I plan on watching @moveon.org and @meidastouch.com #SOTU These are NOT normal times and I applaud this effort and every member of Congress, who are courageous enough to join this event. When we look back in history, we will see who stood up for the PEOPLE!! What are you going to be doing tonight?

A bit late today but the Tuesday edition of the virus update is now out with the latest news and data including some virus hotspots in what I now call hotspot Tuesday. A Look At Hotspots For Covid, Flu And Other Viruses In The US youtu.be/vK8c17CYzbw?... via

🎉 Announcing the Blue26.org State of the Union Fundraising Challenge! It’s pretty simple: I’m looking to raise at least $10,000 for Democrats during the 2026 SOTU this evening. That’s pretty much it…pick a page, any page, and chip in whatever you can to whatever candidates you prefer. 1/

Today in JAMA Net Op: Patients with cancer & their families want COVlD safety. A recent pilot study to provide comprehensive COVlD Defense Kits to adults with cancer led to a waiting list of >360 families -- high demand! tinyurl.com/jamanocovid Details & pics in thread 🧵

Worth mention that there will still be three times that many secret police roaming the streets of Minneapolis shooting and assaulting everything that moves. This is like taking the faucet turned to so blistering hot that it’s giving you third degree burns and turning it down to second degree burns.

As seen at CVS in Jenkintown PA. They now have the 4 in 1 test kits that include RSV.

Decided to do a full Tuesday edition of the virus update, as the amount of news called for one today. We Got A Major Problem: New Virus Outbreaks Are Popping Up Everywhere. youtu.be/v8O3_5eo5xo?... via @YouTube

What I need Congress to understand is that like Trump, much of what ICE does in full view of the cameras is already illegal. We don’t need more documentation of the crimes. We need consequences for the crimes. Until you have a plan for that, I don’t want to hear about cameras and training.

MINNESOTA wraps up 2026 #ACA Open Enrollment w/139K plan selections, down 8.1% y/y They also report a 50% increase in cancellations already & more than twice as many enrollees "buying down" to worse plans to mitigate premium spikes acasignups.net/26/02/03/min...

Here’s a useful reminder of what our federal courts SHOULD be doing to uphold our constitutional traditions:

Follow @michael-hoerger.bsky.social👇 Michael Hoerger: "During #COVlD" is today. In fact, the recent wave peak was about double the estimates of each of the first 3 waves. Most infections are on the back end of waves. Repeat infections add cumulative harms. #maskup 😷

20% off FlowFlex COVlD tests at Pharmalynk. It's the test I trust and the company I've ordered from consistently the past 2 years. Better validity and lower cost than other rapid antigen tests. I do not receive any revenue from any product or company, just a good deal.

Black History Month is a time to recognize the lived, shared experience of all Black folks who have fundamentally shaped, challenged, and ultimately strengthened America. It’s about taking an unvarnished look at the past so that we can create a better future.

My kitten, Gilbert, is fighting to recover from FIP. Contributions received so far were just enough to cover the initial emergency costs and his treatment through January. A donation and sharing this link with others would make a real difference. 🙏🖤🐈‍⬛ #CatsOfBlueSky #Minterland gofund.me/d4f655229

To all the Minnesotans who are making their voices heard and protesting peacefully: The world is watching, and when change comes, it will be because of you.

A quick reminder that you can donate *directly* to literally dozens of 2026 Democratic candidates at once here: Blue26.org —nothing goes to me —pick & choose which candidates to donate to —you can opt out of sharing your email/phone w/the campaigns —red/blue leans included whenever possible

"We'll take our stand for this land & the stranger in our midst..." Powerful. Brutal. Inspirational. A loving tribute to Renée Good, Alex Pretti & the good people of Minneapolis. Plus, it name-checks all the villains: the Puppy Killer🐶, Pee-Wee German🇩🇪, the Orange Atrocity🍊💩 & above all: ICE🧊🚫 1/

