UPDATE: I’ve been at the Northwest Detention Facility for over 3 hours and am still being denied my congressional duty to conduct oversight. What are they so afraid of that they won't let me meet with detainees? I will not give up.

Congrats to BART rider and Oakland legend Alysa Liu on winning a gold medal at the Olympics and making the Bay Area proud!

Everybody knows @markwarner.bsky.social is a sniveling shill for fascist crypto billionaires. But what this @sludge.bsky.social report presupposes is: what if he was also a sniveling shill for fascist panopticon billionaires, too?

If they force us to choose between calling for the resignation of imbecilic bigots or normalizing hateful religious incitement, that’s not a tough one. This fanatic should spare his constituents any further embarrassment and resign.

So THAT’S why the sunrise looked like it does when there’s smoke from forest fires in the air?! The sun shouldn’t be this colour this high above the horizon. I’d never seen fog do that before.

Some fun news to read right after the Trump administration announced it wouldn't be taking health costs into account when regulating air pollution www.sciencealert.com/the-link-bet...

The key fact here is that human beings are organic, temporary animals, mammals, whose intellectual capacity is uh *informed* by those characteristics Machines don't share our predicament; they are calculators that can speed certain things up, but nothing they 'say' in language will ever matter

Calling the requirement for a judicial warrant before entering a person’s home one of the Democrats’ “new restrictions on federal immigration agents” crosses the line into outright falsehood. It’s in the Bill of Rights! A rule as old as the republic.

“peter you’ve wasted your money” no i haven’t. i did this for each and every one of you, and you’re all worth it.

All of the companies selling properties to ICE have names. For instance, the company who sold a warehouse in San Antonio to ICE for their concentration camp here is called Oakmont Industrial Group out of Atlanta, GA and the members of their board are publicly available on LinkedIn. Thanks.

Holy moly: Seattle’s millionaire tax, passed last year, is expected to bring in $115 million in its 1st year, way more than the $50 million anticipated. The funds will go to the city’s new social housing developer publicola.com/2026/02/11/t... (Is NY Gov Hochul paying attention?)

if one of my henchmen started a sentence with "i think—" i would like to believe i'd be the kind of boss that goes "oh you're thinkin now huh? that's good!" and not the kind who snaps "i don't pay you to think!" but you never know how the pressure is going to affect you in the moment.

For my money, the way thousands of regular people are self-organizing to resist data centers is one of the most cautiously hopeful stories going right now. www.themountaineer.com/news/no-cryp...

The only biosphere in the known universe capable of supporting human life is being turned into a hell planet because most of Earth's governments refuse to stop trying to satisfy the insatiable greed of a plutocracy composed of people who already have more money than they could spend in 20 lifetimes.

Growing evidence points to link between autism and wildfire smoke

Too often when discussing trans rights, we’re forced to be on the defensive, as Republicans wage attacks. Today, we take the opportunity to look forward by introducing my Trans Bill of Rights, a comprehensive vision to provide protections for all trans and nonbinary people.

"Fight against being ass" is a message that more people need to receive, tbh

Maybe it's a dramatic headline but I'm right www.thetransferflow.com/p/thomas-fra...

Lieu plays Bondi the infamous clip of Trump & Epstein partying together & asks her if there were underaged girls at any party the two attended "This is so ridiculous," Bondi says. "There's no evidence that Donald Trump has committed a crime" "I believe you just lied under oath," Lieu replies

One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.

this is incredibly frustrating. By framing this as a policy demand Dems are aiding a disinformation campaign that is intended to confuse the public about what is constitutionally required.

FYI. Have a documented Canadian ancestor? You can get citizenship.

They're building concentration camps with my tax money Chuck. They're torturing children. They're murdering innocent people on the street. What are you doing.

cars may kill a lot of people everyday but at least they are also very expensive and insanely inefficient means of getting around

“Thank you for your payment” go to hell

I have yet to see any evidence that there is a market for AI-generated books outside of people being tricked into thinking they are not AI-generated books. AKA, it is a project of scamming and deceiving people, and really should be treated as fraud

Starting a rumor that eating a billionaire gives you the power of flight

you’d think, given that current events are unfortunately definitely going to be taught as a notable part of US history, democrats would have some interest in not being recorded as stuttering dweebs who spent the whole time shoved in a metaphorical locker
