When parody is our reality

This is the correct response. Congress needs to be called back into session NOW

To abolish ICE, we must abolish pro-ICE “Dem” collaborators. Pro-ICE incumbent Henry Cuellar is running in the TX-28 Democratic primary against Physician & Veteran Ricardo Villarreal on March 3rd, 2026. Don’t forget to vote!

🟢 Israel agreed to a “ceasefire” in Gaza on Oct. 10. Since then, Israeli forces have: ➤ Launched 852 airstrikes & artillery attacks ➤ Opened fire on Palestinians 665 times ➤ Committed 1,856 armed violations on the ground 🔴 Israel Killed: ➤ 198 Children ➤ 85 Women ➤ 23 Elderly Citizens 648...

Saying "it's a distraction" is saying you care nothing for the little girls bombed out of existence for being born where they were. Epstein, ICE, Iran - all of it - are Crimes against Humanity by the MAGA Murder Regime. Praying for the people of Iran and an end to this hell.

The company’s “AI” famously can’t do anything right even 50% of the time, and they are so transparently unethical that even the Facebook folks are like “we probably shouldn’t use tech that way,” so sure, by all means, put them in charge of the nuclear codes or whatever.

I'm not going to lie, I take a comfort in that while they are destroying science and other areas of work that are beneficial, they also seem hell bent on destroying the military and I am OK with that.

I do not believe this endorsement will be a positive move for either person involved and I do not think it is a smart decision for either person here! Harris is not going to push you over the line in Texas. And if Crockett loses, then how does that make a Harris endorsement look?

Here's a chart showing who funds basic research in the US. It's easy to tell that private funding cannot make up for significant cuts to government funding.

You want to know the most amazing group of fighters I’ve ever known in my life? Environmental justice leaders. If you are not making EJ a pillar of your platform as a Democrat how could I ever consider you a fighter or strong?

Early voting data shows Democrats surging, but the deeper story is who’s actually turning out.

Axios CEO Jim VandeHei leaves no doubt who he is rooting for. This is not "news" - this is a press release. www.axios.com/newsletters/... PS: Jim (along with all the right-wing leaning corporate media elites) just may look beyond stupid when the numbers come in this November.

The claim that “we will always protect Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid” from a man who gutted Social Security offices, gave DOGE access to our information and kicked 15 million people off Medicaid is perhaps the most disgusting lie ever uttered on national television #TrumpsStateOfDelusion

democrats should internalize that this is what their colleagues think of them and act accordingly

Honestly why is this not still a story? We had a Kent State moment and we all grieved but then collectively we all moved onto everything else. And I know that people haven't forgotten but also, like, FUCK we should have MORE of a collective reaction.

Rep. Summer Lee with the Working People's SOTU response: "Look at Mayor Mamdani, who took on Andrew Cuomo and his corporate backers and won ... he proved that when you show up, when you speak clearly about how to meet people's basic needs, the people respond."

One cool thing about unequivocally hating AI is that you will be proven right over and over again every single day

My abuelo went to NYC from Cuba during WWII and he worked as a snow shoveler for years before saving enough money to go back to Cuba so he could really start his life. Till his very last day - and I am not kidding - he carried his NYC snow shoveler ID in his wallet with pride. Respect is long due.

It has occurred to me that the optimal level of marketing for my podcast Volts, upon which my family's entire income depends, might be higher than its current level of zero.

Ian is posting borderline porn here. Amazing satellite image.

I haven't built a good weather list on Bluesky like I had on Twitter and that is a shortcoming that has highlighted a lot with a lack of tweets about this storm on my feed.

Imagine winning an Olympic gold medal in men's hockey and then *immediately* destroying every bit of that coolness by partying with a graspy little dork like Kash Patel.

I tried to become a hockey fan but some loud and drunk racist caps fans out an end to that and watching these guys celebrating with Patel makes me know I made the right choice

Zahrans campaign was amazing and energizing but man this dude has hit the ground running on showing people government does not have to suck.

