This thread is the we are going to win thread, is the kids are alright thread, is the STOP ICE thread, is the civil society rising thread; read it through.

Let me tell you a tale of how completely the normies have been mobilized. My 14 year-old niece has done School of Rock for the past 5 years; last summer she was part of their touring band, and the kids loved playing together so much that they decided to keep doing it. (1/?)

It's also part of a very direct negation of the latest stupid tweet by Musk: people have given so much, two of them their lives, to defend a multicultural city and the rights of people not exactly like them. And that multiculturalism is American culture.

Yeah, this is pretty much exactly what I thought about when I saw Musk's stupid racist tweet: Minnesotans have spent the last month and a half saying we will die to defend our multicultural community.

Defending the Genocide in Gaza is the logical endpoint of Brianna Wu’s politics.

She weaponizes her own past suffering in an effort to use the exact same tactics against her targets. It was inevitable that she’d end up sympathizing with the crybullies committing crimes against humanity.

Landmark settlement could create new protections for harm reduction under disability law  A Christian group announces a potentially landmark legal settlement that the ACLU says could establish new federal protections for harm reduction services.

Harm reduction services, including syringe service and fentanyl testing programs, are proven to save lives.

As a federal court recognized, people with substance use disorder have a right to these services under disability law.

Real talk: a weird number of trans women who've stayed fully on Twitter have drifted to the center and I don't fully understand why aside from the fact that their brains are being boiled in right-wing propaganda day in and day out. Actually, yeah, that's probably it.

Welp, I guess I'm rewatching @domaindead.bsky.social's video essay about this insufferable pickme again...

The problem with this thinking is the Palestinians are not oppressed. They are a fantastically dangerous death cult that will literally sacrifice their own children to hurt Jews. A rabid dog is not oppressed when you don't invite it into your house

Interesting

HAL JORDAN: In brightest day, in blackest

BEASTIE BOYS: NIGHT!

BEASTIE BOYS: SIGHT!

HAL JORDAN: This is awkward because when I invited you I thought I was messaging Beast Boy from the Teen Titans.

SPORTS Misgendering Incident Involving A Trans Olympian Triggers Heated Debate After NBC Deletes Footage Seema Sinha News Writer 20 5 ADVERTISEMENT hulu hulu Disneyt hulu The best stories, together X Share NBC has deleted the feed of the 2026 women's moguls freestyle skiing qualifiers, which took place on Tuesday, February 10, after commentators repeatedly misgendered an athlete during the live st Posts by Seema Sinha Swedish skier Elis Lundholm, who was born female but identifies as male, was referred to as "she" by one commentator, PREDATOR BADLANDS Now Streaming PARADISE Streaming February 23 while another used "they" instead of "he."

It was never about "trans athletes should just compete in their assigned sex at birth."

It was always about invalidation of the athlete's gender identity.

Not great.

Mile Morales dropping in to give Gwen Stacy (Spider-Gwen? Ghost-Spider?) a nice bouquet of roses the day after Valentine's. No worries, Spider-Man! It's the thought that counts.

Better late than never, Miles. 🕸️❤️

Saw the term “malignant pacifism” for the first time, and oh my god is that a great descriptor for the Democratic Party.

Today has been a bad day for progressives in Iowa.

100% this. Dems touting how we do deportation ‘the right way,’ is a losing argument every time. You’ll never win Republicans because they always want more deportation, particularly more violent, punitive deportation. And lauding deportation angers a huge part of your base every time. It’s lose/lose.

My friends say I'm the most politically informed person they know, and infer that because of that I muuuuuust like politics and GOD NO. NO. FUCK. How can you not be informed? This shit just finds me! I would be so much happier if I could do LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE.

How come a sitting president can sue an individual, but an individual cannot sue a sitting president?

the reason american fascists are so obsessed with patriotism is that america has always been a fascist shithole

liberals say “this is un-american!!!” as if they’ve never learned anything about our history

I'm in a very weird position right now, because things like this are why I don't believe states should have National Guards, but Minnesota showed how they should be used to check federal power.

Massachusetts has spent months delaying & denying @boltsmag.org’s public records requests on how many people it has transferred ICE during Trump as part of its formal contract with ICE.

A supervisor of records ruled last week that the state’s denials are improper; we hope to get records soon.

Support @boltsmag.org if you can.

Either by READING and boosting their invaluable journalism.
Or
If you can afford it $$, reporting like Bolts saves democracies.

(I'm serious about this, Bolts gives voice to people who desperately need to be heard. And we desperately need to listen.)

Common sense tells us, and a reading of the last thirty freaking years of Senate history confirms, that Republicans will never "go along" with anything Democrats care about.

Even this idiot doesn't believe the nonsense he's spewing. He's useless and should resign his leadership.

Mural of Iryna Zarutska near the corner of Western and Montrose in Chicago

Out driving just now and saw this giant mural of Iryna Zarutska, the Ukrainian refugee who got stabbed on a bus.

Despite the fact that her family has asked them not to use her death for political reasons, Elon Musk has been funding these murals all over the country.

Deadly buoys, razor wires, armed guards: Greg Abbott is fixated on keeping migrants out The Texas governor has turned the Rio Grande riverbank into a battlefield, and lives as well as the environment are at grave risk

It was in 2023 btw, and it violates international law. Biden should've sent the Navy and or the Coast Guard up the river and cleared them out. Then had Abbott arrested & turned over to the U.N.

Thinking about the time Greg Abbott put buoys in the Rio Grand explicitly to drown people and just got the record there is no "Texas border." Nor "New Mexico border" nor "Arizona border" nor "California border." There is only one border, the United States' & it is governed by the federal government.

Wow, so they're *SUPER* worried about November...

Russian state media are scrubbing reports on "capturing southern Myrnograd" despite the Defense Ministry declaring the whole city taken in December. War bloggers increasingly slam commanders for claiming towns too early, pointing to what happened in Kupiansk.

Emails Show Epstein Scheming That Environmental Destruction Could Solve "Overpopulation" Recently spotted emails from 2016 show Jeffrey Epstein suggesting that climate change could be the answer to "overpopulation."

Turns out that billionaires are actually pro-climate change because their goal is to have "mass executions of the elderly and infirm."
