Our 47th president is a global laughingstock. He's a bush league pretender running around from camera to camera with his face painted orange puckering out provable lies and naming buildings after himself while trying to steal money from those he governs.

America may have always been like this for far too many people but this administration is bringing it home, directly and in person, to a ton of folks who have never seen it before that this is their response is extremely encouraging

The related thing I've been thinking about is Trump's repeated references to "Black jobs" during the campaign. That rhetoric went away, but the underlying impulse looks alive and well as his govt has actively targeted black workers at all levels. What jobs was he thinking Black workers will fill?

I know a Trump-loving family that went to see the Melania movie on opening weekend (husband and wife took their two daughters). People like this do exist and are our neighbors. That's all. 😞

Lehigh Co., PA asks warehouse owners NOT to sell to ICE: “The establishment of [ICE concentration camps] in Lehigh County is in direct opposition to the values of dignity, humanity, & mutual respect that define our region.” #LFG, Lehigh! www.pennlive.com/news/2026/02...

Really really wild to see this laid out in our paper of record, but then again... it's no surprise at all, given how obviously power-hungry and corrupt this administration is. (gift link) www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Ingenuity, care, grit, determination: through 2025, these characteristics shined in our sector. @macfound directors saw this clearly in leaders, nonprofits, partners, and communities. Read their reflections, and let us know what resonated: www.macfound.org/press/perspe...

Suggestion: Next time an undergrad complains about what a faculty member is teaching (unless it's actually damaging in some way), the administration should just give the student's money back and disenroll them. You think you know already what you should be taught? Why are you here then? Bye.

The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023. The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets. https://ow.ly/jy8a50Y8kM3

Aiyiyi mami

Crazy to think... after all this is over, Don Jr and Eric Trump will be billionaires, and their wealth will be largely taxpayer money conveyer-belted into offshore bank accounts, because white voters wanted to own them libtards.

A manual for ICE's immigrant-targeting computer system, Palantir ELITE, was leaked today. Let's look at it, then step back to evaluate how far we've come along a dangerous road and where that road might take us. 🧵

Local reports say at least four people were killed in an explosion in Bandar Abbas, allegedly caused by gas. Another blast hit a residential building in Ahvaz, killing four members of one family, with two rescued alive. Other reported explosions are either fake or unconfirmed. #Iran

Multiple explosions across different Iranian cities, e.g., Tehran, Tabriz, and possibly Bandar Abbas, are being reported.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

The office of Senator Jon Ossoff says it has identified more than 1,000 credible reports of human rights abuses inside the US immigration detention system over the course of 2025, including medical neglect, physical/sexual abuse, denial of food/water, and the mistreatment of children/pregnant women

I think the longer term result of discussing "databases" in this manner is legislative action to regulate companies like Palantir. That technology should be governed by laws within and operated by the DOD, not loaned out for profit by a private firm.

Gil Scott-Heron’s late-70s song 95 South expressed the same thing. Wish more people knew it. www.songlyrics.com/gil-scott-he...

Cretins are gonna do cretin shit, because they are cretins. The important thing now is law and justice. These are what separate us from the apes and anarchy.

More video of ICE shooting a man in Minneapolis today. From this angle, you can see another ICE agent **clapping** immediately after the shooting. The man has died. The clapping ICE agent runs into frame from the left. He claps 18 secs into the video before the Ford Expedition pulls into frame.
