No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The racism on view in that video Trump posted (and has now taken down, having bent the knee to woke cancel culture) is relevant because it's the same racism that is animating the anti-Somali federal occupation of Minneapolis and will animate the surge of anti-Haitian feds into Springfield, OH.

We've normalized it all. We normalized kiddie rape with the Epstein Files. No one is being punished. We're normalizing the Gestapo and concentration camps. We talk about bodycams for murderers and less money for kid prisons. We re-elected the guy who did J6. 2009 is happening with crypto now.

so crazy to me that a woman asked trump if he has any words for epstein's victims and he said "you as a young woman should smile more." it will go nowhere bc republicans refuse to hold trump accountable, but it's still pretty crazy.

Check out these mentions. Yet it’s Bill Clinton, whose name is mentioned 50 to 70 times in the Epstein files, that Republicans are demanding testimony from.

This is an authoritarian power grab, full stop. Nationalizing elections would put the executive branch in control of who votes and how. That’s how dictators rig outcomes, crush opposition, and assault democratic self-government. This should alarm everyone: www.ms.now/news/trump-s...

My actual job description is activist and here’s what I tell people in despair all the time: do not underestimate how much harm you can prevent by being just a little bit annoying.

Wow! What sounded like the entire AEW Dynamite audience in Las Vegas tonight chanted "Fuck ICE! Fuck ICE!" in unison before the main event

This is brilliant. I'm so grateful for this testimony. I've transcribed it to use in letters I'm writing. Sharing the full transcription here (see alt text to copy/paste it):

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

What the actual fuck. He could be helping people, he is in a position of power. Instead he's creeping around daycares looking for little children??

Westboro Baptist Church tried to make an Anti-Luigi Mangione poster but it just looks like Luigi is threatening billionaires and goes unironically hard af

🧊 "We're going to get an ICE detention facility before we get a grocery store!"

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

The main 8 lane road near me that was already a presentation nightmare has dozens of bus stops and NONE of the sidewalks are clear. Your choice is walk in the road or in a foot of snow in 5 degree weather. We really can't afford to pay some guys to plow the major sidewalks? It's pathetic

Unbelievable

Commentary: If Ohio has trends like the rest of the country, loss of immigrants will cause Ohio’s population to drop more quickly than previously expected among a segment of the population that is younger, more entrepreneurial, and more likely to fill jobs than the population as a whole.

Hey Columbus, Call To Action this Saturday, Feb. 7 👇🏼

Billionaire LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman has publicly disclosed a number of meetings with convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein that he says he initially forgot about.

France’s Foreign Ministry owns Elon Musk in this response:

One by one, Europeans mentioned in the Epstein files who still hold political office are beginning to resign or are being forced out of office. Meanwhile, ruled by an administration almost entirely made up of Epstein associates, the US carries on as if nothing really happened.

What's that you say! It was all just fear pushing by bad faith groups and that trans women pose no threat to cisgender women. www.independent.co.uk/news/science...

Marimar Martinez, shot 5 times by Border Patrol in Chicago, speaks out after Renee Good, Alex Pretti deaths 'I am their voice' NEW w/ @adrianacardmag.bsky.social: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Ive watched this about 100 times. This is why the internet was invented. Right here. Peak content.

Casar holds a 3 minute and 26 second moment of silence to represent the time in which DHS officers let Renee Good bleed out after she was shot

RENEE GOOD’S BROTHERS: “Renee believed kindness mattered, and she lived that belief — even when things were hard… She looked for the light, and if she couldn’t find it she became the light for somebody else.”

explain to me, very slowly, like the dimwitted child you must think I am, how body cameras or ICE cooperating with cops would have prevented any of the many, many, many law enforcement murders committed by both ICE and cops over the years which were already thoroughly documented on video

I say this as a victim and as a lawyer and as a journalist and as a woman in public, no one, literally no one in power, cares about victims of sexual violence. This is why they promise women more police and prisons (allegedly to help them) while fancy men who are friends with Epstein go free.

Reminder that "jaywalking" was literally made up by american car manufacturers to shift the blame for accidents from drivers to pedestrians. "Jay" was a slang term meaning "idiot" or "rube".

It's unthinkable to send 1000 ICE thugs to Springfield, OH. The Haitians invited there deserve to live with dignity. This needs to be extended indefinitely or they need to provide a road to citizenship with a reasonable timeframe for these people.

The Department of Education gutted its civil rights staff—only to spend tens of millions recalling them.

Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

At the same time the Epstein Files are reinforcing how protected sexual abusers really are, Neil Gaiman is using the nightmarish sexual violence allegations against him to market his next book. His DARVO defense is the first selling point. Rape culture is everywhere and unavoidable.

*raises hand timidly* Um...hi. I'm Puerto Rican, and I care? So do my Puerto Rican parents and sister? It's trivially easy to dismiss that sort of thing when "being American" isn't something they're trying to take away from you, with profound consequences. And, we do *want* our citizenship.

Bet all those universities that surrendered quickly really love their decision now

Simply couldn’t imagine being enough of a loser to go to the official “wasn’t slavery neat?” dinner

Springfield (eating the dogs / cats) Ohio desperately needs your help with ICE. Ohio Gov Mike DeWine said it will be “the next Minneapolis” as 15,000 Haitians (1/4th of the entire city) will have their TPS status prematurely revoked Weds Feb 4th. Here are links to donate and volunteer directly: 1/

Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced a new leader on Saturday to run New York City’s Department of Correction. Stanley Richards, who most recently served as the chief executive of a prisoner advocacy nonprofit, will be the first formerly incarcerated person to lead the department.

Paging William of Ockham…

A judge ordered that 5 year old Liam Ramos be released from ICE custody. I hope they let him out. I hope they give him his back pack and bunny hat. But let’s not forget they sent a 5 year old girl to Honduras without due process. She’s a US citizen and they disappeared her.

ICE wants to detain anyone with a whistle. The whistles are a non violent way to protect vulnerable members of the community. You know who else carries whistles? Children. Victims of assault. Women trying to avoid being raped. But sure. Let’s go after whistles.

Hey Central Ohio: Two vigil’s TODAY for Alex Pretti. Please share. 👇🏼💪🇺🇸

A Minneapolis knitting shop has resurrected the design of a Norwegian cap worn to protest Nazi occupation. Its owner says the money raised from hat pattern sales will support the local immigrant community. n.pr/4thWiUr

THEY DID IT. EVERY SENATE DEMOCRAT just voted on an amendment to DEFUND ICE (rescind the BBB slush fund that keeps ICE open during a shutdown.) This amendment failed, but it shows broad support! KEEP CALLING and make it a demand to vote for the DHS funding bill!!
