Trump administration bars non-citizens from small-business loans The rule change goes into effect on March 1.

The Trump administration has effectively blocked all non-citizens from the federal government's small business loans, which could spell further trouble for the economy.

Donate to Washington Post 2026 layoff fund, organized by Rachel Siegel On Wednesday, Feb. 4, 2026, The Washington Post laid off hundreds of journalists. We ar… Rachel Siegel needs your support for Washington Post 2026 layoff fund

If you are able, The Post's union has started a layoff fund for those fired by the world's fourth-richest man today. gofund.me/a310d0286

This is a very important point. Also, it’s hard to overstate how much this has brought people together around here. Minnesota has always had a strong sense of community but people are incredibly unified now, way more than before.

This is the pattern. Purchase/Take Over a media source that has informed the public. Then dismantle them to the lowest form:
1. Twitter
2. Meta
3. Washington Post
4. CBS-60 Minutes/News
5. Public Broadcasting
6. Tik Tok

We are up to our necks in state run media.

I think you should take this entirely seriously while also trying to figure out how this would work. Would it actually depress turnout? Maybe they send them to swing districts - what even IS a swing district in what looks like a D +9 environment? bsky.app/profile/marc...

Crimes against humanity.

How To Tell You’re Being Manipulated By A Story Three rules of thumb for navigating manipulative waters.

After ICE killed Renée Good and Alex Pretti, the Trump administration tried to tell us we didn’t see what we saw with our own eyes. Shane Snow’s essay breaks down how governments manipulate media to rewrite reality—and how to spot it before it can take root.

Update: In the past week we've learned ICE has secured property to build human warehouses in Merrimack, NH and Williamsport, MD *as well as* Surprise, AZ; Upper Bern, PA; and Tremont, PA.

Facts that bear repeating.

Bookshop.org Teams with Draft2Digital The online bookselling platform has partnered with the self-publishing company to allow self-published authors to sell e-books on its site.

For so long Amazon has had a monopoly on selling self-published books. Good to see that @bookshop.org is ready to compete in the space! www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

The conclusion we’ve all been waiting for!

One last epic moment with the crew of the Voyager awaits… Captain Janeway & her crew are prisoners of Species 8472. The Voyager is similarly snared in its clutches.

This is what the systems of power, influence and money in creative spheres do: They are structures that place supposed Great Artists or powerful rainmakers beyond the realm of accountability, humility, responsibility and consequences. Great Artists and power players (even the mediocre ones) who misuse their positions don’t do it alone: They receive help, silent endorsement, enabling and all kinds of ass-covering courtesy of those who want to attach themselves to the coattails of the Great Artist or the Big-Time Rainmaker.

2026 Trans Girl Scouts To Order Cookies From! This year, consider ordering your Girl Scout cookies from a trans girl scout to make their day!

Hey everyone!

Huge news! Our trans girl scout list has sold a total of 146,000 boxes as of today!

But MANY trans girl scouts only have 20, 30, 40 boxes sold.

I just resorted our list to put those on the top.

Go get your girl scout cookies and make a trans kid's day!

‘ICE conveyor belt’ illegally detaining, moving Minnesota children to Texas faster than courts can respond ICE is pulling Minnesota immigrant families with legal status out of their driveways, homes and school commutes and send

ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families.

Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota.

The cruelty is endless.

ICE Begins Buying ‘Mega’ Warehouse Detention Centers Across US Plans for such centers and jails in nearly two dozen communities have sparked protests over suitability, proximity to homes and schools.

BIG news from @bloomberg.com, which confirms that ICE has gone ahead and *purchased* multiple commercial warehouses with the aim of converting them into mass detention camps.

This is likely to be the big detention story of 2026 — literal warehousing of people.
