The end of DOE’s grid work in Puerto Rico The Trump administration has canceled all eight of the remaining awards devoted to distributed energy on the island.

Let's pick this up again concerning PR's electrical grid. Just a few days ago:

The contrast of having AI shoved down our throats in all those commercials and the absolute triumph of humanity and creativity in that halftime show…

#BadBunny made us Puerto Ricans proud. Great messages and highlighting our culture. I espec. like when he reminded Puerto Ricans/all Latinos/a/x to love themselves. I'm sure he was encouraging them to keep their heads up despite awful treatment from ICE/U.S. government towards Hispanic-Latinos.

Bad Bunny didn’t just ask for a seat at the table.

He flipped it over and brought in a bigger one.

A new America is emerging with a more expansive view of patriotism, love of country and Americanness.

It’s coming! It’s here! Whether you like it or not.

‘We want to take over’: All the (recent) times Trump has talked about controlling elections Trump's allies are starting to translate his anti-democratic statements into actions.

President Donald Trump isn’t exactly known for his restraint. But recently the mask has fully slipped off. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/tru...

Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

Let’s walk back to where we started. What motivates Trump? The answer is simple: racism. You might also say ego and raw self-interest, but the two are connected. Racism, among other things, is a kind of chauvinism, a belief in one’s inherent superiority, based on nothing other than a meaningless accident of birth. It’s an ideology that papers over feelings of inadequacy, that tells you that — no matter what you have or have not accomplished in your life — you’re still better than someone, some group. Let’s suppose you’re the spoiled son of a self-made man. Let’s suppose that, despite your flash and bravado, you’ve failed at virtually everything you’ve tried. You’re the laughingstock of polite society, a punchline for the privileged. You think you’re superior enough to be the president of the United States — the highest honor in your country — but the actual president is a man of humble origins, a minority of the kind your family didn’t even rent to when you were in the landlord business. And he is claiming power that rightfully belongs to you. He’s even mocking you, ridiculing you for all the world to see. For years, a cottage industry of political observers has contorted itself to obscure and occlude the obvious. That regardless of what others see in him, Trump’s entire political career — from his embrace of birtherism to his hatred of birthright citizenship — cannot be understood outside the context of his bitter, deep-seated racism.

Please take the time to read this superb @jamellebouie.net column. It establishes a baseline of truth for anyone who wants to think, talk, and write honestly about Trump. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/07/o...

Perfect ad. Would have loved ending with “Together, we can tell Trump to puck off.” But this is 10/10.

The Washington Post Is No Longer Useful to Jeff Bezos In a kleptocracy, there is no reason for a billionaire to own an adversarial news outlet.

There is zero reason for a billionaire to own an adversarial news outlet in a kleptocracy. And so billionaires are gutting the media companies they own, reorienting them to better align with the regime, and spending money on bribes rather than journalists

New Mexico Senate approves bill to ban ICE detention centers The New Mexico Legislature approved the Immigration Safety Act. House bill 9 bars the state from allowing ICE detention centers.

This is another effort that has taken a HUGE amount of local activism, led by community folks who care.

It CAN be done. Get involved where you live and push back.

Warning Signs of Election Interference The Fulton County raid and other recent developments show how Trump and his allies are moving to discredit losses and control future elections.

Trump’s ambitions extend far beyond relitigating his 2020 loss. The Fulton raid should set alarm bells ringing about Trump’s willingness to abuse the power of his office to undermine free and fair elections in 2026 and 2028.

New from Samantha Tarazi:

What training manual in what agency instructs ICE agents that it's permissible to chase down a protestor and point a loaded gun at the top of their head while screaming at them?

We have to understand that ICE is being instructed by Trump to ignore law and convention and terrorize not police.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Donald Trump said today that "Republicans should say, we want to take over. We should take over the voting."

My life's work is to prevent that from happening. I built a law firm to stop it. I started Democracy Docket as another tool in the fight for democracy. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Despite the violence, cruelty, and lawlessness - despite the shredding of democratic values and norms - white evangelicals STILL approve of Trump.

They are the curse of this nation.

2/ Here's the video where Austin decries what Trump and ICE are doing and reminds vets and servicemembers that they swore an oath to the Constitution, not one man bsky.app/profile/moth...

1/ Ian Austin has since been re-arrested along with Don Lemon, which he believes is bc the video we made of him (below) criticizing the Trump regime and encouraging fellow vets to wake up had gotten millions of views.

It's not just journalists. It's ANYONE. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

From the moment he was sworn in a year ago, this President/administration have been at war with the First Amendment. In fact, this is the most anti-First Amendment President/administration in American history. There’s not even a close second.

For months, DOJ has been sandbagging the Epstein release claiming they were redacting sensitive information and using it as an excuse to delay other document productions, but they just released the files with apparently "thousands" of instances of victim's names and identifying details unredacted.

Civil Rights Crimes?!?

We are in the upside down.

To my fellow Democrats, call him a fascist. He IS a fascist. Don’t be afraid to say that. He’s using our Justice Department to go after his political enemies. He’s detaining & disappearing people without due process. And now he’s arresting journalists. He’s a fascist. Call him that. Don’t be afraid.

"We are supposed to have our constitutional right of the freedom to film, to be a member of the press. I don’t feel like I have my First Amendment right as a member of the press," Georgia Fort said.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

Just visited with Liam and his father at Dilley detention center. I demanded his release and told him how much his family, his school, and our country loves him and is praying for him.

Schumer comes out for Miller’s removal.

This five year old is still in jail

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

A First Step Toward Restoring a World Drowning in Greed, Power, and Violence I completed the following Sermon for St. John’s Episcopal Church in Murray, KY on the Friday before Federal ICE agents publicly executed Alex Jeffrey Pretti while they had him pinned to the g…

Here is the text version of my sermon for this Sunday. It also has a link to the recording on the diocese website at the bottom.

It’s CONGRESS that can stop ICE and CBP deployment to MN. The Dems (and any responsible Rs?) should introduce legislation and agitate for a vote: “No federal funds may be used for further activities of ICE or CBP in the state of Minnesota, except for their prompt withdrawal.”

OMG listen to this and share it as widely as you can.
