CDC messaging that hantavirus transmission “requires prolonged close contact” is contradicted by what’s really happening? What a surprise. Just keep washing your hands, kids. I’m sure we’ll all be fine.

Minnesota Lynx began their first game of the #WNBA season with a moment of silence for Alex Pretti and Renee Good. I love women’s basketball so much. #FuckICE

These two together in one place! My heart. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ #WNBA #NYLiberty

More children being hospitalized with severe asthma because we refuse to take any measures, (even the easiest) to reduce transmission of COVID.

Happy #MayDay from rainy Rochester, NY

Odd, how a lone gunman failed to even enter a targeted room and no one was harmed—and Republicans go HYSTERICAL over the “tone” of Democrats. And yet heavily armed and masked fascists murdered two people at point-blank range in the streets of Minneapolis—and not a peep about the “tone” of the right.

At the Free Dolores event today, I found myself tearing up from some combination of grief for the pain ICE is inflicting on immigrants like Dolores Bustamente, and the relief of being among compassionate people who know this is wrong and are trying to stop it. #abolishICE #NY4ALL #ROC

Maybe conservative Christians force posting of the 10 commandments so they can use the “shalt nots” as a handy to-do list. Starting with “thou shalt have no other gods before me”

This👇. If you want to know what life is like inside Trump’s ICE concentration camps, please listen to this brief account.

If someone with an arsenal of bombs and guns made a credible threat to commit mass murder, and they were obviously mentally ill, then they'd be involuntarily committed to a mental institution. Forget impeachment. Apprehend him for his own safety and that of others.

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

No love lost for Noem and Bondi, but it’s very on brand for Trump that in an administration full of incompetents, evil doers, and grifters, only women have been fired. Feels like he’s getting the nasty girl cooties out of the clubhouse.

Chilly #NoKings in Rochester, NY.

Two of the journalists assassinated in South Lebanon this morning by Israel were Lebanese correspondents Ali Shoeib and Fatima Ftouni. They become the 252nd and 253rd journalists killed by Israel in the last two years. Unprecedented. (📸 Cradle Media)

Inconsiderate of #NCAAW to schedule Sweet 16 games at the same time as the #NoKings demo in my city. Guess I’ll be checking my phone during the speeches (which are usually too long, anyway). #WCBB #AbolishICE

Hate the way announcers just gave up on calling the UNC UConn game once UConn took the lead & are just talking over the game, blah blah blah. These players deserve to be named—who’s checking in, out, who missed a layup, made a three? Tell us. #NCAAW #WCBB

While watching Syracuse and coach Jack gamely doing what they can against UConn, I’m enjoying the band playing Bad Bunny tunes. #ncaaw #wcbb #marchmadness

He wasn't just an asylum seeker. Paktyawal was an Afghan special forces soldier who worked with the U.S. Army's 3rd Special Forces Group. He was evacuated on August 30, 2021, entered the U.S. legally and had a pending case with a work permit and social security number. Killed by ICE maggots.

I’m old enough to remember when Americans were shocked by the image of a Vietnamese girl whose flesh was seared by US dropped napalm. War is not a game. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Pete Hegseth is a war criminal and boasts about it. Come on, Congress - do something!

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

Was surprised by small crowd for USA v Senegal in PR. Sure, there wasn’t much doubt of the outcome, but if I were in San Juan, I’d jump at the chance to see so many stars of the WNBA playing together. #FIBAWWC

if only we were as upset about schoolgirls being slaughtered our name as we are about the price of gas

Good work, Rochesterians. #ROC

"I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just."--Thomas Jefferson

From now on, we call it "hockey" and "men's hockey."

Turns out “They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists…” was Trump introducing his own administration.

“So how long are you going to wear a mask?” “I don’t know, how long are you and everyone else going to ignore how constant Covid infections are damaging our bodies and killing us slowly before you demand govt invest in clean air everywhere, paid sick days to curb spread, and a universal vaccine?”

A well fitted N95 mask offers excellent protection against Covid. When people lose their sense of smell or taste … it’s because the virus is damaging the brain. We’ve seen a drop in IQ with each covid infection. An increase in vascular disease. Long COVID may trigger Alzheimer’s. Mask up!

It can stop snowing now. WE DO NOT NEED ANY MORE SNOW IN ROCHESTER. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Fox just abandoned the exciting close UCLA Michigan game with 13 seconds to go? maybe it was just my local station? WTF #NCAAW #NCAAWBB

Can you tell I'm angry. I am so angry. Epstein victims have been speaking to law enforcement for 30 years, and the only person in prison for the rape, torture, and victimization of children for 30 years is a woman. DOJ failed for 30 years.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

This isn’t some anonymous tip. This is sworn testimony, under penalty of perjury, from someone who said Trump threatened to kill her if she exposed Epstein’s sexual abuse.

In the first draft I had Homan speaking these words, but at the moment Bovino was the more visible face of the occupation so I swapped him out

Terrifying. Trump's secret police Proud Boys, armed with the most lethal and sophisticated equipment of war that our tax dollars can buy, hunting civilians in an American city. (gift link - no paywall) www.nytimes.com/2026/01/28/u...

my expectation of democratic senators is that they find 1/10th of the bravery of your average 70 year old lutheran lady following ICE around mpls in her subaru crosstrek

ICE detain yet another minor child—chase him down his own street and tackle him to pavement. "I am legal! I am legal!" he cries over and over in Spanish. Agent pins the boy down in snow—he desperately tries to keep his exposed hands from freezing at -25°F wind chill temperature. Minneapolis, MN

As 2nd plane crashes into World Trade Center, Chuck Schumer stands up in the rotunda, eyes blazing. “Al Quadra needs *much* better flight training!” he shouts. “And the American people demand cheaper ticket prices!” The applause is thunderous.

Don't bother arguing about whether ICE is a police force or a military force. It's neither. It behaves as a disorganized, violent mob, cursing, shouting contradictory orders, and attacking unarmed citizens on a whim. It is deployed to create fear and chaos, not to enforce laws or establish order.

God bless AOC. Why can’t I have a Congressperson who speaks the truth and connects the dots like this?

Public health officials (in Durham NC)spitting facts, forcefully, clearly, and with a sense of humor, about preventing disease transmission. How come our health dept here in Monroe County (NY) can't/won't do this?
