Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

Jack Hughes said, "Everything is so political. We're athletes." Well, you and your teammates, other than the five who didn't go to D.C., were used, some intended, as political props and pawns by a racist, xenophobic, misogynistic, fascist regime that's killed its own citizens. #Hughes #SOTU #hockey

"In our current state, there is no such thing as incidental symbolism. The images and associations matter." An excellent read. (Should be a gift article. Forgive me if it didn't work.) #USmenshockey #UShockey #USwomenshockey

The reason we're here is that tens of millions of people will punch a hole in a wall if they hear someone used food stamps to buy soda but they're fine if the right-wing podcaster turned fbi director uses his taxpayer funded private jet to go party whenever he feels like it bsky.app/profile/thed...

✨ It’s a yes or no question ✨

A reminder that this is happening everywhere everyday. From my backyard 👇🏼

"We are behind… How do I guarantee that if you show up to work today nothing's going to happen to you?" Construction company owner says ICE raids are decimating her workforce — After 15 years, she fears this will be her last year as projects fall weeks behind. (From @wcconews.bsky.social )

The rule of law.

We must stop every single proposed concentration camp. www.kjzz.org/the-show/202...

We can't fall into right-wing populism’s lie that the most vulnerable in society are to blame for wealth inequality in our countries. We need to build movements that tell the truth: the story of wealth inequality is not a cultural one, but a class one.

That is an awesome analogy. She has always been a great communicator but she is really reaching peak levels. What makes it so great is that there is always meaning behind it that is about public service, not herself. That’s what public service should be. #AOC

So good. @kajakallas.bsky.social is all of us.

This is not an election. This is the authoritarian playbook for a sham election. We the people decide who votes, and we decide who we vote for, as stated in the how-to manual for the country, the Constitution. DHS has nothing to do with with elections. Think she needs her blankie.

A genuinely alarming piece in the NYT about how the developers, scientists and assorted techbros behind "AI companions"/"synthetic care" do not even know or understand the potential harms of the tech they're developing but they're too greedy to stop themselves from developing it.

The Armenian Genocide is a historical fact. Vice President Vance can delete his post, but he can't erase history. His decision to ignore the facts is beyond disrespectful to the Armenian community and the millions killed in the Armenian Genocide.

An interesting view into the incredible work that went into the best halftime show ever.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Bad Bunny makes me proud to be an American.

I have always love the Winter Olympics. These are my sports. And watching the skating breaks my heart because it reminds me of my mom. She grew up in Canada, skated, and loves when I became a rink rat. I miss her terribly.

That was the singular greatest Super Bowl halftime ever conceived and executed. It was incredible and made me feel so proud to be a first generation citizen of the United States of America. We are so many and so different and yet the same, as is humanity. Global love.

Bad Bunny understood the assignment…

HAWKS!!!!!!!

This halftime show is making me weep. Fucking gorgeous and moving.

American concentration camps. This must be stopped.

Racism has been central to Trump and his movement since he came down the escalator. He is a racist. His people are racists. His defenders are racists. His supporters are racists. His party is a party of racists. If they want to disprove that, they can. But it's important to know they don't want to.

This is Andrew Tate, brought into this country by the regime, greeted warmly in Vegas by Trump bestie and wife-slapper Dans White, and now lionizing child rapist Jeffrey Epstein. They all have each other’s backs.

Abolish billionaires.

Cruelty makes money. Thats what it’s about.

Fittingly, today I reviewed with one of my students the definitions of fascism, autocracy, nationalism, militarism, and totalitarianism. I could see the student make the connections to our current state without having to state them.

So Vilmanis gets away with a minor for what should have been a major, and possibly match penalty. Then the Panthers pull him for the rest of the game due to "injury." Sounds like they called up a player from the AHL to headhunt McAvoy and then protect the poor lad by claiming and injury. #BRUINS

The absolute transparency of this is beyond pathetic. The U.S. is an oligarchy.

I've had this in my head a lot lately. "There's a storm coming Mr [insert corrupt billionaire] You and your friends better batten down the hatches, because when it hits you're all gonna wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us."

RENEE GOOD’S BROTHERS: “Renee believed kindness mattered, and she lived that belief — even when things were hard… She looked for the light, and if she couldn’t find it she became the light for somebody else.”

Hey @schumer.senate.gov, these agents are doing this on video. Not another dime for these motherfuckers. Not one more piece of equipment, no more nonsense about body cams and training. Shut it down.

My work is being buried by algorithms. If you value my survivor centered coverage of the Epstein files, please share my posts and follow me here and at substack 🖤✊🏼 (link in bio)

The Trump administration, once again, is violating the law, judicial orders, the public trust, and far more egregiously, they are protecting the perpetrators of these horrific crimes while subjecting the survivors to more trauma, abuse, and intimidation.

Yet another example of the federal government killing/allowing its own people to die, so they can "protect us" from "them." Racist, ethnocentric, nationalist ideology hurts everyone except those in power.

EPSTEIN SURVIVORS: “This is a betrayal of the very people this process is supposed to serve… This is not over. We will not stop until the truth is fully revealed and every perpetrator is finally held accountable.”

A must watch. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/31/o...

I wouldn't believe this administration if they told me my name is Paul, the sky is blue, and that this is Earth.

Right now, Democrats have the power to defund and abolish ICE. We should do it. This is about right and wrong—and the murder we are seeing on the streets is just plain wrong. Anyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is supporting the murder of Americans. We can stop this.

It is more important than ever to recognize that it is International #HolocaustRemembranceDay. We must always work to prevent genocide and ethnic cleansing. On another note, today is also one year since my mom died after more than a decade with Alzheimer's. I miss her. #Alzheimers #caregivers

We must keep up the pressure on our representatives to put an end to this, not only in Minnesota but nationwide. The current proposals to reign in DHS and its minions are not enough.

Read this beautiful commentary from Stacey Patton. substack.com/@drstaceypat...

Former Presidents Obama and Clinton released statements about Minnesota and DHS. I take it Bush is painting his and must wait for the paint to dry.

We often hear that Republicans often express horror or disagreement or what have you about Trump and his policies in private. Isn’t it possible that it is at THAT time they’re lying, in order to avoid the personal repercussions of direct reaction? Either way, they are liars and cowards.

“Freedom is not free. We have to work at it. Nurture it. Protect it. Even sacrifice for it.”

This this this 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

🚨BREAKING: Hours after federal immigration officers shot and killed a man in Minneapolis, Pam Bondi seized upon the incident to demand access to voter rolls, directly tying the Trump administration’s quest for voters’ unredacted personal data to its aggressive immigration raids across the state.

US citizen. Public servant. Licensed to carry a firearm but had no weapon in hand when killed. Attacked by ICE agents with chemical munitions for no reason, then shot. The time for talking is over. If you are an elected leader you have to tell us *now* what you are doing to end this nightmare ASAP.
