I got told many times that I looked like Dustin Hoffman in The Graduate, and it used to piss my mother off because she thought I was better looking than Hoffman

Be the Change you want to see. Truth. Love. Peace.

This is Maria, a 6-year-old detained by ICE last year. She began to unravel soon after arriving at a detention center in Texas, wetting the bed after years without accidents, crying through the night and begging to breastfeed again. Most of all, she wanted to be reunited with her cat, Milo. 1/

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Trump says he worries about "nuclear" as the world's biggest problem, but he's letting the last major arms treaty - one even the Russians want - lapse. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

I was a White House ethics lawyer. I used to advise people not to even accept a free cup of coffee from someone who had interests before them. And staff followed those rules. I can’t even find the words to describe the scale of Trump’s corruption here.

Federal authorities are releasing a 4th-grader detained by ICE in Minnesota.

An ICE claim that a man shattered his skull running into a wall triggers tension at a Minnesota hospital.

We're many, many steps from that.

Alex pretti was a Va nurse and a dog owner

Love this 🥲

They counted the bullet holes instead of performing CPR

Alex Pretti, the 37-year-old man killed by federal immigration agents Saturday, worked as a nurse treating sick veterans, according to family, friends and colleagues – a reflection of his deep desire to help others, they said. https://cnn.it/4bcuwlz

Over 450,000 people work and serve at VA. What (if anything) will they hear from him? Watch this space.🚨🇺🇸

"Pete Hegseth might consider adding another task to his many duties, one that would be of immense help to the nation and to the armed forces: He should shut up." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

If they are doing this to white people in broad daylight imagine what they are doing to non-white people in detention facilities.

The paradox of the current moment is that while none of this is normal, it is also not extraordinary. It is the country in which we live, and we are not going back to a previous era. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-c...

Trump DOJ pushes ‘terrifying’ theory in court that could gut congressional power: report

The killing of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, who was shot by an ICE agent during a protest in Minneapolis, has been ruled a homicide.

"Make them shoot you in public before they murder you in private" Grandma Miriam, Holocaust survivor.👇

I spent an hour watching today live. I had to disconnect from it for a bit. Conclusion that's easy to reach is one I reached a long time ago: None of this should be happening, ICE shouldn't in the streets, the military shouldn't be in the streets, and the blame goes right to the White House.

88,000 families in Kyiv are without electricity after Russia's attack on the city last night. About 6,000 residential buildings are without heating (hundreds of thousands of people). It is -8 degrees, and will be up to - 15 in the night. Russia continues its energy genocide.

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

So many posts pouring out from NATO veterans. And from Americans who served with them—and appreciate them. Unlike Trump.

For all that the president has done his first year in office, “the prognosis for democracy in the United States is far better today than it was at the start of Trump’s second term,” @qjurecic.bsky.social argues:

If they can do it to Renee Good, and they can do it to Chongly Scott Thao, and they can do it to combat vet William Vermie, they can do it to ANYONE. And they can do it to YOU. www.kare11.com/article/news...

If senior officers carry out what Trump is threatening against NATO, “the officers and enlisted people below them will likely obey the chain of command”—and “such an outcome would be a tragedy, and potentially a global catastrophe,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues.

Back then, wannabe dictators either declared dictatorship or staged a coup. Today wannabe dictators use “electoral autocracy” — they come to power via elections but then hollow out the electoral system through voter suppression, banning rivals from running for office, intimidation, & other tactics.

Colorado-based NORAD issues this warning that aircraft are headed for Greenland for a planned exercise, lest anyone mistake it for an American invasion of a NATO ally
