Just dropped the biggest and baddest thing I’ve ever worked on: 22-minutes documentary into how science is rewritten by corporations and we pay the cost. Hope you queue it up for your night and give it a watch!

Polls close TONIGHT. @garrisonhayes told the stories that mattered most this year—with the history and context they deserved. One vote could decide if he wins the People’s Voice Webby this year: wbby.co/57391N

VENEZUELA DEFEATS THE UNITED STATES TO TAKE HOME THEIR FIRST WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC CHAMPIONSHIP 🇻🇪🏆

Michael B. Jordan has won Best Actor for ‘SINNERS’ at the Oscars. See the full winners list: bit.ly/OscarWins26

The #Oscar for Best Cinematography goes to ‘Sinners’’s Autumn Durald Arkapaw, the first woman to ever win in this category.

Ryan Coogler accepts his first-ever Oscar to a standing ovation “To my parents who are here, thank you for making me believe in myself… Memories are all we have. I hope we give you some great ones.”

I personally think ”Sinners” should win everything, and Michael B. Jordan should get two Oscars for Best Actor in a Leading Role.

"He cannot use a phone. He doesn’t know his address, he doesn’t know phone numbers, he can’t communicate, he can’t see. And they just left him.”

“28 Years Later: The Bone Temple” is one of the best zombie movies ever made.

If you've ever wondered what kinds of nuclear companies the Trump administration has in mind to power all the AI data centers, I just wrote about one: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Ahead of the #StateoftheUnion, I spoke with Raiza Contreras, Chuck Schumer’s guest. Her son Dylan was one of the first NYC students detained by the Trump administration. “You aren’t dead,” Contreras tells her son in detention calls. “You will return.” For USA Today:

Bad Bunny got over 3 million more viewers than the overall Super Bowl and had one of the most-watched halftime shows ever. So much for the narrative that people would turn off the TV when they heard music in Spanish. variety.com/2026/tv/news...

The Bad Bunny halftime gets even better every time I rewatch it.

Wrote about Bad Bunny and how after more than a century under U.S. rule, after attempts to erase our national identity, after the man-made crises and natural disasters that have befallen our people, in the face of every challenge, seguimos aquí. We’re still here. www.thecut.com/article/bad-...

Such an important story: ProPublica went inside the immigrant detention center for families in Dilley, Texas. Children held there told us about the anguish of being ripped from their lives in the U.S. and the fear of what comes next. @micarosenberg.bsky.social

Un halftime inolvidable ❤️

Happy Black History Month!

Bad Bunny makes history! First Spanish album to win Album of the Year at the Grammys.

“Before I say thanks to God, I’m going to say ICE out. We’re not savage, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens. We are humans, and we are Americans.” “The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love. We love our people. We love our family, and that’s the way to do it. With love.” - Bad Bunny

Olivia Dean during her #GRAMMYs acceptance speech for Best New Artist: “I’m up here as the granddaughter of an immigrant, I’m a product of bravery and I think those people deserve to be celebrated.”

Beautiful speech from Shaboozey. “Immigrants built this country.” “Thank you for bringing your culture, your music, your stories, and your traditions here. You give America color, I love y’all so much.” youtu.be/3k1DVKxCxp4?...

Journalist Georgia Fort has been released from custody (video @fox9mn.bsky.social)

The Trump administration is invoking a Reconstruction-era law meant to protect Black people from the KKK to target Black journalists and activists.

#BREAKING: During a town hall event on Tuesday, Rep. Ilhan Omar @ilhanmn.bsky.social was assaulted by an attendee who sprayed her with an unknown substance and demanded she resign from Congress. She declined treatment and continued the event a few moments later.

Hard to say how many showed up for Alex Pretti’s vigil, but easily hundreds if not thousands. After community activists and leaders spoke at the park where they gathered, everyone marched to the site of Pretti’s killing. Streets just filled with people demanding ICE out.

There is no indication based on the available video evidence that he tried to harm federal agents, much less inflict “maximum damage” or “massacre” people.

“There’s a time to stand up for things, and this is it. If it takes away from a day of our income, that is worthwhile.”

In December, Pastor Sergio Amezcua put out a sign-up for Minnesotans who were afraid to leave their homes and needed grocery deliveries. Since then, his church, Dios Habla Hoy, has delivered food to 17,000 families. From Mother Jones senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social in Minneapolis.

A little girl can’t go to the park with her parents. A mother trembles while taking out the trash. A father peeks through the blinds to see if anyone is watching. Years earlier, this family faced persecution in Venezuela, but now they’re living in terror in the US. Read more: https://bit.ly/49P2Sc1

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day!

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

“They are not here to cause safety in this city,” Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said in a press conference following the shooting. “What they are doing is causing chaos and distrust,” he continued, “and in this case, quite literally killing people.”

In the first Trump administration, cruelty was the point. Now, it is the norm. Virtually every part of the immigration system has been made harder and riskier, as if repurposed only to punish people for one of the most universal experiences there is: migration. Read more: http://bit.ly/3LfsZ3p

¡Feliz Navidad!

Happening now near Canal Street, federal agents had been staging inside a fed owned parking garage, now being confronted by a group of protesters. masked agents are looking on from above.

I checked in with Curtis Sliwa. He still doesn't care what you think. "Everybody loves Curtis,” the failed Republican candidate told me a couple hours ago, despite mounting evidence to the contrary. New @motherjones.com: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