This is going to be amazing to see as it plays out tomorrow. Truly believe we are about to witness a generational storm tomorrow as this storm bombs out.

New nuclear is crazy-and useless $47.2 bil for 3.26 GW Hinkley Point C=$14.5/W vs $1/W for solar and wind And HPC will take 22 years from planning to operation (2008-2030), vs 1-3 for PV/wind Similar statistics for Vogtle Vaporware SMRs are worse www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

12z GEFS shows about twice as much snow as the 6z EPS but the 12z operational Euro was a meaningful trend up in snow totals so a 5-7 forecast is probably about right. Not all of that will stick though.

I love this for so many reasons but mainly because it highlights how insane this all is and how we all see it and it feels good to be validated by a member of the government because JFC have members of Congress sure been fucking gas lighting us. This is not normal and demands a non normal response!

Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.

Democrats in Congress won't fight back against fascism & corporate greed, so Justice Democrats is building the Democratic party we deserve—through primaries. Today, we're rolling out our full 2026 slate: our vision to build a team of fighters to build working class power in Congress.

There is so much pent up demand for joy and to believe in the future.

Me watching the rest of the world hold powerful and wealthy people accountable.

Congrats to BART rider and Oakland legend Alysa Liu on winning a gold medal at the Olympics and making the Bay Area proud!

So the GFS wants to ruin my day. #dcwx

FYI, @washingtonpost.com: Here is the 8:23 p.m. story you didn't credit in your 11:22 p.m. "breaking news" report. Please add credit. Thanks. —>

Even in this shitty time, I love living in DC because my neighbors and our community are not going to allow this authoritarian bullshit. Proud of y'all.

The fact that @apha.org is the first named plaintiff here is key and should tell you a lot about how this fight will be framed. Related: APHA has really stood up these past 13 months. A beacon of bravery when some other, similar orgs have shrunk from the moment and played small ball at best.

You absolutely do not need an ID to check out a book or get a library card and almost never need an ID to purchase alcohol after the grey in my beard has set in (becuase otherwise I have absolutely no signs of aging. None. Nope. *tears*)

@gelliottmorris.com continues cranking out excellent pieces on what is driving voter support. I believe this environment is perfect for increasing support of movements that have popular policies but are also considered system disruptors. Obviously I am thinking about environmental justice.

Here it is. Found it on the Earthjustice website. earthjustice.org/wp-content/u... Groups: Please don’t make us go fishing, I beg of you!

My exact point right here.

This is essentially exactly what @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social argues for out of fear in his conversation with Coates. Those of us who aren't white know that this means we're up next with this logic. And as Bouie points out, FOR WHAT? I hate this politics of fear and cowardice.

I like Bluesky because most of the people I follow are wonks. The percentage of people on my follow list who have written a book (almost entirely nonfiction) that I own is insanely high. I could literally have a bookcase of Bluesky authors. Its like a living library.

I am contemplating the reach of one man’s inspiration to so many people that have in turn inspired me and gave me the space to fight back and advocate. Jesse Jackson laid the foundation that @weact4ej.bsky.social and the environmental justice movement is built upon and I am eternally grateful.

Rev. Jesse Jackson's "I *am* somebody..." remains one of the all-time great pieces of 20th century rhetoric / agitprop And he could deliver it at a Black separatist meeting, the Democratic National Convention, or on god-blessed Sesame Street (see below 🥹) RIP to the Voice of the Voiceless

A highlight from a trip out to NJ yesterday, this snow bunting mid hop while its flock foraged among the beach vegetation. Barnegat Lighthouse is one of my favorite places to bird at least once or twice in the winter. Just a fabulous place. #birds #birding #birdphotography

My favourite quote: “Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

for freeeeeeeeeee by the way. it will cost you $250/year in Squarespace hosting but I will give you all my work for freeeeeee.

Just cloned Stand With Minnesota for another state. I am so excited someone finally took me up on the offer. I even made them a little logo and redid the site in their colors.
