If you have reasonable political representation, call them and ask them to vote no. If you don't, maybe donate to the ACLU instead. #NoSaveAct

Beautiful.

My new ORCA Transit card. It has a really cute scene with Mount Tahoma(Rainier) in the background and a happy Orca riding a ferry. The colour's are orange and green pastels

LOOK AT MY NEW TRANSIT CARD!

Thank you @ferries.wsdot.wa.gov

Texas A&M University to end women’s studies due to new policy on race and gender topics | CNN Texas A&M University is ending its women’s and gender studies program, changing the syllabuses of hundreds of courses and canceling six classes as part of a new policy that limits how professors can d...

"Other university systems in Texas have also placed restrictions on classroom instruction or have begun internal reviews of course offerings following a new state law."

Hey @cnn.com and @apnews.com, did I miss the link or explanation of the "new state law?"

Frightening to see we are at the "arresting journalists for doing their job" stage of fascism.

Alex Pretti wasn't a terrorist. He was a VA nurse. YouTube video by Senator Elizabeth Warren

Donald Trump and Kristi Noem think you will believe them over your own eyes. No.

Alex Pretti wasn't a terrorist. He was a VA nurse.

When agents pushed a woman to the ground, he tried to help her up. His last words were “Are you okay?”

Enough.

Kristi Noem should resign.

ICE executed this man. Zero justification.

I hope Washington State is next to join @governorferguson.bsky.social

On MLK day I think about how many POC are walking around America, side eyeing fellow Americans, because 25% of those Americans would cheer seeing their families torn apart while they are deported. Citizen or not.

The Trump regime is explicitly white supremacist. MLK is rolling in his grave.

Has anyone heard anything from Republican senators about the crazy letter to Norway's prime minister?

The Trevor Project receives $45M from MacKenzie Scott after difficult years and federal funding cuts The nonprofit Trevor Project received a $45 million gift from billionaire MacKenzie Scott at the end of 2025.

So happy to see this generosity from MacKenzie Scott to fund something very important. #TrevorProject

"I'm not in Minnesota -- what can I do to help?"

A list of ideas!

Trump again threatens to take Greenland. Trump attacking Greenland ends NATO. That is EXACTLY what Putin wants. Lost in our recent conversations is how Trump is owned by Putin. All of this is in service of Putin.

Denmark renames Greenland Epstein Island so that Trump will never talk about it again.

FACT 👇

There’s a special kind of grief many of us are feeling tonight. Because it didn’t have to be like this.

Emily Heller, an eyewitness, is speaking out to set the record straight. Officers were screaming at Renee Nicole Good, “Move, move, move.”

So she moved, and they shot her multiple times? Then Noem and Trump branded her a domestic terrorist. Does everyone see how absolutely insane that sounds?

An ICE officer murdered a woman in cold blood who was clearly trying to drive away.

And yet Tricia McLaughlin and Stephen Miller are speciously trying to blame the victim.

ICE must be reined in and the officer must be held to account.

Civilized humanity wants to end Russian imperialism in Ukraine, not add American imperialism to it in Greenland.

We better stand up to the wannabe king now or Greenland will be next. @schumer.senate.gov you've been lied to 3x. Maybe stop trusting now? #Venezuela #Greenland

Among the many reasons you don’t kidnap a foreign head of state at gunpoint even if you have the capability, is that it sparks consequences you can neither control nor anticipate.

Some updates:

CNN: The Senate Armed Services Committee was not informed in advance of any potential US military action carried out tonight in Venezuela.

it's time to play America's favorite new game, 'what the fuck am I waking up to now'
