Could we send this around again please? I'm struggling to keep my head above water at the moment and my phone is about to be shut off. Any help would be so appreciated 🖤

“Democrats are afraid of what they’ll find in the Epstein Files. They don’t want full accountability.” I will burn the Democratic Party to the ground and piss on the ashes if I find out our leaders were involved in a massive child sex trafficking operation. Every Democrat I know feels the same.

So remember kids... Bullying works.

Kinda feels like this should be a bigger scandal. I know that every day there are a dozen things that should be a scandal. But this one should be bigger.

For my money, the way thousands of regular people are self-organizing to resist data centers is one of the most cautiously hopeful stories going right now. www.themountaineer.com/news/no-cryp...

It was believed in medieval times that hedgehogs had spikes so they could roll over fruit to carry home to their children, which is not true but is a really cute idea

Quick trip to #portland for a screening event for #antiquesroadshow prior to broadcasting the #maine episodes next week. Thank you @mainepublic.org!

As a #AntiquesRoadshow fan I screamed when Wadsworth Mansion was the location for a recent season of appraisals. “It does exist.”

Got out the tiny donkey to encourage voters in Wisconsin to turn out for Judge Chris Taylor on April 7. Join us! #PostcardsToVoters Postcardstovoters.org

I've been postcarding again and sent off 2 sets of postcards, one for Markers for Democracy for a school board race in Arkansas and one for Postcards to Swing States going to voters in Georgia. #postcards #democracy #postcardstovoters #activism

From the Seahawks parade in Seattle yesterday: 📸 NFL

I cannot stress enough how much these kinds of notes mean to teachers. Or anyone, really. If someone has made a positive impact on your life, reach out and let them know. It'll make their week.

The US right licks the boots of the Confederacy, too. The US right will always give it up for racist losers. It's who they are, too.

thanks to all of you, we paid four more families rent today.

THIS is how it's done. "...we must not stop until ICE is completely abolished, and no more families are ever separated again."

Has Jacob Frey taken a moment away from smiling for the cameras to sign off on the $1M city council allocated for rental assistance yet?

I'm so tired of it. And it can be things that aren't even exactly insults but stuff like saying "weak chin" or a "strong jaw" to indicate something about a person's character when uh, that's outside of a person's control (usually).

How do I know I'm old? I'm watching the #WinterOlympics and the moguls competition is on and all I can think is Ow ow ow ow ow ow OW ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow OW how are his knees not pulp by now OW ow ow ow ow

feeling this VERY HARD THESE DAYS

Reminder: @bradtabke.bsky.social is a Minnesota legislator from a district so purple our legislature stopped for weeks while GOP tried to steal his seat YET helped organize legal observers AND confronted ICE to protect residents (many ineligible to vote for him) AND helped stop a concentration camp

Genuinely curious how many days our mayor has spent in Minneapolis over the last month or so and how much he's been out of town.

Today my block leader told me that a volunteer had come and cleaned her kitchen and bathroom. We were breaking Costco-much rice into smaller bags at the time. I hope that one of the things people learn is that we all have gifts we can give, even if it is not showy. It all can help.

The MAGA credo: Are crimes committed by rich white people, REALLY "crimes?"

Republicans are hurtling toward their last defense of, "Is it a crime to be rich scum?"

To everyone thanking me, much appreciated but not why I posted! Pls support your local immigrant defense group like: The Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota: www.ilcm.org/donate/ Or my hometown LUCE: www.lucemass.org/donate Or Google your city/state & “immigrant defense” to find your local heroes!

This is a long thread but you should read it. In related news, judges *must* start holding AUSAs in contempt (and then locking them up) if we want this to stop without more bloodshed.

In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/11/u...

I'm often asked how much of RBML's collection is digitized. In roughest of numbers: about half a million volumes held, about 5,000 volumes digitized across multiple projects. That's .01 (1%). Now, that doesn't cover where other libraries' copies were digitized so we didn't scan ours, but still.

Since February 15th is coming up, a friendly reminder that mouthy women get stuff done even way back in the day: constitutioncenter.org/blog/on-this... #belva #lockwood #women #lawyers ⚖️♀️

A difficult day entirely redeemed by an email from a librarian ❤️

i think it is a massive fucking problem that the first best use for LLMs was to cheat in school

This is all performative bullshit. Believe it when you don't see ICE in Minneapolis/Saint Paul anymore.

ICE “left” Chicago in November, but they’ve disappeared three people from my community in two days this week. Don’t believe the hype about them, leaving Minnesota, either.

Pam Bondi Thought That Went Pretty Well

Look! "News of a potential immigrant detention center in Kansas City sparked fierce public backlash over the past month. At rallies and protests, many people called on Platform Ventures to not sell the building to the federal government..." And now: www.kcur.org/news/2026-02...

yep, they're still at it in LA and Portland too the media is gonna be like "time for a new narrative" and it's so important to keep talking about how none of the cities they invaded have become more safe since the spotlight shifted away from them

UPDATE: He was just released. This shows that just indiscriminately took someone because they were Latino. Their illegal tactics continue so we still need neighbors to patrol, observe, and support our immigrant community.

Sometimes the answer to the question "How should this sentence be punctuated?" is "It should be entirely rewritten." #copyediting

She is an empty suit, of course. And an absolute nasty piece of cornbread. She is also, to my somewhat trained ear, absolutely, positively terrified here. She is either intimidated by the process or deeply anxious about her relationship with her boss. Or both. But she is terrified.

"Scuffles ... putting trained activists ... in harm's way". Ron Johnson is literally describing the 1960s Civil Rights Movement here.

Re: Minnesota I think it's important to both recognize they're lying about a full retreat and recognize it as a victory that they're cognizant enough of the PR disaster to feel the need to lie.

On my flight today, a chatty lady said, “I can’t go to New York with all that’s going on over there.” And I said, “What? Free child care?” And she stopped talking to me.

I'm still SHOCKED by the obscene rise in billionaire election spending since Citizens United in the NYT piece, despite already knowing that election corruption w/ $ was profound. (Recall that BCRA fought dangerous campaign $ in *2002*) The article data didn't have a graph, so I made one to show it.

i think about this constantly. tradwife culture absolutely is a kink and no one will acknowledge that it's basically a 24/7 BDSM arrangement but done in an extremely unsafe and dangerous way.

Gandalf really is heroic when you consider that there were originally five wizards and one of them turned evil, two of them fucked off and went out east to have orgies, and one is just super into talking to gophers. The one last hope of free peoples was the stoner and that crazy mfer did it.

well i for one couldn’t be more excited for the possibilities of AI. finally a technology that answers the age old question ‘what if clippy was wormtongue’
