“Islands in the Sky,” a crowd-funded graphic anthology, depicts Hurricane Helene through the stories of its survivors—with the help of some nationally recognized comic writers and artists.
Not sure I’d read a book on Catholicism by a guy who keeps getting personally called out by the Vatican for not understanding Catholicism.
Protests are terrific for raising awareness and building connections, but they're only the first step. If you want to follow through, check out this video and link up with your local organizations to do the important work ahead.
🚨 THIS JUST IN: With over 100 protests still to come, we can already estimate that at least 8 million people participated in No Kings protests today.
That makes No Kings 3 the largest single day of protest in American history. #NoKings
if nothing else, there is something to be said for spending time outside in the sun with thousands of people who share your anger at the state of things
This really says it all:
Trump voted by mail in today’s competitive special election for a Florida state House seat as he falsely condemns mail voting as fraudulent.
"Mail-in voting means mail-in cheating. I call it mail-in cheating, and we got to do something about it all," Trump said Monday.

I'll say it again: we could fully fund TSA, FEMA, the Coast Guard & other agencies within DHS TODAY. But Republicans keep blocking those efforts because they want a blank check for ICE & CBP.

I'm sorry, if you're going to make a big show about how you've got a Department of WAR helmed by a Secretary of WAR and staffed by WARfighters, it's totally inane to then claim that your massive bombing of a foreign country constitutes something other than a war.
St. Paul Public Schools parents group needs about $63k more to keep 174 families housed. March is soon, rent will be due. Can you chip in? Can you share?
North Carolina’s @katebarrcanwin.bsky.social gave us the perfect metaphor for what we are all doing in this perilous moment.
From today’s Politics Chat, watch now on YouTube.
Have you ever once seen the New York Times quote Trump like this?
North Carolina lawmakers have voted to remove all college campus voting sites. Specifically at the largest HBCU in the US NC A&T. They now have to walk 30 minutes to their nearest polling place. Students are protesting this - pls share and support.

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.
Cartoon. Person says to other person „We invented a robot that answers questions.“, adding, „we just have to feed it 10 baby giraffes a day“. The other person asks „But it answers the questions correctly?“ Person responds „Oh my goodness, no. No no no no no.“ By Aram J. French Appropriated due to missing alt text
Idk how this would even work but Duke Energy has to be stopped. That can look like breaking up their monopoly or more regulation, but they can’t just keep raising people’s rates to pay for their poor decision making, investments, and whatever the hell is going on with these data centers.
I love all the AI commercials telling viewers about shortcuts for life during the Olympics, a sporting event famously known for athletes who have put the hard work in for decades to get where they are.
Just perfect.
We found at least 18 of the drugs on TrumpRx have cheaper generics available ranging from potential savings of over $600 for Tikosyn to just around $2 for Diflucan. Most of the drugs are made by Pfizer.
So about TrumpRx: We crunched the numbers today and about half of the drugs on there have cheaper generics available already. www.statnews.com/2026/02/06/t...
Every American needs to watch this:
I have a new piece today on @theassemblync.bsky.social about a woman who is reuniting people with their lost objects from Helene.
It's not "feel good," but it will definitely make you feel something:

BERNIE SANDERS: Do vaccines cause autism?
BHATTACHARYA: I do not believe that the measles vaccine causes autism
SANDERS: Nah. Uh uh. I didn't ask measles. Do vaccines cause autism?
BHATTACHARYA: I have not seen a study that suggests any single vaccine causes autism
Lyrics, reading, "My eyes have seen the glory of the city that won’t fall, Seen it shelter in its bosom hunted children, big and small; I have seen the hunters pushed back and spat on in front of all, The city's standing strong. Glory, glory, hallelujah, Glory, glory, hallelujah, Glory, glory, hallelujah, The city's standing strong. George, roused from gentle slumber by his vine and his fig tree, Saw fresh tyrants threaten terror, ached to call out for a steed, Then he saw that Minneapolis held firm in thought and deed, And proudly he smiled on. Glory, glory, hallelujah, Glory, glory, hallelujah, Glory, glory, hallelujah, So proudly he smiled on. As Abe stood deep in grieving by the million Union men, Voiceless now to move the living to beat evil back again, The songs of Minnesota soothed his soul with their refrain— Friend Abe, they carry on. Glory, glory, hallelujah, Glory, glory, hallelujah, Glory, glory, hallelujah, Yes, Abe, they carry on."
Song lyrics, reading, "At the Hall of Heroes’ entrance Martin stood twice in two weeks There to welcome the new martyrs with tears running down his cheeks, And he told them “Lay your burdens at your brethren’s tireless feet, For, look, they carry on.” Glory, glory, hallelujah, Glory, glory, hallelujah, Glory, glory, hallelujah, Yes, still they carry on. In the whirlwind stand two women who well know their time is here: One is blind, the other bloodied, yet they know no pain nor fear; One holds sword and one holds flame—their blazing promise perseveres: For all they shall stand strong. Glory, glory, hallelujah, Glory, glory, hallelujah, Glory, glory, hallelujah, By them we shall stand strong."
A reader (who wished to remain anonymous for reasons of naturalization status) passed along to me their version of a Battle Hymn of Minneapolis, which I now share with you.
'Tis, as they say, a banger.