#Minterland friends If you’re able to contribute to little Gilbert’s treatment costs, that would be so appreciated & would make a huge impact - even $5 makes a difference ❤️ But regardless, please share this link - the more eyes that see this, the more likely the target will be achieved Thank you🙏🏼

💙 #Minneapolis 🎶 Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice Singing through the bloody mist We’ll take our stand for this land And the stranger in our midst Here in our home they killed and roamed In the winter of ’26 We’ll remember the names of those who died On the streets of Minneapolis 🎶

In Minneapolis and many other communities across the country, we're seeing people come together to peacefully protest and support their neighbors. If you're looking to get involved, here are some ways to help:

#Minterland let's share 💜

FIP is now a treatable illness. I know three cats who have survived it. But it is very expensive to treat. If you'd like to make a difference in a cat's life and in the human who loves him, this is a way you can make a direct impact.

I’m facing overwhelming costs to save my kitten's life. A donation and sharing this link with others who might be able to help would make a real difference. Every bit of support helps, and none of it is taken for granted. #CatsOfBlueSky 🙏🖤🐈‍⬛ #WhiskersWednesday gofund.me/e6bbd42c2

I made a promise to Alex’s parents to continue to tell his story. An ICU nurse at the VA, an outdoorsman, a deeply generous, compassionate friend and family member, and a true son of Minnesota. Rest in peace, Alex.

Happy Taco Tuesday because taco cat spelled backwards is taco cat... Please, help me save Gilbert. Sharing this link with others who might be able to help would make a real difference. 🙏🖤🐈‍⬛ #catsofbluesky #tuesdaymotivaton gofund.me/0492de9f2

If you’re struggling to identify why this footage has wrecked your world, these are the words you’re looking for. “The state didn’t just shoot a protester. It shot someone in the act of trying to protect a woman. It shot a man whose last visible choice was compassion.”

👀 ...what could possibly go wrong?

ALEX JEFFREY PRETTI. Gone, but never forgotten... #RIP_Alex 💔

Job: full time autopsy forensic pathologist position in New Zealand for anyone interested in working in a beautiful country with a functioning democracy. Been here since 2020 & love it. Ask me anything & I’ll respond in comments. Graduating fellows encouraged to apply. tinyurl.com/bdpkvxpt

🚨 The development that Bondi is illegally demanding voter records from Minnesota is a good reminder of how important Secretaries of State and Attorneys General are. secure.actblue.com/donate/agsos...

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

If you’re looking for ways to help Minnesota as they peacefully protest the occupation of their state by the Trump regime, this is a good place to start. www.standwithminnesota.com

During this 12th COVlD wave, the CDC reports 1-in-3 states have "High" or "Very High" levels. PMC estimates the proportion of residents actively infectious (prevalence): ◾️USA: 1 in 67 ◾️IA: 1 in 27 ◾️MI: 1 in 25 ◾️IN & CT: 1 in 23 ◾️ME: 1 in 21 ◾️OK & SD: 1 in 17 🧵1/4

We're horrified & outraged: Immigration agents have once again committed cold-blooded murder of a public observer who posed no threat to them. This time, they've executed a fellow nurse, Alex Pretti. We demand justice and accountability. Abolish ICE, now! https://bit.ly/4big77u

They think they can provoke us into abandoning our values. They are wrong. We will keep the peace. We will secure justice for our neighbors. And we will see this occupation end.

🚨🚨🚨 I just realized that BOTH special elections THIS TUESDAY are in MINNESOTA...one is in Maplewood/Woodbury, the other is in ST. PAUL. Can someone give some info on the election security/access situation?? @dfl.org @mplsdfl.org @mnhousedfl.bsky.social @dexanderson.com @whstancil.bsky.social

Based on today's CDC & Biobot data, we estimate the following for the week of Jan 19: 🔸1 in 52 people in the U.S. actively infectious 🔸25% chance of exposure in a room of 15 ppl 🔸Nearly 1 million new daily infections 🔸5 cumulative infections per person all-time (avg) 🧵1/5
