Congrats to BART rider and Oakland legend Alysa Liu on winning a gold medal at the Olympics and making the Bay Area proud!

If the motherfucking KING OF ENGLAND is willing to have his own brother arrested because he's a pedo, whomever is running in the midterms and in 2028 needs to bring fire and brimstone for EVERYONE in the files. Charles himself realizes how important this is! This is not an extreme position!

She never lived to see this moment, but it’s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre. She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrew’s. Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.

Of all the things we are doing in MN, this one is just beyond. Imagine being released from hell alone in the cold. And a total stranger has waited all night with a blanket just to be ready to hug you and carry you home. Every job we do is crucial, but this one is what restores humanity and dignity.

🧵 A lot of people are saying the DOGE Medicaid data release is a HIPAA violation. It isn't. It doesn't contain individual patient records. But what it actually is, and what it's actually being used for, is worse. New post ⤵️

Normalize laughing derisively in men's faces when they deserve it.

This is the kind of thing white supremacists have been doing to Emmett Till’s memorial for decades. It’s wild to see them do this to a white woman who the entire world saw extrajudicially murdered.

i think jesse jackson was one of the most important american political figures of the post-war era and i think that his 1984 and 1988 campaigns for the democratic nomination still have a great deal to teach about forging a path to a more egalitarian world. RIP.

Jesus Christ these people are monsters.

I think it’s time for Democratic leaders to start saying “if you’re a pilot or ground crew involved in a deportation that was stayed by a judge, you’ll be held criminally liable for human trafficking.” Everyone involved in these flights should have that fear in the back of their minds.

Rev. Jesse Jackson's "I *am* somebody..." remains one of the all-time great pieces of 20th century rhetoric / agitprop And he could deliver it at a Black separatist meeting, the Democratic National Convention, or on god-blessed Sesame Street (see below 🥹) RIP to the Voice of the Voiceless

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

I know this makes me an extremist but I think our baby concentration camps should be abolished.

In cartoon news, Tubi just revealed practically the entirety of the classic Warner Bros/Hanna-Barbera/Cartoon Network library is coming to the platform this March. For those who don't wanna visit the bird site, here's the full list of what's coming.

Republicans handled the IRS surge from Biden by clawing it back to a nub. Democrats can do the same thing with immigration enforcement, and by Republicans' own admission it wouldn't threaten public safety. prospect.org/2026/02/16/i...

The bravery of the Minnesota Robe Lady

I'd rather live in a neighborhood where I can hear 5 different languages when I walk the dog than where I hear Fox news blaring from 5 different houses.

A giant loss: Robert Duvall is gone. An extraordinary artist who was fluent in every dialect of film acting, from ice-cold underplayer (The Godfather) to expert naturalist (Tender Mercies, The Apostle) to balls-to-the-wall maniac (Apocalypse Now). One of our all-timers. Plunge into that filmography.

A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.   This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.   Not one dime for this cruelty. www.cbsnews.com/amp/chicago/...

A Washington judge ordered the man released from the Tacoma ICE facility after he developed a bone infection, ulcerative colitis and anemia.

I am so goddamn proud of her.

“She’s not from here.”

Rep. Angie Craig: "The attacks on Black and brown people in Minnesota have been egregious. At the end of the day, what they wanted out of Minnesota was for us to riot. I think this will go down in American history as one of the greatest examples of peaceful resistance from an entire community."

"In at least 4,421 cases, more than 400 federal judges ruled since the beginning of October that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is holding people illegally as it carries out its mass-deportation campaign." www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

man ... lying under oath really ought to be a crime, you know?

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

straight out of those Civil War histories where some ill informed white Union soldier got a view of slavery up close and became hyper abolitionist in an instant

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

Great news. Note how the party that sued here was not the University of California but its faculty and staff unions.

Cartoon: If anyone in Chicago knows this school or an anti ICE organization affiliated with them I would be happy to donate this art. I only wish I could have fully Sal Buscema-ed that punch :)

KMBC: "A woman tried to set a fire at a South Kansas City warehouse that had been rumored as a possible ICE detention center. Earlier today, the company that owns the property confirmed it is no longer moving forward with a sale to the U.S. government."

Anyone currently involved in federal immigration enforcement, every officer, every bureaucrat, every lawyer, every judge, is a member of the most evil group of people this country has seen since Reconstruction. Darkness personified, every one. Doing this to children is beyond depraved.

I need folks to understand this. The idea that local police forces will intervene at scale against ICE is a utopian fantasy totally disconnected from how policing has always worked

From a statement released today by the ICE Out of Minnesota Coalition.

Why did the FAA just close the airspace over El Paso for the next several days?

This seems...bad

if you remember the FBI + ICE + local raid on a horse race track in Wilder, Idaho that detained hundreds of families (including many kids & U.S. citizens) the @acluidaho.bsky.social just announced a lawsuit. The complaint is just as disturbing as previous reporting www.aclu.org/press-releas...

ICE officials under a judge’s order to clean up squalid conditions on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza detained migrants on a secret floor where they decided that ruling didn’t apply, attorneys for the Trump administration said Monday. www.thecity.nyc/2026/02/09/2...

In Boston ICE randomly pulled over this huge white Irish guy with a Mass drivers license, 20 years in the states, legal status, pending green card and have held him for 5 months, his citizen wife paid a $4k bond that was ignored(!) ICE forged his signature on deportation agreement, no appeal

JOHN BROWN POWER ARMOR LET’S FUCKIN GO

Anarchism is definitely having a moment in Minnesota. The anarchy is real, productive, and amazing here these days.

this is so funny, god bless louise lucas, Hero of the Commonwealth

NEW: Insurrectionist pardoned by Trump has been arrested for child sex crimes. www.texastribune.org/2025/02/06/a...

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

Exactly! Don’t worry about why I’m mad, why aren't you?

Looks like they are turning their attention more to NPS sites in general. The Evers site is an important inclusion into the Service and the person who shot Medgar was a racist and an asshole. mississippitoday.org/2026/02/05/m... 🗃️

Every American needs to watch this:

This is an underdiscussed issue in left spaces where it is unfortunately still socially acceptable to discriminate against sex workers. Rather than being treated with respect & nuance they are made a prop by terf groups & Christian rescue orgs, it's maddening. Decriminalization now. Support SWers

Brad Karp, the chairman of the Paul Weiss law firm who brokered that deal with Trump last year & agreed to provide $40 million of pro bono services for Trump's causes, resigns due to fallout over his emails with Epstein: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/b...
