When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means

Health care workers want ICE out of hospitals, and blue states are responding ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/02/10/r...

Country Singer, songwriter Charley Crockett well said......

Yikes

There doesn’t seem to be anything he won’t f’up.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Excellent read!

There are a growing number of reports of agents impersonating construction workers, delivery drivers & anti-ICE activists, heightening fears in the state. That's deceptive & unconstitutional, because they use trickery to get around warrant & consent protections.

Admitting the 2024 one was?

#MorningVibe @optimisticsoap.bsky.social is all about resisting & taking care of ourselves. We can fight and we can live. We can show up for each other and protect our joy. And while you’re at it, check out optimisticsoap.com/links.

Looks ominous but is sleepy 💤❤️ #snoozySunday #tortitude #tortoiseshellcats #torties #catsofbluesky

I can’t emphasize this enough!!!

We need a petition. This is absolutely disgusting‼️

We are pleased to announce our cooperation with Ukraine to further scientific research and military capability. The Russians may have coerced dolphins, but we freely work with Ukraine in the name of science and democracy.

Every American needs to watch this:

So, so good together!!!

🚨Status Coup News just ended their Livestream in Minneapolis. They said that the ICE raids have NOT slowed down at all. They are documenting them daily. We cannot listen to Tom Homan when he feeds us the illusion that they are stepping back at all. We must keep the pressure HIGH on ICE. #FUCKICE

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/

In a democracy, we are supposed to feel like we have control over our lives because the people control the government. But in the U.S., people feel like our lives are out of control because the people don’t control the federal government.

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

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...

Question for those knowledgeable in early US history: was the original expectation for states to be so loosely under the federal umbrella that this and what Gov Newsom is doing with climate meetings (etc.) would be the norm?

UW-Madison campus health officials have scheduled a child vaccination clinic on Saturday at Holzman Learning Center. The clinic will offer FREE doses of the MMR vaccine that prevents measles, as well as several other vaccines. Families are encouraged to make an appointment ahead of time.

Exactly right. Miles just laid it out plainly and suddenly the story snapped into focus. When the facts line up this cleanly, the denial doesn’t matter. This is why independent reporting still scares the hell out of them.

Wait! The public face of nationwide immigration enforcement, Gregory Bovino, said in a newly discovered email that his boss wasn’t the head of CBP. He reported to Corey Lewandowski instead. He’s a political operative with zero law-enforcement background calling the shots on immigration enforcement.

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!

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

If you adopted, as your guiding heuristic, "not a single voter knows a single thing about policy or politics," you wouldn't be entirely accurate, but you would be closer to the truth than the impression most people who follow politics have.

I hope you will share this. It’s a message about Minnesota that ICE and MAGAs need to hear. (It can also be shared on any streaming platform.) NEW: Lyrics below in thread.

I’ll never get tired of handing a book over to someone who is so excited to get it that they subconsciously hug it to their chest lol ❤️

Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse at VA hospital in Minneapolis, was killed by officers of the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol last month. He is being memorialized nationwide, but chaplains at VA facilities in MA have been barred from mentioning his name -- or even counseling nurses. bit.ly/SilencingVAc...

Couldn't be prouder of Bad Bunny

They don’t care about citizenship or the law. How does anyone know what nefarious purposes these people want her for. Terrifying!

Hey #writers, who'd be up for doing a workshop to raise some funds for Minnesota charities? @alexpenname.bsky.social and I are putting something together. Repost and spread the word, please!

“Dear ICE agents - I hope you’re respectful to everyone and show kindness… we should treat all people the same, even if we don’t know them.” If this doesn’t shatter your heart you don’t have one. 💔 Our kids are watching. 🇺🇸 www.nytimes.com/2026/01/31/o...
