Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week.
Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool.
But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.
Here's a thread featuring clips of key moments from the DC Metropolitan Police body camera footage of the March 17, 2025 DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace that I obtained as a result of my FOIA lawsuit:

Those who believe they've been harmed by the use of Al may file a complaint at www.ct.gov/agcomplaint.
we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Martinez ends her testimony with this:
"If there's not justice for the people, let there be no peace for the government."
Your bravery and commitment have long been inspiring, Rep. Omar, thank you for the continued example. Best wishes from CT.
Daily ICE report from yesterday: On 1/21/26 Bovino was, once again, a little bitch.
The data shown in this video is collected by unpaid volunteers patrolling our communities to document ICE activity, because the truth isn’t always visible.
Not every abduction goes viral.
crazy that the website that I randomly decided to put together at 10AM yesterday has had over 25k unique visitors in 24 hours.
please keep sharing with your networks.
A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.
“When’s the next nationwide protest?” You might be asking yourself.
Here’s a big one that’s happening in less than a month!
Jan 20th. Free America Walkout. Women’s March, 50501, & More. Be There.

Have a great day, my friends!

The seeds are being planted to rig the midterms. It’s becoming more explicit.
(Also note the gratuitous shot at the NBA, aka Black athletes who oppose him)
Democracy all day, every day. #NoKings
I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort
NEW: The FBI has agreed to cooperate with Texas state law enforcement to locate the 50 Democratic legislators who left the state, Sen. John Cornyn said
RFK Jr. just fired thousands of federal workers at crucial health agencies, including the FDA, CDC, and NIH.
These are the people who inspect our food, track infectious diseases, and research life-saving treatments and cures.
How is this "Making America Healthy Again"?
I like telling authoritarians where to shove it in multiple languages
