Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

We are underreacting.

Our case challenging President Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship in front of the Supreme Court is one of the biggest cases of the century. We’re fighting to preserve the very fabric of this nation.

ICE agents in Chicago violently detain a non verbal autistic man for being “non compliant” He couldn’t “comply” because of his disability…they don’t care This is not the first time they’ve gone after a disabled person They target the most vulnerable because it’s an easy way to meet their quota

It’s time, Skylights! However you plan to participate today, THANK YOU. We need your voice. America doesn’t do kings. 🇺🇸 ❤️ Stay safe, stay connected. (@vjaybomb.bsky.social outdid themselves last night)

2/ I stayed by Monica Moreta-Galarza, who was seeking asylum with her family, until she was discharged from the hospital. “Over [in Ecuador], they beat us there too. I didn’t think I’d come here to the United States and the same thing would happen to me,” she said in Spanish.

From the FCC's own website(!), citing 47 U.S.C. § 326, explicitly declared: "no regulation or condition shall be promulgated or fixed by the Commission which shall interfere with the right of free speech by means of [over-the-air] broadcast communication." www.fcc.gov/consumers/gu...

It should be needless to say, but it is perhaps at this moment worth saying, that transgender individuals have the same right as anyone else to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Photojournalist Bill Biggart died when the second tower collapsed on him on 9/11, but the film he shot that day and his flash card were recovered from the debris and developed, along with his flash card. You can see his amazing photos of 9/11, the last photos he took while alive, here:

NYC Families - Pls share! Limited seats still available at Central Brooklyn Literacy Academy for rising 2nd and 3rd graders; and at South Bronx Academy for rising 2nd graders.

The FDA never released a comprehensive list of the drugs it allowed into the U.S. even though they were made by banned factories. This week, we published that list.

Now free, several men sent to CECOT talked to @nlanard.bsky.social and @isabelaalhadeff.bsky.social: “What they did there was torture us” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Enraging story from @alexzimmerman.bsky.social. NYC hasn’t paid its ~1,000 Teaching Fellows the entire 7 weeks they’ve been working this summer, forcing some to go into debt to cover rent and food. This at a time the city is trying to hire in historic numbers: www.chalkbeat.org/newyork/2025...

The closure of the CDC’s entire FOIA office is unacceptable and in fact, illegal. Americans shouldn't be left in the dark about how the CDC is operating. Transparency matters. So we're suing.

Texas banned abortion. Then sepsis rates soared. Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion in 2021. @propublica.org found sepsis rates shot up over 50% for women hospitalized when they lost their pregnancies in the 2nd trimester. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

If we want culture to thrive, not just survive, it’s on all of us now.

The American people have risen up and they are PISSED AS HELL. #HandsOff

After we sued, the National Endowment for the Arts temporarily dropped its requirement forcing grant applicants to certify that they won’t promote “gender ideology.” We’re in court today with @riaclu.bsky.social to ensure the NEA keeps protecting artistic freedom.

Elon Musk says that no one has died because he slashed humanitarian aid. I went to South Sudan to check if that's true. It's not. Meet Peter, Achol and Evan, ages 10, 8 and 5. The reckless actions of the world's richest men are killing the world's poorest kids www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

👏👏👏 Yaaass.

Gutting the Department of Education will impact everything from internet access to school buses. Let’s not make it harder to learn.

Whelp NYC’s OCR will be closing/ is closed.

CW police brutality to disabled people As we see calls for civil disobedience ramp up again, I want to remind folks that 50% of excessive force deaths in police custody are disabled people. There is a misapprehension that cops are hesitant to harm disabled folks. That is not true.

The Hochul/Delgado breakup that we've all been waiting for finally happened after the LG said he wouldn't run on her ticket again www.cityandstateny.com/politics/202...

Work requirements are meant as cuts to Medicaid. They make it harder for disabled people to get the services we need to survive. We can stop this — call or email your elected officials NOW and tell them #HandsOff Medicaid! We can show you how:

Rob the poor to feed the rich. The wealthy does not need additional tax cuts #DontCutMyMedicaid

A new must-read YA book on being Black and autistic!

Governor Hochul’s proposed changes to the Foundation Aid education funding formula would result in NYC schools receiving nearly $350M less than they would without these changes. Tell Governor Hochul and the NYS Legislature not to shortchange NYC schools: bit.ly/DemandFairFunding

🚨 Your House representative is now back home through February 23. That’s where we come in. With Trump and Elon Musk pulling off a billionaire coup in real time, this congressional recess is about turning up the heat like never before. Let’s get to work: indivisi.org/muskorus

Dear Governor Kathy Hochul: It's time. You have the power to remove Eric Adams from office as NYC mayor. Take a stand -- and stand up for cleaning up corruption in New York. REMOVE ADAMS NOW. Sincerely, A New Yorker

Haven’t we seen enough? Corrupt & compromised. This Mayor needs to be removed. It’s past time for Governor Hochul to step in here. And if she won’t, the city’s Committee on Mayoral Inability should. Enough is enough. New York deserve better & shouldn’t have to wait any longer.

A federal judge just ordered the Trump administration to restore CDC, FDA and HHS webpages that Trump had ordered to be deleted. This comes after doctors sued the Trump administration for interfering with their treatment of patients.

"The role of the Treasury Department — and of the executive branch more broadly — is not to make determinations about which promises of federal funding made by Congress it will keep, and which it will not." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/o...

Fully acknowledging that I don’t know the physical, on-the-ground details of how all these things go down, but… why aren’t more people, especially after a couple weeks of this, just saying no, fuck off

Hearing from a govt contractor that Dept of Education is terminating What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) contracts. WWC is a website that rigorously evaluates education policies, programs, and products to determine what's effective and not. It's an invaluable tool for school, district, state leaders
