Brutal day/week/year. Here's a thread of pushback news to keep you moving forward: www.thedailybeast.com/arkansas-mag...

This looks delightfully like a speech-bubble

☘️Thank you for your excellent message, Mayor! ☘️ I was privileged to get to meet Ireland's then-President Mary Robinson when I was in high school and I've long admired her commitment to making the world a better place.☘️ Happy St. Patrick's Day!

CHRIST this was a bitch to alt text (my phone camera is allergic to this font) but it was worth it so we could enjoy this scorching hot Catholic tea together they just flat out said the SCOTUS Catholics are going to hell. which we knew, but maybe they’ll hear it from the bishops!

So this is the playbook now: encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/t...

just a reminder that you already know everything you need to know about the state of the union and unless you will enjoy watching it there's a million other things you can do. you don't have to be "in the loop." the loop is a trash place to be tbh

After a weekend of California politics, I am feeling a wee bit cynical. Then I remembered that cynicism is a kind of grief, and decided to look for some heroes who are fighting the Trump administration to feel better. I'll start with some lawsuits: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

From now on, we call it "hockey" and "men's hockey."

We were part of the epic snow storm in Tahoe last week.

Gavin Newsom, shown here standing my communities by rousting out homeless people.

There are numerous articles enumerating how the people employed at the companies which make kid-targeted devices and services do not give their kids screen time. That should tell you something.

The administration is relocating ICE agents to other parts of the country to see if they can achieve better results with the same tactics there. If you're outside the Twin Cities, learn and replicate their model for resistance. If you're in the Twin Cities, keep your networks intact and carry on.🖤

Fixed it for you.

@schiff.senate.gov As a Californian, I am telling you that if you want my vote you need to follow Senator Markey's lead here. This administration is building concentration camps.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

I don't care how many have cameras. I'm concerned that 13,000 ICE agents have jobs.

This year, get her what she really wants for Valentine's Day Vengeance

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps. If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

So I spent a lot of time in 2025 reporting on why workers did not really want to embrace AI & a consistent reason was, "It will only mean that I will end up doing more at work." And lo, these workers were right to be concerned: gizmodo.com/researchers-...

one of the greatest human triumphs of my lifetime is the relentless, unceasing, heroic effort by DECADES' worth of doctors and scientists to find a cure for a disease much of the world didn't take seriously for years because it predominantly affected a community they thought kinda deserved it

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!

I've told this story on ContrabandCamp but it's worth sharing for BHM because it's one of the greatest stories ever. A thread.

Chris, of course, does a great job summarizing the highlights of this truly remarkable and sobering transcript.

"For much of the 2010s and likely before and since, it appears the crime rate of CBP agents and offices was higher PER CAPITA than the crime rate of undocumented immigrants in the United States." www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/accountabi...

Good morning! Another thread of news about people and organizations fighting the Trump administration. Starting with students in Illinois: www.wbez.org/education/20...

There is so much news about people in this country pushing back against Trump that I'm going to do another thread tonight. Please repost them to spread the good word. "This is called Moral Elevation. Witnessing 'the helpers'. . . counters Compassion Fatigue. . ."

this PAC, “democratic youth wave,” has poured over $100,000 into a single delaware based corporation with a generic sounding name that came into existence shortly after the PAC was formed in 2024. they’re using this man’s murder to fundraise for some vague fucking grift.

I say this as an American and a soccer fan and a guy who lives 40 miles or so from one of the venues: Don‘t come here don’t send your teams. Tell your fans to stay home. This regime deserves nothing but shunning and disdain.

It’s actually a central part of Catholic spirituality that almost any kind of work (barring something that’s unethical) can have great meaning and value if we do it with love and a sense of calling.
