"I want people to be safe and protected. I want to live on the right side of history. I am an immigrant. My parents are refugees from Chile. We fled a dictatorship and I was privileged enough to grow up in the United States after asylum in Denmark. I stand by those protections, always."

We are in such a weird place where caring about other people is political.

Contacted a bank to cancel a credit card today and when they were asking me why to try to get me to change my mind I realized I could just tell them it was a secret 🙃

Aaaand there it is.

WATCH: “There were ICE raids at the bars in downtown Nashville.” Singer @montemader.bsky.social says ICE agents were raiding bars on Broadway unlawfully — going after cooks, NOT criminals — and offers a plausible theory for why they wear masks. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DJgZk_W...

Women can use a wand to collect a vaginal sample, then mail it to a lab that will screen for cervical cancer. The device will be available by prescription through a telehealth service. By @jenniferludden.bsky.social

I just really need everybody to understand that everything that’s happening in and to the global economy now (and all the businesses and people in it) is the entirely predictable result of the intentional decisions of one guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works.

I  know your goal is to try to make life as hard as possible for immigrants.

THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS. Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!” Don’t dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.

Made it to the Amy Sherald exhibit at the Whitney Museum today. I'm awestruck.

We also must reckon with the fact that the vast majority of these people identify as Christian.

I don't understand how the Times can never determine whether Trump is lying but can say with certainty when he is joking.

It really tells you everything you need to know about the Democratic Party that they can't go after Trump for the most blatant corruption scandal in the history of the presidency because some of them are in bed with the same corruption coin guys.

Alpha male podcasts have broken Gen Z in the same way people used to claim Facebook broke Boomers.

When Trump says the economic pain will be over quickly, seems important to keep in mind he said the same thing about the pandemic - and 10 years later we’re still waiting for his health care plan.

They're dismantling (what remains of) the social safety net and replacing it with a dragnet instead.

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

Dear god let this man cook.

lol SO I MET TIM WALZ. And it was the MOST wholesome thing ever: *shows Tim the decree he signed for me in 2023* "OMG I REMEMBER YOU. What are you doing here?" "I'm a PhD student at Harvard!" "THAT'S AMAZING." *fist bumps*

Pritzker: Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research…

Warnock: I hear people attack poor people and act like it’s a crime to be poor, rather than to recognize it’s criminal for so many people to be poor. They do all of this in the name of Jesus… Jesus is the biggest victim of identity theft in the United States

@davidhogg.bsky.social keep it up, you are doing amazing work!!

A kid whose parents couldn't afford school fees is now an "icon" on Time magazine's 2025 list — recognizing her work as CEO of Camfed, a charity that gives millions of girls a chance for an education.

@baldwin.senate.gov Anything??

they took half the car away and want you to buy it back in accessories. let’s see if it works.

My ancestors crossed the Atlantic three centuries ago and I am an American in the exact same way as the infant child of undocumented immigrants born here yesterday. There is no difference between us, their right to this country no less than mine. We are entirely equal and I will accept nothing else.

You can’t “deport” US citizens. This is something far more sinister.

When we call for politicians to "do something," this is what we mean. Not speeches or op-eds or campaign rallies, but using every tool available to disrupt the advance of fascism.

Honored to be in the club with researchers whose work is deemed “not in alignment” w/ this administration’s “new priorities.” I know these grant losses hurt - esp to junior scholars and the staff employed them - and, I genuinely believe, we can be proud we were doing something they are scared of.

New leaders are emerging in the Democratic Party, including AOC, Booker, Crockett, and Frost. We must support them in taking the reins. The establishment and status quo is no longer acceptable.

Children. Our children. US citizens. Don’t say it’s ok to deny any person a lawyer and a chance to see a judge. Believe that violating the rights of anyone endangers everyone! www.aclu.org/press-releas...

Why isn’t Trump in prison then?

Once again Cherokee Nation and other Oklahoma tribes are having to step in and feed non-Native children because of Kevin Stitt's refusal to accept programs that would help Oklahoma's low-income children. 😡 www.newson6.com/story/680c12...

Fully on board with dems running for office promising to reinstate fired federal employees and jail this administration’s various criminals, but let’s go ahead and add “we will seize by eminent domain any national parkland sold to developers”

Give Black people more money to create things. Thank you. Signed, Management

RFK Jr blames diet, lifestyle & vaccines for chronic illness. Dr Oz says it’s a “patriotic duty” to lead a healthy life & be fit enough to serve in the military. Neither of them are pushing for Universal Healthcare, basic income, an end to food deserts & inequality, clean water etc. It’s eugenics

The FBI just arrested a sitting judge.

Really need journalists to push back on this bullshit. When they say this, just ask them point blank: "Are you saying that because one Latino man committed a murder, another Latino man deserves a life sentence? Do you think all Latino men interchangeable?"

1. Jose Hermosillo is US citizen who was wrongly jailed in an immigration detention facility for 10 days The administration says he "turned himself in" to the Border Patrol and told them he was a Mexican who crossed the border illegally. I interviewed Hermosillo. He says the government is lying.

Maybe we should honor the women who were real astronauts. From left to right are Shannon W. Lucid, Margaret Rhea Seddon, Kathryn D. Sullivan, Judith A. Resnik, Anna L. Fisher, and Sally K. Ride. NASA selected all six women as their first female astronaut candidates in January 1978.

The fact that I know more about Katy Perry and Lauren Sánchez’s 11-minute space trip than I do about Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito’s decades-long crime spree shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

Head Start, an early childhood education program for low income families, is on the chopping block. Growing up, my own mom was an aide with the program; it’s helped countless young mothers, including the one who tells her story here. www.kqed.org/news/1203596...
