Thank you Bad Bunny for taking the California stage and using your voice at Super Bowl LX. A beautiful moment! Together, we are America.

everything is terrible so here’s the swedish chef doing rapper’s delight

If there's ever been a time to NOT be incrementalist, this is it. The most political capital you're gonna have is right now. And we got Gestapo death squads in MSP and TB spreading through concentration camps in Texas. If you can't find a win there, get out of politics. The Epstein Class, baby

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

“Renee was not the first person killed, and she was not the last,” Becca Good said. “You know my wife’s name and you know Alex’s name, but there are many others in this city being harmed that you don’t know — their families are hurting just like mine, even if they don’t look like mine.”

"It's more soccer moms than hardcore activists, they said. But the challenging conditions have brought them closer together. After knowing each other for just weeks, they feel like they’d give their lives to protect one another if necessary..." www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

He pleaded with them to stop but they just “laughed at me and hit me again.” “They were very racist people,” he said. “No one insulted them, neither me nor the other person they detained me with. It was their character, their racism toward us, for being immigrants.”

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

An 18-month-old baby held with her parents at a South Texas immigration detention center became so ill last month that she was rushed to a hospital— then sent back to detention days later, where she was denied medication doctors said she needed to survive. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

And here's a secret of the past decade: a lot of the crucial organizing/resistance work is done by women who look like nice mom-type ladies, often suburban variety, sometimes through nice organizations like churches. Sorry if anyone needs it to look like Che Guevara.

While people who would probably qualify as liberals risk their lives in the frozen streets of Minneapolis (and do similar brilliantly organized solidarity work in New Orleans and Chicago and many other cities), not sure what this is supposed to mean.

arts admin LinkedIn has been doing some back of the envelope math

What a disgrace. ICE may have handed a suspect in the largest jewelry heist in American history a free pass by deporting him before he ever faced trial. This is the result of Stephen Miller’s chaos. Reckless mismanagement that undermines public safety and makes a mockery of the justice system.

Virginia State Senator Louise Lucas is just a delight on every level

I hope all 23 Democratic Attorneys General open up simultaneous investigations into Elon's extraordinary lawlessness and depravity.

This is the ad that Fox News does NOT want you to see. Fox News rejected our newest ad, which demonstrates that Trump has “gone too far” with ICE. But we will not remain silent in the face of these attacks. Share our ad and follow @usjewishdems.bsky.social to join us in the fight.

WOW! WHITE HOUSE SAYS TRUMP DOESN’T WRITE HIS OWN TWEETS??? AUTOPEN!

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk became the first high-ranking official to ask the question on everyone’s mind — Was convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein working with Russia? He added that Poland would investigate possible links between Epstein and Russian intelligence services.

The latest batch of Epstein-related documents, released on Jan. 30, mentions Russia 5,876 times and Russian President Vladimir Putin 1,055 times.

Pour one out for every professional political pundit, writer, consultant whatever that has spent the last decade trying to pretend that the Trump phenomenon was about trade or opiates and not a big chunk of white america losing its mind over having a black president bsky.app/profile/kyle...

The entire anti wokeness nonsense of the past decade was about making this kind of gutter racism broadly acceptable again bsky.app/profile/adam...

a lot of ex-mil people on here who served in the gwot have noted, correctly, that the stuff ice is doing would a) have gotten them killed and/or b) gotten them in a lot of trouble. war crimey stuff was correctly treated like war crimes etc

Blumenthal: ICE and CBP are out of control. The practices of this agency have to be completely overhauled. It’s like a corporation in bankruptcy—either dissolved or reorganized. They’re morally bankrupt, legally bankrupt, and politically bankrupt.

This story should be amplified everywhere. Anyone with a heart will be moved by it, so share it across platforms & tell friends. We must speak out & fight like h'll to protect our neighbors from the ICE thugs that have infected our communities. www.instagram.com/reel/DUUBgsZ...

If we take no action — if inertia sets in — BART will essentially collapse & Muni, Caltrain & AC Transit will dramatically scale back service. We must not let this happen. It’s why I authored a new law authorizing a November regional revenue measure to keep transit strong.

TL;DR Donald Trump is blackmailing the country in exchange for naming rights

Trump is a racist bullying thing-skinned man whose last vestiges of impulse control have given way to some form of age degeneration.

Trump's holding the nation's transit hostage to get naming rights because he is a deranged and decompiling narcissist. After all, who in their right mind would want their name attached to Penn Station? www.nytimes.com/2026/02/06/u...

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

our government used a Blackhawk helicopter in a major American city, detained children and zip-tied U.S. citizens all to target... squatters and the alleged Tren de Aragua presence? "It was a brutal lie against the American public." www.propublica.org/article/chic...

much depends on legislative language but if you want to put some sand in the gears of ICE this is what it would look like

in real terms, #7 would give states leverage to put an end to surges, #8 would give states the ability to outright stop construction of new detention facilities, #1 and #6 would slow the rate at which DHS could train and deploy officers, #2 and #10 would likely shrink the pool of recruits

"DOGE’s objective was never to save taxpayer dollars. Musk did not 'fail'...DOGE was—and remains, through Vought’s OMB—an effort to extinguish the existing government and create a new one in the image of oligarchs and far-right ideologues."

For those who don't know, Luttig was once considered the intellectual heir to Scalia. He was about as conservative a judge as you could find...

Oh my god. She’s my senator and another constituent posted this response from her regarding the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

Great work by Greg Sargent. We are, right now, deciding whether we want to be a land of giant concentration camps and ethnic cleanings. newrepublic.com/article/2060...

Yes, we’re looking at you, Lisa Murkowski & Susan Collins & Thom Tillis, you absolute oath-violating cowards.

Again, I know everyone wants to yell at The Democrats & Chuck Schumer & Hakeem Jefferies, but there are 10-25 people in Washington who could literally end all of this tomorrow, & none of them are Democrats, & they continue to get 24/7 free passes for being absolute oath-violating cowards. Focus.

Dear Dems, as you draft your rein in ICE legislation there must be language that addresses the detention centers - both their inhumanity, and their dangerous expansion. This is critical. More 👇

Staggering levels of malevolence, national sabotage, and corruption.

A daily reminder that while there’s headline talk of “peace,” Russia continues its war against all Ukrainian civilians & their systems of resilience and survival, because the goal of the full-scale invasion has always been the annihilation of Ukraine as a nation, culture, language, and history

BREAKING: Over 680 members of the National Academy of Sciences, Medicine, and Engineering have endorsed articles of impeachment against RFK Jr. (1/2 🧵)

Can't forget that Maduro is a close Putin ally and this all could be a Russia-Witkoff-Kushner-Maduro ratfuc-ing operation in the US; and Maduro allowed he/his wife to be seized for a cut of the oil proceeds, to keep his party in power, and an eventual Trump pardon (like former Honduran President).

“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

A resident named Walter calmly took the mic and recounted an April 9, 1945 newspaper clipping about the liberation of the Ohrdruf concentration camp... "And we don't know exactly how ICE will use this warehouse. But we know enough." www.welcometohellworld.com/a-surprise-z...

There is a ton of literature on lawyers in Germany in the 1930s who thought they could handle it, maintain their morals, "assist from inside", or avoid blame while working for the Reich. They couldn't.
