It was great joining Njideka Akunyili Crosby—a gifted Nigerian-born, Los Angeles-based artist—to unveil our first portrait together. This piece reflects so many chapters of Michelle and my story, and we’re thrilled that it will be on display at the Obama Presidential Center starting this Juneteenth.

Trump 90 days ago: "Operation Epic Fury — is that a great name? It's only a great name if you win. And we've won. Let me tell you, we've won. You never like to say too early you won — we won. We won. In the first hour it was over. We won."

60 Minutes' Sharyn Alfonsi pens a goodbye note slamming Bari Weiss' actions against her "as a deliberate choice to penalize a journalist for refusing to sanitize factually accurate reporting." Read the rest:

I’m Olivia Troye. I'm not connected or wealthy, no famous last name — but I served in the Trump Administration and couldn’t stay silent. So I resigned in 2020 after seeing corruption. To stop Trump we need a Congress that will hold him accountable. That’s why I’m running.

HOW EMBARASSING! Pete Hegseth quoted a fake Bible verse from Pulp Fiction during a Pentagon sermon. 🤣🤣

Absolutely remarkable statement from Pope Leo today. One for the history books www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

Last year, Dr. Ezequiel Véliz was named 2025 Resident of the Year at UT Health, Rio Grande Valley. Last week, ICE detained him in McAllen, Texas—ripping him away from his family, his life, and his patients.

Fuck ICE. Fuck Trump. Share this story and vote in November.👇

The people of Iran aren’t free. Iran can now charge tolls. The nuclear material sits EXACTLY where it did, in the same amount, since June. The regime is still in place with a younger ayatollah. Iran still was launching missiles, now with more money to rebuild. Period

Repost this one for me please

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth removed two Black and two female officers from a promotion list for Army general. The move is highly unusual, and it has spurred allegations of racial and gender bias. nyti.ms/4sFGtGm

Keep 'em coming

Are you a married woman who enjoys exercising your constitutional right to vote? This afternoon, Senate Republicans and Trump hope to make it much harder for you. Call your senator and tell them to vote NO on the "SAVE" Act. act.indivisible.org/sign/stop-go...

Senator @vanhollen.senate.gov on Iran war: “Netanyahu said he’s been waiting 40 years to launch this attack and he finally found an American president stupid enough and reckless enough to do it.” He nailed it. Repost if you agree with him that he has no plan to protect our troops or get us out!

Laura Fucking Loomer flew to India. Before she left she deleted THOUSANDS of anti-Indian tweets. Every single one. Scrubbed. Gone. She thought nobody would notice. An Indian uncle with a phone and a LONG memory noticed. He read them back to her. Every one. On camera. In her face. 🧵💀🎤

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

@markhertling.bsky.social reflects with @stephruhle.bsky.social on the cost of war as the U.S.-Israel conflict against Iran unfolds. "The thing that has been recurring in my mind is a lack of seriousness and understanding of what happens when you put America's sons and daughters into harms way."

“EXCLUSIVE: I’m the Palestinian Who Has Been in ICE Detention for Almost a Year” Writing for Zeteo from inside of prison on International Women’s Day, Leqaa Kordia asks us not to forget the female detainees being held and mistreated in ICE detention camps.

Please share.

“In less than a year, DHS has attacked the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th, 10th, 14th amendments to the US Constitution, the writ of habeas corpus, the independent judiciary, and much more,” states David Bier before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee. Read full testimony: https://ow.ly/z2aT50Yfcri

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

Today’s ruling was a victory for free speech, but don’t expect Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth to give up. We have to keep standing up to this Administration when they undermine Americans’ rights.

It's appropriate on #BlackHistoryMonth we uplift Kevin's voice. He's been a Jamaican H2A worker for the last 10 yrs & is excited over the implementation of his UFW contract at NYs Wafler Farms. He's looking forward to getting the benefits his contract provides. #UnionsForAll

Ocasio gang rise up 🙌🏽🇵🇷

Bad Bunny “together we are America”

In December, I told you about how Trump’s Department of Education is stripping nurses of our professional status and making school more expensive. From now until March 2, we need you to raise your voice and submit a public comment: www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

The Winter Olympics start today, and we will feel pride and honor for our country. But when we see our criminal, delusional President, we feel none of those things. I’ve faced off with him before, and now I’m ready to take him on in Congress.

The Wright Museums Instagram page is HILARIOUS. Think The Office but it's the staff at a Museum for Black History. Better believe this is on my list of places to visit. Gentle Spades "I'm a veteran"

This moment is bringing out the best in some of us (like this speaker) and bringing out the worst in others of us. This is a time for choosing to live a life that you're proud of, or not. ❤️

Every American needs to watch this:

Minnesota needs to know the number of children in federal detention, who they are, and where they’re being held.

Liam Conejo Ramos is not alone. (gift link) www.nytimes.com/2026/02/01/o...

My first remarks since being arrested last night.

Hey, #Lawsky, anyone know a Victim's rights lawyer who practices in MA? Friend knows someone in serious need. Relatively urgent

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Donald Trump must fire Kristi Noem immediately. Or Democrats will initiate impeachment proceedings against her in the House. We can do this the easy way or the hard way.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

We need everyone we can get in this fight against a fascist takeover. If your first instinct to someone being politically mobilized by all this is to give them a sneering "well, what took you so long?" you don't actually care about our winning this; you just want to be able to say you were right.

I implore you to keep them alive in our collective consciousness and memory. Give them their voices, show their faces. The lives of Alex Pretti and Renee Good were ripped away by ICE monsters. Don't let this fade into the background! Please share! #StopTheMadness #StopTrump #StopICE #resist 👊🏼

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

Trump and his allies are already smearing Alex Pretti’s name instead of confronting the truth. Veterans who served our country and lived because of the VA are outraged. Alex was a VA nurse and hero, not a villain. Stay informed. Join the fight. Follow @saveamericamvmt.bsky.social

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

This statement from an eyewitness to the Minnesota murder of Mr. Pretti is gut wrenching, from beginning to end. Please disseminate it as you see fit. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

trumpers defend a kid like Kyle Rittenhouse with an AR-15 going to another state to shoot, but freak out about a U.S. citizen Alex Pretti with a concealed carry permit who never fired a shot before ICE agents pepper sprayed and killed him. Make it make sense.
