Well worth a read, why have we not looked at social media as information sharing, similar to the press or “media” but now so many more options to start up new sources, and share information that is not reliable

Oh the refrain of those with money to spare, it can look like the solution to anything. If only they could grasp the experiences of people focused on helping others over making lots of money. SO DIFFERENT

Groceries saw their biggest jump in nearly three years last month, a worrisome sign for inflation-weary shoppers. Tariffs are contributing to higher prices for imported staples like bananas and coffee.

I've long advised teachers faced with moronic mandates to work on two tracks at once: Do what you can to minimize the damage of these policies right now while simultaneously organizing colleagues to work on changing the policies (rather than treating them as facts of life). Same applies to our […]

I think it would be an absolute shame if people found out the Portland Inflatable Frog Costume is still available on Amazon under $40 and it'll be delivered before Halloween. We wouldn't want the regime to be defeated by a frog army, now would we? www.amazon.com/Inflatable-C...

Or just the future? It seems like we have failed many of “we the people” over the years. Can WE do better at helping US?

Ouch, more making the US less safe

Also note the violence is all on the military side giving so much more power to the pastor and the community he is protecting.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Helpful summary of how we got to this war on truth, not sure about the options to get out, other than better conversations where people feel safe to see past the propaganda and mis information
