I'm sorry, if you're going to make a big show about how you've got a Department of WAR helmed by a Secretary of WAR and staffed by WARfighters, it's totally inane to then claim that your massive bombing of a foreign country constitutes something other than a war.
St. Paul Public Schools parents group needs about $63k more to keep 174 families housed. March is soon, rent will be due. Can you chip in? Can you share?
North Carolina’s @katebarrcanwin.bsky.social gave us the perfect metaphor for what we are all doing in this perilous moment.
From today’s Politics Chat, watch now on YouTube.
Have you ever once seen the New York Times quote Trump like this?
North Carolina lawmakers have voted to remove all college campus voting sites. Specifically at the largest HBCU in the US NC A&T. They now have to walk 30 minutes to their nearest polling place. Students are protesting this - pls share and support.

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.
Cartoon. Person says to other person „We invented a robot that answers questions.“, adding, „we just have to feed it 10 baby giraffes a day“. The other person asks „But it answers the questions correctly?“ Person responds „Oh my goodness, no. No no no no no.“ By Aram J. French Appropriated due to missing alt text
Idk how this would even work but Duke Energy has to be stopped. That can look like breaking up their monopoly or more regulation, but they can’t just keep raising people’s rates to pay for their poor decision making, investments, and whatever the hell is going on with these data centers.
I love all the AI commercials telling viewers about shortcuts for life during the Olympics, a sporting event famously known for athletes who have put the hard work in for decades to get where they are.
Just perfect.
We found at least 18 of the drugs on TrumpRx have cheaper generics available ranging from potential savings of over $600 for Tikosyn to just around $2 for Diflucan. Most of the drugs are made by Pfizer.
So about TrumpRx: We crunched the numbers today and about half of the drugs on there have cheaper generics available already. www.statnews.com/2026/02/06/t...
Every American needs to watch this:
I have a new piece today on @theassemblync.bsky.social about a woman who is reuniting people with their lost objects from Helene.
It's not "feel good," but it will definitely make you feel something:

BERNIE SANDERS: Do vaccines cause autism?
BHATTACHARYA: I do not believe that the measles vaccine causes autism
SANDERS: Nah. Uh uh. I didn't ask measles. Do vaccines cause autism?
BHATTACHARYA: I have not seen a study that suggests any single vaccine causes autism
“I went around the corner to see if spring was there.”
“Did you find it?” asked Toad.
“No,” said Frog. “There was only an old worm asleep on a tree stump.”
Lyrics, reading, "My eyes have seen the glory of the city that won’t fall, Seen it shelter in its bosom hunted children, big and small; I have seen the hunters pushed back and spat on in front of all, The city's standing strong. Glory, glory, hallelujah, Glory, glory, hallelujah, Glory, glory, hallelujah, The city's standing strong. George, roused from gentle slumber by his vine and his fig tree, Saw fresh tyrants threaten terror, ached to call out for a steed, Then he saw that Minneapolis held firm in thought and deed, And proudly he smiled on. Glory, glory, hallelujah, Glory, glory, hallelujah, Glory, glory, hallelujah, So proudly he smiled on. As Abe stood deep in grieving by the million Union men, Voiceless now to move the living to beat evil back again, The songs of Minnesota soothed his soul with their refrain— Friend Abe, they carry on. Glory, glory, hallelujah, Glory, glory, hallelujah, Glory, glory, hallelujah, Yes, Abe, they carry on."
Song lyrics, reading, "At the Hall of Heroes’ entrance Martin stood twice in two weeks There to welcome the new martyrs with tears running down his cheeks, And he told them “Lay your burdens at your brethren’s tireless feet, For, look, they carry on.” Glory, glory, hallelujah, Glory, glory, hallelujah, Glory, glory, hallelujah, Yes, still they carry on. In the whirlwind stand two women who well know their time is here: One is blind, the other bloodied, yet they know no pain nor fear; One holds sword and one holds flame—their blazing promise perseveres: For all they shall stand strong. Glory, glory, hallelujah, Glory, glory, hallelujah, Glory, glory, hallelujah, By them we shall stand strong."
A reader (who wished to remain anonymous for reasons of naturalization status) passed along to me their version of a Battle Hymn of Minneapolis, which I now share with you.
'Tis, as they say, a banger.

NEW: In an alarming development, North Carolina’s GOP-led election board is considering a plan to label certain voters as “presumptive noncitizens,” potentially purging them from the rolls.
It's the latest move in an effort to politicize voter list maintenance and undermine election confidence.
This is the BEST explanation I have seen so far.

BREAKING: Trump doesn’t support the 2nd Amendment.

attn: everyone asking why athletes aren’t speaking out on Minneapolis, please meet two-time MVP, three-time world champion, three-time Olympic gold medalist Breanna Mackenzie Stewart.
An astonishing factoid from @vermontgmg.bsky.social, looking at data over the last decade: "the workforce of CBP officers and Border Patrol agents commit crimes at an equal or even greater rate PER CAPITA than the population of undocumented immigrants do in the United States."
it is -10 here today. I was supposed to go do a volunteer shift standing outside loading groceries into people’s cars to deliver to families stuck at home. just got a call not to come in because they have too many volunteers already. if you were wondering if the cold would stop us.
Congress can stop ICE. Congress can block the use of force in Greenland. In other words, in this crisis, Congress can act to support civil liberties at home and free nations abroad. To fail to act would be to be complicit in a dreadful outcome.
Jimmy Kimmel offers to let Trump have one of his trophies if he will pull ICE out of Minneapolis.
damn -- CNN put together a video of Kristi Noem claiming ICE officers are "highly trained and skilled" and "gifted" alongside to a clip of them beating someone nearly to death in Minneapolis
It was me! I love that song!
Five videos and five charts that distill ICE's position at the moment. www.pbump.net/o/where-ice-...
