Joanne Bland, one of the youngest people to march on “Bloody Sunday,” has died. She was 72. "By the time I was 11-years-old, I had been arrested at least 13 documented times”

Reporter: Hakeem Jeffries called you a wannabe king Trump: Low IQ Reporter: Why won’t you just work with Congress? Trump: I don’t have to.

How. Many. More. Times. do people need to see that ANYONE who has contact with him loses. Every time.

SCOTUS 6-3 ruled Trump's tariffs exceed the powers given to the president by Congress under a 1977 law providing authority to regulate commerce during national emergencies from foreign threats. The court did not weigh in on whether/how the fed govt should provide $200+ billion refunds to importers.

"In a break with Trump, the Republican-controlled Congress approved a funding bill for multiple key government agencies and institutions in January. Some of those groups included the cultural institutions whose federal funds the president had sought to severely decrease or totally eliminate."

NEW: Natasha Korecki at NBC reports that in light of the SCOTUS tariff ruling, Gov. Pritzker sent President Donald Trump an invoice of $8.6 billion.

"Judge Rufe, a Bush appointee, compared the regime’s rationale for removing the exhibit to the Ministry of Truth in George Orwell’s 1984, a dystopian novel about authoritarianism." “This is the American people fighting back & saying we will not accept this. Will not allow history to be rewritten.”

"Emails released in US DOJ files show that the late convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein was offered the chance to buy into a sprawling building tied to the DoD in 2016." "The prospect of a convicted sex offender acquiring a stake in property serving the Pentagon raises serious security questions."

But Trump declared peace?

As Trump & his "Board of Peace" declare the war is over... "Israel, backed by its principal ally, the US, has poured $billions into waging its war on Gaza. So, how much does the killing of more than 72,000 Palestinians cost? How much do you need to spend on munitions to commit a genocide?"

LIFE SENTENCE for imposing martial law in SK. And yet here we are in the US, politely hoping for accountability. "Former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol was found guilty of leading an insurrection on Thursday and sentenced to life in prison for his brief imposition of martial law in 2024."

The UK arresting Andrew. South Korea tossing their wannabe dictator in jail for life. John Roberts better be getting a really nice Edible Arrangement from the White House.

Stand up, fight back. "Local officials and residents in at least a dozen areas have voiced opposition to the facilities, packing town hall meetings and expressing fears that the protests that recently shook Minneapolis could be unleashed in their backyards."

We won't let ICE and CBP get away with their unlawful brutality in Minnesota.

Alright Texas! Early voting has officially started. It’s time to show this nation exactly what Texas is made of. Make a voting plan—get to the polls and make your voices heard.

Wow.

Linda Davis, a K-8 teacher in Savannah, Georgia, was killed in a car crash by a man fleeing ICE Local authorities said they were unaware of any ICE operations in the area. "We have a no chase policy," a county chairman said www.wtoc.com/2026/02/16/s...

BREAKING NEWS: The Rev. Jesse Jackson was a lifelong civil rights advocate until his death Tuesday at the age of 84.

“You don’t have freedom of speech to say and act any way you want to, anywhere you want to, anytime you want to,” Gov. Greg Abbott said. ACLU TX: “The state is threatening drastic and severe consequences for peaceful speech that could amount to retaliation, which is unconstitutional.”

I miss when you could post Brave Norman Rockwell Townsperson and the caption could be, like, “R.E.M was wrong to leave ‘Fretless’ off of Out of Time” instead of “The secret police should stop murdering people.”

“A CBP tactical unit, who had been trained how to use the counter-drone lasers by the Army, decided to deploy one, while members of the military looked on. They aimed the laser at what they thought was a drone flying near the Army’s Fort Bliss, though it turned out to be a metallic balloon.” 🎈

Like Project 2025, a new backwards Heritage Foundation report offers a policy blueprint for conservative lawmakers. - pressure young women into early marriages - eliminate no-fault divorce - punish single moms, esp. poor & WOC - no birth control, no abortion, no careers, no education @nwlc.org

"I am weary, tired and frankly downright furious that women and children must wait for a crisis to get progress. I wish that systems and institutions didn’t need us to bleed first and act second. Women ask for this at times of calm, we shouldn’t have to scream."

"At the core of these claims are two arguments: The parish’s decades‑old land-use practices violate the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery, and the 14th Amendment, which grants all Americans equal protection under the law." Since 1958, 28 of 32 plants built in majority-Black districts.

Well, this is an awesome album cover.

I miss diplomacy.

What a heartbreaking world we live in where a daughter fighting cancer has to fight for her father's freedom. “We mourn Ofelia’s passing, and we hope that she will serve as a model for us all for how to be courageous and to fight for what’s right to our last breaths.”

👉DC folx, Feb.27 rally for USAID #USAIDOneYear #ServiceEndures

“We’ve turned childhood itself into a privilege, not a promise. It is time that we give all families the quality, affordable child care they deserve,” @aoc.bsky.social If enacted, half of US families pay <$10/day for child care & cap costs in higher income brackets. @warren.senate.gov

"If funding for HIV prevention and treatment continues to fall, by 2040, ~3M children will contract HIV & ~1.8M will die of AIDS-related causes. (Also, the regime) pulled out of the vaccine alliance Gavi, an international org that has paid for 1 BILLION CHILDREN to be vaccinated worldwide."

👉Sign on to tell the administration: “Hands off our health care!” The Trump regime is unilaterally trying to shut down access to health care it finds objectionable. Ultimately, it would force hospitals to stop offering gender affirming care to young people altogether.

This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the “baby jail” in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But it’s routine. And disgusting.

Happy Valentine’s Day, Gabby. 🚀💘

Everyday people are finding their limits. Let's bring 'em into the fold to fight for what's right.

Shameful. Says so much about the US's tolerance of sexual abuse and reverence for the rich.

Six years ago, essayist and #FreedomToWrite Awardee Xu Zhiyong was arrested in southern China. Authorities cited his writing—in which he dreamt of a China underpinned by freedom, justice, and love—as evidence of his so-called crimes. https://pen.org/imprisoned-for-dreaming-of-a-beautiful-china/

I am reminded every winter that it costs more to provide healthcare for winter related health complications of homelessness ( frost bite, complex amputations, infectious complications) than to provide warm safe shelter for the homeless. Becoming homeless could happen to almost anyone.
