I guess he just got lucky.

"We will murder you if you dare to record us brutalizing your neighbors."

At least 11 people died and more than 1,400 residents sought emergency care for carbon monoxide poisonings during the 2021 winter storm in Texas. Here’s what you should know about keeping your family and home safe, especially during power outages (with @nbcnews.com):

Conditions in Gaza worsen as winds and hypothermia kill 5 https://aje.news/23euro

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents just launched flash bang grenades at protesters in front of federal building in Minneapolis—causing massive explosions. "It's terrorizing, this isn't the America I served for 20 years in the U.S. Navy," tearful protester tells us. WE'RE LIVE NOW ⬇️

America is now at the heavily armed secret police doing warrantless door-to-door house raids in search of undesirable ethnicities and/or political dissenters stage. The difference from well known historical cases is down to scale.

Using phony criminal charges to intimidate his opponents. Deploying masked thugs to terrorize American cities. Unilaterally threatening and bombing foreign countries. Trump is a ruthless dictator, plain and simple.

CBS buried an interview with a 25 year police veteran who clearly explains why ICE’s killing of Renee Good in Minnesota was unlawful and unjustified—just like they did with CECOT. So I’m airing it. This is the danger of billionaire owned media and censorship under the Trump regime.

Things I wish to leave in 2025: Shout-talking and eating in social media vids. Also ASMR in general. This headache I've had since October. Nonconsensual AI.

If we’ve learned anything these past few years, it's that: 1) Workers keep America going, not billionaires 2) Corporate profits don't trickle down to workers 3) Poverty is a policy choice 4) Health care is a human right 5) Strikes work Let's keep fighting for a better world.

If listing cases of 2025 US political violence, one would include the Charlie Kirk killing, the Melissa Horman killing (MN state legislator), and the CDC shooting. The president omitting Horman and CDC, but reaching back 8 years for a non-deadly shooting to cite, conveys approval of those shootings.

Israeli forces seize Gaza aid boat carrying Greta Thunberg flip.it/3TNvzs ISRAEL CAN NO LONGER TAKE THE HIGH ROAD. THEY HAVE FREELY CHOSEN TO ESCALATE AND COMMIT GENOCIDE COMPARABLE TO THE HOLOCAUST. NETANYAHU & HAMAS ARE MOSTLY TO BLAME. BUT ABOUT 50% OF THE ISRAELI POPULATION ARE OK WITH IT!

THIS. Totally invented problems used as the excuse to create actual problems.

Silence Is Complicity Straighten your spine Speak & live your truth

This.

If Trump can disappear green card holders for protesting war, he can disappear you. If he can disappear visa holders for criticizing him, he can disappear you. If he can disappear asylum seekers for tattoos, he can disappear you. We must speak out now — before there is no one left to speak out.

Rep Tom Barrett (MI-7) allegedly held a telephone town hall today but didn't send out info on joining to many people who registered. Way to act like you're listening to constituents by offering the most cowardly, lowest effort, least accessible option and then further cutting people out.

FRIEND: how are you? ME: [the least okay I’ve ever been] I’m okay

HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT? Maybe literally one fucking American newspapers could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.

Measles, mumps and rubella like this post.

It really is that simple. If Biden had announced he appointed Selena Gomez to shut down ICE, nobody would doubt that's illegal and unconstitutional. Appointing Musk to shut down USAID is no different.

Sen Welch (VT) -I want a disruptor, not a destroyer. -RFK making a deal with Trump does not equal competence. -RFK showed woeful ignorance even of the diff btwn Medicare and Medicaid.

Tillis (NC) thinks RFK will get Rx prices down by going after the supply chain rather than the drug companies. We know it costs pharma companies peanuts to produce the drugs they mark up by hundreds or thousands. So how's that gonna work ? #rfkhearing

Tillis thinks SNAP recipients have access to too much sugar. #rfkhearing

Sen Wyden from OR making statement against Musk overreach @ #RFK hearing. Great leadership Senator! Congress.gov/event/119th-congress/senate-event/336594

I love this story!

At the EPA, employees hired within the past year have been notified that “the agency reserves the right to terminate you immediately,” without justification. Reports suggest that demonstrating loyalty to the current administration’s agenda may improve the chances of retaining employment.

This is advice every dem politician should take to heart. Don’t sell against the competition. Sell what you are doing to reduce people’s stress and make their life better It’s not about what’s wrong with the competition. It’s about what is right with you

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

If you can't see that attacks on POC, women, queer ppl, disabled are all a Trojan horse to roll back the civil rights movement and undermine workers, to siphon more money to the rich, and to install a white supremacist Christian nationalism you're sorely misguided. The culture war is the class war.

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps. The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years. History is repeating. Pay attention.

When TikTok updates its terms and conditions we need to check it doesn't include a loyalty oath to any particular individual.

Did anything useful happen at the #PeoplesMarch? I have heard nothing about it all day.

Big meeting today and our VP said "I know this year has been difficult, and we're only 16 days in." 😳 How do I feel like I've aged ten years in two damn weeks.

With everything so seemingly terrible these days & no sign of anything remotely hopeful in the near future, I thought you might need this photo of a baby giraffe.

Veteran journalist @sulliview.bsky.social warns of the "one of a kind" threat Trump's return poses on a free press, and why she's worried we could see many in the media self-censoring. "Don’t throw up your hands. We have to stay engaged as citizens."

No, @nytimes.com - Trump LIED that the New Orleans suspect was an immigrant. HE LIED. The suspect is a US citizen & veteran. Are you capable of accurate reporting or are you so beholden to both sides'ism clickbait nonsense that even now you can't recognize a lie for what it is?

Can we PLEASE get good search results back? If I'm searching for quinoa, I expect to see all the quinoa products before you show me any couscous. If I wanted couscous, I'd search for couscous!! 🤷‍♀️

Sometimes it bums me out that I am not able to put people on blast on social media, even when they really, really, really deserve it.

What's an opinion you have that would make a bunch of people angry? Write it down in a notebook called, "Why would I want to make a bunch of people angry right now?" and then close that notebook and have some tea.
