Blumenthal: "I'm a no vote on that spending bill unless there are conditions that require ICE to go to a judge, to get a warrant, as well as other kinds of constraints -- the use of masks, the non-identification, the unmarked cars. These secret police, totalitarian tactics need to be stopped."

It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing

Hellebore from Tassie on not #flowerfriday. @stuartcarnie.bsky.social

Enough! This is exactly why ICE should be required to identify themselves. If ICE looks like criminals and thugs, they should be regarded as such. 🚨 Yesterday, an L.A. man was arrested for impersonating a federal agent. Loaded gun, fake documents, cop gear and even blinking & blue on his car

I totally agree!!

Baby, we were BORN TO RUN!...

Mortgage rates are higher now than they were when the Fed began cutting last September. 🤡

Call your Rep. and Senator every day. Capitol switchboard (202) 224-3121. Email them through their websites. Tell them this: 1. Call for impeachment. Loudly. Daily. 2. Visit the concentration camps in El Salvador and demand to see your constituents. Or don’t ask for money… (Please repost)

I want politics to be about a better everyday life. Here's what that can look like:

Our cover this week.

Maddow: 88% of the country says no, no, he cannot defy a supreme court ruling. Only 9% say yes he can. And you know, it's not the same thing. But I should mention that 9% is also the proportion of Americans who told yougov this week that they have a favorable view of the black plague

THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO PUT IT.

The Last Buffet

Pretty remarkable that there's no part of the allegedly Christian MAGA agenda that involves being nice to people.

THIS is what the world thinks of the #HandsOff protests: "When you go to protest, you aren't just expending energy, you're creating it. Like a candle lighting another candle."

BREAKING: The country of Norway just entered a bill to give transgender Americans asylum in the country of Norway… LGBTQ+ STRONG! 🌈✨

Yes, when you back Russia, you are taking the side of Iran and North Korea.

The Trump administration announced plans to expand drilling in the Arctic, including in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The Interior Department stated it would begin steps to open the entire 1.56 million-acre Coastal Plain of the refuge to oil and gas exploration.

Social Security recipients live on an average of $58 a day—an amount Lutnick likely couldn’t survive on for a single day.

Billionaire Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick: “Let’s say Social Security didn’t send out their checks this month. My mother, who’s 94, wouldn’t call and complain,” he said. “Whoever screams is the one stealing.”

Welcome to all our new followers! 💚

Sick of this. You don't get to erase the contributions of the people that helped contribute to the success of our nation. Who the hell tries to erase Bea Arthur's Marine Corps service?!

May anyone filled with such completely vile ignorance suffer an eternity of hell. elon is a a deadbeat "dad" step the fuck up judges and make the shit stain pay his child support.

Count me in for a general strike or massive protest. The most successful protests so far have been outside Tesla dealerships. We need more people to wake up and realize this is going to do irreversible damage if they don’t start resisting.

Congratulations to @schumer.senate.gov and the others who just played into the hands of an insane dictator who just said it's illegal for cnn and msnbc to criticize him

Far out @jetstarairways.bsky.social. 2 hours on a 30 degree plane, stuck on the tarmac. Delayed disembarkation at LST.

These numbers seem important

I'm struggling to get over what we saw today. The amount of gaslighting, cruelty, ignorance, abject cowardice, arrogance, indifference to human life, and deceit we saw from Trump and Vance...we saw behavior we associate with enemies of the United States inside the Oval Office. That's traumatizing.

Anger. Righteous anger. We need more of it in this country.

Another “the cruelty is the point” move by the Trump Administration: www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

This should concern you more than any executive order so far. www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/fe...

Starting to wonder if the fact that I got a History degree might not have been the best idea, because man, I know what's about to happen here and it's stressing me the fuck out.

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

If you’re not confirmed by the Senate then you have no business meddling in the lives of MILLIONS of Americans We are suing DOGE for violating the constitution & illegally seizing power I’ll discuss tonight @ 8PM ET on @insidewithpsaki.msnbc.com 👇 statedemocracydefenders.org/fund/new-law...

The most unpatriotic members of any society are the far right. They will always align with foreign interests against the interests of their own nations. They will always undermine national institutions and national values in pursuit of their own interests. When they pose as patriots, they lie.

THIS IS PERFECT.

This.
