This entirely unnecessary tragedy goes in so many directions and involves so many people. And we can remember, the right has spent a lot of effort pretending to celebrate First Responders over the years. Let’s call them on that, in person, next time it comes up.

Me: I want Democrats who plan to run for president to openly declare their support for full trans rights. This is my one requirement in order for me to consider voting for them. Weird centrists: YOU SHOULD BE QUIET AND VOTE FOR WHICHEVER CANDIDATE HAS A D BY THEIR NAME NO MATTER WHERE THEY STAND

"The first person to be executed for treason in the US was not a spy or someone who sold secrets to a foreign government. It was not a Confederate general who took up arms against his government. It was an abolitionist named John Brown." from @nhannahjones.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/m...

This stops short of defunding ICE. But it is worth watching and sharing.

end qualified immunity and make cops carry personal liability insurance

if this was your performance review at your annual appraisal you wouldn't make it 15 min after the meeting

Been looking more deeply at this fake FTC investigation into Apple News for "promoting liberal content" and it's just the most laughably pathetic nonsense.

Are you one of nearly 70 million American women who changed their names when they got married? 🙋‍♀️ Republicans in Congress want to make it harder for you to vote. Tell your senator to oppose the SAVE Act. indivisible.org/actions/stop...

“The population of CBP agents and officers who have been arrested would make it roughly the nation’s fourth largest police department — equal to the size of the entire Philadelphia police.”🤯

I've known this was coming for years, but it's still gutting to see it. Of all the bullshit that's come from Trump and this regime, this is among the bullshittiest. Just devastatingly evil and corrupt.

Protest takes many forms. Protest should be creative. And protest is good.

Luxury traveling death merchant absolute human ghouls.

Ring ‘em, immediately when you see this skeet, please!!! 🚨☎️🚨☎️🚨☎️ Abolish ICE!

Absolutely. And someone should ask Musk this too, at one of those NYT DealBook Summit style settings that tech capitalists love so much.

Dynamic! Kinetic! Don’t buy these glasses! They’re like Ring! For your face!

Criminality is so rampant inside CBP that it has seen one of its own agents or officers arrested every 24 to 36 hours since 2005. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/accountabi...

Nope. Nope. None of this. Can’t have this. (The Trump crew will be FINE with something like this making mistakes. They want chaos, mistakes, and to inhibit basic small-d democratic functions!)

If only we could charge people with lying to Congress! If only we knew how!

Utterly shameful, deeply embarrassing, & wildly unserious. Something something the party of national security something something. And congratulations again to the 99 other Senators who unanimously voted to confirm this guy because it’s a Big Club.

In govts around the world, people in the Epstein files are resigning in disgrace. In private business, executives in the files are resigning in disgrace. In the Trump admin, nothing happens since the boss is in the files more than anyone and his party is filled with cowards.

A service I haven’t offered in a while: If you know someone who _would benefit from_ having someone explain immigration policy to them for an hour, or be here to ask questions, or whatever, hit me up via DM. “Would benefit” = not just “change my mind” but “actually work to inform/persuade others.”

We're living a terrifying new reality. Trump's DHS mob are killing US citizens, kidnapping kids and terrorizing hard working immigrants - including the farm workers who feed us. Call your Senators TODAY! Tell them don't fund ICEs terror campaign! act.seiu.org/a/do_not-fun... #ICEout

Important to note that "Authorized" here means that DHS/ICE have given *Themselves* permission to do this "masked engagement" bullshit, not that either congress or the courts say it's okay. Challenge this everywhere & every way possible, & in the meantime, keep ourselves & each other safe as we can

‘We’re not an illegitimate agency. Please do not put in the paper that we’re an illegitimate agency disappearing people in the streets and denying them their civil rights for fun and also racism. And don’t say we shouldn’t exist and should be disbanded immediately by the next administration.’

If Trump can destroy the state department, the education department and the EPA, then we can sure as shit burn DHS to the ground.

“I have a sick feeling in my stomach all the time.” If you feel this way, you’re not alone. It’s not just political stress. It’s moral and psychic injury. 🧵1/

Amazon Prime, but for gulags. "This administration is actively aspiring to a system of [the] magnitude [of the Soviet gulag, Nazi concentration camps, and Chinese labor camps] to reshape society, to its racial, political, and cultural preferences for generations to come."

Again, in actual democracies, ministers resign all the time, under threat of a no confidence vote in the parliament. We have a system where legislative confirmation totally fails ex ante to screen out wildly unqualified people, & ex post accountability depends on a toothless extraordinary measure.

Most self-destructive Super Bowl ad ever? Man, they really didn't think that one through.

this website is a machine for surfacing extremely rarefied internecine beef from toxic friend groups and you need to be able to recognize when it's happening and avert your gaze

Another good reason not to argue with shitty people on this site. Block and move on.

Shut it down. And keep it shut down.

If you've seen me post about the Block The Bombs Act before, you should know this Action Network link will let you send a pre-written (but editable) letter to your House rep urging them to cosponsor.

The effects of trauma also don’t just disappear.

KEEP GOING

The history books will remember this one

This shameful abdication—an economic, moral, and political failure—will harm Americans’ health, homes, and economic well-being. It ignores scientific fact and common-sense observations to serve big political donors.

Part of why we were so excited about these is that he designed them to print on their sides, so you can pack 100 onto the A1 mini plate easily! I did my first 100 whistle test run and omg I LOVE THEM NOW THE RAINBOWS GO ACROSS THEM??? (teeth grooves added by suggestion of folks using them!) 😍

Taking what they have stolen serves two future goals in demonstrating severe punishments to anyone who might try this again and denying the wealth to the family lest they try to seek power or influence again.

One of the first points at which it all should have ended was in 2017, when this unelected & unconfirmed person started monetizing his father-in-law's presidency in plain sight while also working in the White House & representing the US in international negotiations.

Memphis is under a federal task force occupation that includes DEA, CBP, ICE, National Guard, state troopers, and (I’m not joking) IRS agents (IRS jackets kidnapping people). No national news.

It's not a new observation at this point but that wild Noem/Lewandowski story in WSJ really brings home the extent to which all the Trump 2 cabinet-level goblins see their jobs as flying private, doing short-form video, and screaming at underlings. They all hate each other and none of them can read.

The court order we won to release over $200 million in funding for the Gateway Program’s Hudson Tunnel project is now in effect. The Trump administration never had the authority to freeze these funds, and now they must be delivered swiftly to keep this critical project moving.

Just a reminder that the Dino Store exists at the grand army plaza 2/3 stop. [Ernie Hudson voice] I love this town

Analilia Mejia, a longtime progressive organizer allied with Sen. Bernie Sanders, has emerged victorious in a crowded Democratic primary in the special election to fill the U.S. House seat formerly held by New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill.

Federal officials from the Department of Homeland Security were eyeing a Kansas City warehouse for one of their next detention facilities for immigrants. The people resisted and won.

Trump’s war on civil rights has pushed the group—117 years old today—into a new era of confrontation.
