This is Hippo. He's visiting Scotland for the first time. Had no idea they made squeaky toys for humans too. 14/10 (TT: kelseydarragh)

In terms of what cures are being lost: - Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis - herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis - shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

I won’t stop reporting the truth. The First Amendment is the bedrock of our democracy, and I’ll continue to fight to protect it 🤝🏾🇺🇸

Amy when you’re done self-promoting do you think you could go get that kid out of that concentration camp

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

"ICE OUT" on Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis, as seen from my flight leaving MSP airport

Dropping in ahead of Milano Cortina 2026 to say that you can (and should) watch Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir’s legendary Moulin Rouge performance whenever you want m.youtube.com/watch?v=wOEK...

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

A pause in ICE activity in Minnesota is not debatable after the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Alex Jeffrey Pretti Saturday morning in south Minneapolis, writes the Star Tribune Editorial Board.

A nurse. A researcher. A helper.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

Tomorrow’s front page of the Minnesota Star Tribune: Jan. 23, 2026

The United States has officially withdrawn from the World Health Organization. This is a shameful move that puts both Americans and people all over the world at greater risk from disease outbreaks, which require international collaboration to contain.

real shame that throwing tomatoes at people isn't popular anymore

This is Minneapolis: I’m at a major healthcare clinic (just here for a friend) and overheard the front desk staff mention they’ve had 97 missed appointments today. People aren’t getting medical care bc they’re afraid to leave home.

'Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.' MLK’s words ring true as ICE inflicts terror on communities across the U.S. Silence protects abuse. Stand up, organize, and demand dignity and accountability -- nonviolently, relentlessly. 💚✊

MLK’s Family Urges Nation To Spend Anniversary Of His Death Twisting His Words To Fit Own Political Agendas https://theonion.com/mlk-s-family-urges-nation-to-spend-anniversary-of-his-d-1824991630/

Quite a quote from Texans LB Azeez Al-Shaair, who was asked about his STOP THE GENOCIDE eye black after today’s game www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Other countries are sending their foreign war correspondents to cover ICE’s occupation of Minneapolis. The Department of Defence has put the US Army on alert for possible deployment to the city. This was never about immigration. They’re turning it into a war zone.

For the first time in history, the state of Virginia has a female Governor and right after being sworn in today Governor Abigail Spanberger’s first official act was to end cooperation between ICE-Gestapo and Virginia State Police. More of this. 💙👊👏

It should absolutely be part of the conversation that Greenland's population is primarily indigenous Greenlandic Inuit (Kalaallit,Tunumiit, and Inughuit).

Aliya Rahman told ICE she was disabled She told them she was on her way to a doctor appt They broke her window, cut her seatbelt & dragged her away like an animal She was headed to the Traumatic Brain Injury Center when they grabbed her. She was denied access to a doctor & tossed in detention

Three of the Ogala Lakota men who were taken by ICE are being held at a former concentration camp. ICE has no jurisdiction over Native Americans. They’re not breaking any laws. There’s nowhere to deport them to. They were here first. They’ve been kidnapped.

The EPA will no longer consider how many lives are saved when setting pollution limits, the New York Times reports. Instead, it will consider the cost to businesses of complying with clean air regulations.

Brandon McManus made fewer that half of his kicks in the 40 yd range this year. It’s not the Packers coaches’ fault he missed his kicks yesterday, but it is the organization’s fault that he was their kicker to begin with.

ice takes out ICE again 😬 🧊

Scully let's split up. I'll interview this beautiful botanist and you go check out the sewer system full of human bones

This is Kylo. He's Dominican, so he learned to dance before he could walk. 12/10 impressive moves (TT: chantyyyy_)

It’s official: RFK Jr has officially reduced recommended childhood vaccines from 17 to 11, removing universal vaccine recommendations for RSV, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, dengue and two types of bacterial meningitis. This reckless contravention of science is going to kill people.

My sincerest apologies to everyone I'm circling back to today.

born to read books, forced to read emails

This was gross. And a reminder of how out of touch many “moderates” are.

Millions of Americans remain at jobs they hate for one reason: the health insurance they receive. That’s absurd. Universal health care will give Americans the freedom to choose the work they want without worrying about health care coverage. Another reason for Medicare for All.

Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"

WATCH: Here's the segment CBS News pulled from "60 Minutes" last night

“You have arrived in hell.” That’s what the CECOT director allegedly told immigrants. Human Rights Watch said “Detainees were subjected to constant beatings and other forms of ill-treatment, including some cases of sexual violence” This is what CBS doesn’t want you to see.

Bari Weiss & CBS pulled the plug on 60 Minutes CECOT special just hours before it was scheduled to air. Men who had been sent there risked their lives to tell their stories, and they’ve been silenced by the regime. This article by The Guardian shines light on the torture & abuse they suffered:

It’s not just Gaza. Netanyahu’s extremist government is supporting the violent annexation of Palestinian land in the West Bank. This is illegal and immoral, and decades of American silence have enabled it. NO MORE MILITARY AID FOR NETANYAHU.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

My response to anything over the next two weeks

This is horrific. RFK Jr’s CDC is funding a study in Guinea-Bissau which would involve deliberately withholding the hepatitis B vaccine from hundreds of newborn infants, putting them at great risk of death. They want to repeat Tuskegee.

one reason i adore women's sports is because large portions of every fanbase aren't fooled by bullshit. most fans in men's sports accept pro-owner/anti-labor arguments, but nwsl and wnba fans right now are both saying 'nope we see what you're trying to do, just pay players what they're worth k thx.'

BREAKING: Four House Republicans have just forced a vote on healthcare subsidies. Four GOP members of Congress have signed on to the Democrats' discharge petition, and now a mandatory vote on extending ACA tax credits must be held.

If everyone is so A-Okay after getting Covid as the newspapers insist then why is everything 1000% more unhinged in 2025 than it was in 2019.
