What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.” What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.” Funny how that works.

"The group rallied amid frigid conditions at the Target store on East Lake Street, alleging it allowed agents to stage raids in the parking lot. 'You cannot celebrate our communities on your commercials while letting ICE stalk them in your parking lot'...” www.startribune.com/twin-cities-...

Trump is and will always be a mass muderer.

They are now targeting people who did everything by the book and were literally at the ceremony where they were going to become citizens... "Immigrants lined up to become U.S. citizens in Boston on Dec. 4 were pulled from line by USCIS officials moments before the oath ceremony"

Dear amazing people. Please do not use AI to generate memes or images. Ask your wonderful artist friends. AI is a parasite, hugely damaging to our global environment. AI sucks water, generates greenhouse gasses & undermines science & art. I would rather see a scribble on a napkin than AI shlock. ❤️

On Dec 7, 1941, US intelligence knew Japan would attack—but not where. A year before, Genevieve Grotjan, 26-year-old mathematician-codebreaker who’d been unable to get a college teaching job—likely because she was female—had the flash of insight that broke Japan’s diplomatic code.

The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.

Ann Lowe was the Black genius behind Jackie Kennedy’s iconic wedding gown. Before the fashion world was ready to credit a Black woman’s talent, Lowe was already designing for America’s most powerful families. Brilliant. Bold. Innovative. Undervalued. And nearly erased from history.

Mark Kelly: ...Jobs are down. Wages are flat. Costs are up. And this president is asleep. Like, literally. He's falling asleep on the job. Like every day. And it's hurting the American people. He's doing nothing to try to help people with the cost of groceries and rent and healthcare.

Those eyes. That face. He looks as devastated as I feel. Does he have a conscience? Am I misinterpreting that face? Does he know what he did to those human beings?

“table-sized”

It doesn't matter if you can prove you're a U.S. Citizen. Without due process there's no one to prove it TO. And ICE clearly doesn't care.

This is great. Very few people want to go to jail, get disbarred or die for this regime. Make them fight you. They will cave. www.ms.now/news/minneap...

"Camilo" is harvesting pomegranates in Firebaugh, CA. "We earn minimum wage. It's very tiring work. We climb up and down ladders with a heavy sack of fruit. We then rush to empty the sack into the bin. Today was a good day as the ground wasn't wet from the rain." #WeFeedYou

Rep. Grijalva says she was pepper-sprayed by ICE

"Cora" harvests pomegranates in Selma CA area. It's supposed to rain and she's worried. She only earns minimum wage and rain causes days she doesn't work. When this happens she doesn't have enough to pay her bills. She's a single mother and depends on the salary. #WeFeedYou

Since we can’t ever expect Mike Johnson to do the right thing, we’re forcing a vote on extending ACA tax credits. And we only need four more members to sign the petition to make it happen. Help us move the needle!

For all that are reading this that are people with chronic illness or pain or you know someone in that situation I want to bring you hope every single day. It’s the thing that binds us together along with love. On Thursday in DC I plan on fighting for healthcare for ALL. Healthcare is a human right.

ICE is building new detention centers across the country, with very little oversight, endangering thousands of people in immigrant detention. Our elected leaders must act to hold ICE accountable.

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

This “Liquid Glass” in the new IOS operating system is hard for my old eyes to read. Can I change settings somehow to get rid of it?

ABC News and MS NOW reports that a Virginia grand jury has refused to re-indict Letitia James on mortgage fraud charges

He commits crimes against humanity to stop “drug traffickers” while pardoning a notorious drug trafficker. He attacks veterans while committing treason. Make it stop.

The dripping contempt the right wing SCOTUS majority holds for district judges is truly a sight to behold every time. When they deign to give actual reasons for their shadow docket holdings, it’s “look at the absolute idiots who keep getting everything wrong!”

It’s like the planet is telling us in every way it possibly can that we’re in very big trouble. The bees. The forests. The rivers. The glaciers. Now, the penguins.

It's the time a year for a lot of variety of apples. Let's hear it for the farm workers who harvest them. "Memo" sent us this video from where they are harvesting apples in is harvesting apples in WAs Yakama Country. #WeFeedYou

This is so unbelievably, nauseatingly grim. US airstrike survivors clung to boat wreckage for an hour before second deadly attack: "You could see their faces, bodies … Then boom, boom, boom." www.theguardian.com/...

If you were wondering who were all those people gathered around Trump during his diabolical racist rant yesterday in the Oval Office, @billmckibben.bsky.social has the answer, and it reveals how the US auto industry keeps setting us back even further in the uphill climb toward sustainability.

Good grief. What has IOS 26.1 done to my phone. Everything is harder for these old eyes to see.

We are in federal court today arguing to restore the Student and Exchange Visa Information System (SEVIS) record for Rümeysa Öztürk, which was unlawfully terminated by the Trump administration. The legal team is seeking to restore Öztürk’s SEVIS record while her court case proceeds.

Two-foot cages. No water. We have become monsters. “Detainees at the notorious Florida immigration jail known as ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ were shackled inside a 2ft high metal cage and left outside without water for up to a day at a time.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

MAGA screams about “fraud” but always shields the biggest criminals in their own circle. Law & order? Only for the poor. The rich and well-connected get a pardon.

With the specter masks, this dental room looks like a torture chamber. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Arresting children. Bombing fishermen. Starving families. Stealing our money. Lying to our faces.

✅ True!

Right?!!

Today, the president said some of the most racist, vile shit I’ve ever heard said out loud about our Somali neighbors, friends, and family members. And it’s not just words—he also launched new attacks on our community because we’ve dared to try to build an inclusive, multiracial society.

She shouldn't have to keep doing this by herself. She is supposedly a member of a political party and every single one of her *colleagues* should be BLASTING the fascist in chief. ALL OF THEM. Where is the solidarity???

"Although one doctor documented in her medical record that she was at 'high risk of clinical deterioration and/or death,' she was told over and over again that she didn’t need to worry, her relatives say. More than 90 doctors were involved in Walker’s care": www.propublica.org/article/texa...

Yes! Yes they are especially gorgeous on snowy or merely overcast days, cheering and welcoming.

I do in fact stay awake at night sometimes thinking about how the MAGA ghouls are destroying actually-essential counterterrorism efforts in favor of directing resources towards brutalizing elderly taco truck workers

"Imagine if we had collectively decided to build wind turbines and flood gates instead of data centers. Imagine that we could." ❤️🔥😱
