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.

Ridiculously true. Worst response I’ve received? “Count yourself lucky.”

Don’t post much beyond politics and the whole world is going to shit type of stuff… but I’m lucky as hell to walk thru the fire with this guy. Happy Valentine’s @crackinwax.com

Pregnant immigrants in Minnesota have been postponing their abortions, skipping aftercare, and delaying birth control visits and urgent cancer screening follow-ups to avoid coming in contact with federal immigration agents.

You can expect authoritarian violence at the US #Midterms. Be prepared.

Not a single one of ID representatives can articulate how women are supposed to vote in the election. "Read the SAVE Act to find out what documentation is accepted" Guess what? Marriage certs are not one of the docs. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO VOTE?

The funny thing about that show? Not a word of it was in English, but it was one of the more patriotic halftime shows I’ve seen. “The only thing more powerful than hate is love” “Together, we are America”

Points for the filings but you really should think of the planet and eschew the man-made bowl: just beaver that wood right off the source

I find I can forgive people for not knowing some awful thing about people or groups who, upon finding out, leave. I find I no longer am so gracious as to forgive those who do know and willfully engage anyway. Epstein "colleagues" who knew and persisted? No. People who join RW groups knowingly? No.

Break out the Vaseline-smeared lenses, dead eyes, and sincerely questionable turtlenecks. God damn cockroaches…

I LOVE that my feed is as follows: EFF ICE, puppies, plants, EFF TRUMP, cats, artwork, EFF BEZOS, Gen Zers quoting Rage, Container Gardening. So a beautiful SCREAMING-PEACE loop 💙

loved every second of Bad Bunny. That message of inclusion and a celebration of cultures like Puerto Rico’s is just what America needs right now. Plus, his music just gets you in motion. 10/10

If you didn’t catch the significance of the exploding transformers in Bad Bunny’s halftime show, I gotcha. Here’s one of a bunch of pieces I wrote from/on Puerto Rico about the crisis—and Trump’s role in it. slate.com/news-and-pol...

FOR REAL!! ✊🏼

A reminder to the haters it takes this many states to outnumber the American citizens in Puerto Rico (~3.5m v. ~3.2m)

This week a whole bunch of Gen X and Gen Z magas belatedly discovered that Rage Against The Machine, Tommy Lee and Green Day are anti-establishment and pretty hardcore anti-fascist, which would have been perfectly obvious the whole time had they taken two seconds to think about it lol.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

“Renee was not the first person killed, and she was not the last,” Becca Good said. “You know my wife’s name and you know Alex’s name, but there are many others in this city being harmed that you don’t know — their families are hurting just like mine, even if they don’t look like mine.”

I will never get over this loss.

Ossoff: "You're seeing what I'm seeing, right? The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."

Truly- get your poop in a group with this round for sure 💙

Being a professional chef is a trip- when strangers find out your position, they either tell you they stink at cooking OR they tell you they’re a “foodie” and proceed to make you concerned for their family’s safety 🤣Like Ma’am!!

🗣️

OBAMA: “People make excuses for him. They say he’s not serious. Everything a president says is serious!”🔥

NBC is editing out JD Vance being booed at the Olympics. CBS and ABC paid millions in bogus settlements to fund Trump. CNN made Scott Jennings a rightwing star. The Washington Post just laid off 300 journalists. Support independent media. Subscribe to Democracy Docket. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Waiting for a train in union station (Chicago)- this place has been playing a massive collection of mom-rock…If I Could Turn Back Time just started and people cheered 🤣✊🏼❤️

The People of Minneapolis Will Simply Not Let the ICE Thugs Prevail newrepublic.com/article/2060... via @newrepublic.com

Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.

That‘s the spirit.

Bacterial meningitis is spreading among children in Gaza, including those who are vaccinated. Officials say conditions in Gaza's displacement camps, widespread malnutrition, and Israeli bans on the entry of medicines are increasing the deadly risk.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Anyone else see Lizzo’s #epstein statement? JFC- the false equivalency is duh-EEP and is Vanessa Hudgens’ Covid-response adjacent. WOOF and g’bye.

I want to laugh at it but sadly it’s true.

I was going to say, "Tom, pick a lane.". but he already has, and it's NOT Minnesota.

I’m currently traveling for work in Tampa- when people ask where I’m from, I’ve said Minneapolis- no one yet was aware of how bad it is. I’ve talked to people from TX, MS, OH, and FLA. They’ve been stunned.

"Four hours after his arrest, he was taken to a hospital emergency room in Edina with swelling and bruising around his right eye and bleeding. A CT scan revealed at least eight skull fractures and life-threatening hemorrhages in at least five areas of his brain..." apnews.com/article/immi...

A reminder that the New England Patriots plane is flown by Omni air who contracts with ICE to fly people in chains to Africa and Asia several times per week. Go Seahawks.

I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here. (clip via MPR and @davidjbier.bsky.social on X)

I think not enough white people are taking the voting rights issues seriously enough. They are killing people and then offering to stop killing if the state gives up the voter registration data. This should be setting off massive alarms for EVERYONE. (I’m looking at you, white people.)

Seems like a good video for his trial

Ilhan Omar is an American hero. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

Disappointing to see people on here talking about their ideal ICE/CBP reforms. It is a terrorism organization that is conducting terror campaigns. Abolish. At minimum. That's it.
