- JUST IN: SCOTUS declines to take up challenge to Gov. Newsom's redistricting effort in California.
- This is my hometown - Buda, Texas. Guy runs up and starts pummeling one of the girls. I am so proud of these high school students standing up for their neighbors. There are more of us than the fascist dipshits, and there's safety in numbers. www.kxan.com/news/local/b...
- Lawyers are looking at the long game and considering the likelihood of a courtroom scenario that has no modern precedent in state history: criminal charges being filed by the state, without the cooperation of the federal government, against federal officers for use of deadly force.
- Khang said there were no warning signs that immigration authorities were looking for him before he was detained on Jan. 21.

- Grok produced an estimated 3 MILLION sexualized images in just 11 days. According to the Washington Post, xAI intentionally tried to "embrace" sexualized imagery to increase Grok's popularity. We must hold Grok and X accountable for exploiting women & kids just to line their own pockets👇

- This is what oligarchy is about: If you paid 1 penny in federal income taxes last year, you paid more than Tesla - a $1.3 trillion company owned by Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive, who became $460 billion richer since Election Day after spending $290 million to elect Trump.

- "In my few days in Minnesota, I’ve been witness to countless scenes that remind me of moments I’ve seen during previous trips covering conflicts around the world," photojournalist @cengizyar.com writes. "The wars we’ve carried out as a nation abroad have come home." More: propub.li/4acxEeY
