Women are equal members of a civil society, and therefore have all rights of their own body, or they aren’t.

We filed a lawsuit after this admin tried to threaten schools and colleges into abandoning diversity, equity, and inclusion and rewrite decades of civil rights protections. The courts blocked these threatss, and their ruling now stands. thehill.com/homenews/edu...

I wonder if it's possible to donate a new curb with a proper cut to a public school? Dragging a large cart full of bagged donated food over a non-cut yet still dissolving curb in the ice and slush over and over again is sort of non-optimal.

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation. Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

it’s hard to explain how inspiring it is for me to see a broad social affirmation of the importance of genealogical identity. Adoptees in the US who publicly affirm this are subjected to a LOT of abuse. 🥚

Trump has removed signs at George Washington’s house in Philadelphia that inform the public about the history of slavery and signs at Fort Sumter that inform the public that the fort is at risk due to climate change. Because history and science are like COVID: If you ignore them, they go away.

Ossoff on Kelly: "It's an effort to intimidate veterans across the country from speaking out. It represents an even deeper threat to our civil liberties. So I just want to thank this man for his courage & continuing to speak truth to power even when threatened by authorities who want to silence him"

People want to have their basic needs met. They want to be paid a living wage. They want to stop being nickle and dimed by powerful corporations who control so much of our lives. They do not want Venezuela. They do not want Greenland. They do not want masked thugs terrorizing our communities.

Ossoff: "POTUS called for this man [Mark Kelly] to be hanged. A combat veteran, naval aviator, astronaut, senator. He demanded his execution bc he stated a principle enshrined in uniform code of military justice. If we become numb to that we lose sight of how extraordinary our obligations are."

Amazing story!

The National Weather Service issues a litany of notices before and during inclement weather events. They can be important signals on how to respond.

Put down my crochet while listening to Dr. Yoon’s wonderful podcast about caregiving in order to answer an emergency plea from our son to send winter storm supplies. As I was putting together the order his cat threw up in the bed next to me. Too much caregiving here 😎 youtu.be/WfyKcSbWTFo?...

Not sure if you saw it, but did you see how a sign painter did unnoticeable graffiti on a sign to improve traffic and Los Angeles never noticed it and found out and kept it?

These are great! You must watch both! 😂😂😂

53 years since my friend and neighbor Sarah Weddington secured the right to an abortion in the landmark Roe v Wade ruling.

I’m not gonna worry about Tampa. It’s not highest priority for me but here’s what it’s looking like an hour later. Quite a few 300s left. Don’t give up just because it’s not up close! Hwaiting!

I got tix!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭💜💜💜💜💜💜

I'm looking for witnesses/victims of DHS retaliating against people who were recording their agents (ICE, Border Patrol, FPS, etc.) in Southern California. This is for LA Press Club v. Noem case, but victim does NOT need to be press/journalist. Everyone has right to record. We're fighting for all.

Colorado: "People can submit basic information, details or images of an incident and answer questions as to whether other law enforcement was at the scene. Reports will be reviewed and may be shared with the Colorado congressional delegation and local district attorney offices."

The US withdrawal from #WHO became official today, leaving the world less prepared for dangerous disease outbreaks. “When that will bite us in the ass, it’s impossible to predict. But there is a 100% certainty that it will bite us in the ass,” one expert told me. www.statnews.com/2026/01/22/u...

Jamie Raskin begins his statement by recognizing Dunn, Hodges, Gonell and Fanone sitting in the gallery. He then launches into Smith's career, and how he devoted his life to the rule of law.

Rep. Jamie Raskin to Jack Smith: "If anybody decides to attack you personally, they will only be revealing their own ignorance of what prosecutors do and their own indifference to what the rule of law requires in America. They will only be stroking the wounded ego of a lawless … president."

I was very surprised to see a Great Blue Heron doing some ice fishing in Central Park's Loch this morning! And in its full cold weather gear! 💙🩶💙 #Herons #CentralPark #birding

The budget deal in Congress will give ICE another $10 BILLION. Absolutely not. ICE is out of control. We must stop this rogue agency’s dangerous abuses of power, not bankroll it.

Special Counsel Jack Smith in his Opening Remarks:

just got off the phone after coordinating for ticketing this afternoon. kiddo has been quietly saving her paychecks so she could help cover the tix and travel expenses if we get one or both days 😭

Anyone else having trouble posting jpg pics to Bluesky this morning? My photo of my mother's beautiful pink peonies showed up as a black square - all four times I tried. And even when I tried a different photo.

I just saw on Reddit that as of Jan 28 if you use #iTalki classroom, whether you pay for extra AI or not, your sessions WILL be recorded. No opt out for student or teacher. My tutor uses Zoom, so we are ok. This is disgusting, and I think AI mining for content. Anybody have more info? #langsky

I'm excited to announce I'm doing a new Bloomberg column about the business of fashion. The first column is about how we can re-shore US garment manufacturing. Instead of mass deportations and raising tariffs, I argue the government should move the industry upstream: tinyurl.com/reshoringapparel

Legislation sponsored by Democratic Senators Angela V. McKnight and Shirley K. Turner that requires New Jersey school districts to incorporate instruction on cursive handwriting into their 3rd through 5th grade curricula was signed into law by outgoing Gov (who also signed terrible ICE bill).

“Cursive is a timeless and necessary skill that we must incorporate into our curriculum again.” - NJ State Sen. Shirley Turner, D-Mercer, a longtime advocate in the fight to revive cursive instruction, co-sponsor of the bill with NJ State Angela V. McKnight, D-Hudson

I was patient and now actually got a ticket for day 2 of Brussels even though the sale opened up more than 2 hours ago! ARMY, keep trying if you didn't manage to get a ticket yet! There's still hope!

Feeling wistful today. Gotta hang in there. youtu.be/TYNLm2wZyT8?...
