According to eyewitnesses, armed ICE agents dragged kids out of their beds in the middle of the night, zip tied them and put them in rented vans while raiding an * entire apartment building* on the South Side of Chicago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOXO...

WATCH: “The president and DOJ just deleted the study from the website.” @jwilliamj8.bsky.social & @thejaampod.bsky.social crew note Trump’s DOJ conspicuously deleted a study that shows far-right extremist violence is actually far more prevalent. (Backed up by CATO, Grok, etc)

This is the most inept administration to let the government shut down. Is it because then there will not be a vote to release the Epstein files? This regime is holding us hostage and Mike Johnson is enabling it to the detriment of Americans! We deserve better than this! #ThisIsTrumpsShutdown

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

So let me get this straight...

We traded Europe for a guy that builds concentration camps for profit.

Dismantling the Department of Education has nothing to do with improving outcomes for our kids, it’s simply about taking away resources from our public schools.

Wave my magic wand: I wish Lego instructions indicated on their parts list which parts are completely interior and can be subbed for a different color. I have tons of loose bricks. I don't want to order specific colors if I don't need to.

Could not agree more. The Prez & VP are shameful, embarrassing Putin puppets & a disgrace to our country. 🤮 #SlavaUkraine 🇺🇦

🔥🔥🔥 Former Vikings punter Chris Kluwe was arrested for civil disobedience after speaking against a MAGA display that the city council of Huntington Beach agreed to put up at the public library…..that’s what’s up….every word👇

Free school meals has saved MN families $267.8 million in its first year — including many who needed help, but just missed qualifying in the past. As St. Paul teacher Mandi Jung points out, feeding kids is also just the right thing to do. Hungry students can’t learn. #mnleg #edmnvotes

Today I built some Lego: 40813 Lucky Cat, 10344 Lucky Bamboo, and 80117 Good Fortune.

If you call a concentration camp a "detention center," it's still a concentration camp. Just like if you call the Gulf of Mexico, the "Gulf of America," it's still the Gulf of Mexico.

It's International Lego Day! Unwinding after work with this addition for my city.

BREAKING: The Department of Veterans Affairs has CANCELLED SUICIDE PREVENTION TRAINING because it includes considerations for the LGBTQ+ community. Veterans suicide.

This is what Project 2025 looks like.

That AlienEarth ad just gave me motion sickness.

Sunday night knitting 🧶 plus football 🏈

Decades of confirmation hearings where women testify to abuse and sexual violence, only for the men in question to rise to higher positions of power, is a perfect encapsulation of why more victims don’t come forward.

So how’s it going so far?

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

Had an awesome time chatting with Jon Stewart & @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social talking about how to fight the dumpster fire. Gear up. It’s time to brawl.

This is absolutely chilling. He truly is a sociopath.

Today was a hard day. The effects of the EOs are starting. All I could do was try to find info, contact attorneys, hold space, and listen. Then I went home and cried and lost myself in some MCU. This timeline sucks.
