This means two things will happen: 1) Trump and the GOP will cheat and 2) Dems will play possum, go safe, go centrist, go corporate, and continue with business as usual because they believe they can waltz to victory and spike the football www.axios.com/2026/02/19/r...

This is great! But don’t forget to use alt text!

Made my way through 16 towns and cities across the Berkshires dropping off postcards and signature papers, then wrapped it up with an AWESOME talk at Williams College! Anyone want a stack or postcards or signature papers hit me up 🙌 📋 🖊️ ✉️

Saying “I don’t agree” with someone’s sexual orientation or gender identity is just as anti-LGBTQIA+ as being overtly anti-LGBTQIA+. Cut the bigotry out.

Yet another sad reminder that there is a two-tiered justice system in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else. If elites can be held accountable in other parts of the world, why can't they be held accountable in America?

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

Must be nice to have a functioning Supreme Court.

Orion's Cradle apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap26021... Cradled in red-glowing hydrogen gas, stars are being born in Orion. These stellar nurseries lie at the edge of the giant Orion molecular cloud complex, some 1,500 light-years away.

Hi stargazers! Tonight, after sunset, check out the pretty waxing crescent #moon near #Saturn with elusive #Mercury nearby. Mercury is also at its greatest distance from the sun tonight. Can you spot Venus near the horizon? 🌒🪐🌌🔭 Watch this video for more information: buff.ly/Dm8uccZ 📸 EarthSky.org

#8 from the Christmas Tree Trucks campaign is already with the Rubizh Brigade. This Mitsubishi by @starskyua.bsky.social was delivered to Ukraine with the help of Walt and Mike. A little left of winter. A little left of the campaign 🙏🏼 Let’s finish strong 🫡 car4ukraine.com/campaigns/ch...

Putin would starve Russians before ending war, Browder says The Kyiv Independent’s Martin Fornusek speaks with Bill Browder, investor and longtime sanctions advocate, about why Western sanctions have so far failed to change Russian President Vladimir Putin’s behavior.

Americans waking up to news that Prince Andrew has been arrested for Epstein ties

We must continue to demand accountability of everyone who has facilitated the violations of our rights and the terrorizing of our communities. She must never hold public office again. 2/2

After padding her pockets and lying through her teeth, Tricia McLaughlin is finally leaving DHS. But let's be clear: a resignation isn't accountability, and it won't erase the harm. 1/2

With @warren.senate.gov, @quigley.house.gov, and @duckworth.senate.gov, I am calling on the Trump Administration to provide us with information on how they will address the long-term effects of their campaign of terror.

As we saw in Chicago, DHS agents have criminally targeted childcare workers and centers across the country, worsening the childcare shortage and increasing costs.

Immigrant justice is reproductive justice. We must protect members of our community in need of care, assert our oversight power, and end immigration detention.

For more than a year, we have heard about the inhumane treatment of women, especially pregnant women, in ICE's custody. That is why I am leading a resolution demanding that DHS provide Congress information about the care of pregnant women in detention and a bill to end immigration detention.

The American people do not want a war with Iran. My entire adult life, politicians have been sending other people’s kids — our U.S. troops — to die in reckless, endless wars. Enough.

Dr. Linda Davis was a beloved educator and community member. ICE is yet again proving that regardless of who you are or where you come from, their operations put all of us in danger. Abolish ICE and prosecute those responsible. thegrio.com/2026/02/17/l...

Grateful to @1hoodpower.bsky.social for convening our community to discuss how history got us to this point and how we can not just abolish ICE but work towards structural change that prioritizes and protects our communities.

ICE is the inevitable result of centuries of state-sanctioned violence against marginalized communities. We have to understand why this is happening and how we can keep each other safe.

Redacting the names of heinous billionaire pedophiles while exposing the identities of survivors is both unacceptable and unlawful. I will never stop fighting for every survivor.

To the survivors: the shame is not yours to carry. You were failed by so many powerful people who could’ve protected your childhood. You were failed by a government that ignored your cries for decades. You have suffered what no person – no child – should endure. I won’t stop fighting for you.

Israeli soldiers r*ped a 13 year-old Palestinian boy they’d detained, then labelled the Israelie organisation investigating his r*pe as a “terr*rist entity”

I’m finally ready to give Donald Trump some credit.

ICE’s terror is traumatizing our kids. Take a look at what these parents had to say.

This is flying under the radar: Donald Trump FIRED the DOJ official in charge of suing Live Nation-Ticketmaster for monopolizing ticketing and hiking prices. Then, their stock jumped. If Trump's DOJ takes it easy on Ticketmaster, it'll be a slap in the face to every American.

Ramadan Mubarak to everyone observing. This is a month of reflection, discipline, generosity, and community. A reminder that justice and compassion are not abstract values, but daily practices. May this month bring renewal and a lighter year ahead.

Proud of Rep. Abdelnasser Rashid for leading the charge to repeal Illinois’ anti-BDS law. As the only Palestinian American serving in the Illinois General Assembly, he has shown real courage in taking on attacks to our fundamental freedoms. We’re in this fight with him.

The choice is clear.

Heard you weren’t sure about what is federal vs. local jurisdiction, Mr. President, so we wanted to make it easier for you. Many thanks to the National Park Service for this great map of federal land!

Is it any wonder why so many people have given up on the system?

As I was saying before a fish rudely interrupted: The military industrial complex has done nothing to improve the lives of working- and middle-class Mainers. Quite the opposite.

Fine has a long history of disgusting, horrible comments. Long past time for him to be censured, stripped of committees, and removed from office. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social has rightfully condemned this comment, but why not push for censure?

Happy Lunar New Year! ✨ May the Year of the Fire Horse be filled with lasting health, joy, and abundance for you and yours.

Ramadan Mubarak to all who are observing. We know that for the 2 billion Muslims around the world, including more than 4 million here in the US, Ramadan is an important time of reflection, gratitude, and spiritual renewal.

Supporting the American Gestapo is completely disqualifying. @rephaleystevens.bsky.social, you are a traitor to the American people, and your farce of a primary campaign is an attack on every single person who lives in the state of Michigan. If you’re in Michigan: don’t vote for a Quisling

Today we mourn the passing of Rev. Jesse Jackson, a giant of the civil rights movement who never stopped demanding that America live up to its promise.

 He marched, he ran, he organized and he preached justice without apology.

May we honor him not just in words, but in struggle.
