Oh man some very sad news coming from the Grateful Dead family….RIP Bobby Weir 🙏🌹

The crackdowns are intensifying. The Maduro regime remains in power, with Delcy Rodríguez in command. This was never about democracy or protecting the people of Venezuela. They continue to live in danger and fear while Trump cuts deals with the regime to seize their oil.

Arizona out in the cold to say NO ICE

After the EPA found that ethylene oxide is 30 times more carcinogenic than previously thought, it updated regulations to protect the people who are most exposed to it. Now, the agency’s ability to do that for many air pollutants is under threat. By @lisalsong.bsky.social

It was 40° and windy when "Maria" share this video with us from where she and her coworkers were harvesting carrots. "It's hard working in these harsh weather conditions. Things blow in your eyes and it is very cold, but his how we feed our families." #WeFeedYou

Texas is getting a reality check Sunday morning 🥶❄️ Cold air crashes south overnight with 20s in the Panhandle and 30s to low 40s spreading into Central and East Texas. Add a stiff north wind and it’s going to feel extra rude around sunrise. #txwx

Also, by their own standards, the cops protecting the Capitol on Jan 6 should have opened fire all over.

"I'm here to stand up for humanity and standing against occupation, both foreign and domestic—I'm a patriot to a people, to an idea that we're all one, that this is stolen land, that no one is illegal," -U.S. veteran marching w/ thousands of others in Minneapolis for Renee Good

Trump declares “support” for protestors in Iran, while simultaneously attacking protestors and killing civilians in the United States.

As the NFL playoffs begin, here’s a reminder: publicly funded stadiums for billionaire sports team owners are a scam. https://youtu.be/vLkyULxrWiE?si=yOBm-M2Y7pcokmRO

"That is a fundamental difference between Vice President Vance and I," says Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) in response to JD Vance's defense of the ICE agent who shot and killed Renée Good in Minneapolis. "I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street."

ICE is so afraid of unarmed women, they shoot them.

The murder of Renee Good by ICE has shocked the nation. The President is deploying his own personal armed thugs into the streets of America. In all my years, I've never seen anything like it. (ft. W. Kamau Bell)

OpenAI is asking contractors to upload projects from past jobs, leaving it to them to strip out confidential and personally identifiable information. I’m sure that will go well:

AOC: “I understand that VP Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, & I do not — That is a fundamental difference between VP Vance & I — I do not believe the American people should be assassinated in the street”

@schumer.senate.gov Trump wants to be a Terrorists Organization....the Once Republican Party now the MAGA Gang members are clearly Racist and yes, hold old habitual beliefs and patterns which were what the Civil War was about... Label the Once Republican Party now the MAGA Gang members as Such.

@schumer.senate.gov -- As I see it, Trump wants a civil war. Civil strife is a prelude to what might come this year. Then it is very possible he would declare martial law. Whatever is left of Congressional power to curb Trump, should be used now.

@kamalaharris.com told us exactly what would happen.

"It's horrible, it's terrifying, it should never happen, it feels like we're not in the United States, they're trying to spread fear—people are standing up and saying no," -one of thousands of Minneapolis ICE protesters after ICE murdered Renee Good. LIVE NOW ⬇️

Q: Who whips out their phone to video their own act of murder? A: Two answers are true: 1) Someone who intends on murdering. 2) Sadists. And Sadistic Personality Disorder never exists in isolation. It's always accompanied by Psychopathy-Sociopathy (ASPD). Always.

America, we are feeding the wrong wolf, and it will consume our children, our country, and our better selves. If we don’t change course, we will drag the world into its darkest chapter. We can’t let this happen.

Be prepared for the inevitable: trump WILL find a way to cancel the mid-term elections

The Trump regime is having "preliminary discussions" on what to bomb in Iran as the US seeks to take advantage of ongoing protests, the options include a "large-scale aerial strike" on “Iranian military targets”; the US is widely known for indiscriminately striking civilians.

Israel sees no indications of unusual activity at Iranian missile sites; defense sources say likelihood of Iranian attack at this time is low.-Walla News

Former Trump envoy Keith Kellogg: “Zelenskyy is a tough son of a bitch. He's stubborn. He has his opinion. He's unafraid to say that. He knows how to use media. “We in the United States have not seen a leader like him since Abraham Lincoln.”

TwitterX is banned in Iran like all other forms of social expression, but Musk is allowing Khamenei to tweet out vile propaganda on an hourly basis.

Oops. “US citizens in Venezuela should leave the country immediately… “There are reports of groups of armed militias, known as colectivos, setting up roadblocks and searching vehicles for evidence of US citizenship or support for the United States.”

Common Sense, published 250 years ago today.

UNARMED WOMAN: “Shame on you.” ICE GOON: “Have you not learned from the past few days?” UNARMED WOMAN: “Learned what? What’s our lesson?” ICE GOON: *VIOLENTLY SNATCHES HER PHONE* (H/T @Mollyploofkins)

Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal warns ICE: "No law enforcement professional wears a mask... Those that come into our communities wearing a mask to commit crime... You getting arrested". "Fake wannabe law enforcement... The criminal in the WH will not be able to keep you from going to jail".

But they may well not have any actual windmills

Trump: If Iran's leaders order the killing of peaceful protestors, we will bomb them. Also Trump: Orders killing of peaceful protestors in the USA.

JD Vance proclaims that all federal police enjoy "absolute immunity" from prosecution for any crime. In other words, Vance is giving the go-ahead for DHS and others to murder anyone, at any time, and without cause, due process, or regard for the safety of others. www.cbsnews.com/video/jd-van...

Here is the original WWII-era "Army Talk" given to troops on how to recognize fascism. It is an eerily letter-perfect description of Trump and his tactics. (H/T to the great Heather Cox Richardson for pointing out the existence of this gem.) archive.org/details/Army...

Multiple eyewitness accounts of ICE's shooting of two people in Portland agree that ICE opened fire AFTER the pickup truck with the two individuals was already driving away, violating DHS's own rules. They opened fire in a public area, near a hospital, without regard for safety. Lawless thugs.

Just saving this for the inevitable deleting.

#NicoleReneeGood could have been someone you love. It could have been any of us who have been witnessing against ICE illegal actions.

Children understand right from wrong better than Republicans do! People across the nation are making it known that #ICELawlessness is not okay. Not 1 elected Republican has spoken out about the shooting in Minneapolis, Minnesota to Renee Nicole Good. Call their offices to ask why: 202-224-3121.

Our values center love and the dignity and worth of all people. For centuries, when justice is threatened, UU's show up. @uua.org
