Think proving citizenship is simple? Ask any of the 21M+ married women if her birth name does not match her current name. No match. No vote. This is voter supression. #HandsOffHerVote

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

It is absolutely outrageous that Moderna’s flu vaccine was met with a “refusal-to-file” even after their approved their protocol with FDA and carried out the trial as agreed. This vaccine works better in older adults than the current flu vaccines. apnews.com/article/mode...

The FDA rejects Moderna’s application for its mRNA-based flu vaccine. The move is the latest sign that the FDA, under Health Secretary RFK Jr., is slow-walking vaccine approvals and taking a harder line on shots that use RNA technology.

“I was asked to write something…about what the KidLit community should be doing in this moment to support those of us surviving the siege. My answer to that is the same answer I have to everyone right now: Help us fight. Help us save ourselves and our neighbors in an impossible situation.”

SPEAKING TRUTH TO POWER: Last night, the Readington NJ BOE turned a tiny town into Texas as it ignored an outpouring of objections from concerned citizens and passed a library policy designed to circumvent the NJ Freedom to Read Act. @andrewzwicker.bsky.social @njasl.bsky.social

“To the MAGA members of this committee, someday you too will have a starring role in the history books, and you will be compared to the Nazis and the communist censors of the past. I will not be silent as my beloved America falls into the hands of fascist wannabes.” See her full remarks here.

Worth watching this in full. The statement is more powerful than this quote alone. Here is is from USA Today, with alt text. Also! Rich Ruohonen is a personal injury lawyer and the oldest athlete to ever represent the United States in a Winter Games at 54 years old.

These people should just be enjoying their Olympic moment. Instead, they are moved to doing the right thing -- knowing that they will then incur the public wrath of the president of the United States and whatever comes after that. It is courageous and patriotic.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE: "I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

Oh god, Mollie Hemmingway is dropping a fellacious bio of Alito in April. Folks, this man is *so* going to retire at the end of the term. Senate Democrats, PLEASE staff up. This is *going to happen.* www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/molli...

Masking and keeping yourself temporarily bubbled to not get sick are not "extreme measures." These athletes spent years training and sacrificing to get to the Olympics. Doing proven things to keep from getting sick to be able to compete and be at their best now that they are there is just smart.

We are so thankful to @PBS Independent Lens for supporting our film and proud to say it is airing on PBS starting Monday at 12 ET streaming or airing on your local PBS on Independent Lens. We are so proud of this film and the advocates in it. 💕📚Please tune in!

Not at all surprised to learn that Bad Bunny has a historical adviser. His halftime show was a reminder that our history and culture are deeply intertwined with the rest of the western hemisphere. We should think of his performance as part of #America250. #SuperBowl news.wisc.edu/pop-star-bad...

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

"This is what you do if you're trying to control a populace, not trying to do routine, professional law enforcement."

If you are too young to remember Surya, she was a fucking ICON. The only person in history to do a BACKFLIP with a SPLIT ON THE AIR, which she’d land ON ONE FOOT Of course she wasn’t properly appreciated in her time because racism. m.youtube.com/watch?v=pAhy...

Virginia State Senator Louise Lucas is just a delight on every level

Dear Dems, the people want you to run on abolishing ICE, not appeasing fascists.

😭 and of course 😡 We really need an angry and crying emoji

People targeted by racist invective are under no obligation to say or do anything. Not even the Obamas. This is not their problem; it is ours.

Every American needs to watch this:

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...

The extent to which this administration personally targets and continues the assault on people who embarrass and shame it is particularly despicable.

Excellent work by my former student paper. Read until the end when DiChristina wants to have Epstein edit a Scientific American piece. “He’s done so much for science, I think he deserves to have some fun!” And COM deserves a new dean.

It's not just the women and girls we know of. It's all their future work, and everything they could have been, and how we build structures that shelter their abusers. It's how a man's future has always been worth more than my past, present, and future combined.

This morning at the Minnesota State Capitol. An ice sculpture that reads "PROSECUTE ICE". I'm told the organization behind the sculpture is Common Defense.

Keep pressing, keep working. We’re pulling a Herb Brooks on their asses.

Kindergarten teacher called a prank ICE hotline thinking it was real. She called to report her 6 year old student to ICE to try to get them and their family deported. 6 years old. She does not enjoy hearing her own words and actions played back to her.

Please, please Mackenzie Scott and Melinda French Gates-- decide to become media moguls. A network of nonprofit newsrooms. There are entire staffs of great journalists out of work in places across the country. Let them do the work they want to do. Shine the light of truth.

The library? Yes, the library is hosting a series for Chicagoans to learn about Puerto Rican history ahead of Bad Bunny’s historical Super Bowl halftime show performance this weekend.

Today @thesicktimes.org: RECOVER-TLC is launching the biggest Long COVID pediatric trial so far. @spichaksimon.bsky.social examines that trial, and two other pediatric trials in progress. thesicktimes.org/2026/02/03/l...

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Are you planning to attend PLA in April? Reach out to SLJ senior news editor Kara Yorio ([email protected]) to discuss what you're excited for and your thoughts on attending the event in Minneapolis for a story in advance of the conference.

"Nearby, a six-year-old wondered if the unicorn she saw marching earlier was ok. "

More amazing efforts from the people of Minnesota. And another story of cruelty countered with selflessness and kindness. 19thnews.org/2026/02/minn...

The thing where ICE parks masked men in school lots is something I would not have believed unless I saw it with my own two eyes. They do it constantly. It’s purely a terror tactic and they’ve done it to schools over the region. Our schools are collapsing - often at 50% attendance or less.

Columbia Heights is being terrorized, relentlessly. For those unfamiliar, Columbia Heights is a first-ring suburb, just north of Minneapolis on the east side of the Mississippi. It has a busy little commercial district, great parks, and quiet neighborhoods.

“All over my neighborhood we keep finding empty cars, the glass shattered into diamonds on the snow, the people missing. Tiny private automotive kristallnachts, everywhere and ongoing.”

Liam Bunny is home.

We know that 4more children from Liam's school are still in ICE custody in TX. But we still do not know how many children from MN in total have been detained by ICE.

Liam Conejo Ramos is on an airplane on his way home to Minnesota. How wonderful. kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

“With a judicial finger in the constitutional dike, it is so ordered.” But it says 31st day of February.

“Our community is giving everything it has to face these dangers, which have been forced upon us by our federal government,” a teacher added, choking up. “It is a time for our leaders to do what’s right and protect Minnesota’s children and educators by ending ICE operations in our state.”

A federal judge warned Justice Department lawyers that their statements on a slavery exhibit display in Philadelphia were "horrifying." "You can’t erase history once you’ve learned it. It doesn’t work that way"

As a part of the nationwide mobilization, students around the country are walking out of school to stand against President Donald Trump and DHS’s violent operations targeting American towns and cities.
