I hear from people who are surprised I'm still talking about ICE, they thought they'd withdrawn from MN. No, they have not. In some respects they've escalated. Some asked why MN is a target. Are there are there a lot more illegals or criminals here? No, it's not about that. It's about a grudge.

Ok wow we decided to watch the (other) half time show and I honestly wasn’t prepared. And maybe it’s the audio processing disorder but I cannot understand a word these ol’ boys are sangin. The captions just say [singing in english]

No Kings includes Draft Kings

This kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in most American cities.

exactly. this is not difficult. as.ft.com/r/58ed1b23-d...

I’m sharing Aliya’s entire opening statement. We owe it to her, and those who no longer have a voice, to watch. youtu.be/zrcW8SZtYpI?...

Fun new-to-me Black History Month fact that I just learned while listening to public radio: Langston Hughes, the famed poet and activist, was also a composer! WQXR is doing a special tonight on his music www.wqxr.org/story/271251...

Mehmet Oz reduces human life to a balance sheet: start working earlier, retire later, extract more labor, call it health, and magically erase debt. When wellness is framed as productivity and dignity as GDP, people aren’t citizens anymore, they’re inputs.

I may have a stroke. Someone said protests don’t belong in church and it took every ounce of self-censure within me not to say “Deborah you are literally a Protestant.” A PROTESTant. I assume they think Luther was nailing Bed, Bath, & Beyond coupons to the door.

As Republican Senators pitch the idea of having Trump issue executive orders to dial down ICE in exchange for funding DHS, let's all be very clear: AN EXECUTIVE ORDER IS NOT THE LAW. (1/x)

Reporter: You received a letter from AG Pam Bondi making several demands…. Walz: I would just give a pro tip to the AG. There's 2 million documents in the Epstein files we're still waiting on. Go ahead and work on those

So which politician is calling for the dismantling of the probably illegal database that ice & this government is collecting biometric data of protesters?

ICE is a terror organization and must be dismantled, abolished and its members prosecuted. Full stop.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

This said, I certainly didn't realize it at the time, having been wildly pregnant and having that 2nd plane fly over my head, etc.

The 15 richest people in America saw their collective wealth jump nearly $1 trillion during Trump's year back in office. Many of them were standing alongside Trump at his inauguration one year ago today. How are you doing?

Good news... Highly criticized RFK Jr. hep B vax "Tuskegee experiment" in Guinea-Bissau halted/canceled on ethics grounds. "The $1.6M study... drew outrage and criticism over ethical questions abt withholding vaccines proven to prevent hep. B in a country w/ a very high burden of the disease."🛟🧪😷🧭

This is how far you have to scroll on the NYTimes homepage to get any coverage of what's going on day-to-day in an occupied American city where schools are closing because the government is checking the papers of all brown or Asian people then brutalizing, imprisoning or killing them.

published this and was then immediately without internet for 3+ hours to share it so please read 🙏

if you put this in a script even erin brockovitch would be like “too on the nose, dial it back”

Reminder that you’re probably older than the Department of Homeland Security, a post 9–11 entity

Posts may be a bit more sporadic from me today as my kids are home from school because my city is being brutalized by the federal government to the extent that it's unsafe for schools to be open

They're doing this so they can call any government program that isn't ICE or the military "rife with fraud" and thus illegitimate. They are trying to manufacture consent to say any entitlement — from Medicare to social security — must be canceled because of extreme edge cases. Don't fall for it.

10/10. No notes.

Fraud was the excuse: this is the real goal, revealed - reduce safety net funding, but only in blue states.

This guy here is dead 👇

Instead of whatever this is, we should have a government getting lots of new homes and apartments built, lots of clean energy built, lots of high speed rail and transit and bike lanes built, human rights for everyone, economic & healthcare opportunities for all, & innovation that leads the world.

I appreciate this article theconversation.com/i-wrote-a-bo...

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

RIP Dick Cheney, you would have finally found something to like about the Trump presidency (illegally overthrowing a government for oil)

Less than $800 away from 50% of our goal. Sincere thanks to everyone who has donated and shared so far: gogetfunding.com/black-zine-f...

joining the "cybertruck owners only" group on fb is one of the best decisions i've ever made. every so often when i'm scrolling through fb getting pissed off, i get to see a little treat like this

When student loan borrowers are in default, how does the Trump regime respond? By garnishing their wages. When billionaires see their wealth hit record highs, how does the Trump regime respond? By extending their tax cuts. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

One day something will happen — a wedding, a graduation, a job promotion, Jake Paul getting knocked out, Andrew Tate getting knocked out the next day — and you’ll want the right outfit to celebrate. Buy that special outfit now, so you’re ready when that next unexpected moment arrives.

I think this is going to be repeated in a lot of countries. We're going to see years of governments falling over themselves to be hostile to immigration, followed by years of panic at the consequences of hugely reduced migration.

The American public wants to restrain spending on the military and increase taxes on the rich. The President and Congress keep doing the opposite. It’s not exactly “populism” that’s driving this.

The goal of the Trump administration is an ethnic cleansing that is actively being enacted, and that promises to destroy the diversity & freedoms that were ever the strength of this imperfect nation. My latest in @theguardian.com. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

There isn't a single problem "solved" by edtech that couldn't be fixed with smaller classes led by well-paid teachers given real academic freedom

Today’s horror of enshittification comes from my hearing aids no longer connecting to my phone. Keep your liquid fucking glass, a girl really wants to hear.

“I’ve been amazed by the groundswell of grassroots, bipartisan opposition to this....everyone is affected by this, the opposition has been across the political spectrum. A lot of people don’t see the benefits coming from AI and feel they will be paying for it"

well would you look at that. being trans is a protected characteristic and being a bigot is not.

Reminder: This vast consolidation of wealth and power at the top has not been due to neutral market forces. There’s no such thing as a “free market.” It is designed. It either advances public purposes or it serves the monied interests.

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

Not acknowledging World AIDS Day and engaging in COVID revisionism are straight from the eugenics playbook. One of the most effective ways of making people invisible is by erasing their history.

“That sounds illegal”
