1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I think it should probably be a bigger story that the president of the United States is a raving lunatic

Important info from @cato.org about how immigrants contribute to our country:

"The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023."

Facts matter.

NEW FOOTAGE: Protesters take over a Minneapolis Target Saturday to protest the retailer’s cooperation with ICE. This is a movement! Share so everyone is aware!

ICE Begins Buying ‘Mega’ Warehouse Detention Centers Across US Plans for such centers and jails in nearly two dozen communities have sparked protests over suitability, proximity to homes and schools.

BIG news from @bloomberg.com, which confirms that ICE has gone ahead and *purchased* multiple commercial warehouses with the aim of converting them into mass detention camps.

This is likely to be the big detention story of 2026 — literal warehousing of people.

Do pediatricians make large profits from vaccines? Vaccine critics like to say that pediatricians profit from vaccines. This report found something very different.

People who oppose #vaccines often claim that doctors push them because they're paid to by Pharma or that vaccine administration is a big revenue source for doctors. The reality: Delivering vaccine puts an economic strain on many pediatric practices. www.statnews.com/2026/01/29/p...

Republicans' Big Ugly Bill gave Trump $190 billion for DHS, including $75 billion for ICE and $65 billion for CBP.

That's money Republicans stripped from rural hospitals and helping people afford health care.

Congress should claw it back and put serious restraints on DHS.

One thing that shows you how bad ICE’s tactics are — ACTUAL cops are among the most vocal and biting in criticizing them.

Republican Governor of Vermont

Quite a statement by the Republican governor of Vermont

The National Basketball Players Association releases a statement following the Trump regime’s murders of Alex Pretti and Renee Good, saying that NBA players “can no longer remain silent.”

The NBPA is standing up for free speech, civil liberties, and the people of Minnesota demanding justice.

Bill Cassidy reportedly voted for RFK Jr because Cassidy was afraid of losing his next primary and feared Trump endorsed his further-right opponent.

Trump just endorsed Cassidy’s opponent anyway!

Appeasement does not work.
Fight or get out of the way.

A piece of broccoli and a corn tortilla?!

Rep. Lieu: “Greg Bovino last night made a post that essentially called protesters, ‘cannon fodder.’ He needs to delete that post, or he needs to resign…If Greg Bovino and the administration doesn't turn down the rhetoric, it's going to cause more people to get killed.”

Worth noting that the only people being violent and rioting are CBP and ICE.

ICE Set to Vastly Expand Its Reach With New Funds

A reminder that the largest cuts in Medicaid’s history enacted last year paid to triple ICE’s budget.

Medicaid/CHIP covers nearly half of children in the U.S. and is the largest payor of long term care.

Evidence shows benefit of RSV vaccines as Trump officials push restrictions Shots to prevent respiratory syncytial virus recommended only for high-risk babies even as experts hail jabs’ success

“There’s no defined ‘high risk’,” said @kevinault.bsky.social. More than 80% of babies hospitalized with RSV are otherwise healthy - which means “all babies in the first few months of life are at high risk for RSV.”

👇Ice Officers are are murder for hire group!

That and ICE murdering a mom, all pretty on par for this fascist regime

Trump bragging about his $400 million ballroom and getting up to admire the construction site as he meets with oil company executives looking to plunder Venezuela with money from US taxpayers basically sums up this entire admin perfectly.

@megtirrell.bsky.social

Just saw your report on CNN. Please don’t be afraid to say the SC outbreak started in a private school w/ 17% vax coverage, and it is that low largely bc of religious and exemptions. It’s a problem that needs to be acknowledged.
