They're not focused on the "worst of the worst."
Trump's ICE agents in Texas just detained a DACA recipient who was on his way to deliver milk to his newborn daughter in the NICU.
Republicans still want us to write a blank check for this cruelty. Not another dime!

And by “organized enough,” I mean, “I happened to be at Trader Joe’s the week before Purim (and I remembered that you might like these, so I bought one for you and then some for others, too).”
This was the first year when I was organized enough to buy fresh ones to give out for Purim. (I would feel bad giving out expired ones from my freezer, although I’m quite sure they’re fine.) I feel like the PB part of these is somehow better than Reese’s, too. Saltier, maybe? Not sure.
It wasn't "cancel culture" when women and people of color got used up, silenced, and dismissed before their careers even began. It only became "cancel culture" when powerful abusers started having established careers momentarily inconvenienced by revelations of what they'd done.
You’re very welcome! I always leave some in my freezer for peanut butter cup emergencies. The dark chocolate is key! (I once even brought some to my sister’s house and popped them into her freezer.)
You can be Covid-conscious (I am) but you shouldn't spread misinformation that vaccines don't prevent transmission. They do; they reduce transmission and severity, both of which appear to lower the risks of long Covid.
Here's why the messaging on Covid vaccines is still abysmal:
The message from MaskTogetherAmerica invites you to sign a petition to NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani asking NYC to recognize Long COVID Awareness Day by lighting up the City Hall in teal on Mar 15 every year. The picture of NY City Hall was manipulated to show it lit up to honor the International Long COVID Awareness day. Mayor Mamdani, please make our wish come true! More info here: https://masktogetheramerica.org/blog/nyc-should-light-up-in-teal-for-international-long-covid-awareness-day-we-wrote-to-mayor-mamdani
Let's sign this petition to @mayor.nyc.gov asking NYC to join Los Angeles and other cities around the world in recognizing Long COVID as a historic struggle. We want New York City Hall to light up in teal on March 15 in observance of #LongCOVIDAwarenessDay. actionnetwork.org/petitions/pe...
While I appreciate the drive that athletes have to perform despite injuries and ill health, I always feel a bit strange about how we glorify continuing on when your body needs healing. I wonder how many permanent disabilities are the result of our insistence that pain is a weakness not a warning.
The aurora last night in Beaver, Alaska was just incredible. This is a real-time video (not sped up) of the crazy motion I saw. Also, look how BRIGHT it is, wow!
People can say they didn’t vote for this but people are liars
this disaster is terrible
and we may not survive it
our descendants may not survive it
but we are children of disaster
the ones that made us and the ones that nearly unmade us but did not
so we might

Dave Ruder, a man wearing a respirator and glasses, with shoulder-length hair, is surrounded by cartoon images of a red footed duck, James Worthy, a can of seltzer and a bee, and a sign that says “Don’t touch me.” There’s a music player with his album imposed on top of the other images. The text reads, “The Sick Times. Composing the “Long COVID album”: An interview with Dave Ruder. By Betsy Ladyzhets.”
"There’s a way that, I think, particularly for sick artists, for disabled artists, having that feeling of someone taking you seriously and not being alone in your illness and in your ailment is one of the best things that we can provide." - Dave Ruder, Composing the “Long COVID album”: An interview with Dave Ruder
"Like so many people who have had Long COVID, [I’ve had] this sort of slow realization... unsure if something is temporary or permanent… It took me a long time to feel comfortable saying that [I am disabled]."

Since Congress passed a law requiring Trump to release the Epstein Files, Trump has:
- Tried to start a war with NATO over Greenland
- Threatened to use the military to suppress free speech in Minnesota
- Illegally withheld 99% of the files and heavily redacted the ones that were released
This is why I’m pushing for a state escrow account that holds federal funds before sending them on to Washington. If Trump wants to steal our tax dollars that were legally appropriated by Congress, then we should just be paying ourselves.
Here's the full list, according to a DOJ press release dated August.
In effect, every blue state except for Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, and Massachusetts (all except HI had Republican statewide electeds at some point since 2018) will have their funding withheld:

this is wildly illegal and the courts will rule it such, but congressional democrats should be thinking long and hard about the terms under which they will agree to continue funding this government
There is a new autistic barbie out, but no one is talking about her mother, undiagnosed computer engineer barbie about to get the surprise of her life when she starts to argue with the evaluator that these are all normal childhood behaviours that she had when she was the same age.
There are a lot of good lists out there. This is from someone who I trust to know who is who on the ground and how to best get resources where they need to go.
I have young kids like this author in Minneapolis—I'm so gutted reading this
But despite being occupied by a massive force of DHS paramilitaries, civil society is alive and meeting the threat. We will owe our freedom to the people of MSP, thank you!

Uh, hey, guys? Why is the Trump administration wanting to compile a fucking REGISTRY of Jewish people?
"These requests would require Penn to create and turn over a centralized registry of Jewish students, faculty, and staff"

This is of course very bad.
And I feel like not enough of you know that having a disability has been grounds for denying visa processing since the late 19th century due to supposed risk of needing public assistance.
Three of the Ogala Lakota men who were taken by ICE are being held at a former concentration camp.
ICE has no jurisdiction over Native Americans.
They’re not breaking any laws. There’s nowhere to deport them to. They were here first.
They’ve been kidnapped.
the left has offered solutions:
-raising wages
-universal healthcare
-affordable housing
-universal childcare
-paid parental leave
-action to mitigate the climate crisis
if only our leaders supported these wildly popular solutions. people don’t want kids in a world we’re struggling to survive in.
It boggles my mind that in 2026 people are still getting hospital acquired Covid.
They’re still having to choose between care and Covid.
They’re still having to risk their health to access medical care.
We can do better than this.
Clean air and respirators save lives!
It continues to astound the response to SARS2 is a collective shrug, as if no one’s aware previously there was a deadly SARS1. (It was contained at least in part because we had a functioning CDC then.) On top of that, the loss of smell & taste = NEUROLOGICAL DAMAGE—not a simple “stuffy nose.” #COVID
“But what do you expect Democrats to doo-hooo?”
1) Refuse to fund this criminal government anymore.
2) EVERY one of them call to abolish ICE (and bonus, DHS). No more “they need training” shit. Promise prosecutions.
3) EVERY one of them call for Trump’s impeachment, relentlessly, EVERY day.
🚨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.

Abolish ice is about to become a centrist position
