And yet Elon Musk just got a pay package worth $1 trillion. Still don't think American capitalism is off the rails?

Suddenly republicans have forgotten what the constitution says 🤷🏼 🇺🇸

After just a few short weeks, our effort to impeach Kristi Noem is already close to success. You did that. Now let’s keep up the pressure. Tell loser Mike Johnson and the rest of the cowards in Congress we’re not stopping until they finish the job:

China’s AI models are world-class. Yet revenue from Chinese consumers and businesses is negligible. Difficult times lie ahead

I wish all MAGAs would come to this realization. If they did, Trump could be removed from office. 🙏

Trump isn’t rethinking gun policy. He’s reassigning blame so ICE agents don’t have to face consequences.

Stephen Miller is a pathological liar with a lot of blood on his hands trying to create an alternate reality where the bad guys are the good guys. Don’t let him. Keep telling the truth.

Wonderful to see David Lynch's THE ELEPHANT MAN at BFI. It's a masterclass in cinematic empathy, gliding between the POVs of John Merrick's exploiters, spectators and doctors, and of Merrick himself. It dares us to look away, and asks us to keep looking, not just at John but into our own hearts.

"Our new analysis shows that it is far more dangerous to be pregnant than to have an abortion, and this gap in mortality risk is even larger than previously recognized.” - lead study author Maria Steenland. In fact, the mortality risk of pregnancy is 44 to 70 times higher than from abortion.

Our understanding of the Universe is stronger because of Bill Nye’s remarkable leadership and advocacy. Thank you, Bill, for your 15 years leading the Planetary Society, and I look forward to continuing to work with you to advance science and space exploration!🚀✨ pasadenanow.com/main/bill-ny...

Throw back to Jan 2023, a couple weeks after we brought Jimi home and Fenton was still wondering wtf he was supposed to do with him 😂

Read @people.com's story of the Tarabishis to the bottom. Then just sit with it for a few minutes and ask yourself what we, as a country, stand for right now. people.com/ice-denies-d...

The latest round of terminations follows another mass layoff by the company in October last year, where around 14,000 workers were let go.

Had somehow never even heard of the book "Song of Spider-Man: The Inside Story of the Most Controversial Musical in Broadway History" (2013). A fascinating comedy of errors that scratched so many of my niches. And it was ALL thanks to some guy from Derrinturn, Co. Kildare!

A member of Congress was attacked and Trump’s response was a conspiracy

Does anyone remember a viral graph that went around showing Bluesky's user growth since its earliest days, annotated with Elon Musk Events, etc.? (And can you paste it in the replies?) @faineg.bsky.social @jcsalterego.bsky.social @retr0.id

Where TF are the #Epstein Files⁉️ #JV1⚖️

The more you know! Bartenders of Minnesota, don’t cut off ICE Agents…

Forty years ago, today, the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded in mid air after being launched, killing all 7 crew members; one was a school teacher. It was a sad day for space travel & history. www.yahoo.com/news/us/arti...

“To you this is murder?” “Yes. I know it is. — People are feeling like there’s nobody here to help us. What can we do? The constitution doesn’t seem to matter.” She witnessed the killing of Alex Pretti, now she is bravely coming forward. Stella is the best of us. 🇺🇸

Wonder if Reform UK’s Matt Goodwin remembers this.

Donald Trump predicted his own death, saying that “he won’t be here in 10 years.” No shit. He also predicted that he’s not heaven-bound, adding that he “doesn’t qualify.” Again, no shit. He’s thinking about his own demise almost constantly. Of course, so are we.

CEOs of Minnesota companies, including Target and Hormel, say they're pushing against ICE's occupation. But their industry trade groups actively lobbied for Trump's Big Ugly Bill, which boosted ICE's budget by $75B. Corporate America will not save us.

DAILY MEMO: Border Patrol Attack and Follow Community Watchers Home While We See A New Raid Approach Unfold @eltragon.bsky.social

“I watched him die… then I watched them maneuver his body like a rag doll— only to discover it was because they wanted to count the bullet wounds and see how many they ‘got’, like he was a deer.”

The City of Philadelphia has introduced legislation to limited ICE in the city. The Federal Agents can not be masked, must have ID visible, must have arrested warrants signed by federal judges. They can't attack people. If they can't do this, they will be arrested. youtu.be/i5Yvg_HHfbE?...

Today, Rep. Castro and I visited precious Liam and his father, Adrian, at the Dilley Detention Center. My heart absolutely breaks for Liam, his family, and every person being wrongfully detained.

SENATOR WARREN: “I am a hell no.”

If you live in Oregon especially outside of Portland. Please contact your state representative asap. #BikeBus should be all over the state & this Safe Routes to School funding helps make that happen.

Karoline Leavitt pressed on Stephen Miller smear, gives no answer

Seems painfully obvious Trump will ignore all of these. #AbolishICE Also— the murders of Renee Good & Alex Pretti were on camera. Yes body cameras are good but that has not stopped them.

Victor Wembanyama says that being a foreigner in the United States makes him hesitant to speak up about Minneapolis. “I know I’m a foreigner. I live in this country. I am concerned.” Q: “Is part of your hesitance being a foreigner?” “For sure.”

An ICE agent threatened a legal observer for speaking, and that is exactly what authoritarianism looks like in real time.

All Senate Democrats (and independents) must vote tomorrow against the DHS appropriations bill. Please call your senators today and say NO more funding for ICE: 202-224-3121. Here's more about what you should know: https://robertreich.substack.com/p/dems-must-stop-ice-funding-heres

This is Ranger. He was at a grooming appointment when it suddenly became a yoga session as well. Fortunately, he is an excellent multitasker. 13/10 (IG: thegoldenboyranger)

Maher Tarabishi was detained in October during a scheduled check-in at an ICE facility. He was the primary caretaker of his son, who died last week. The family is seeking Maher's release so he can attend his son's funeral. ICE reportedly denied the request. Unimaginable cruelty.
