Just told a heartbreaking story of a foster parent who took in a 16 year old girl whose parents got taken away. The ice agents gave her the choice of going with her parents or going into foster care. Her parents begged her to stay for her safety. And they said goodbye to her.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Andrea Chalupa talks about how Ukrainians find their strength through joy and creativity, things like poetry. I tried my hand at creating something to speak to this moment. She was right. Creating this gave me joy and a sense of power in this moment. #resist #ukraine #fightfascism “Our Land”

NEW: Two planes were involved in a fatal crash this morning at Marana Regional Airport in Arizona At least one person is confirmed dead in what the Marana Police Department is describing as an "aircraft collision." More details to come.

Goodbye, Airbnb.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

Thank you @petebuttigieg.bsky.social

MoonPay Exodus removed 1300 from my checking account on Friday. Going to the bank this morning to hopefully fix it.

DHS refusing to release names of ppl taken to Guantanamo Bay is rly all you needed to know about the legality of what they're doing. The balaclavas to hide the agents' identities are pretty telling too.😭

I miss hope.

We could have had a human president right now. We could have been led by someone who went to battle for the most vulnerable and marginalized among us—and not with them. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/we-could-h...

1/29: First plane crash in 16 years in DC 1/31: Crash in Philly 2/5: Delta flight struck in Seattle 2/6: Flight wrecks in Alaska 2/10: Crash in Scottsdale 2/12: Military jet crashes in San Diego 2/16: Crash in Covington, GA 7 crashes since the WH congratulated itself for “restoring aviation safety”

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/america-ch...

Actor Issa Rae canceled her sold out event at the Kennedy Center after the orange felon placed himself as chairman to diminish, insult, trash the arts and calling it an infringement on the values of an institution that faithfully celebrated artists. This is how you do it. 💙👊👏

Do you know what Dems did today? It may not be everything we want them to, but Dems are fighting for us. They get very little media attention but Dems do indeed fight for us. Meanwhile, Republicans are the party of fascism/tyranny. Pay attention to what Dems are doing so you can tell your friends.

Unbelievable the number of things happening under this administration

The government is sending undocumented people to Guantanamo for being in the US without legal status. Let's not pretend to be ignorant of the reality that those being sent there will likely never be permitted to leave. It's a FKN CONCENTRATION CAMP.

Twenty-three days, six plane crashes. 😳

🤦🏼‍♀️

Hey, here’s some of what @thedemocraticparty.bsky.social did today 👋🏽

Let’s get this going !!
