- New: Immigration agents have shot a dozen people since Sept--yet police are often skipping any investigation After agents near Chicago killed a man, an officer asked if chief who would investigate. The answer: “You’re not going to investigate a federal officer” www.propublica.org/article/why-...
- one thing i have noticed is a lot of folks do not seem to understand the difference between a presidential election and 435+ legislative elections. i have seen any number of people say that you could subvert the outcome this november by targeting “swing states,” which does not make any sense.

View full threadanyway i know how many of you hate that i’m so vocal about this and think it makes me a naive shitlib or whatever. but again, i think the best thing you could do for yourself here is to get involved in election administration where you live.
- you personally have the ability to secure elections for yourself and your neighbors.

- NEW: I spent hours combing through the references to #MeToo in the latest tranche of Epstein files. I found Epstein closely tracked the fallout of #MeToo, joked about being in a "pariahs club," and advised men accused of misconduct behind the scenes 19thnews.org/2026/02/jeff...
- Deplorable.
- wow -- with Trump standing behind him, a man (not sure who he is) offers this prayer: "We pray that he would be mindful of the poor and that he would be invested in the alleviation of suffering happening in the families preparing to bury their loved ones in Minneapolis."

- One thing that is on my mind this morning: There is a dangerous counterfactual attack on e-bikes all across the US right now and there are no bike companies or bike orgs pushing back with clear storytelling to combat it. A multi-billion dollar industry without a clear comms strategy.

- Trump is the most pitiful piece of shit President our country has ever had. Worse than Harding, worse than Hoover, worse than Jackson and that is saying a lot.
- 🚨 New: We built a visual tracker of the warehouses ICE is targeting across the US. Working off an idea from @actualkatherine.bsky.social, we’ve mapped active searches, canceled deals, and linked state property records. Explore the map here: tinyurl.com/ICEWarehouse...

- I'm endorsing Gov. @KathyHochul because she's someone willing to engage in honest dialogue that delivers results. Along with the movement that powered our campaign, it's how we secured a historic agreement on childcare. And we're just getting started. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

- William Nordhaus received the Nobel Memorial Prize for these flawed economic models, and Bjorn Lomborg built a highly lucrative career on them. They told rich and powerful people what they wanted to hear. While helping to consign us all to catastrophe. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

View full threadA major enabler, funder and amplifier of Bjorn Lomborg is Bill Gates, who simultaneously sought to position himself as a climate hero (fooling some people who really should have known better). Billionaires gonna billionaire.
- Incidentally, it is such flawed models which feed into the "Abundance" agenda: we can just keep growing and taking, and everything's going to be fine ...

- William Nordhaus is the father of the fossil-fuel propaganda that "climate change won't cost that much, but net zero will be too expensive." Here's how Nordhaus lowballs climate damages in his economic models (screenshot from The Language of Climate Politics): 1/3

- If these “manosphere” podcasters are upset, they have themselves to thank. They sucked Trump’s dick all of 2024. Now they act surprised the guy Epstein called his best friend won’t release the full files, or that he’s actually doing mass deportations. What did these morons think would happen?
- Call your Dem Senators and ask them why they voted unanimously for the Sanders Amendment to defund ICE last week, but it's not on this list.
- I was wearing hi vis when a motorist drove into me. Passengers in the car got out to tell me the driver was really upset because she didn't see me. I didn't have much sympathy as I was picking gravel out of my hands. I was visible. She didn't look.
