It's the 104 year anniversary of Franklin Roosevelt being stricken with Polio. The US has been polio free since 1979. Because of... well, you know.

The President cannot commandeer any local law enforcement. The President does not run the Smithsonian. The monthly BLS jobs report is required by law. Release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

House Democrats are urging the Department of Homeland Security to mandate that immigration officials clearly identify themselves when conducting arrests. The demand comes in the wake of multiple reports of men impersonating ICE agents to kidnap and assault women.

With calm and confidence 💯

I still can't believe actual adults use the word "woke" as a pejorative, knowing full well they can't even explain what they mean by the term.

Stephen Miller tried to claim only real "Americans" built the Empire State Building, but he left out the true stories of the Indigenous ironworkers who actually did. The Mohawk Skywalkers helped shape America's skylines—and shatter the lie behind Miller’s whitewashed nostalgia.

Clearly this is not about making DC, or any of us, safer.

Some of our leaders in Washington need to head “back to school” to educate themselves about the safety and effectiveness of vaccines.

Residents and demonstrators in Washington, DC, react to Trump's plan to fight crime in the city by federalizing the police and deploying the National Guard.

No, JD, belonging in America does not depend on how many generations of your family have lived here. The values of this country matter - deeply - to who we are and what it means to be American.

Rep. Adam Smith: "Look, it's pretty clear the president wants his own domestic police force and step by step he's trying to create it. We should be deeply alarmed by that regardless of how you feel about crime in DC or any other city ... it's a huge step toward an autocratic government."

Koh: If he were serious about cutting crime he wouldn't be proposing cutting $400 million from the ATF or cutting $500 million from the FBI, 700 agents or the DEA with with drug enforcement or the office of violence against women, 100 million from there

Well.

This an awesome idea, Canada & will solidify your place on the World Stage.

This makes sadder than anything I have seen since January 20, 2025. I so wanted to be wrong.

Urban View is keeping the eye on The National Association of Black Bookstores, which will support and promote Black booksellers. Here is a list of over 200 black-owned bookstores across the country awesomelyluvvie.com/2025/02/blac... @shawnarenee.bsky.social

The last time I believe the National Guard being deployed in my home town -- I am 65 -- was April 1968 in the wake of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Not after DC had the lowest crime rate in 30 years. This = to when Ft. Sumter was fired upon. It is the start of the next Civil War.

Yes it does say everything.

So, no national guard on January 6th, but definitely on August 11th. Makes total sense.

Oh good, at least someone isn’t ignoring that this happened — as the Sunday shows and press corps say nothing. Felt like we were losing our minds.

The United States government has declared war on people of color in this country. Make no mistake about what is happening.

Heck yeah! Keep fighting

Unbelievable

This morning Donald Trump listed a bunch of Black & Brown American cities as places he wants to invade after he uses the American military & the DC police to take over DC. He claims that DC is in the middle of some sort of crime wave. The statistics say that is not true. This is fascism in action.

Thank you Woody Guthrie for the wonderful song, “This Land is Your Land”. He wrote the song after seeing America, especially the marginalized. The poverty & the hardship so many faced moved him. If only this cruel GOP had heart instead of greed. Watch🩵 #DemVoice1 www.cbsnews.com/video/these-...

Hey Texas! If you shop at HEB, there's good news. I didn't realize. They're a great store too!

Greg Abbott’s acting like non-Americans are secretly running Texas elections, when the real threat to democracy is him and his voter suppression machine. The Constitution is clear: only U.S. citizens can vote in federal and state elections. Fourteenth Amendment, Section 1

Taking a stand against Trump’s emerging ICE police state is not just about standing up for immigrants and protecting our communities. It’s a stand against fascism. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-you-and-your-neighbors-can-become

6% of DC voted for Trump. It’s repeatedly rejected him. His hatred for DC is white-hot. What he does Monday comes exclusively his from hatred for nonwhites and other citizens who reject him. It has nothing to do with violent crime rates in DC—which are plummeting dramatically.
