Whenever someone insists we can’t elect a woman president I think about how we went 219 years without electing a Black president and then we did. After all this shit I still believe in America.

We were told to scrub "biodiversity" from our websites because of this shit.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Like, USAID still legally exists, still receives budget from Congress, and the few dozen remaining employees (who work at State) still have usaid.gov emails and all our systems and databases still exist. It's just the 10k of us who actually did the work are gone. Just do that to ICE and CBP.

Starting this Friday, four separate #JWST programmes will be exploring physical processes in Jupiter's atmosphere and ionosphere. We're asking amateur astronomers to help provide context imaging over the next few weeks to understand how the atmosphere is changing with time. #planetaryscience

News from the edge of the visible universe: JWST has confirmed this galaxy, MoM-z14, as the most distant one yet studied. We're seeing it as it was 13.5 billion years ago, 98% of the way back to the beginning of time. (MoM stands for "miracle or mirage.") 🧪🔭 science.nasa.gov/missions/web...

I’m not sure we’ve properly addressed how profoundly disturbing it is that America can largely shrug at the stashing of human beings in giant warehouses.

The word don't is censored. Don't, or Don T. If you're looking for just some fun proof they're doing control+f censoring

this. a lot of people don't get how difficult good reporting is, especially investigative journalism. it takes years of practice to build up the necessary skillset, and it often requires supporting infrastructure. yet the pay for 99% of reporters out there is abysmal

what I’m about to say isn’t a new insight but—this use of force is incredibly dumb on every conceivable level. It is the sort of thing that losing armies do as they retreat, not because they have any hope of victory but because they are demoralized and enraged.

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.

Journalist charged by Trump's DOJ: "I really want American people to understand attacking the press is not simply just attacking journalists, it's attacking the public's right to know."

Even more career prosecutors are leaving the U.S. Attorney's office. This is a major setback for public safety and a major loss for our state and country. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

Just left an ICE Protest in Portland OR that started at City Hall and marched to the ICE building. Main demand was "revoke" the lease that lets the agency use their building. Crowd was 500-1000. They gassed massively after about an hour. Had to pull a lot of 16-17 year old girls out of the gas.

here’s the thing: at my old age i am never surprised when i find out a man is a sexual abuser. disappointed, maybe, but rarely at this point. it’s bad out there!

Why do your organizing over Signal? So that you don't do your organizing on an app that hasn't been tested or reviewed, run by a guy who doesn't tell his users about data breaches and security problems. www.ibtimes.co.uk/stopice-hack...

I thought for sure this was an old quote. He said this statement this morning.

In many of the first generation of modern concentration camp systems (near the turn of the twentieth century), the vast majority of deaths were caused by disease and malnutrition. Most of the victims were women and children.

multiple trump-created crises converging with deadly results.

Unreal. He’s shutting down the Kennedy Center, after his flunkies caused mass defections of artists? Everything the man touches turns to ash. Our cultural heritage; destroyed. Our national treasures; plundered.

Once again here to tap the mic and say Texas is a gerrymandered, voter repressed state, not a "red" state. And every one of you celebrating the (significant) win in Tarrant County better not be the same people in my mentions saying to throw the whole South away. There are good people fighting.

Federal paramilitaries running up on the rooftops to fire irritants and flash bangs down into a peaceable assembly full of little kids

if you’re tear gassing little kids you lose your job, you get arrested, tried, and jailed simply no other option in a civilized society, these goons must face consequences

This is a good point re: Portland today This wasn't on federal land It wasn't when agents were claiming to do any enforcement activity It was federal agents shooting gas at children and union families in the streets Im not a lawyer, but I dont see how qualified immunity counts here It's assault

This is tear gassing protesters just for protesting. There is no threat, and the only danger presented is ICE behaving recklessly. There is no provocation; this is just straight up assault.

Seeing that photo of Obama putting the Medal of Freedom on Tom Homan circulate again. It's fake. Homan did get a civil service award during the Obama administration, but it wasn't the Medal of Freedom, it wasn't a medal (it was a certificate), and Obama didn't present it to him in person.

We need to shut down the word "performative" until we can figure out what the hell is going on. Of course adopting symbols of protest and resistance is performative! Performance is a core strategy for mass movements!! That's why the call them demonstrations!!!

As an Ebay seller, I switched from Uline to packagingprice.com because of Uline's politics.

🚨🚨🚨 LOS ANGELES: SHOW UP today outside the courthouse to stand up for Don Lemon and free speech 🚨🚨🚨

For Liam.

BREAKING: Bernie Sanders is introducing an amendment to cut ICE’s $75 billion funding increase, and to use those funds to restore the federal cuts to health care.

gutted over catherine ohara passing just one of the fucking greats

There have been many journalists arrested in the US before. I'm one of them. This is still very different. Lemon wasn't arrested as part of a mass of arrests of people surrounding a protest as it was happening and released (as I was). Lemon is being re-arrested for having covered a protest.

I went to Minneapolis to see what it means when ICE occupies a city. And I left with one unmistakable realization: ICE is not broken. It is working exactly as President Donald Trump wants it to. It cannot be reformed or retrained. It must be abolished.

Fuck this! RIP, legend. www.tmz.com/2026/01/30/c...

Newly-noticed exoplanet may be the Earthiest yet Overlooked in the Kepler data and discovered by a citizen scientist, HD 137010 b is one of the most interesteing exoplanets yet observed. Check out ... #Post #exoplanets #Space Origin | Interest | Match

HD 137010b was found by citizen scientists analysing data from the Kepler space telescope’s K2 mission, an extension of its observations after one of its three reaction wheels broke down. The planet is still only a candidate, as at least two more transits must be seen before it is confirmed ✨

ICE was forced to back out of the Super Bowl thanks to public outrage. Good job, humans. Keep being outraged. You should be.

They stole his Spidey backpack.

Yes - until you see it firsthand, it’s hard to understand how upsetting and enraging it is to see these guys operate in your community. They are dressed for war, they beat civilians up, they openly antagonize neighbors, they’re masked, they carry people away. Everyone is livid at every scene.

So, incredibly, the White House has chosen to escalate in blue Minnesota and retreat in Maine to protect a vulnerable GOP Senator. It's confirmation that Trump-Vance-Miller view ICE as a partisan govt-backed militia to attack blue America while propping up their regime. 1/

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio. Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3. Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

CBS News invites everyone who works for them to quit.

ICE kidnapped 5 people from my community this morning. I don’t live in Minneapolis. I live in LA County. They’re still here and their still brutalizing.

Of course. And that’s why Dems need to lean in and work towards dismantling ICE. First no funding. Impeach Noem. Demand hearings on ICE’s operation in MN. Demand that Miller resign. Don’t let up.

This isn’t just “owning the libs” — this is the highest office in the nation using technology to lie to the entire world. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...
