- 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...
- If federal agents violate the law, they should be identified, investigated, and prosecuted. Every DA in this country should be this clear. No agency is above the law. Including ICE. #SheShed #Voices4Victory
- The president had his DOJ raid an election office and prosecute political opponents while he threatens to take over elections, Sadly, this is treated by legacy media as just another normal day. I founded Democracy Docket because you deserve better. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0
- Today, hundreds of Seattle high school students walked out of class and gathered on the steps of City Hall in solidarity with Minneapolis, calling on elected officials to defund ICE and showing support for immigrant students in their communities.
- Trump has posted on Truth Social about 65 times in the last 90 minutes, including a video he posted at 8:44 PM PT describing election fraud lies that shows racist AI images of Michelle and Barack Obama as monkeys at the end. I’ve confirmed this is real and watched it myself. 25th Amendment now.
- Gas at $1.99 in three states? Sure, right next to his healthcare plan, infrastructure week, and the truth. Delusional Donnie’s $1.99 gas exists in the same place as his honesty! In his mushy pea brain! 🧠😵💫 #SheShed #DefendersOfDemocracy
- 📌On one hand, it's a relief people are FINALLY understanding Trump and his slobbery Republicans are nothing but anti-American fascists. On the other hand, if I hear another person tell me these cowards are going to stop our vote, I want to put a foot up their ass. Seriously, get a hold of yourself.
- I have worked with hundreds of Alaskans in 8a-supported Native corporations who voted for Chump, both Native and non-Native. They are just now realizing his racism has no boundaries, to their own downfall. This is devastating to my state, to my city.

- Big Oil "purchased solar and EV patents to ensure others couldn’t use them, solicited control of renewable markets and then abandoned them, and funded powerful institutions to promote false solutions, all while using trade groups to downplay the harms of fossil fuels, according to the complaint." 😠
- Good time to reup this post from last month.
- The Trump DOJ, led by Pamela Jo, lies and labels their political opponents “domestic terrorists” & they’re misusing an existing federal statute to jack-up routine prosecutions to "Material Support to Terrorism" cases. My take on this perversion of justice that targets us: youtu.be/R5BG26dtsXg?...
- It’s time to start blaming all Republicans not just Trump. Trump could not do anything without them.
- Yes they should.
- Tom Homan: “You’re not going to stop ICE. You’re not going to stop border patrol” Ilhan Omar: “Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it”
- We can’t have someone enforcing the law who isn’t even following the law himself. The American people deserve to know if Tom Homan took $50k from an FBI undercover agent and what he did with the money.
- Trump has built a militia of criminals and sociopaths that has a larger budget than our whole military. The reason is he wants them to help him stay in office. He wants them loyal to only him.

- Cardiologist Dr. Helen Taussig founded the field of pediatric cardiology. Co-developed the Blalock-Thomas-Taussig shunt in 1944. This groundbreaking surgical procedure treated "blue baby syndrome" saving thousands of infants who previously had no treatment option. #WomensPhysiciansDay #WomenInSTEM
- Pierogi for dinner 🥟
- If ICE agents didn't wear masks, they would be FAMOUS for all the wrong reasons. So if you wanna see mass resignations, prevent them from wearing masks. That said, abolishing ICE is the only way to truly prevent more violence, harm and murder.
- A local bakery sells frozen uncooked falafel, so I got a pack to try. I pan fried these in just a half tablespoon of oil, and they turned out so great (I often find the local deep fried falafel too greasy). Also got the pita bread from them.
- Garcia: I want to remind the American public of Stephen Miller. There's probably no single person in this government that has done more damage and more harm to people across this country than this man right here. It's our job to hold him responsible
- Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power. They don’t want normal people to see what is happening in America.

- #OTD in 1995, astronaut Eileen Collins became the first female pilot of a NASA space shuttle. She piloted the Space Shuttle Discovery during mission STS-63, a mission that included the first-ever rendezvous between a US space shuttle & the Russian space station Mir. #WomenInSTEM #AstronautEnvy 🚀
- Jan 6 hero Harry Dunn aka @libradunn1.bsky.social is running for Congress. Harry told me on the phone last night he was motivated to run after seeing Alex Pretti being gunned down in Minneapolis. Here’s Harry’s inspiring campaign launch video: youtu.be/KzUVfHPUVvw

- Whistleblower puts Tulsi on notice that he will go to Congress himself if her office doesn’t respond by Friday.
- U.S. District Judge Hellerstein will consider moving Trump's criminal hush money case in NY to federal court, where Trump will have Pam Bondi overturn his conviction. Trump's paid bribe to Stormy Daniels happened BEFORE he took office, so IMO, HE'S NOT ENTITLED TO USE HIS #SCOTUS6 IMMUNITY CARD! 😡
- Wishing you a really lovely Wednesday 4 February. I hope you have a lovely day and that this Wednesday is kind to you :)
- people need to stop using the term “law enforcement” so lightly. ICE has never once enforced any laws. they break laws constantly. cops are no better. the only people i’d consider true law enforcers are traffic guards, and they don’t even need a gun to do their job.
- St Wilfrid's Church iRibchester Lancashire, The pulpit is octagonal and constructed of oak. Dating from 1636 The north arcade opens into a chapel which contains fragments of a wall painting of Saint Christopher from the 14th or 15th century. #WallsonWednesday #WindowsonWednesday
- Forget-me-nots will soon be flowering in our garden making these two resident stone rabbits happy!
- Workers at the St. Paul toy store used a 3D printer to make thousands of free whistles for people to alert others of the presence of immigration agents. Then DHS officials confirmed that it had opened an investigation into the store. www.themarshallproject.org/2026/02/04/i...
- This is what Nicolás Maduro did in Venezuela. Nationalize voting, then clamp down on journalists and appoint only partisan judges. Becoming a dictator one step at a time. 🗽
- Abolish ICE because We don't want to be occupied, attacked, Imprisoned and Killed by the Fed. Government It's that simple and that Hard
- Spiral Galaxy NGC 1512: Wide Field apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap26020... Most galaxies don't have any rings -- why does this galaxy have three? To begin, a ring that's near NGC 1512's center -- and so hard to see here -- is the nuclear ring which glows brightly with recently formed stars
- I went to the nearest Barnes & Noble and awkwardly explained to someone at the help desk that I had a new book out and asked where it might be (it's genre fluid) and it was faced out (!) Then she took some pictures, had me sign their books, and said they'd already sold a copy. A win/win/win.
- Morning all. Warm and Windy. Lush around the creek but dry as a chip elsewhere - we need some rain! Enjoy the Day 🌞
- Some day, when we’re all celebrating, even MAGA will deny they ever supported Donald Trump. Check out the full video on my YouTube page (link below). Subscribe to stay informed! www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tQc...
