New data shows the EPA’s scientific output has dropped sharply in the wake of recent staffing cuts, with peer-reviewed publications down significantly from just a year ago. Figures from Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility show the

Yes @microsoft.com in the middle of the work day is exactly when you should DEMAND that every one of your enterprise work tools needs to update and reboot. Once a week. Thank you, you're right, I wasn't working on any of those docs (as it shuts down as I'm typing). Ahhhhhh

There's the Epstein list. But I also want the crisis comms agencies and boutique law firms helping these invertebrates weasel out of culpability list.

“We should be questioning how power formed in a way that enabled a handful of people—in service of their quarterly returns—to make socially significant decisions on behalf of everyone else, without scrutability, without clarity, and without democratic oversight.” - @meredithmeredith.bsky.social

Can't stop thinking about this post from @ninaturner.bsky.social on fb

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

It's costing $5000-$7500 to bond out folks from ICE detainment. Even if they're here on work visas and have no criminal records. I've had 3 folks reach out about help with funds for this just today. And right now that's all happening thru friends, family, neighbors and direct mutual aid.

Murphy: The United States Congress should not fund a Department of Homeland Security that is not obeying the laws of the United States of America

🚨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 ⬇️

New story from @jcollins.bsky.social on ICE attempts to intimidate ICE Watch observers in Minneapolis, including ICE letting them know they know where they live—by leading them to their homes www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Goldman: Until DHS reins in this rogue and authoritarian ICE secret police force, there should be no more funding provided to DHS.

Just more stories from the twin cities... Two plain clothes men entered a Mexican restaurant in the burbs They walked to the back uninvited and kidnapped an employee. They tackled him, handcuffed him and threw him in the back of an unmarked SUV and raced off. He is a US citizen.

Tear-gassed by 10:30 in the morning, just another Tuesday in Minneapolis in 2026

The escalation is real and it's extreme

A contract justification published in a federal register on Tuesday says that 31 ICE vehicles operating in the Twin Cities area “lack the necessary emergency lights and sirens” to be “compliant.” www.wired.com/story/dozens...

Just another day in paradise.... A neighbor was stopped and harassed by ICE while acting as a legal observer. Next day she received a notice that her TSA pre check and global entry was revoked. No reasoning listed. #minnesota #iceout

Amanda is reporting from my area. Keep listening to what she's sharing.

Not surprising considering how aggressively they're driving and behaving.

I can't find this video on bluesky (apologies) but it's of ICE agents who broke into our Richfield Chipotle thru the back door detaining an employee. www.facebook.com/share/v/16wL...

I literally no longer know anyone of working age not almost exclusively shopping at Aldi. Not people making 6 figures. Not single people. Not two income families. No one.

Why would an online portal for unemployment benefits be only "open" limited hours. Make it make sense @dfl.org @governorwalz.mn.gov @ltgovflanagan.mn.gov We don't have childcare bc I lost my job & can't afford it. So those are hours I'm with my kids. Let me do it at 5am or on a Saturday FFS.

Y'all, please stop. I really don't wanna cheer for Slytherin Mit Romney. Not today. Not ever. No Newsom. He'd sell you and your first born for the next seat up the ambition chain. #gavinnewsom #la #california

The United Farm Workers, along with the entire labor movement, stands in strong solidarity with our comrade, labor leader David Huerta. We demand his immediate release and condemn indiscriminate sweeps targeting working class immigrants.

EVERYBODY WATCH. ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL. Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today. He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader. Don’t turn away.

Today, I was denied access to seeing my constituent, Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. If there is nothing to hide, cut the crap. Let his lawyer and I check on him.

When the topic is women the conflict is that women are failing society. When the topic is men it's that society is failing them.

If you’re attending the White House Correspondents Association dinner tonight, be sure to come prepared with a joke about the toddler cancer patient they just disappeared despite her being a citizen. Otherwise it’s going to be awkward when you’re mugging for photos with Stephen Miller.

Previous to the FDA, folks would put chalk and plaster of Paris in milk to make it appear white. They could also add formaldehyde to cover the smell and taste of spoiled milk.

Going back to catch up on some @bullseye.maximumfun.org and listening to the one from Feb with Tramell Tillman. Y'all.... Go listen to it. It's so good. As always @jessethorn.bsky.social is one of the best interviewers around and it's a lovely, deep, human conversation.

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.

fame, recognition and political power are all sitting there, waiting for democrats to take advantage of the moment!

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

It’s weird* that the president can just decide to put a huge tax on American businesses without congress even being a little bit involved. * very unconstitutional

i have been joking that their plan is for your kids to grow up to work in a textile mill but they are serious

NEW -- President Donald Trump skipped the return of four soldiers who died in a training exercise to Dover Air Force Base Friday and instead spent $4.2 million of taxpayer money to attend a dinner for one of his business interests and to play golf. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
