If you can see it, you can be it. 🐕💛🥇

To unnecessarily deport a sick baby and his entire family is heinous. My staff and I are in contact with Juan’s family.

Instead of "the left isn't paying enough attention to these machine gods" they're claiming to build, perhaps we should write an article about how effective altruists brand themselves "left", ask who is writing these articles, and trace their cults and sources of funding.

Today is the first day of Ramadan, the first day of Adar, Lunar New Year and Mardi Gras. This means that for one reason or another, the majority of humans on the planet have a reason to eat fried food, and that is beautiful.

They hate immigrants so much they will just let a young Coast Guardsman disappear and abandon his family

I do. I need to hear this. Rest in power, Jesse Jackson. 🙏

There’s a thing he thinks he can own by smearing his name on it, but that is just a husk, and this is its beating heart.

Dilley must be shut down and everyone inside must be freed and provided immediate medical care. www.sacurrent.com/news/two-mon...

This one hits hard. One of our greatest US documentarians, who recorded the reality of our institutions and systems and shaped our perceptions of them. Rest in peace, Frederick Wiseman.

Happy Valentines Day from me, my niece, and my fur niece 🥰

Plus: The data centers for LLMs are consuming insane amounts of water along with the electricity required, and these environmental consequences disproportionately affect minority communities. And rather than democratizing, LLMs put more money/power into the hands of the same group of billionaires...

I watched last night and these are three of the smartest people on the planet from whom I have learned a lot. If you listen, you'll learn too.

Exciting news! I'm joining Proximate as interim executive director for this year. Proximate is a media outlet tracing how money and power flow in the social sectors. This project is in the portfolio of @cftchange.bsky.social, which I'll continue to run full time. www.proximate.press/latest-stori...

I was back in federal court today. They’re still prosecuting me — my trial date is May 11th — but we’re pressing for evidence discovery. Because someone is “unreasonably obstructing the usual use” of the immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza. But it’s ICE, not me. And the evidence will prove it.

I find this question about whether chatbots are “alive” to be truly, truly boring. You can torture a definition of “life” so that it includes chatbots or you can listen to actual, unequivocal flesh-and-blood people talking about harm it does them *right now*.

this may draw a lot of mockery On Here but it's true, the u.s. build a mount everest of soft power that it is now in the process of burning to ashes

💛🙏

If for some reason you don't know about @weratedogs.com, get on their feeds now, for fantastic political perspectives and utter swaths of canine-loving joy.

The power of Italy is so strong that even Scandinavians succumb to the allure of a misguided grand romantic gesture while in that country

This is first person information about what is happening right now in US detention camps. And it's only going to get worse unless every lever of power is set at dismantling this system. Free Seamus Culleton and all the detainees now.

The U.S. currently has more prisoners and a more sophisticated system of concentration camps than Nazi Germany had on the eve of World War II in 1939

This was that first frightening video in which masked men grabbed her off the street on her way home. Now masked men are grabbing people off many streets every day. Many of the charges are dropped, only after harms to those who are kidnapped.

Post a banger that's not in English. (How to choose among so many???) Here's a perennial fave (español) youtu.be/5iIwl4jqVOw?...

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

In case you missed it last night.

From the bestskeeting author of the Bluesky-famous six-week Bad Bunny 101 comes this essential close reading of the halftime show! 🧵

When he gave the Grammy to that young boy who made everyone think of Liam…even if that wasn’t actually Liam, it was just the perfect way of cutting through all the bullshit. Every kid impacted by this administration’s cruelty is another Liam.

They sang “American Idiot”

Best description of Ilia Malinin I've seen so far.

BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors

You may be sleeping. You may be huddled in a warm home next to a fire in winter. You may be comfortably ensconced in a cool home during a heat wave. Farm workers will meanwhile be enduring heat and cold to plant and harvest the crops that feed you. Remember that when you go to the grocery store.

Friendly reminder that when DHS opens up those warehouses it just bought for ICE detention centers, this is what they plan to do. We've been here before. We're here again because people ignored the problem for four years and took pressure off the government and its rogue agencies.

Five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his family will have more time to make their case for asylum. https://cnn.it/3Zpq3Vz

this is now my whole personality

Read it and weep. Literally.

Perfetto

Beautiful. (Also, that riderless horse is most amazing way to handle the "political statement." --> www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-... )

Free them all now. Abolish ICE. Reestablish immigration services as civil, not criminal-- with clear, comprehensible status pathways. That's what the Democratic playbook should be.

💛 "...Western nations [must] choose between becoming closed and impoverished societies, or open and prosperous ones. Growth or retreat: Those are the two options before us. And by growth, I’m not talking only about material gain, but also our spiritual development." www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/o...

He's racist, we been knew that. That's what the conniptions over "woke" and "DEI" and immigrants and everything else has always been about. You wanna be useful? Rebuke this shit with deeds and hire us. Stand with us. Respect us and our leadership. I don't need pity or condolences. I need a job.

the highest and best category of human, in my opinion, is “when stuck on a long flight behind a screaming baby, plays peek-a-boo and makes funny faces to entertain child rather than getting mad or blaming parents.” few elected officials belong in this category but I believe Zohran does

Finally watched this gentleman's speech from the hearing in Surprise AZ about a proposed ICR detention warehouse. It's brief, poignant, and urgent and it should be shown to everyone in this country.

It’s a siege.
