WATCH: “This administration can’t be trusted… ‘the work’ is not killing 🇺🇸 citizens… The Democratic position in 2026 is we don’t terrorize 🇺🇸 citizens & undocumented people.” Rep. @justinjpearson.bsky.social doesn’t let Smug Scott Jennings rattle him— as he calls for ICE to be abolished

"The FBI's source...claimed in their testimony that Epstein — a wealth manager — "made his money from charging his clients fees to hide their money offshore." uh, didn't have "PEOPLE has reached out to the Kremlin for comment." on my bingo card. but joke's on me I guess people.com/jeffrey-epst...

"But thank you." Someone call the burn unit to the Olympics big air scrum.

Excellent use of alt text by @burritojustice.bsky.social

be the person who hands out the stuffed animal mascots and the olympics

I just got back from Whistler and overheard *so many* conversations from people all over the world about not going to the US. A Dane said “I was planning to go to Vegas this year but then the Greenland thing happened.” One Aussie said to another “I don’t want to wind up in an ICE concentration camp”

Think of how bad things must be for a Supreme Court Justice to feel he has to explain why it's a good idea to have laws enacted by legislators instead of decreed by wannabe dictators

Absolutely insane story about a middle-aged woman from Hertfordshire who got arrested, shackled, and detained by ICE and held in a prison for eight weeks.... while on holiday... with a valid tourist visa... as she tried to leave the country.

What $70 million in taxpayer money buys: a private luxury jet for Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski to jet-set around on. And we’re supposed to believe it’s used for deporting undocumented immigrants.

ICE must be eliminated.

Remarkable and, I daresay, moving.

amazing. #Hockey #IceHockey #Olympics #Art I bet #AlysaLiu would like this!

Behold: the first-ever list of news outlets that have banned generative AI in their reporting. As of today, this is literally information that you cannot find on Google. My goal is to fill the starter pack, so please send over suggestions with supporting evidence! go.bsky.app/8cn1XfT

Not joking even a little bit.

If you find yourself on the east side of the southern Sierra, near Bishop, it is *very* much worth your time to visit Manzanar. Cannot recommend too strongly.

Alysa Liu, daughter of a Chinese refugee and pro-democracy activist, brings glory to the USA. 🇺🇸 🥇

How many future Olympians are we preventing by detaining and deporting their parents/grandparents? My dad was the son of immigrants and he created a new type of chemistry and trained future company presidents and university presidents. #Immigrants make the U.S. stronger in all ways.

Pretty cool that Alysa Liu skated to some kind of parody of Weird Al’s “Jurassic Park”

Alysa Liu = Joy. I cancelled cable, so I’m grateful to have seen this post with the link to her skate! #Olympics #Iceskating

A. Alysa Liu is the people's princess. B. Has anyone ever been happier about third place than Ami Nakai? I think that she was genuinely thrilled specifically to not beat her mentor Kaori Sakamoto.

There’s a seven year old boy hospitalized in Greenville, South Carolina with measles encephalitis. He can’t walk or talk or feed himself. This didn’t have to happen. Please vaccinate.

ALS is a terrible disease. An awful way to die. I hope the outpouring of love & admiration for #EricDane converts to advocacy for funding scientific research in the US. 90% of medical research was funded by the US government before this administration set us back decades. #NIH #ALS

If you’d told me in 1991 when I was writing for a univ newspaper that 1) I’d be reading @rollingstone.com, TeenVogue & People magazine for health news and news and 2) NYTimes would piss me off and WashingtonPost was destroyed, I’d have laughed. #Journalism #JournalismMatters #BoycottAmazon #EricDane

Eric Dane has passed away at 53 after a short battle with ALS He will be remembered by many as McSteamy on Grey’s Anatomy, but he should also be remembered for his disability advocacy He worked tirelessly to raise awareness for ALS, including how hard it is to get a diagnosis.

Need a graffiti artist to go out a little, short mustache on him with a fat Sharpie.

Hmm, #EpsteinFiles or Alien Files? Which would you find more interesting?

Lucinda Williams has been making music for decades. With her new album, she's speaking and singing to this moment. https://to.pbs.org/4kNXyLd

this is fun but i actually don't think michael tracey is being paid by a mysterious sex creep to slander epstein's victims, i genuinely think he's doing it for the love of the game

Epstein Class The people who break the law Believe they are above us all Destroying America along the way Nothing has become more affordable! #TrumpAffordabilityChaos

I have asked ICE and DHS why this migrant was hooded and partially straitjacketed today. Will let you know if I hear back. In the past migrants have testified that they were put in the WRAP device for “infractions” as small as asking to speak to one’s attorney.

alysa liu skates like she’s the main character at the end of a rom-com who realizes her true love is herself and her art she’s skating alone *for* herself on cloud nine #MilanoCortina2026 #WinterOlympics

“I feel so much sadness and depression of not being able to leave, its really sad to hear that peoples cases are being denied and getting send back to their countrys.” -14 year-old imprisoned for 20 days in Texas concentration camp

“I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.” - 7 year old imprisoned by ICE for 70 days in a concentration camp in Texas. Today, after @propublica.org published this story, the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children. www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

Your morning coffee is under threat ☕️ A fungus that kills coffee plants can “borrow” genes to adapt and strike again, although it’s currently at manageable infection levels in most coffee-growing regions. buff.ly/2VhmET0

More than 20K peanut butter products recalled after plastic found in a filter

US mining company Alcoa hit with ‘unprecedented’ $55m penalty for illegal clearing of WA jarrah forests

Criticize ICE online? DHS may try to identify you. Hundreds of subpoenas sent to major tech platforms(Google, Reddit, Discord & Meta, which owns FB & Instagram) for user data behind anonymous accounts. ACLU warns dissent itself is being targeted. #BlueSky #MedSky #LawSky #PoliSky

The general public should get a chance to see the last half of Amber’s program the way it was meant to be seen. The energy and exuberance are next level, it makes you want to smile. Amber is SO GOOD when she’s on! #MilanoCortina2026 #figureskating

okay i'm furious at this framing. 1) ALYSA IS IN MEDAL POSITION, 2) isabeau was clean and scored over 70, 3) AMBER BECAME THE SECOND US WOMAN TO EVER LAND A CLEAN TRIPLE AXEL AT THE OLYMPICS. faltered my ass, this is WHY people feel so much pressure that they fall apart #MilanoCortina2026

He is beauty. He is grace. He is allegedly getting a buttload of media requests. It’s the Pebbling Dude, the Michael Jackson of Misting, the head ice technician for curling, Moonwalking Mark Callan.

Gonna make an Olympics vignettes thread. Another fav bit was NBC Sports talking about Jordan Stoltz's (truly bonkers) leg workouts, and cutting to a clip of him doing boxjumps in the basement, but the box was a deer freezer

Wonderful, touching, a heartwarming feel-good moment at the Olympics. Such perseverance and grit for Elana to continue to compete and finally achieve her goals.

fun Olympics fact: skeleton athletes evolved to have these helmets over millions of years to fool potential predators

Is the Olympics mostly curling all the time for everyone or am I, a Saint Paul resident, being micro-pandered?

Sled dog champion Jørgen Kristensen, 62, says it’s the first time he can remember when there has been no snow in January.

There’s going to be Covid style shortages of cars, TVs and even washing machines and fridges, then job losses because assembly lines can’t source solid state memory, just so the stupidest person you know can state with 100% confidence a chatbot confirmed dinosaurs coexisted with humans.
