I finally broke down and bought a doorbell camera. Not a Ring. Looks like that was a good decision.

This is true. And all the more striking because we *barely* integrated. Most organizations remain highly segregated but even minor integration was too much for some folks.

FAMU can't use the word Black on anything posted around campus related to Black History Month, to stay in compliance with Florida state laws against DEI. Black students can't use the word Black at their Historically Black College during Black History Month.

This is a perfect example of why I canceled my WaPo subscription, ignore their constant discount offers, and haven't shopped at Amazon or Whole Foods in well over a year.

Just saw a man walking down a neighborhood sidewalk carrying a frozen iguana by the tail. #Florida

The CEO of every company that funds the GOP should be asked why they fund a party that promotes gutter racism.

Lots of time spent on “is Trump fascist” and “is Trump racist” debates that have now been settled quite conclusively.

Pour one out for every professional political pundit, writer, consultant whatever that has spent the last decade trying to pretend that the Trump phenomenon was about trade or opiates and not a big chunk of white america losing its mind over having a black president bsky.app/profile/kyle...

TRIGGER WARNING, because here is a US Marshal from Trump‘s Gestapo Force in Memphis kicking a puppy today in the Whitehaven neighborhood and breaking its rib. They were serving a warrant and I guess BIG MAN got scared of the schnauzer. (I didn’t take the video, the dog’s person did)

This happens with*everything* now. No matter how grave the crime or one-dimensional the injustice, after four days the hivemind of American punditry decides that the Real Story is how the people upset about it are the real villains.

We are watching this play out in real time. 1 Timothy 6:9-10

In less than a week the Kennedy Center has effectively closed and our local DC paper has been gutted, both by billionaires. I don’t think immigrants are our problem in this country.

It's so cool how we just accept that federal accountability is dead and the president will just pardon any federal crimes as easily as he pardoned everyone for January 6, and we just live with this fact instead of tearing down the rest of the White House around him.

Free her!

To anyone tempted to celebrate Noem's big announcement that ICE will use body cams and that it will be expanded nationwide as funding is available... That's already been official ICE policy for over two years. www.ice.gov/news/release....

With ticket sales plummeting and artists pulling out, Trump decides to close the Kennedy Center for two years, promising to renovate it and try again to find an audience and performers when it reopens in 2028.

Let me go ahead and make a donation to @propublica.org.

As a whole, local police have not stepped up to protect citizens from ICE's illegal detentions and assaults. They only get upset when one of their own is questioned or hassled. It's not surprising but still disappointing.

The overwhelming majority of billionaires got there by exploiting other people. Why is anyone surprised those same people also sexually exploit women and girls? Maybe we should reconsider the way we worship money and put these wealthy ghouls on pedestals. But we won't.

Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college 1. Austen, Forster, and Film 2. 18th Century Theater 3. Shakespeare 4. Signs and Signifiers 5. Screenwriting

Don Lemon is not the only reporter who was arrested by federal agents overnight — local independent journalist Georgia Fort just went live on FB to say federal agents were also at her door to take her into custody over her protest coverage in Minneapolis.

Everyone should read this. *Gift article* www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/t...

Don was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles.

ALERT: Per CBS News Feds have arrested Don Lemon

In the words of a CBP Officer, "Boo hoo."

The cheese is falling off the cracker!

For any elected official who needs to hear this, I impart a lesson learned from the NFL: When the other team is tired and on the back foot, you don’t call a timeout so they can catch their breath. You grind their fucking face into the dirt until the final whistle blows and you’ve won the game.

@democrats.org This is just the beginning. You don't get to fake amnesia and vote for DHS funding now. Two Americans and many of our immigrant neighbors are still dead. Others brutalized and separated from loved ones. Our 1A and 2A rights have been thrown in the trash. Impeach and remove them all!

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.

This is a must-read. The most unqualified, greedy, vain people are being given important positions and destroying our institutions. Each anecdote about their "leadership" is worst than the last. *Gift article* www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

This is the absolute bare minimum. His lies and the atrocities he and his goons have committed against the people of the United States should not be rewarded with retirement benefits. He's floating off on a parachute. Multiple people are still dead and brutalized without accountability.

CNN calling Tom Homan "well respected" and "not as hardline as Bovino" is an interesting choice. The dude took a $50,000 bribe in a fucking Cava bag and says all the same fascist shit as Bovino and Noem.

Our VA Secretary wants all of his employees who serve our nation’s veterans to understand that if masked federal agents execute you on the streets in cold blood, he will not give a damn about you and will use your death as an opportunity to spread propaganda for the President.

Where is Alex Pretti's cell phone?

If Nancy Mace was assaulted by a Biden supporter, it would be a week-long news cycle and every Democrat in Congress would be asked if they approve or disapprove

Kristi Noem and her department’s latest attempt to mislead the American public regarding the brutal and unjustified killing of Alex Pretti is deeply shameful, and she must be impeached and removed from office immediately.

Walz: "We're no longer having a political debate. We're having a moral debate."

Why is this elf on the television every time I turn it on?

These monsters have worked for decades to create an America in which it's perfectly okay for civilians to walk around with a loaded weapon, and now they're saying if you have a gun at a protest, the state can murder you.

So important. What they say is not the story. That is never the story. What happened is the story. Write what happened.

Dems should introduce legislation now defunding ICE and CBP operations in Minnesota, so they have to leave the state. One sentence bill. Demand an immediate vote. Maybe refuse to vote for cloture on any funding bills (or other bills) until a vote. Make the GOP Congress break w/ Trump or own it all.

Nonviolence is, in fact, working. This administration is weaker than it was a year ago. More and more of the public is becoming galvanized against it; its agents are being impeded.

Great. Will Senate Democrats also stop voting for any of the cretins Trump nominates to a post? When we say don't vote for anything, we mean anything. If it weren't for Rubio, Hegseth, and the DHS nominees, hundreds of people would be alive today, including Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

Looking forward to the Pretti Good Act which will dismantle ICE forever.
