“Collection of Handwritten Letters from Children in Detention Center” sounds like an exhibit in the Holocaust Museum.

Expert advice on treating tear gas and chemical irritant exposure to the eyes.

Too many flunked the open book project 2025 test.. Don’t flunk the open book Ring Camera test… Cancel that surveillance company

Remember, California just basically blew up the Republican party in this state so we're gonna see a LOT more of these rats pretend to have a sudden change of heart to keep getting that sweet, sweet lobby money. (And maybe get a few more jabs in at queer people on the side)

Children have been literally gunned down by mass shooters, and there was no attempt to ensure it wouldn’t happen again. I have little faith that anything will be done about the Epstein files. I have little faith that wealthy people will ever be held accountable for their atrocities.

Oh, dúvida cruel…

Her community rallied so fast and so diligently. This is a victory to uphold and celebrate. Reminds everyone that it's worth fighting back.

Jack Duffy attaches a respirator to his bagpipes to play through tear gas. “I always play it whenever the police retreat because it's like, ‘You fucking ran while we stayed,’” he says. The full story: lataco.com/protest-bagp... By Julianne Le

An airborne virus is a virus that can infect other people through unseen particles in the air, sometimes for hours after the sick person has left the area! Masks and clean, ventilated air can reduce the risk of getting sick from airborne viruses or infecting others.

Ah, Social Circle, Ga. — this is right near the Rivian EV assembly plant site. Lovely to see the sorts of jobs and activity MAGA would bring instead. Using a light-industrial site to house humans — who need, like, water and access to sewers — seems like a hell of a thing to try w/o planning.

If you put the words "LOCAL FOOL" in place of Elon Musk, the headlines make more sense. People who cover him should try it to see if it helps clear up their reporting. Local Fool Says He'll Build A Colony on Mars Local Fool Says AI Will Cure Cancer

“My brother in rice …” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Public comments needed! The admin wants to define grad programs in many "helping" fields (social work, nursing, teaching, etc) to no longer be "professional" degrees. This would mean major student loan restrictions: only $20,500/year. Tuition alone is often more. Please comment by March 2!

We are in a time where America is proud to be stupid and uncultured. They spent months complaining about Bad Bunny but not once looked up his lyrics or leaned about the Puerto Rican culture. Giving everyone a platform hurt this country in immeasurable ways.

If Bad Bunny was serious about uniting Americans, he would have given his Grammy to Donald Trump.

This all fucking day.

Early bet. Next year's Super Bowl halftime show is going to be a K-Pop group. It's the only way they can keep the momentum up while pissing off the GOP.

I wrote some reflections on what it feels like being Black in Maine during this ICE surge. open.substack.com/pub/shaystew...

“Black” is being flagged as a potentially prohibited word violating anti-DEI law at multiple Florida Universities. My interview this week with @grundrza.bsky.social documents his event being flagged because the flyer said “Black.” Racial authoritarianism is here, it’s just unequally distributed.

It's not even midnight and we're already at "Deport Elmo."

I’ve lost count of how many people lost their jobs simply for speaking up for Palestine. We can count on one finger how many people have gone to prison for child sex trafficking. We live in a corrupt system where condemning genocide is punishable but trafficking children is not.😐

The unnamed staffer that posted it is The Ghost of Boners Past.

Bad Bunny’s beautiful and joyful portrayal of Puerto Rico stands on the shoulders of Kendrick Lamar’s love letter to Compton last year. Watching the biggest performance in the world become a representation of real people in real, American places is beautiful. #SuperBowl

Jasmine Crockett: You’s a bad built, bleach blond butch body! White progressives: YASSS! Jasmine should run for president! She’s got the fire we need!!! Jasmine Crockett: I’m running for Senate in Texas. White progressives: Sitchoass down! No one is voting for you cuz you’re Black! Go sit down!

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

My first grader (a US citizen) came home from school crying because a friend from class (also a US citizen) hasn’t been coming to school because his parents (one of whom is not a citizen) are afraid of ICE. Little kids don’t have concepts of racism and xenophobia. That has to be taught. Or imposed.

Where is Jonathan Ross? A month ago he killed Renee Good. Is he on the streets, armed and ready to take more lives? Is he in a cushy office somewhere, living a good life off the taxpayer dime. Is he at a training facility, teaching feds to step in front of cars, kill, and say they were afraid?

If IT happens today ARE YOU PREPARED? Do you have a list of people to contact? Do you have a place to celebrate? A day time place, a night time place What are you going to eat what are you going to drink do you have enough for everyone Plan now bc you won’t be thinking clearly when it happens

I don’t get how you can run a news organization that has some responsibility to cover nearby events and not have a single photographer on staff. What will the Post do if, say, there’s a terror attack at the Mall? Pull screengrabs from social media? And if so, who verifies those?

Regardless of where you might be on the spectrum that doesn't discount your abilities or your drive. Ensuring and understanding society for all is important for everyone. #AutismSunday

One thing everyone can do in their own lives is shun MAGA. Shunning = non-violent protest. Bovino getting tossed out of a Las Vegas bar is "shunning". Posting signs in your stores, restaurants, bars that ICE is not welcome is effective shunning. Everyone can do this. #ShunMAGA

In light of Trump’s post yesterday, some history: “On Memorial Day 1927, 1,000 white-robed Klansmen marched through the Jamaica neighborhood, eventually spurring an all-out brawl in which seven men were arrested. One of those arrested was Fred Trump.” www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix...

EVERYONE should read this. GIFT ARTICLE They're setting the stage for Midterm voting to be seized. 👇 www.nytimes.com/article/trum...

For Black History Month, I want to bring attention to who is considered to be the first Black superhero, and that’s Lionman. He debuted in Philadelphia’s “All Negro Comics” in mid 1947. ANC is the first comic written and drawn solely by Black writers and artists. Edited by Orrin Cromwell Evans.

The Trump administration has been a full-on assault on blackness from day one, something that the press has virtually no interest in. To this day, they're still doing "Trump voters in a diner" reporting, only able to process his presidency through how it is making white people feel.

February is recognized as Black Dog and Cat Syndrome Awareness Month, a campaign dedicated to highlighting that black pets in shelters are often overlooked for adoption. This phenomenon is driven by misconceptions, myths, and difficulty in photographing them. Please don't forget them. #dogsofbluesky

I read the “SAVE Act” (the GOP’s new voter suppression bill) so you don’t have to. This is my one page summary. Jesus it’s bad. 1/

Canada’s new consulate in Nuuk is now officially open — a major commitment under our Arctic Foreign Policy. As strategic competition increases in the Arctic, Canada is standing with our Arctic partners to advance stability, security, and shared interests in the North.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Very much worth reading if you serve a god, ANY god, other than MAGA Jesus.

Maybe someone else, but they aren't doing this in MY name.

What a day in America when Al Jazeera has to post about government censorship in the United States!
