may this define her for the rest of her life. she was willing to stoop this low and still got fired. girl, bye.

Excellent article about how sociology threatens fascistic, fear-based “us vs them” thinking

This Day in Labor History: April 1, 1576. A report was published on another disease epidemic ripping through indigenous people in Mexico and undermining the Spanish forced labor force it relied on for colonization. Let's talk about how epidemics transformed indigenous labor in colonial Mexico!

You really should: 1) read this article (gift link) 2) read the text of the 25th Amendment 3) bang your head against a hard surface for at least 20 minutes www.wsj.com/world/middle...

I mean there it is.

Transparent grift and bribery.

Breaking Epstein Investigation Update! NM DOJ has begun searching Zorro Ranch. ⬇️

@whitehouse.senate.gov did a VERY long speech of Trump and Epstein's ties w/Russia yesterday. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylvT...

I keep thinking about this. We could have this if we stopped bombing other countries, defunded the Pentagon and DHS, and if we taxed the rich.

She's like an old samurai whose great battles are behind her but every once in a while she kills a man with piece of paper just to prove a point

As I write this, it’s been nearly 96 hours since U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on Iran began, and if you’re like me, the feelings over this are all rather complicated. (long thread)

Trump's new war is another episode in the withering of the legislative branch. Congress won't get to weigh in on Iran for days (thanks to GOP leadership). When it does, the delayed move to deny the ongoing war may not pass — and if it does, Trump will veto it. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/congres...

Trump just held a press conference about war with Iran, and spent much of it talking about drapes and his ballroom. I guess those are the drapes of wrath???

We don’t want war. We want healthcare, a living wage, and affordable housing.

This is a big one. A newly uncovered document has revealed the existence of a mystery Epstein investigation. It was spearheaded by the DEA and involved drug trafficking and money laundering. Epstein was one of 15 targets. The other 14 names are redacted. I've got questions.

If the USA Women’s Hockey team wants a real celebration and invite ,,, I’ll host them in Las Vegas. Do some nice dinners and shows and good times. I’m sure I can get a hotel and airline to help me out here and celebrate these women for real for real. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Former ICE Attorney Ryan Schwank: “I received secretive orders to teach new cadets to violate the Constitution.”

It cool,, imma throw them a huge celebration in Las Vegas 👍🏾

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses? Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards My new column on the camps www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

"Always, always, always concentration camps are an end run around the existing legal system. These people that are getting rounded up because whoever’s in power wants to do something that they can’t do using the letter of the law..." www.nytimes.com/2026/02/21/o...

This is a censorship state. Is censorship a conservative value? Is that why Republicans are silent about this? No, of course not. They are just happy to let Trump try to rig our politics because they benefit.

Bloomberg says we've spent $3B on Trump's invasion of Venezuela. Which is 6X more than the cancer, Alzheimer, diabetes, and heart disease cures they've cut to pay for it. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

My Trump-supporting cousin-in-law just texted my husband to say he encountered this Mother Jones on social media, read it, realized I wrote it, and told him to tell me I’m doing good work and to keep going. Things are changing, y’all. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

“I’ve never protested before - but I just watched 4th & 5th grade kids run away from our own government.” 😕🇺🇸💔 (From @crindivisible.bsky.social )

Thank you to the courageous survivors who are continuing to fight for justice. I am so proud to stand with you, and I will never stop fighting for what you deserve.

The extraordinary courage of people who are documenting ICE atrocities in places like Minneapolis, at great personal risk, are also achieving something else: They're changing the public's mind about immigration. We have a rare opportunity here. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2059...

I called up one of the White House's "special government employees" involved in the Fulton County FBI raid. I ended up on the phone for almost two hours hearing about the "deep state" "cabal," "Satanists," poison soda, and the "pure evil" of "gay pride." talkingpointsmemo.com/news/meet-th...

When the Attorney General treats ethics as optional, the damage doesn’t end in a hearing room. It corrodes the rule of law itself. My latest ➡️

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

MS NOW: "A congressional official with knowledge of the matter is telling MS NOW the cause of the shutdown of El Paso airspace is a lack of communication between the Pentagon and FAA. The official told us the FAA and DOD are 'not in clear communications with each other.'"

Rep. Lieu: “Howard Lutnick must resign… The Epstein Files new release shows that not only did Howard Lutnick lie to the American people, he went into business with Jeffrey Epstein, he visited Epstein Island, and Howard Lutnick did this knowing how evil Epstein was.”

Lieu plays Bondi the infamous clip of Trump & Epstein partying together & asks her if there were underaged girls at any party the two attended "This is so ridiculous," Bondi says. "There's no evidence that Donald Trump has committed a crime" "I believe you just lied under oath," Lieu replies

Listen to this. Not a penny more for this. Abolish and prosecute anyone who had anything to do with it.

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.

This is literally what CURRENT LAW requires. It’s in the Constitution! www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

My colleague got into Trump's sprawling family detention camp, which is full of toddlers, kids, & teens. - Kids have cut themselves or talked about suicide -There's worms & mold in food -300 kids have been held for 30+ days, far longer court settlement allows www.propublica.org/article/life...

I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors. Great work everyone.

No one should be opposed to this.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

There's been lots of attention on 1 particular inexperienced & untrained govt lawyer But I want to give a shout-out to Kira Kelley, climatedefenseproject.org/profile/kira..., who focused on ICE's horrific treatment of an immigrant prisoner -- all occurring *after* the court had ordered him released

Heads are going to explode 💥 Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third. All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit. 1/3

Two agents involved in the shooting deaths of US citizens in Minneapolis are reportedly part of paramilitary tactical units—including ICE’s two Special Response Teams (SRT), CBP’s one SRT, and the Border Patrol Tactical Unit (BORTAC)—whose extreme tactics are generally reserved for war zones.

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

She’s asking about the Epstein victims And He’s telling @kaitlancollins.bsky.social to smile. I want to scream.

A newborn in Minneapolis hadn’t eaten for a day and a half. ICE agents took her mother when she went to work, trying to make money for diapers. Her 16-year-old and Bri, a local mother of two, saved that baby's life. @chabeli.bsky.social tells their story

Don Lemon and Georgia Fort have been released. But the procedural history now emerging is unusual. Before the arrests, a federal magistrate judge found no probable cause to arrest them. The government appealed anyway. Here’s why that matters—and what it signals more broadly.
