I’ve never felt unsafe in this bougie neighborhood a day in my life. This is a 25 mph zone, full of fancy bars and restaurants, a curling club, salons, boutiques, and one of the busiest coffee shops around. They are doing their damndest to wreck everything here.

Y'all, ICE thugs are still terrorizing people in Minneapolis and St. Paul. They are counting on America looking away, and it's currently working. Please tell everyone you know, please reach out to people with huge followings, and ask them to help refocus our attention on the ongoing abuses.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Almost 3 years since the publication of SECRET OF THE MOON CONCH by Guadalupe García McCall & me. It's still timely. The premise? A teen from Mexico—crossing into the US to escape violence and find her father—is captured and caged by ICE. But she has an unexpected ally, connected to her mind. 1/

Guess where I am today? @deborahkalb.bsky.social invited me to her blog to chat about the path to publication for ONE GIRL'S VOICE - and I always love to share the process behind a book's birth. Why did I write this story? Come on over and find out: deborahkalbbooks.blogspot.com/2026/02/q-wi...

I wonder if Irish Americans today remember that the St. Patrick´s Battalion fought alongside Mexicans in the US-Mexico war. #abolishICE

THERE ARE NO GOOD BILLIONAIRES #epsteinfiles

In an interview with NPR, Melinda French Gates confirmed that she ended her marriage with Bill Gates because of allegations contained in the Epstein files.

Thinking about whoever said that by accepting a meal from people and then arresting them ICE agents broke a cultural taboo that was invented by, like, the first humans to set up a tent

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 date for the next No Kings Day is set. But this is a save the date, not a “sit back and wait.” 🧵

Wow. This is devastating. www.science.org/content/arti...

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years. These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Some safety tips for the big storm! Be safe, everybody.

The word "execution" suggests a death sentence imposed after conviction in a court of law. When they kill unarmed or disarmed protesters in the street, call it what it is: murder.

A lot of self described Christians seem to be banking on there not actually being a hell.

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind. It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty. Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face. Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

Introduce yourself with 5 concerts you've seen, with WOMEN lead singers The Breeders Garbage Tori Amos Clannad Beach House

Jack Smith: "Donald Trump was not looking for honest answers about whether there was fraud in the election. He was looking for ways to stay in power. And when people told him things that conflicted with him staying in power, he rejected them."

I’ve added the script for Wake Up Dead Man to my site. This is the final shooting script, so it has stuff that was cut and moved around, which I always think is more interesting to see than a conformed cleaned up version. Enjoy! www.rian-johnson.com/screenplays

I am introducing the Melt ICE Act to end funding for immigrant detention and monitoring. We have seen the danger in infusing resources into DHS’s abuses of power. Funding for ICE is fuel for human suffering. It’s time to start melting ICE.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

You can’t fight antisemitism while validating Holocaust deniers, gutting civil‑rights enforcement, and excusing open hatred inside your own movement. My new piece traces how the Trump administration is mainstreaming hate — not by accident, but by design.

crazy that the website that I randomly decided to put together at 10AM yesterday has had over 25k unique visitors in 24 hours. please keep sharing with your networks.

Hey guys, has anybody put together a guide, a fact sheet, a video, or anything else aimed at kids re: what they should do if ICE on their campus, or approaches them or their friends while walking to/from school?

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.
