The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

Remember when Congress authorized the use of force against Iran? Me neither. Any U.S. attack on Iran would violate U.S. and international law.

I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party. We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness — or one rooted in cruelty and rage.

No congress, no constitution, and a king. What a way to celebrate 250 years.

Yet again, an American president is sending other people’s kids to risk their lives in a senseless regime change war. Yet again, we will lose lives, spend billions, and end up dragged into decades of instability.

The cruelty and inhumanity of this Administration’s policies have left another person dead—as CBP dropped off Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a nearly blind refugee living in Buffalo NY, alone on a cold winter night miles from his home. This cruelty must end.

The real reason I’m never going to fall for a phishing email is because I don’t remember my log in

State of our union? I spent tonight coloring with kids so they didn’t have to listen to their parents make plans on what’s going to happen to them if they are snatched off the street for being brown.

I really want an app or a computer program where I can plan/ design home renovations without needing an architecture degree to use. Think: built in bookshelves or refinishing the basement. Anyone play around with something they like?

Libraries are among the few public institutions that represent the kind of world we want to live in. They must be fought for.

Unconscionable. Derelict. Dangerous. Heartless. Betrayal. Cruel. Shameful. People will die as a result. How do you feel about this new rule?

Just had the pleasure of hearing @ositanwanevu.com discuss his terrific new book. Really fantastic.

Best advertisement I’ve seen so far at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

Children’s vocabulary shrinking as reading loses out to screen time, says Susie Dent

Sounds like the military also had no warning about El Paso’s airspace. That’s….unusual. Also probably rules out a strike on Mexican territory.

Re: El Paso, in order to do something like this (in a normal world) the intelligence community needs a significant, credible threat to National Security and personnel. Is there one? I dunno. I’m not in the IC anymore. But under this administration who fucking knows what’s going on.

From my Rep:

If you thought this paradigm was going to last 30-90 days and then end and now, at day 72, you’re realizing the fallout is actually an indefinitely permanent paradigm, it makes sense you went super hard at a pace that is unsustainable. Recalibrate now before you’re hurtling into the concrete floor.

The morning so far

I cannot express how much I hope that what ultimately brings these motherfuckers down are the women who survived them as children.

I genuinely cannot believe the degree to which we are pissing away this generational breakthrough, even given the fuckmuppets who are involved www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

The fuck?

"Societies experiencing atrocities struggle to put a stop to and then meaningfully address them. Perpetrators want to advance their aims to the end and propagate baseless lies to do it. Victims want violence to stop, and they want justice." 1/ www.nytimes.com/2026/02/11/o...

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."

If you have to wake up and choose not to act on your "gay thoughts" every single day, I have news for you, pet.

Is anyone else mad at the fact that they have to pay federal taxes for bullshit they don't want? Like new ballrooms, the Gestapo, child torture, and human trafficking. I wanna pay for education, social services, UBI, and universal health care! I'm so gotdamn mad right now, I need to lie down.

Good news: they recovered video of the kidnappers in the Guthrie case Bad news: even if you don't have a subscription the videos demonstrate that Google/Nest is storing your camera videos Just like Ring finding your lost dog, we're always being watched www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

“When it comes to choosing between storing a championship ring or trophy in a room, or providing kids with an opportunity to change their lives, the choice is pretty simple. Sell it all.” KAREEM RULES.

Donald Trump is: - Openly racist - Covering up evidence he may have sexually abused children - Directly responsible for the murder of US citizens by masked agents of the state - Openly looting the treasury and taking bribes from foreign leaders - Polling at 38% amongst the American people

Killing off the poors is the desired endgame of nearly every policy pushed by Trump and his backers (denying health insurance, denying SNAP, not vaccinating children, ending special education, re-classifying human service fields as "non-professional," and on and on and on).

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.

Holocaust survivors asked if they could hide the building’s Haitian staff in their apartments.

“In theater.” In. Theater. In. Theater. They want so desperately to be cool tactical soldier dudes that they’ll wage war on America itself to make that silly, childish fantasy a reality.

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

I miss having a legitimate government

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

This is the GM firing an assistant coach and hoping that will be the end of the questions, except with fascism.

Certainly appears moms with whistles won the Battle of Minneapolis.

organized, unseen, unpaid labor acting rapidly and effectively? yeah that'd be women

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

Yes

hey everybody lifelong tech expert here > "system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility that's not how anything works they're lying and destroying evidence hope that helps

Remember, it’s not just 🧊 we should fear. It’s our neighbors, local law enforcement, and community leaders who support and enable their terror and carry out their crimes against us.

This hurts. So much. 😢
