The Pentagon just failed its 8th consecutive audit and still got approved for a $1 TRILLION budget without blinking so I'm gonna need every corrupt hypocritical politician complaining about made up food stamp fraud and forcing drug tests and work requirements on poor people to shut up forever. Thx.

So the United States will only use empty warehouses to house people it wants to terrorize, not people it wants to shelter from the cold. We really are not a very good-natured country.

For nearly a year, the administration has said that DOGE had no unauthorized access to your Social Security data. A new government filing admits that was false.

this message from the lake of the isles pencil on 2/6 is so sweet “Minneapolis, I have been watching over you this difficult month, while ICE agents occupy us and kill us… I have never been prouder to stand among you and to belong to this community.“

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Welcome to America! ❤️

Happy Valentine’s Day! Remember that love is found in kindness, silliness, and sweetness. That is where it is nurtured. That is where love endures. @bensonandbowie.bsky.social Video contains a virtual date between 2 golden retrievers and b-roll of each of them doing things they love.

Joy is different from fun or entertainment. It's not a celebration of suffering. It's like finding fresh air when sadness surrounds us from all sides. Joy is balm, mental medicine. It offers company in loneliness, nourishment for a weary mind. It provides solace when vulnerability overwhelms us.

WCK’s Pavlo is checking in from Odesa, where a drone attack struck critical infrastructure and homes. For the past two days, our teams have been distributing hot meals to families as they begin to recover from these strikes. #ChefsForUkraine

ICYMI: I introduced my Trans Bill of Rights with @markey.senate.gov — legislation to defend trans people across this country as Republicans continue to push anti-trans rhetoric and bills. To our beloved trans community: We see you, we love you, and we will always stand with you.

CW: animal neglect This is Reba. She was surrendered to a shelter extremely malnourished with every bone in her body visible. She needs emergency care to survive, including a feeding tube for nutritional support. You can donate to her care below ❤️‍🩹 1510.fan/reba-bsd

We launched this last night trying to raise $600 for diapers. This morning we have ten times that and still going. I thank you, Jill thanks you, Maisy thanks you, and Sally is overwhelmed.

This dog is being called a "real-life Lassie" after helping find a missing 3-year-old boy in Kentucky. “I don’t know where the dog came from,” one officer said. “But it was a blessing from God that day.” We think the dog deserves some credit too, so we're awarding him our highest honor, a 15/10

'Brave' isn't a big enough word to describe the orphans in our care. Nothing can erase their past, but we can offer them the wild future they deserve. There is always space for one more our foster family – could it be you? sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/a...

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

Don’t look away from MN. ICE is still wreaking havoc across the state - changing their tactics to deceive Minnesotans - pretending to be construction workers or folks delivering groceries. Still over 2,000 ICE agents in the state. They’re not going anywhere, your anger and outrage shouldn’t either.

A parent at my kids’ school was abducted a few hours ago. Please help us help the family with legal expenses and care for their elementary school son (who doesn’t even know his dad was taken yet 💔): gofund.me/20a5b26ab

The Trump administration removed a Pride flag at the NYC monument honoring the Stonewall uprising, a key turning point for LGBT rights in America

just an update from when we talked to the reporter: we’ve now successfully connected over 100 families for direct, peer to peer rent adoption. we’ve collected and immediately distributed…a lot. it is a drop in the bucket, but all of this is. everyone is just doing what they can.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

The heads of Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, and Tesla all joined Trump at his inauguration. Since then, largely thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill, their companies have reaped $51B in federal tax breaks — paid for by huge cuts to our social safety net. This is what oligarchy looks like.

Another resistance quilt finished this week. The eye is my own design, the letters are a fpp pattern by QuiltByNight, the rounded corners and black binding are meant to resemble the phones we the people are using to document the horrors and disprove the government’s lies about what they are doing.

Javier Abreu-Vasquez had a kidney transplant in 2023. He was grabbed by ICE while delivering groceries to help his neighbours. They’re refusing to give him his anti rejection meds. Without them, he will lose the organ. This is how people die.

We’ve been following Leqaa Kordia’s case for some time, and the updates has been growing worse. Lawmakers were not allowed to visit her last month. Now her lawyers cannot find her.

Hey folks! Street Medics in Minneapolis have reached out to us asking for help boosting another wishlist! Everything on this list is going straight to Columbia Heights. (If you hate amazon, please visit www.standwithminnesota.com and find a different way to help! just help, that is what matters)

is that? no way

Can we learn anything from these kids?

@hcrichardson.bsky.social Thanks to HCR for making me aware of this video of the Coast Guard breaking through ICE! Gives me hope.

To recap the day: This morning one friend was harassed by masked/armed Fed agents for legally observing. This evening another friend was stabbed by a MAGA psycho. As I type this my wife is notarizing documents for people who are afraid of being kidnapped. This is not OK @governorwalz.mn.gov

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!

You shall not pass - la version 2025 de Sir Ian McKellen #ICE

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

I can haz @mostlybree.kitrocha.com whistles 🤩 (You can haz whistles too: www.etsy.com/listing/4449...)

Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left. It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too

A blackbird told me it was February (sound up for some much needed birdsong dopamine-these are my very favourite birdy notes):

LETS GO !!!
