I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

It’s a quick and easy add-on when you call your senators to tell them you don’t want ICE “reformed,” you want it abolished and dismantled!
In 2023, Biden enacted a 20-year ban on mining in the Boundary Waters, the MOST VISITED wilderness in the U.S. This wilderness contains numerous critical ecosystems. Mining will endanger it forever.
Senate will vote as early as today: CALL YOUR Senators AND TELL THEM NO. (202) 224-3121

This is the second powerful essay @oliviagiovetti.bsky.social has written in less than a fortnight about Jeffrey Epstein’s influence at the highest levels of the classical music scene in particular and among “elite” cultural circles in general.

If you live in NYC’s District 3, you have the opportunity to send a fierce advocate for justice to the City Council this year, someone who’s demonstrated that she can’t be easily intimidated by oligarchs or powermongers.
I took down Andrew Cuomo, now I'm running for City Council to take on the cost of living crisis.

I’m gonna remember this “if there’s no funding for my department, we are no longer bound by your laws” gambit; I’m sure it will come in handy one day if I ever go into public service.
BREAKING: On February 2, Sec. Noem issued a memo asserting the lapse in appropriations for DHS meant there is no Sec. 527 — the provision protecting congressional oversight visits to immigration detention facilities — and she was issuing a new (third) policy requiring seven-day notice for visits.

Yeah. A five-year-old kid who had just been liberated from a concentration camp only to face a new threat of immediate deportation was not going to be taken by his parents to a stadium full of screaming people and forced to perform a brief moment of levity in the middle of an elaborate stage show.
I think collectively, we at least partially wanted the child at the Super Bowl to be Liam because the little boy on stage looked happy and healthy and our hearts want so badly to think these children can somehow magically recover from the evils our government is doing.
Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family.
“He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

Instead of declaring that everything that isn’t directly related to your greatest fear for the future is a “distraction,” why not recognize that we’re running headlong into a polycrisis?

Does anyone else have an MST3K line they use regularly, even if it makes no sense out of context?
Because I have both "That'll keep your panfish down for a while." and "Come come, boys, we must confound Jerry at every turn!" from MST3K the movie alone.

Our two responses to white supremacists should be “we WILL replace you” and, as outlined here, “stay mad.”
Well, okay, three if you count “fix your heart or die.”

The reality is America is a huge multicultural multilingual country, not a white ethnostate, and venomous white supremacist MAGA crybabies lose it whenever that reality becomes unignorable. We should always seek to increase, not decrease, their discomfort. www.the-reframe.com/hating-the-g...

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.
