Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license. This is pure cruelty. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...

Laura Fine and Daniel Biss started fighting with each other about AIPAC funding and Kat just looks directly to camera with the biggest shit eating grin on her face.

Rep. Delia Ramirez met face to face with Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Wednesday in a combative closed-door meeting in Washington and told her in no uncertain terms — twice — that she’ll work to impeach her.

Transphobia is an astroturfed moral panic invented from whole cloth by people on the Epstein list

He's actually posting about the crosswalks and bus stops they've cleared. This could've been us! 😭

Ran into transit champ and @bscactionfund.org endorsed candidate @jamesforillinois.bsky.social handing out lit this morning!

Meta is trying to take down @runforsomething.net candidate @miguelfor40.bsky.social - they're spending big to buy his opponent for an IL state house seat. Expect to see more of this in the future - complete with the "made by a person" disclaimer at the end. www.instagram.com/reels/DVIRnS...

Hey at least Brandon Johnson named a plow something he has no power to do. You know what he does have the power to do? He could *just do* the #PlowTheSidewalks pilot! He has made the willful choice to not.

Shantel Franklin, running for ILHD-08, has also had the police called on her numerous times during this campaign cycle. This has to stop. I don't know how to hold my people accountable en masse, but white fear is putting Black progressives in danger.

RIP to the late pickups at doggy daycare. They only offered them for about 6 weeks before cutting the program, but oh what a 6 weeks they were.

“I learn more on X,” he said, oozing slowly to the floor in the manner of any number of gelatinous invertebrates

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing people local newspaper reporters are rarified elites instead of ink-stained wretches driving their Honda Civic to a crime scene so you know don’t have to rely on Nextdoor and the police press release.

I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.

If Fabletics let you just browse and buy their products without taking a survey and setting up a customer profile, I almost certainly would've bought something from the KeKe Palmer collection they keep advertising to me. I guess their bizarre system is good for my wallet.

It’s very hard to explain how bad things are in Minneapolis and greater Minnesota right now.

The algorithm keeps putting baby Punch content on my feed and it's awful. Constantly seeing the abandoned monkey whose only comfort is a stuffed animal is fucking bleak, actually.

I consider this to be the most egregious plot hole in Lord of the Rings and I'm so glad I'm not the only one who feels this way.

I’ve been a public servant my whole career and fought against big money interests time and time again. This campaign is no different. Don’t let Adam Braun and his endless advertisements fool you.

I spy my friend @slackermom.bsky.social!

Pritzker defending the People Over Parking Act in his state of the state!

Publicists who represented Johnny Depp during his 2022 trial against Amber Heard charged Jeffrey Epstein five figures a month for representation during 2017, according to invoices in the Epstein Files. Their PR strategies for Epstein reflect the later MeToo backlash. spitfirenews.com/p/epstein-jo...

I would personally not describe a press conference condemning the extremist pro-Israel hate group that funds your campaign as “mansplaining” but maybe that’s because I have a shred of dignity

My impression growing up outside and then in the city was that everyone, in every community, had a complicated view of him: that his ambitions were sky-high but his heart immense, that he always knew where the cameras were but also where the fight was, and he would take the cameras to the fight

Fascinating chart with one outlier: Warren Buffett. At the low end, giving 0.06% of one's wealth is equivalent to: Net worth -> Lifetime Giving 50K->$30 100K->$60 500K->$300 $1M->$600 Most folks give far more by % in a *single year*. www.forbes.com/sites/forbes...

This is why I don't understand the pushback. Parking is still allowed! It's just not mandated.

Bribing elected officials is illegal but bribing the front desk staff at doggy daycare is probably more beneficial to my overall quality of life and won't lead to jail time.

Finally watched Frankenstein; a stressful, sad, beautiful movie.

NEW: Meet the private-equity firm -- and its billionaire immigrant CEO -- making millions off some of ICE's cruelest deportation flights. After a five-month investigation, my story for @motherjones.com: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

"Kordia has been held at the Prairieland detention facility in Texas since then, despite a judge twice ruling that she poses no threat and may be released on bond." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon. Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

At 9:18, 3rd period of the Finland-Switzerland women's ice hockey QF game, the ice crew came to clean the ice during a pause What follows is the funniest use of the slo-mo alternate angle tech I've seen them use during these Olympics of one of the crew members falling

The number of people I've seen today carrying bouquets today makes me so happy. The Valentine's Day gesture that never goes out of style.

Was really looking forward to the first ride on my bike for the season, only to discover my battery isn't charging. 😢

So many people are being disappeared it’s hard to fathom.

Anyone currently involved in federal immigration enforcement, every officer, every bureaucrat, every lawyer, every judge, is a member of the most evil group of people this country has seen since Reconstruction. Darkness personified, every one. Doing this to children is beyond depraved.

“Though Black women only account for about 14% of the workforce, they represented over half of all women’s job losses during the U.S. employment market’s most volatile months in 2025, like March, April, June, and December.”

The Justice Dem endorsement graphics look like Olympics promo images. Which begs the question, if @katmabu.bsky.social was in the winter games, which sport would she be competing in?

This is a pogrom

All the jobs I'm interested in applying for have unique short answer questions I need to fill out. An incredibly time consuming ask when it's probable I won't even get interviewed. It does shine some light on why people use LLMs to apply for things.

he was auctioning off memorabilia in order to try and afford treatment and now he's gone. fuck cancer for sure, but double fuck our broken healthcare system. you deserved better, james. i am so sorry.

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.

We have received numerous credible reports of torture, killing, and inhumane treatment of detained individuals at the Camp East Montana migrant detention facility, located within Fort Bliss. #txlege

I’m convinced that we need to make people who claim to be billionaires put their assets on the table. Demonstrate the wealth they claim to have. Because most of them are cash poor, terrible credit risks, mostly own stock/interest in each other’s ventures, and liquidation would tank the whole market.

The only good news here is that this absolute travesty of a bill is on hold. The fact that it was even proposed is a staggering feat of car brain. Not to mention a terrible economic move for a state with a massive and beloved annual bike ride.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Is CTU gonna rescind their endorsement or...?

Working in the office today and all anybody is talking about is the Bad Bunny Bowl.

Look, all I'm saying is that if you just spent the last six years being frustrated with Durbin and you think there's a chance he's about to be replaced with a guy who thanks ICE for their service and takes AIPAC and crypto money, you should treat it like a very serious emergency
