We're less than a decade away from cures for many forms of cancer. It's so hard to see so many people die from that damnable disease.

easy slogan for the next democratic presidential candidate is “i will reform the corrupt supreme court and repeal citizens united”

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

If my followers have been inspired by the fierce resistance the Twin Cities has put up to ICE, you should make it a point to take a trip here (April through October 😬), enjoy the wonderful things MN has to offer and support our small businesses. It continues to be a really tough time for them.

Posted this yesterday. And I cried hard when I saw the WHO update. (Hadn't checked in a while.) I don't think many realize how fortunate we are to be alive now and not anytime before 1900, where for hundreds of thousands of years, saying goodbye to your babies was just... part of being human.

Meow?

Republicans are still trying to pass the SAVE Act—a bill that would make it harder to vote and disenfranchise millions of Americans. Join @redistrictingaction.org and tell your member of Congress to vote no: act.redistrictingaction.org/a/natl-saveact-cte

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones. Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

The is a good place. And it should not be under occupation from our own government.

Call your Senators and tell them to vote NO!!!

i feel like this guy is my spiritual sibling

this is a level of complicity that had not occurred to me

The Atlantic’s profile of Bondi has some wow. @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

Minnesota still needs your attention

That the NYT still writes this stuff when everyone knows that Musk is full of horseshit (including the reporters at the NYT!) is honestly shocking at this point. They think you're stupid. They know he never does anything he promises but they write it anyway. Utter trash.

Jayapal: To the survivors in the room, if you are willing, please stand. And if you are willing, please raise your hands. If you have still not been able to meet with this DOJ. Please note for the record that every single survivor has raised their hand.

Please note that she's READING this. She PREPARED this as a rebuttal for questions about Epstein. She planned this, had someone write it down, and read it.

Charge them.

You deserve access to abortion care if you are pregnant and do not want to be. Full stop. Your reasons are your reasons and they are good enough. Abortion is healthcare and everyone deserves healthcare access.

having your city noticed by the president is now a natural disaster on par with a hurricane or major flood

Great piece by @jamellebouie.net on the need for ICE hearings. Get it all out there. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/11/o...

FAA shuts down El Paso Airport because of security concerns about testing of a secret DoD anti-drone device, apparently because they failed to communicate with DoD. A perfect demonstration of how Hegseth and Sean Duffy work together.

We’ve all had days where we’ve woken up, forgotten to brush our teeth, and closed all El Paso airspace for an hour instead.

What did this cost? * The people who planned to fly today * The airlines * The civil authorities trying to figure it out * FAA staff * Everyone's cortisol levels.

Just stopped reading a blogpost after the author admits (*openly admits*) that they didn’t have time to read the text they’re commenting on and so got an AI to summarise it. Do people not feel shame about such admissions? Do they not want to crawl under a rock and be swallowed by the earth?

in fact you do not have to show your ID when you board a train in the united states, you only need to show your ticket (which can be purchased without an ID)

Absolutely horrifying. (And incredibly important reporting from The Daily Texan, the student newspaper at the University of Texas at Austin.)

I understand I was really disruptive today but in my defense I’m literally a silly little guy

Wednesday.

"documents found at the local record office showed sign language was used in a marriage ceremony at St Martin's Church on 6 February 1576. According to the transcript of the wedding certificate, Thomas Tilsye was deaf and married his wife Ursula Russel with signing assistance"

If you have any information about this whatsoever, I’m marisakabas.04 on Signal

😂

Call your Congresspeople and demand they stop finding ICE and Border Patrol's domestic terrorism!

Sadly, this is why Democratic leaders needed to act when the iron was hot — to lead, get out on the streets, and mobilize public opinion. It may now be that their moment has passed and the public has moved on. If so, what a shame; what a lost opportunity.

My sense of Minnesota today is that there’s less tear gas and the same amount of unlawful detention, destruction of families, loss of livelihood, people in hiding. There is less tear gas at places like Lake and Lyndale, so it’s not making news.

That El Paso airport closure includes cargo flights. Since El Paso is a haul by road from most places of any size, I wonder if this will affect the availability of commodities in the area...

If he can’t answer the question then get him off the screen and get your aviation experts on who can explain what NOTAMS are, how unprecedented it is to shutdown airspace in this manner & why it’s a major upheaval to the National Airspace System. And ask the FAA where Bryan Bedford is.

"So, what better distraction than to rally his base with military operations that violate Mexican sovereignty? The El Paso story is still developing, but I believe that’s where this is going. I believe that’s the play Trump is making."

The El Paso airport borders Mexico-which Trump previously threatened to invade-and is used by ICE to run deportation flights The airport is now closed, with the area designated as “national defense airspace” Are we going to attack Mexico Will we see mass deportation flights This is very ominous

This is El Paso, where the airspace has been shut down without explanation for ten days btw

I used to live in El Paso (which gives me zero insight into this) but I want to make a basic point because most US Americans have never been there: this is a large city of almost 700,000 people. It’s in the top 25 for the country. More than twice Pittsburgh and more than Milwaukee, for example

in a text string after the shooting, a fellow agent told Exum he's a "legend" "Beers on me"

This is such a wild thing to say to someone who just shot an unarmed person bsky.app/profile/jmet...

This is a terribly worded headline that obliquely implies on first read that the video was illegal, not (as is actually true) that it reminded soldiers that they are constitutionally obligated to refuse to follow illegal orders.

Consistent with Project 2025, the Trump administration has managed to capture, commandeer, or corrupt every important social institution -- every important social institution except juries, that is. Project 2025 didn't have a plan for juries.

My child: "Don't turn out the lights, Mommy! It's too scary because there are monsters!" Also my child: Keeps a flickering fanged monster lantern at the head of his bed. 🤷‍♀️

I think if you are able and willing to burn a couple hundred thousand dollars fighting new townhome construction in your hoity toity little village we should be using the state to take more of your money and spend it building public housing on your front yard

You are allowed to say, "this performance was not to my personal taste, a thing that sometimes happens in a free society," and move on with your life.
