This is an authoritarian power grab, full stop. Nationalizing elections would put the executive branch in control of who votes and how. That’s how dictators rig outcomes, crush opposition, and assault democratic self-government. This should alarm everyone: www.ms.now/news/trump-s...

It is *lunacy* for the ostensibly liberal opposition party to say we shouldn't limit any individual's wealth and power after watching a cadre of fascist billionaires systematically destroy this country. That's probably the single most important thing we *must* do!

“.. It does set a precedent, and we will follow it ... Donald Trump, all of his kids. Everybody," Frost said. @nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Corporatist fascism, plain and simple. DHS is trying to get tech companies to hand over data on Trump critics. This is unconstitutional, and Congress must shut it down, before we turn into East Germany. techcrunch.com/2026/02/03/h...

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

little item for the Senate Dems to ponder: which of the reforms you’re currently floating is going to stop this?

Say it with me now... SPINELESS VICHY DEMOCRATS!!!

Let's go!! Lisa Calderon for Mayor 2027!

The last time he started talking like this, his allies minimized the risks and we ended up with January 6. This time we must take him literally and seriously. These comments are a five-alarm fire for democracy. In a functioning republic, he would be impeached and removed from office today.

Come join us at these upcoming events!

ICE is assaulting and at war with americans. we are all their enemy. no other way to look at it at this point

Abolish ICE and fire all agents is the moderate position.

John Hickenlooper and the cronies he has voted to confirm in the Trump administration have failed Coloradans and the people of this country as a whole. We need leaders who will listen to our demands and meet the urgency of the moment we’re in! Join me.

34,000 signing up for this work AFTER seeing their fellow citizens gunned down by federal thugs in cold blood? I'm chugging whatever the opposite of doomerism is

Kar Abugazaleh x Matt Mercer might be the most based combo for a political ad of all time

you wouldn't download a health care

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

no no when we said “good guy with a gun” we didn’t mean a guy with a moral compass. we meant a short guy with a badge and a temper

/4. 5. The administration has not offered any corroboration in any form. In short, it would be foolish and irresponsible to accept or report the administration’s claim as true.

The warnings highlight just how bad of an operational security screwup Flock's info sharing design was. It also shows how cops see themselves as being consistently under threat from the people it is supposed to protect. @jasonkoebler.bsky.social reports. www.404media.co/police-told-...

You voted to confirm the VA Secretary. Do you stand by and still support him?

My family lived in Colorado before it was a state. We didn’t cross the border—the border crossed us. I grew up on a reservation, where I witnessed the inequality buried beneath the myth of the American Dream. I didn’t have the words then to describe what I saw or to make an impact. I do now.

BREAKING: 1 person is in critical condition after being shot by Border Patrol in Arizona. The individual, who has not been identified, was shot in southern Pima County near milepost 15 of West Arivaca Road at around 7:30 a.m., according to a news release from the Santa Rita Fire District.

A hearing is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. CT (10 a.m. ET) on the state of Minnesota's request to halt the ICE surge in the Twin Cities. I'm covering the proceedings remotely. From the state's memo: buff.ly/ub2bHso

The top post on @nflreddit.bsky.social right now is "[Highlight] Fox censors 'Fuck ICE' chant from fan during National Anthem". This is really breaking containment, folks. www.reddit.com/r/nfl/s/KLWj...

honestly, i wish LLM/NLP technology was genuinely exciting/useful and not just a really impressive tech demo that eventually always fails in application. more than that, i wish anyone in the tech industry still cared about making a product that fucking worked

Ok I am significantly less angry and can educate people about why this is so egregiously stupid.

On NPR on Friday, there was a story of a 4-year-old--an American citizen--who hasn't left her house since early December, not even to play in the yard. And her 8-year-old brother recently stopped going to school, too. Their father is undocumented, and the family doesn't want to risk him being taken.

My uncle is a retired ICU nurse. He was a hero during COVID and I have nothing but the greatest respect for him and nurses everywhere. RIP Alex Pretti, you were, and are, a hero

Doctors don't keep you alive. Nurses do. Doctors may write the orders and perform the surgeries, but nurses are the eyes, ears, and souls of medical care. Mary Turner is right. These are OUR people.

Nothing less than criminal charges and a ban on the app would be sufficient. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/26/b...

it's equal parts great and bizarre to see someone in office who seems genuinely proud to be a public servant

Imagine if there was no video

Journalists, please remember that repeating obviously false statements is not balance or fairness. It is actively participating in deception.

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind. It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty. Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face. Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

NEW: Trump is floating a $1.5 trillion war budget. $1.5 trillion could fund Medicaid, the child tax credit, SNAP, the Department of Education, national highway repair, the NIH, school breakfast & lunch, FEMA, the FAA, the EPA, and federal overdose prevention COMBINED. War costs us a better world.

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Last term I tried an experiment: I walked into my Tech and Design Ethics class, admitted that I had *no idea* what to do about ChatGPT - so I would let them figure it out. As in: their first project was to decide and write the ChatGPT policy for the class. Here's what happened:

Tomorrow! Spread the word!

Good question. 1) Covering substantive issues is harder than repeating press releases and reading the crime blotter 2) Challenging power and calling out BS makes powerful people angry 3) There is an audience for the old 'litany of tragedy' local news model of gawking at others' misfortune

Fuck Hakeem Jeffries, traitorous bastard

If every Democrat voted NO on funding ICE, it would not have passed the House. But, 7 House Democrats voted to fund Trump's lawless, masked goons, so it passed. Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his members to vote against ICE funding. Genuinely unforgivable.

Statement from the entire Minneapolis City Council in support of a General Strike and Day of Truth & Freedom on January 23rd.

Bipartisan negotiators released a DHS funding bill that does not significantly reduce ICE and CBP’s funding nor rein in the agencies’ abuses of power. Make no mistake: Any Democrat who votes for this bill is complicit in Trump’s campaign of terror. Grow a spine and vote no.

Don't let all the current events overshadow the fact that less than 1% of the Epstein files have actually been released, despite the law requiring all of them to have been released weeks ago.
