This is definitely who should control our elections - predatory platforms encouraging less regulation and more risk. That’s fine, probably.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

Two years ago, Valentine’s Day became kidney day 🫘 2/14 will always bring me back to Brigham and Women’s, and connect me forever to my kidney recipient. She and the donated kidney are doing great! Give love to your friends and neighbors today, whatever that looks like for you ♥️

Well I’m crying. Happy Valentine’s Day ♥️

The senator in this video is totally correct and also - say Alex Pretti was murdered. Because he was. Reform isn’t enough. Abolish and prosecute.

everyone’s saying “people are NIMBYs about concentration camps” and yeah, I don’t want a concentration camp in my neighborhood, or anywhere you know who I don’t mind in my neighborhood? free immigrants, undocumented or otherwise

See? More of this, please

If I enjoyed yesterday’s piece in the Current, I absolutely reveled in today’s reading from @ecorinews.bsky.social - Frank Carini eviscerates the gov’s proposed budget and idiot rollbacks to renewables & energy efficiency. Read here: ecori.org/gov-mckee-se...

“It’s convenient for the utility that we’re not talking about the utility costs, we’re only talking about energy and taxes,” Koo said. “That’s to their benefit.” via @rhodeislandcurrent.com rhodeislandcurrent.com/2026/02/11/q...

Oh. Ok.

JFC I've heard that Fetterman is considering supporting the SAVE act. It's a disaster of a bill that would create sweeping disenfranchisement. Whoever your senators are, I don't care, call them. I don't wanna hear if you think they definitely will or won't support this, take 3 minutes & call.

City Council was last night! I will be catching up and maybe watching the recording. If anyone has a recap or knows of anything spicy that happened, let me know.

So, you want to "do something" but the help/hopelessness of the moment (and maybe seasonal depression) might be overwhelming; so much needs to happen, so many need help, how do you even begin? Start with you. What do you want to do? What are you good at, passionate about, and/or willing to learn?

Gallup has measured Presidential approval ratings for 88 years. Their last report on Trump had him with the lowest rating for any President record in history. Today they announced they won’t measure approval ratings anymore. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence.

RFK Jr is in charge of your kids’ health and is in the Epstein Files.

It’s day 72 of the ICE occupation of MSP. We received some DMs after yesterday’s post asking how to help with rent relief: check out the rent relief funds at StandWithMinnesota.com

Ari Berman is one of the people I’ve learned the most from reading on voting rights and history. This is bad bad. The SAVE act could crush democracy for so many.

Another day, another protest at the Burlington ICE field headquarters. 1/?

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Hello existential dread. I think that’s enough internet for me.

Vinay Prasad failed at vaccine ethics 101. You cannot use a placebo when a previously effective vaccine is already available. He wants to take vaccines away.

“I’ve mentioned before that concentration camp regimes in their early stages often make use of large open infrastructure to convert into detention spaces. Dachau was converted from a shuttered factory into a concentration camp in 1933.”

I really feel like: Donald Trump is building a prison camp system on the scale of Hitler, Stalin, and Mao … would be a good and true headline to run every day. Advertisements across media. Speeches on the Senate. Everywhere.

Thank you @magaziner.house.gov for signing on to this legislation. We should not be aiding in the murder of normal folks, domestically or abroad. Rep @amo.house.gov why aren’t you signed on yet?

This is so fucked! There is no reform that works for people who are intent on terrorizing communities! This is not law enforcement! Why are we giving them this space to learn and trample our resistance!

I’ve been saying this over and over since 2016 (responding to personal and collective threats) Now is the time to be who you mean to be. Now is the time. Think about that deeply. What does it mean to choose your role in this moment. What is your inner mandate?

I just donated to help families in Minneapolis who can’t pay rent because of ICE. Can you help?

Denying science, creating conditions that make us less safe in basically every way, and preventing expanded health protections. This administration is trying to kill us. Also - more and more reasons to mask! apnews.com/article/mode...

We could have nice things, we could be much less sick. But not when grifters are put in charge. 🩺 #Medsky

Everyone here has had to decide what they will and won’t do. Will you take someone in your house? Will you bring them groceries? Will you patrol streets with a whistle? Will you do some other kind of work, of which there are many. And how many of these types.

Worth watching this in full. The statement is more powerful than this quote alone. Here is is from USA Today, with alt text. Also! Rich Ruohonen is a personal injury lawyer and the oldest athlete to ever represent the United States in a Winter Games at 54 years old.

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

Newport school committee happening right now! Remember I won’t be there so check it out yourself.

In fiery remarks, Rep. Goldman tells Lyons if he doesn't want ICE to be called "a fascist regime" or "secret police," then his agency needs "to stop acting like one." "People are simply just observing what they are seeing. That’s why people are making those comments."

I would no exaggeration be about to piss my pants if there were this many officers around my car. The calm this observer maintains is amazing. And of course, they and rep @andysmithmn.bsky.social are completely correct that there is no law being broken here by these observers.

I'm going to do a thread of all the references and context behind Bad Bunny's performance and what it means for Puerto Ricans to see this on the biggest stage. The opening title screen is a street mural in Puerto Rico that comes to life with footballs as coconuts. Follow along!

Shut down all of these concentration camps and provide everyone inside with medical care and US citizenship as reparations, if they want it.

This is amazing. Thank you for doing this! The symbolism and joy are deep deep deep in Bad Bunny’s halftime show. I loved it 😭🇵🇷

This is incredibly gross. Adoption is not an alternative to abortion. Great thread on reaction to/analysis of this ad and announcement.

The March for Life is going to end up killing *actual babies* with measles in the name of non-existent, hypothetical babies. which is the most perfect distillation of the American MAGA worldview that I think I’ve ever seen.

Happy Superb Owl day to all who celebrate.

A woman in the row behind me on the airplane was wearing a Bills sweatshirt so as we deplaned I said “sorry for your loss” and she didn’t even blink lol she was like - ugh thank you so much.

3deg in Warwick; high of 80 in sunny San Diego 😎 I am not sad to be getting out of the cold for a little bit but I am so sorry to my #NewportRI #CityCouncil folks because I already lied to you - I will NOT be posting during this week’s school committee or city council meetings due to work travel.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

Hot take, but no one should be using ChatGPT and any AI products in general.

Newport This Week wrote about the debate over to receive our EEC communication on the future of gas. I’m quoted and they at least read the letter! Check it out here, page 3: www.newportthisweek.com/pageview/vie...
