Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

The first numbers are in.

Over 1 million fewer people have signed up for insurance on the ACA than at this time last year. This is Trump's premium hikes at work.

In the wealthiest nation on earth, millions are being forced to go without health care.

It's a moral tragedy.

A USPS mailbox in New York City

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later

Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

Trump didn't send armed agents to the Chicago area to quell violence. He sent them there to cause violence.

Impressive. Cuz media are complicit.

I’ve seen just one counter-protester at No Kings San Diego. He’s got a Trump 2024 flag and this guy has been following him around for probably an hour playing Benny Hill and circus music.

Great- march anyway, be joyous, love your fellow citizen. Flip the script so we can all see how they choose to waste resources.

It’s magnificent

ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the 94 million pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the #Trump administration’s cuts to The Emergency Food Assistance Program.

One of my heroes - not just because of her work, but her joyous approach to life, science, being a woman in a male dominated field, and love for other beings.

reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle

Sound up!

“More systematically than in his first term, Trump’s administration is reaching into the federal immigration bureaucracy to roll back an array of protections for undocumented children,” Stephanie McCrummen writes:

that …and the greediest people who have no regard for others + deep unresolved issues that will never be filled control almost everything and have successfully constructed an alternate reality for 40% of this country in order to retain power.

Saw this too on a recent flight. An early 20 something. Social, game, social, text, social… over and over.

Daily coin toss

In Sudan, children's lives relied on USAID. Trump's cut have been deadly.

A physician at a Sudanese clinic said basic antibiotics probably would have cured a three-year-old boy’s chest infection. The medicines had been scheduled to be delivered in February.

Then the new U.S. administration froze foreign aid programs. wapo.st/4kgohOr

My first thought as well...how did this pass?

I was well into my 30s before I realized the Arby’s sign was a cowboy hat and not a giant hunk of roast beef.

There’s an annual swim race from the island to SF FFS
