I'm so grateful for these faith leaders. @caramodisett.bsky.social

New reporting finds that Trump's DOJ took over and quashed a state investigation into Epstein's New Mexico ranch in 2019. As the walls close in on Trump, he'll do anything — including launch full-scale wars — to distract the public.

🇺🇸 🏒 Captain hilary knight : “The joke was distasteful & unfortunate— Now I have to sit in front of you and explain someone else's behavior. It's not my responsibility… It’s a great teaching point to really shine light on how women should be championed for their amazing feats.”

Even in a blizzard the @nytimes.com delivery team had the morning paper at my door before 7:30am. Outrageously wonderful. Thank you!

Wow — “The Kentucky Supreme Court struck down a law Thursday that would have allowed public funding to go to charter schools.” Very different story here in Tennessee, where @GovBillLee and the privatizers attack public schools daily. thehill.com/homenews/edu...

A. Philip Randolph is a giant in our labor movement. As Vice President of the AFL-CIO, he fought for labor rights and pushed for desegregation and respect for civil rights. America’s unions celebrate his legacy and continue his work by mobilizing for a better future for all.

“A brochure given to passengers who recently flew on it with Noem highlights its ‘exceptional interior design by renowned New York designer Peter Marino.’” “‘No expense has been spared and every detail has been meticulously executed,’ the brochure read.” Paid for by YOU

4 corporations. $315B in profits. Just 4.9% in federal taxes. Tesla paid $0. With Trump’s billionaire tax cuts Amazon, Alphabet, Meta & Tesla got $51B in cuts in ONE year. At the original 35% rate, they’d owe ~$110B. Free public college costs ~$75B. 45M students drown in debt so 4 corps cash in 🇺🇸

A man at the diner this morning said he just can't understand how America can protect pedophiles. This same man voted for two sexual abusers.

A group of pediatricians wrote an op-ed detailing the traumatic, lasting effects kids in detention centers will endure: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

i wonder how all the epstein politicians are coordinating with the epstein media elites now without epstein but they seem to have gotten a new system all figured out

Every miserable NYC summer, city pools + beaches close for lack of lifeguards. Not a problem for kids leaving for the Hamptons. But for city kids in need of cooling off, it's a huge deal. Thrilled to see real lifeguard outreach from @nycparks.bsky.social in advance of summer! Bravo!

I've been wondering why the Dems questioning Pam Bondi didn't pause the proceeding + invite her to excuse herself to the toilet where she could collect herself before more questioning. In what workplace would her behavior be tolerated or excused? @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov

"Scientists have long been drawn to music as a window onto the brain because it compresses so many human capacities into a single activity." Fascinating new piece from one of my fave music writers, Corinna da Fonseca-Wollheim. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/10/a...

Yep, NYC post-snow. www.facebook.com/reel/1408980...

No junk mail. Only love letters.

one thing that comes across in these clips is that bondi is totally out of her depth. just an absolute lightweight. barely sentient.

UPDATE: The 21 year old who has been posting “chilling” white supremacist messaging on Trump’s official Department of Labor feeds was finally fired. JUST KIDDING! DHS hired him. (P.S. They’ve been doing it too) www.nytimes.com/2026/02/11/u...

According to Bondi it’s okay to be a pedophile, as long as that pedophile is good for the stock market.

#NewMexico has some courageous and indefatigable leaders who are women. I'm not surprised.

Pardoned insurrectionists commit crimes at a higher rate than immigrants.

These spectacular creatures.

And every single billionaire who donated to his campaign - who dined with him at Mar-a-Lago, who sat front and center at the inauguration, who reaped personal gain to the tune of billions - is complicit in starving children to death.

“There was zero plan, except causing pain,” said one U.N. official about the Trump administration’s decision to stop funding the group with no notice or communication. “And that is not forgivable.” (Published Dec. 2025)

Gaga stunning as usual. Those musicians. Those dancers. Just wish Bruno Mars was with her on this song. Swoon. Also: Viva #PuertoRico www.facebook.com/reel/8754706...

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Tax cuts for giant corporations and the super rich. Paid for by cuts to the social safety net for everyone else. Trickle-up economics.

Finneas is better at political messaging than 99% of the Democratic consultants in DC.

I hope Dems begin to see that moderate or progressive, AIPAC is not our friend. They endorse January 6th insurrectionists. Yet if you so much as suggest the US uphold its own Leahy laws, no matter your record, they will work against you.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Name them shame them

funny how the man who cost the Washington Post hundreds of thousands in subscriptions by canceling the paper's presidential endorsement—almost certainly the most destructive decision in the history of the paper, if not journalism itself—still has his job

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

"@washingtonpost.com produced some of America’s finest climate journalism over the last decade, aggressively covering President Trump’s regulatory rollbacks + winning a Pulitzer Prize for a series about Earth’s fastest-warming places..."

turns out when Bezos suggested "democracy dies in darkness" it was a goal, not a slogan

Kudos to Mayor Mamdani. This is what economic justice looks like. And it's a reminder of how we can fight corporate greed at the state and local level. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/01/mamdani-ice-delivery-workers-settlement-backpay-uber-gig-workers-million/

BREAKING: A U.S. official has filed a bombshell complaint accusing Tulsi Gabbard of serious wrongdoing, so explosive and deeply classified they’ve triggered months of behind-the-scenes chaos over how (or whether) Congress should even be allowed to see them, according to the WSJ.

I've always loathed the way wealthy white people use the term "Grit" as a cudgel against people in poverty. It's much like the "pulling yourselves up by your bootstraps" nonsense. Poverty is by design.

The only thing more repulsive than the Epstein files is the unlikelihood that anybody will be brought to justice.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @dennisgoris.bsky.social )

Israel is the third-worst jailer of journalists in connection to their work, with 29 Palestinian journalists behind bars, according to CPJ’s 2025 Prison Census. The majority of journalists are being held in arbitrary detention without due process or a legal basis for their arrests. cpj.org?p=553128

Private Equity destroys everything it touches: education, child care, housing, health care, elder care. And that's by design.
