“Representative Lauren Boebert of Colorado shared a photograph of Hilary Clinton answering questions, which was posted on social media by Benny Johnson, a right-wing podcaster.” The depths of depravity with which the current GOP conducts themselves is shocking even when the bar is so low! #Epstein

“The sundaes are on standby.” Oakland’s Fentons Creamery said Liu will enjoy ice cream for life. What I love is that Alysa Lui, the #Olympic gold medalist who showed us what self love and joy looks like, is so broadly BELOVED that she got shout outs from the Oakland mayor, NFL stars, BART, SF Muni…🫶🏼

These are “low enrollment” majors but the classes are regularly at capacity. They changed the funding structure a few years ago here, switching the allocation from course enrollments to majors then blamed these departments for a structural, top-down change. This is entirely a political choice.

The U.S. women's hockey gold medal-winning team has politely declined an invitation from President Donald Trump to attend his State of the Union address on Tuesday.

We watched a lot of the Olympics and last night one of my 8yo sons asked, mom, what’s a national anthem? When I explained and said ours is called ‘the star spangled banner,’ he said, WHAT DOES SPANGLED mean? Never in all the years of my life have I thought about this!! Kids keep you humble!

BREAKING Former ICE agent: On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant.

I urge you to stop what you're doing and watch Alysa Liu's free skate from yesterday. I have never seen anything like this. I understand why sports writers are born now. I have never seen anyone as free from the burdens of this world as this pierced Oakland girl spinning to Donna Summers.

When you think back to Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing though it’s really not surprising, he showed us exactly who he is - entitled, unearned legacy Yale frat boy, misogynistic - and men who sexually abuse women (and girls) clearly have made a pact

You can’t have facism without capitalism Roberts’ #SCOTUS on #Tarrifs

Prayers up for the Bay Area community and all those impacted by this tragedy - deadliest avalanche in recent CA history. As a woman and mom, something I’ve always LOVED about living here is the elite women adventurers in my network. I don’t know anyone personally, but dear friends of mine do 💔🤍🙏🏼

Here @forbes.com, some accurate headlines about the GOAT and good human #MikaelaShiffrin: She stands alone as the only American in Alpine skiiing history to hold 3 Olympic gold medals She has the most World Cup wins of any alpine skier in history She is an 8-time World Championship gold medalist

I’m up late after teaching and Mikaela Shiffrin just had a first great run in the slalom but it’s LIVE in Milan and I just can’t stay up for all these skiers. Now I’m just supposed to go to sleep? It’s her last shot this #Olympics, really hope she gets gold!🏅🤩🤞🏼

YES! And as a science education prof, data is POWER and that is why they are trying to erase evidence and not collect data (Gallop stops presidential approval rating polls) - stay vigilant and informed, we're intelligent - there are WAY MORE OF US THAN THERE ARE OF THEM! Fight like hell 💪🫶

On #PresidentsDay, I’m reminded of seeing the legend Angela Davis in SF on Dec 15, 2025. She spoke of GENERATING hope together, and on if she’d ever thought about entering politics she said: ‘Think about it, revolutionary change never comes from elected officials, it comes from THE PEOPLE!’ #NoKings

No one does joy as a radical form of resistance and reimagining like Mayor Mamdani!

🔥 “To me, when we're talking about what justice looks like, it's ultimately getting to a place where every single fascist agent and the leaders that directed them to do what they did are held accountable to the highest degree of the law. And that means prosecution.”

It’s this right here. Russel Vought, plus Elon Musk, Stephen Miller are unelected monsters that have done incredible damage to science, our democracy, reputation, and vulnerable humans in the world. Impeach trump, and prosecute them. They should see no light of day for the rest of their evil days.

CARTOON OF THE DAY 😕 (From @andertoon.bsky.social )

In class tonight a student asked if I’d watched the turning point kid rock half-time gig (lol no) and then said not only was he lip synching, it was asynchronous - lip asynching - is what she called it and that’s the petty humor I need right now

Pam Bondi Thought That Went Pretty Well

THIS IS INSANE THIS IS INSANE THIS IS INSANE THIS IS INSANE THE CLIMATE CRISIS IMPACTS ALL OF US (but much more so low-income and communities of color)

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

I can’t stop laughing about “and from New Jersey”

"Mr. Wexner gave Mr. Epstein virtually unfettered authority over his fortune....Mr. Epstein amassed hundreds of millions of dollars, as well as a private plane, a palatial townhouse and a luxury estate in Ohio — all previously owned by Mr. Wexner or his companies." Why would anyone DO THAT?!!!

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

This whole🧵!! Read it to learn the rich history and the meaning of so many cultural details in Bad Bunny’s brilliant, joyful, groundbreaking performance last night!! 💪🏼🔥🫶🏼

Ocasio gang rise up 🙌🏽🇵🇷

Happy Bad Bunny Super Bowl concert day (with also some football) to all who celebrate!! Absolutely brilliant, joyful, and beautiful! 💪🏼🔥🫶🏼🇵🇷

I wondered what Bad Bunny would do with the Super Bowl stage, on the heels of the ICE OUT Grammys. Tonight he repeated “the only thing more powerful than hate is love,” adding “together we are America” and he showed us, with a stunning ode to Puerto Rican/Latin American culture. Bold & beautiful!🔥💪🏼

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

again we do not really do a good job of explaining how wealthy people like Jeff Bezos are his net worth is $253.2 billion. so he could take one million dollars, and just light it on fire and then do it again tomorrow and again the day after that and then do it every day for 693 years and 8 months

This interview! How the principal and teachers at Liam Ramos’s elementary school are navigating the ICE invasion. I love the community-based practices they use, adapted by age group. Teachers do so much to create safety and community for students! Shout out to Leila Fadel @npr.org 🫶🏼

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?...

I revisit this interview all the time about the 2016 campaign and how bannon and trump tapped into grievances of white men who could no longer sexually abuse and harass women in the work place - couldn’t just be themselves anymore - and radicalized them to create exactly what maga is today!

It’s wild when it’s the HEAD OF NIH too that’s doing the science dancing. I do think he felt like he lost that bit though, his face afterwards to me says so

holy shit

This is so well written and interesting that I stopped what I was doing and read it in its entirety. Such a thought provoking piece on the role and power of humor and “laughtivism” as we fight for democracy in these dangerous and profoundly weird times. Thank you! 💪🏼🫶🏼

Yesterday was AMAZING! 🚴‍♀️ An estimated 100k cyclists from 200 cities road a Memorial Bike Ride to honor Alex Pretti. Why? Because Alex was an avid cyclist. 🥹 I'll admit this had my tear ducts gushing for a full 5 minutes. Fascists vs Cyclists. 🚴‍♀️ Here's a montage of my fav clips - Part 1 👇🏼🧵

There are also hundreds of other children and families still there - fight like hell until they’re all free!

Shout out to @propublica.org for releasing the names of the agents who murdered Alex Pretti and for this powerful statement from the editors. The fact that the agents were Latino; racial hierarchy is a real MFer, ppl kill for proximity to whiteness, abolishing white supremacy is the only way to RISE
