Opinion | To the 60-plus Minnesota CEOs: Many thanks for your nothingburger PR statement As thousands of Minnesotans marched in protest of ICE in subzero temps, big business leaders drafted a milquetoast PR message of nothingness, Adam Overland writes.

Seriously. It's ridiculous to see companies (and many of our elected officials) stay so neutral while even people and companies from across the globe are fighting harder.
Fuck em all.

The Inspiring New Movie About a Neighborhood That Stood Up To an Immigration Raid—and Won The most timely movie at this year’s Sundance Film Festival is also a lot of fun.

Sundance’s filmmakers spoke to the urgency of the political moment. Their movies, mostly, did not. But there was one powerful exception.

Risk of maternal death during pregnancy greatly underestimated, study finds A new study comparing deaths of pregnant people and of those who have an abortion show that risk of death due to pregnancy is three times higher than previously estimated.

"Our new analysis shows that it is far more dangerous to be pregnant than to have an abortion, and this gap in mortality risk is even larger than previously recognized.” - lead study author Maria Steenland.
In fact, the mortality risk of pregnancy is 44 to 70 times higher than from abortion.

Dead kids didn’t matter. Endless school shootings didn’t matter. But a single liberal with a firearm? That broke the GOP.

Oh my God, now I am seeing red. Now I wish to taste your blood. Now is the time!!!!

As others have aptly pointed out, police forces have been murdering people for a long time, especially POC. This terrorism from ICE is only a continuation and newest version of what we have been seeing for a long time.

I need to add something about my dogs. The grief I’ve been going thru over the death of my mother has at times been a major problem for me. I thought my heart was really incapable of breaking. These boys are saving me. I realize that more each day.

Trump's view on the Second Amendment is clearly that people who agree with him have a Constitutional right to carry a gun.

Our understanding of the Universe is stronger because of Bill Nye’s remarkable leadership and advocacy.
