Well done cover of Buffalo Springfield’s song For What It’s Worth.

He said only the best people, so why are these considered his best?

“There’s nothing more American than the right to dissent and question authority. It’s who we are and how we became a country.” Drink from the #CupOfJoe that @crow.house.gov is serving.

Watching my daughter tell an agitator to go fuck themselves today just might be my proudest motherhood moment.

every epstein file drop underscores how elite power operates through shared socio-economic networks, regardless of people's ideological differences, populist posturing, or public feuds

Not “warehouses.” Concentration camps. Here, in America.👇

I am currently in negotiations with my daughter for her release on the actual video of said incident because I got it all on my meta glasses. 🤣

For more than 175 years, Black Californians have created timeless art and literature, led movements, and inspired great change.   As we celebrate the 100th anniversary of Black History Month, we recognize and honor the profound impact Black Americans have had on this country.

I guess they are pretty upset. For some reason.

Donald Trump is reposting crazy conspiracies about foreign interference with the 2020 election. Tulsi Gabbard's presence at the site of the Fulton County raid should worry all of us who care about free and fair elections.

despite the depravity of what I’ve seen at the hands of masked, armed agents indiscriminately targeting people from L.A. to Chicago to Charlotte to Minneapolis, watching everyday people taking peacefully to the streets is giving me extraordinary hope.

Hell, yeah. “I’ve got white skin, so I’m using my privilege to speak for my friends and neighbors. We’re telling them to stay home and stay safe, and we’re coming out and fighting for them.”

They tried intimidation. Minnesota answered with people.

🚨"The constitution, and the country, and democracy is at the most pivotal time in the history of the United States...we could be done for as a country," -one of THOUSANDS of Minneapolis protesters marching in general strike. LIVE NOW ⬇️

This isn’t okay :(

momentary exception to not posting to amplify how beautiful & powerful this Providence protest is #ICEout

Actions speak louder than words. Tom Homan says he wants to do things differently, but we have yet to see meaningful change. The only way to ensure the safety of the people of Minnesota is for the federal government to draw down their forces and end this campaign of brutality.

Thousands of people filled the streets of downtown Minneapolis in protest of federal immigration enforcement for the second consecutive Friday. 📷️: Aaron Lavinsky

Warnock to @PabloReports: These are the maneuvers of an authoritarian. This is the opposite of what we should see in a democratic republic.

Bruce Springsteen singing his new song "Streets of Minneapolis" at our very own First Avenue. A place where amazing artists like Prince got their start - this venue means so much to our state and it's incredible to see Bruce bring our community together.

Not your mother's protest here in Portland. High Schooler are out in force as part of the national strike.

"The largest immigrant deportation and prison contractors in the US are expecting an epic payout this year: for every $1 that they donated to GOP campaigns in 2024, these private companies stand to reap more than $11,000 in increased annual revenue."

NEW: Enormous anti-ICE, anti-Trump protest happening in Baltimore right now. Crowd stretching back over the horizon. (🎥 PSL Baltimore)

Okay I’m ngl, he was funny af for that answer 😭😂

Based in Minnesota, @minnmax.com usually covers games, but lately its creators have had to dip their toes into talking about what ICE is doing to their neighbors as well. At this point, they don't really have a choice. @yozetty.bsky.social explains:

Leading American companies — including Palantir, Deloitte, and private prison giant GEO Group — raked in over $22B from ICE and CBP contracts last year. Do not forget who is profiting from cruelty and human suffering.

Church St., Burlington, VT 1/30/26

The DOJ just took down pages with detailed descriptions of Trump engaged in child rape and other pedophilia. We don't know if they have been corroborated, but we already know this DOJ will deny everything on behalf of their client.

🚨"My mom is being arrested for documenting what happened at City Church—this is wrong. This goes against her first amendment right. She is not a protester, she is not an activist, she is a mom working to provide for her children,"-daughter of arrested journalist @bygeorgiafort.bsky.social

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again #epstein #FDT #FAFO #SaschaRiley

Green Day....Don't want to be an American idiot, this mindfuck of America isn't subliminal. it's the Mein Kampf playbook. #protest #america #fucktrump

Students at the University of Minnesota, united with hundreds of groups across the country, are imploring people, young and old, to join a general strike on Friday. No school, no work, no economic participation, all toward the goal of ceasing funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Lawyer for Epstein Survivors: It's consistent with what we've been seeing from the Department of Justice for quite some time now. It's an incompetent coverup. They're trying to cover up documents, to withhold documents, to keep things from the public, but worse, they're not good at it.

The arrests of Don Lemon and Georgia Fort underscore the gravity of this moment. This has never happened before in our history. We shouldn't pretend it's normal. More reason for us to hold the line and demand a DHS budget that stops funding lawlessness.

🗣️ @waltermasterson.bsky.social : “ICE agents get 47 days of training because Trump's the 47th president. It's literally that stupid… Dems could defund ICE in the appropriations bill… 7 House Dems already voted to fund ICE — They need to do more than a strongly worded letter.” #AbolishICE

The arrest of Don Lemon is textbook fascism—a brazen attempt to silence reporting on a criminal regime. Stand up for Don, because our rights stand and fall with those of courageous journalists throughout this country.

This is pretty on point.
