Business as usual isn't going to cut it. During our State of the Union Response, @repsummerlee.bsky.social makes the case that any old Democrat won't do. Heading into the midterms, we need leaders willing to stand up and put up a real fight for working people.

youtube.com/shorts/tb3jX... Never settle. Don't let tech oligarchs tell the people what we want, and what we should settle for.

This really sums it up.

The FBI hard at work investigating the Epstein Network; this picture cost $400,000 U.S. tax dollars to produce.

An ICE whistleblower is testifying right now at a congressional forum. His claims are that the agency is "Lying to Congress and the American people" about its training of new recruits. Ryan Schwank was an ICE academy instructor for new recruits before he resigned earlier this month.

Milquetoast response from the Democratic leadership. ICE has more than proven that they need to be abolished.

#Valve could save their steam machine, and PC gaming by finishing out #SteamOS for desktop. A linux desktop that can pull away gamers has to shake Microsoft's stock price, which would jiggle that AI bubble pretty well. It's not a short jump, but not too far from that to attract businesses.

Look, the states are willing to help calculate what’s owed!

The greatest threat to the existence (and betterment) of the world is those people who think they can survive its fall.

"He’s always been that little liar. I mean no one—no one—likes him.” “I wouldn’t piss on him if he was on fire.” @nlanard.bsky.social reports on Florida Rep. Cory Mills, perhaps the most hated man in Congress, and his many, many scandals. bit.ly/46kf7fP

The cover-up just never ends. Rest in peace, Ruben Ray Martinez.

It's true because we don't know how many people ICE has disappeared into the concentration camp system.

My friend Alexis Goldstein is a warrior against Wall Street and oligarchy. The Trump regime fired her from the CFPB as part of their plot to gut consumer protections. Now, she’s running for Congress. Please donate if you can. She’s a real one!

The ICE concentration camp in Dilley, Texas has an alarming record of horrific abuses and abject neglect within its walls. Call your Senators and Representatives and urge them to work towards the release of all children in abusive detention camps!

News you can use, from the @wired.com security team (who are the best in the biz). They asked technologists, activists, aid groups, and cybersecurity experts for guidance on how to organize and collaborate in an age of surveillance. Here’s the result:

Our corporate oligarchs think we're dumb enough to trade our rights for services.

Still no money for our healthcare or social programs, but still more tens of billions for other countries. Totally makes sense.

“I reject the lie that deporting my neighbor is how I win better pay and working conditions. We’re fighting for a country where families stay together without living in terror, so we’re ALL better off!”

Supporting the American Gestapo is completely disqualifying. @rephaleystevens.bsky.social, you are a traitor to the American people, and your farce of a primary campaign is an attack on every single person who lives in the state of Michigan. If you’re in Michigan: don’t vote for a Quisling

#RandyFine seems like a wonderful human being and not a bigot caught on video doing illegal stuff...at all. en.democraticunderground.org/100221018842 thehill.com/homenews/hou...

A two-month-old named Juan Nicolás has been held with his mother at the South Texas Family Residential Center, an immigration detention facility near Dilley, Texas, for more than three weeks roughly half of his life. The infant had been exhibiting serious health problems,

These concentration camp conditions will be recreated in many cities soon. Not to mention Dilley, Portland, etc where they already exist. www.startribune.com/no-humanity-...

To a certain extent #AI tools/chatbots are here to stay, but I wouldn't call professors who shun AI in class "heads in the sand." If you don't retain your own information, they can change reality to fit their own ends. AI chatbots are epistemological weapons. techcrunch.com/2026/02/15/t...

Wow.

Last year, multiple mega law firms pledged almost $1 BILLION in “pro bono” legal services to Convicted Felon Trump & his Regime. I am demanding these firms actually show their work as I don't think they’re benefiting society, but merely helping Trump line his own pockets. youtu.be/mUssE1KBbNw?...

ALL HANDS ON DECK!! IL's AIPAC-backed Dems want to quietly kill a bill that would repeal the current Anti-BDS law, which blacklists any company deemed to be limiting its economic relationship with Israel from the state pension.

Remember when Noem went before cameras right away to label Renee Good and Alex Pretti as “domestic terrorists”? Before any investigation had even happened?

Homeland Security wants Social Media sites to expose Anti-ICE Accounts!!!! The Government is trampling on our CIVIL LIBERTIES!!!!! #ICE #Epstein #EpsteinFiles www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/t...

I didn’t make this, but it’s pretty spot on

Lying under oath to Congress is the loyalty test. His whole cabinet lied to her confirmed, why would they stop violating the law now? There's no consequences for it yet. Yet.

They’re corrupt lawbreakers, every last one.

The Dilley family detention center is run by CoreCivic, a major Trump donor who has raked in millions from federal contracts already. Never forget who is profiting from this cruelty.

Unfortunately it still is left versus right. Because the right are willing to inhumanly lower the bar to keep power. They will never care about his perversions, his abuses, his unchecked vile towards every human being in enough numbers to effect change in his behavior. I wish I was wrong. Truly.

USCIS has an office by mine in south Denver. They have a large parking lot full of brand new black Suburbans lined up. Looks like they are getting ready to ramp things up in Denver.

Dear God.

Anyone want to guess why the airspace over El Paso was restricted after midnight? I assume it was the Christian Nationalists in charge going to Juarez to get their very non-Christian needs met.

Only in America will we venerate people with a side hustle, instead of realizing we should only need to have one job to survive. And turn around and eat the rich.

Make Art (1/4)

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

I'm old enough to remember Republicans complaining that the citizens of Puerto Rico and D.C. shouldn't get representation because it would favor #Democrats. And Democrats relenting. After this push by the GOP to claim more seats by gerrymandering, that argument is dead. Make them states!

Tax cuts for giant corporations and the super rich. Paid for by cuts to the social safety net for everyone else. Trickle-up economics.

There are legal ways to get back. I am all for ICE fishing.

It's not an "or" it's just "resign". You are too old and too ethically weak for this moment.

This is not a policy quibble. This is a battle for the soul of our nation. ICE is kidnapping children, murdering our neighbors in concentration camps, & executing innocent people in broad daylight. They must be abolished. @delauro.house.gov, defend your constituents from fascism or resign

This kind of out-and-out bigotry from the most powerful position in our country has literal physical effects on the people who he is saying these things about. That feeling of suffocation from the pressure of injustice. Apologizing for it is not enough. The whole system needs to be burned down.

I've seen this on Nero The Assassin, and I hate it. It's unreal, but more importantly, it completely changes the human acting on screen. To appreciate humanity is to love the sounds of words in languages you've never heard. Merde. www.localizationinstitute.com/case-study-n....

Chad Michael Watts from Kyle, Texas.

Trump claims he wants to cap credit card interest rates. But before his announcement, his own regulators filed a legal brief opposing a Colorado law that would do just that. Don’t believe his fake populism for a second. He will always govern for the rich and powerful — not you.
