Legal asylum seeker, no criminal record, working two jobs, dragged out of smashed car and kidnapped by ICE as his US citizen newborn cries in a car seat in the freezing cold in Maine and his wife who barely speaks English pleads for help. WTAF

More weak shit from the NYT: "Federal officials described both victims as 'domestic terrorists' ... critics of the administration, and many others, said such a description was belied by the video evidence." CALL OUT THE LIES damnit. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/27/u...

@thebrianlehrershow.bsky.social Please correct the attorney - Lake Michigan is the only Great Lake wholly within US borders. She should’ve referenced Lake Superior sharing a border with Canada.

Which brave Cava employee is going to grab a giant stack of bags for people to wave at Homan?

This picture broke me, but the description of this kidnapping by a witness who says ICE referred to this precious child as “it” as they took him away fills me with an unspeakable, murderous rage.

Also, eugenicist implications aside: "If you're sick, you can't work" is a profoundly twisted statement from an administration that is actively dismantling public health and people's access to health insurance in this country.

This is a hell NO! He just became a Dem so he can try to win this seat. CA 26 beware! He’s a total MAGA! This may be Republicans new game to win seats. Please know who you’re voting for.

I first noticed @marisakabas.bsky.social's byline a few years ago, when she interviewed the Kansas editor whose home was raided by cops. I don't know of any independent, solo journalist who does--as she did here--more actual reporting, as contrasted to bullshitting, about big news events. 1/2

Again, I’m going to keep banging the drum that the fact we are threatening the territorial sovereignty of our closest allies is not only a gross violation of our UN & NATO treaty obligations & poses a massive threat to national security & world order but also should immediately end this presidency.

Almost the entirety of Greenland was in the streets protesting Donald Trump. I don’t remember record breaking protests taking place around the world when Joe Biden was President. I do remember paying less for groceries.

BREAKING: Senate Republicans just blocked the clean ACA tax credit extension that the House passed to save millions of people thousands of dollars each. If you’re paying double or even triple for health insurance, blame Trump and the Senate GOP.

Are you turning 18 this year before November 3rd? Do you hate what ICE is doing? Then register to vote, make a plan to vote, and VOTE by Election Day. You can change how this story ends. #turning18 #registertovote

Frost: For so long, the right wing has held up patriotism as a vibe, as an aesthetic. But patriotism is more than bald eagles and flags and beer. Patriotism is about loving the people who live in the damn country — every single one of them.

They should rotate requesting access so there’s a different congressperson at facilities 4-5 days a week. Overwhelm them. Even if they don’t always show up.They should work to challenge this but meanwhile use their “rules” to hold them accountable to the law. Force them to show inside with frequency

@allofitwnyc.bsky.social @mcjalonick.bsky.social great segment for this day. FWIW, the USCP have had zero issues ziptying our grams/gramps as well as the chronically ill when sitting in the Capitol for Medicare/Medicaid, confiscating paint sticks holding up posters as they posed lethal threat. 1/x

Just saw this on one of my discords. Wouldn't it be great if we could get this one way past the funding goal within hours of it opening? www.gofundme.com/f/help-roger...

Sen. BLUMENTHAL: Was the U.S. Capitol attacked on January 6, 2021? Trump nominee: *dodges* Trump nominee: *dodges* Trump nominee: Well, individuals entered the Capitol. Blumenthal: You are in fear—how will you have the courage to be fair and impartial?

@thebrianlehrershow.bsky.social do not let Rep Mike Lawler go unchallenged here. HE and HIS PARTY have done NOTHING to improve the ACA - NOTHING!

Mark Kelly: "They are not silencing me. I'm still speaking out. I still am going to do my job every single day regardless of whether this president wants to kill me, hang me, execute me, or shut me up. I'm not gonna shut up."

Affordability isn't a 'con job.' It means stopping corporate price gouging, preventing Wall Street from buying up homes, & stopping big pharma from padding its pockets when you get sick. But for Trump, who uses his office to enrich himself & the billionaires, this is all probably very confusing.

Remember - if you're financially in a position to do so, skip the #BlackFriday deals online from big companies and shop instead from small and local businesses. The big guns don't need your money, but for small traders it can be what keeps them going into 2026, so support your community instead.

What time do you get in?

For anyone interested, here’s the discharge petition Leader @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social introduced to extend the ACA tax credits for 3 years. Dems are serious about affordable healthcare. No one needs to fear getting sick. clerk.house.gov/DischargePet...

This week was terrible: RFK Jr. put autism/vaccines at center of CDC website; ACIP is about to tank the birth dose of HBV vaccine; loans for public health/nursing degrees just got cut. I cannot express the white hot hatred I have for these people. Get on the phone. Call your representatives.

I would not have known that my books are in the database if I hadn't seen this post. If you're a writer check yours!

Today we won a big victory in Texas but the fight for democracy is not over. We all need to steel ourselves for the battles ahead. We won't win them all, but we can never lose sight of what we need to do to prepare fee and fair elections.

“Short bursts indicate an ICE sighting. Long whistles indicate agents making arrests. If you hear the whistle and you’re undocumented, said [Whitney Hu, a community activist and organizer with South Brooklyn Mutual Aid], ‘you hide. And if you’re somebody who’s not, you go to the street.’”

Some news: tomorrow at 9am, Ted Koppel + CBS Sunday Morning will air a two-part story on the devastating surge of full-time workers being pushed into homelessness. I'll be interviewed along with two families from There Is No Place for Us. It would mean a lot if you'd watch and help spread the word.

This is gotta be the press photo of the year 2025

The timing feels especially critical: this week the Trump administration moved to gut permanent housing programs nationwide. As the safety net is torn apart and the affordability crisis deepens, this report shows what's at stake for millions of people. 

Here's how the segment is being described:

You know I have something to say about last week’s events. So much so that this week’s essay is a two-parter. Here’s the shot. Chaser drops in an hour. Get started! And SHARE. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

Other folks have said it, but let me just note that: (1) lots of talented, must-read journalists have been let go from their jobs over the last year (2) millions of Americans are abandoning current media outlets and looking for new alternatives Seems like a sure-fire business opportunity here?

If sandwich shops don’t start offering a sandwich named “the acquittal” then what are we even doing

There's nothing "moderate" about surrendering in exchange for "strong assurances" from congressional Republicans. That's just stupid political malpractice. Republicans are losing this fight, and Dems should hold the line!

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

The New Hampshire Senate race is going to be one of the most competitive in the country. But together, we can win.

This really is something that should not be pushed aside. This money that was already approved should be going to those projects/states. All of it. Like Pete says, this could have a severe impact all over, in this case, if the tunnel fails.
