BREAKING: I read the new version of the “Save America Act” (S. 1383) so u don’t have to. Here’s my summary. Point 1 is new. It requires that all 50 states send their voter rolls to the DHS to run thru DHS’s faulty “SAVE” voter purge program. Points 6 & 7 are new too. Tell ur Senators #NoOnSAVE 1/

How is it possible that Kristi Noem still has this job. Imagine if you’re a family member or a shipmate of this guardsman. www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

I never thought I’d see the day. Americans being told by the rest of the world to fight for our own democracy. We should never have gotten here. Keep resisting. ✊🏽 #SheShed #Voices4Victory

The U.S. Department of Defense has barred military personnel from enrolling in courses at many of the nation’s top universities, including Harvard, Yale, MIT, and Johns Hopkins. A leaked email is said to contain the full list of affected schools. Shared by MeidasTouch.

@barackobama.bsky.social: "When I was POTUS, I suppose I could have simply unilaterally ordered the military to go into some red state and harass and intimidate a governor or cut off funding for states that didn't vote for me... but that is contrary to how I think our democracy is supposed to work."

Sanders: The American people do not want this country to be an authoritarian society or an oligarchy. We have our differences, that’s what democracy is about—we argue it out. We don’t throw people who disagree in jail. We don’t intimidate the media. We don’t send ICE agents to shoot people.

So now the US is spending the enormous sum of $38 billion to build concentration camps? ICE is calling them "detention centers" but we know what they really are. I cannot believe my country would do this. Everyone should speak out against it wapo.st/3OfarSk

Bluesky is the new science Twitter, new study by @whysharksmatter.bsky.social and Julia Wester concludes! "Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter."

I remember the smog alerts in the 80s and 90s. I would come home from sports practice with my lungs burning and struggling to catch my breath. I am sickened by the blatant disregard of science and disgusted by the promotion of business interests over the health of humans living in 🇺🇸.

When the Supreme Court allowed immigration agents to consider race during sweeps, Justice Brett Kavanaugh said that citizens shouldn’t be concerned because agents will “promptly let the individual go.” For these Americans, that wasn’t true. (Published Oct. 2025)

Using military lawyers to prosecute or adjudicate cases because civilian lawyers are resigning over ethical or legal concerns crosses a line.

One Boston Children’s Hospital researcher said, “This is like asking, how do you think dropping an atomic bomb on New York City will affect the future of Broadway musicals? This is a generational loss of innovation, technology, and economic power.” www.bostonglobe.com/2026/02/09/m...

In our new poll with the Boston Globe of NIH funded scientists in Mass ... - 72% say they have delayed or cancelled projects - 66% reduced research scope - 56% paused experiments or students. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/02/09/m...

Regulations are what keeps ordinary Americans healthy and, often, alive. It took spoiled meat and rodent droppings out of our food. It took harmful lead out of our gasoline and paint. It took poison out of our water. Deregulation only achieves one goal: making rich corporations richer.

"Former Norwegian PM Thorbjørn Jagland has been charged with "gross corruption" over his ties with the US sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, police have said. The charge was brought after the Council of Europe lifted Jagland's immunity..." <AHEM> USA, that's how it's done. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Apart from Epstein and Maxwell, no individual has been charged with a crime connected to Epstein or the revelations in the files. Not one. Turkey, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, and Norway have all opened investigations based on these files. Foreign governments are taking this more seriously than ours.

It passed the House, so contact your Senators! Republicans are pushing the SAVE America Act to choke off the vote. Passports to register. National photo ID to vote. Database purges to wipe out voters. Millions of citizens silenced so GOP can cling to power. We see it. We stop it. #HandsOffHerVote

Breaking: House passes new version of SAVE Act, worst voter suppression bill considered by Congress. Could disenfranchise: -21 million Americans w/out access to citizenship papers -69 mil married women who took partner’s name -21 mil w/out valid drivers license www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The best hope of forcing Putin to stop his genocidal invasion is to push Russia toward bankruptcy. The $12 trillion partnership deal that is reportedly being negotiated with the US is the exact opposite

Lotta fat old guys telling Olympic athletes that they should be sent home. No one is stopping you from getting off your couches and training to take their spots. Until then, enjoy watching them exercise their free speech rights. Go team USA.

Patriotism is about striving for a righteous country, not parroting empty slogans and waving a flag. Our athletes get it.

Ten countries have launched investigations related to the released Epstein files. Norway, UK, France, Lithuania, Latvia, Sweden, Australia, North Macedinia, Turkey, Poland. Conspicuously absent is the United States, the epicenter of this scandal. We know why. …

"in July 2023, 80% of Danes said they saw the US as a friend or ally. Now, fewer than 26% do". www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

NEW: A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered.

Rosa Parks’ powerful act of courage and refusal to accept injustice is a stark reminder of our responsibility to keep fighting for equality, dignity, and freedom for all. Her legacy will always inspire California to answer the call to bravery.

Instead of bringing down costs, Trump and his Big, Beautiful Bill added over $3 trillion to the debt for a billionaire tax giveaway. Now, Dr. Oz says you should pay off Trump’s debt bomb instead of retiring after working hard your whole life. This is dystopian.

Paris prosecutors raid the French offices of Elon Musk’s X as part of an investigation into spreading child pornography and deepfakes.

Biometric locks for phones aren’t just convenient for you, they are convenient for the cops. “explicitly authorized law enforcement personnel to obtain Natanson’s phone and both hold the device in front of her face and to forcibly use her fingers to unlock it” theintercept.com/2026/01/30/w...

Increasingly, it seems, many young people are seeing AI (and through so much propaganda from Silicon Valley, politicians, business leaders, and school administrators) for what it really is: a tool that simultaneously destroys the environment and human minds.

"About 500 seniors live at Sinai Residences in Boca Raton, Florida, including many Holocaust survivors. Recently, some of them asked if they could hide the building’s Haitian staff in their apartments." This broke me.

You can feel the tone sharpen as the opinion moves from history to the Fourth Amendment to the government’s behavior. Judge Biery documents, in real time, the moral and constitutional collapse of people who hold immense power.

An Abu Dhabi royal backed a secret $500 million investment in Trump’s crypto company. Months later, U.A.E. won access to tightly guarded American AI chips.

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here. (clip via MPR and @davidjbier.bsky.social on X)

Devastating report from @themarshallproject.org: Children and infants are being held in unspeakable conditions, with "moldy, worm-filled food and foul-tasting, undrinkable water," and no access to education or toys. www.themarshallproject.org/2026/01/29/i...

Jonathan Karl: This stuff is truly crazy ... claims that Italian spy satellites ... the CIA ... the FBI ... China all conspired tried to steal the 2020 election. Oh, and Obama tried to overthrow the government he led in 2016. In the hours after FBI agents seized 2020 election ballots

This evening, President Trump put out a statement on social media saying he will decertify “all aircraft made in Canada.” This statement could have wide reaching consequences for the wildfire aviation world. open.substack.com/pub/thehotsh...

🧵This is what our tax dollars are going towards. Not education, health care, or public transport. Cages for people. DHS just paid $70 million in cash for a warehouse in Surprise, AZ. The week before, $102 million for one in Maryland. A third in El Paso.
