- We just wanted to say thank you to the people of Florida for standing up. Two Florida voters have taken legal action against the governor after he issued a proclamation to convene a special legislative session on congressional redistricting this April. Their filing with the state’s highest court
- This is an authoritarian power grab, full stop. Nationalizing elections would put the executive branch in control of who votes and how. That’s how dictators rig outcomes, crush opposition, and assault democratic self-government. This should alarm everyone: www.ms.now/news/trump-s...
- Operation Metro Surge is hurting small business and doing long-term damage to Minnesota’s economy. It’s time for this campaign of retribution to end. www.kare11.com/article/news...

- Imagine if four years into our war in Iraq we had only occupied 20 percent of it and lost 1.2 million men. Would anyone say the US is winning? No? Then how in the hell can you say Russia is winning?!

- Remembering Dr. Maryam Mirzakhani on #WorldCancerDay. Dr. Mirzakhani was first woman to win the Fields Medal, the most prestigious award in #mathematics. She died in 2017 from #breastcancer at the age of 40. stanford.io/2C0io2A #WomenInSTEM
- Sadly, this actually sounds totally possible.
- Do they all get deported now? Is that how this works?
- the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex
- If you were a journalist or creative that was laid off by the Washington Post and you want to work for an independent, pro democracy news outlet, Democracy Docket is hiring. bit.ly/45Qaw4K
- Cape May's "ghost tracks" are century-old, rusted railroad remnants buried in the sand at Higbee Beach and Sunset Beach in New Jersey, used for sand mining and World War I munitions, only appearing after major storms reveal them before being reburied again by sand.
- Far too many ICE agents are lawless, cruel and despicable bullies.
- It is really infuriating to see how misogyny really does unite men across the sociopolitical spectrum. And, in so far as the Epstein files go, they sort women into two categories: fuckable or irrelevant. When they near a hint of accountability they complain about not being able to make women prey.
- The orange felon says he doesn’t know why Tulsi Moscow Gabbard was at the raid on a Georgia election office and Tulsi says she was ordered by him to be there. This treasonous diabolical scandal is growing bigger by the day and the American state media have no interest in it.

- 👀Now that ICE/DHS are planning to buy ‘mega’ warehouse detention centers across the US to house human beings you might want to listen to this gentleman’s history lesson that he delivered at a city council meeting in AZ. Congress needs to have hearings on this like yesterday.
- 🔥 @brotherjones.bsky.social: “PSA for my Republican colleagues— there’s a Super Bowl halftime show, I know some of you will be triggered by Bad Bunny… you should know he’s from Puerto Rico, which is in 🇺🇸. You may watch the TP USA show, just know Kid Rock sings about underage girls.”
- Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

- Modernist poet Marianne Moore died #OTD in 1972. Her book, 𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘗𝘰𝘦𝘮𝘴, won the #Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award & the Bollingen Prize in 1951. For her full body of work, she was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature by Nobel Committee member Erik Lindegren, 1968. #poetry #booksky

- This is probably the craziest thing I've ever seen. One does not simply lose the professional wrestling crowd.
- one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

- HRC knows what all Twilight fans know. Vampires are scared of the sunlight.
- I’m betting Comer will suddenly lose interest in this hearing.
- At this point, some leaked videos might help.
- Excellent news.

- Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.
