This is especially true when it comes to the art Black people create in digital spaces. #BlackHistoryMonth
I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.
What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?
I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.
notable that actual Jewish seniors get this in a way that the ersatz holocaust museum does not

STATEMENT REGARDING DETENTION OF STANDING ROCK SIOUX TRIBE MEMBER IN MINNESOTA JANUARY 24, 2026 I was notified today, January 24, 2026, that a Standing Rock Sioux Tribe member has been detained by the U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the state of Minnesota. Tribal leadership is actively working to locate the individual, gather accurate information, and coordinate with the appropriate authorities to secure their release. At this time, details surrounding the detention remain limited. I urge the public to refrain from spreading unverified information while this matter is being reviewed. Standing Rock Sioux Tribe will continue to advocate for the protection of our citizen's rights and will provide updates as appropriate.
ICE has kidnapped another Indigenous person in Minneapolis. This is the fifth member of the Očhéthi Šakówinnto be taken this month.
Statement from Standing Rock:
Black-and-white photograph of Wilma Rudolph crossing the finish line to win the women’s 4×100 m relay gold for the United States at the 1960 Rome Olympics on September 8, 1960. The 20-year-old Tennessee State Tigerbelle leans forward in full stride, baton raised triumphantly, as she becomes the first American woman to win three track-and-field gold medals in a single Games. The packed Stadio Olimpico blurs behind her in this iconic moment of speed and history.
Smiling portrait of Wilma Rudolph proudly holding up 2 of her 3 gold medals with the 3rd medal worn like a necklace. All 3 from the 1960 Rome Olympics—won in the 100 m, 200 m, and 4×100 m relay.
#OTD in 1961, AP names Wilma Rudolph Female Athlete of the Year for the 2nd consecutive year
Rudolph overcame childhood polio to become the fastest woman runner in the world; first American woman to win 3 track/field gold medals in a single Olympiad, Rome 1960.

Alternative girl looking over her shoulder at the viewer with disgust. She is reading a zine. She wears a leather jacket with a broken chain patch on the sleeve, and the words WORMS on the back with a large earthworm patch. She has bleached hair with black roots and an eyebrow ring and a nose piercing. The text above her reads, “Ew, you don’t read zines??” The zine has the writing: “Why farts are the call of the worker” with a farting cartoon butt.
SERIOUSLY?
Of all the things he could be doing…he decides to ensure a bunch of dead soldiers get medals for killing Native Americans.
Please stop telling minorities this current administration and everyone in it isn’t a racist bigot. That ship sailed a long time ago.

Fun fact: I asked a ouija board if anyone was there. It moved to yes. I then proceeded to tell the spirit that I was a witch, only to have the planchette move to ‘goodbye.’ :c they hung up on me.
Is this why northstar, the Canadian homo in question, only has one canonical love interest?

my hot take for the #legionofsuperheroes of the day is that there are 2 types of ppl who call reboot legion the ‘Archie’ legion
1. Ppl who never read the reboot legion and/or Archie
2. Ppl who read James Cullen on-panel murder and decided it wasn’t that serious for some reason?

#MonEl fighting alone and winning was so inspirational to me back in the day. He always seemed like a hero trapped in #Superboy's shadow, but this tale changed that in my mind. #LegionOfSuperHeroes
#SaturnGirl defeats #Universo in the #LegionOfSuperHeroes epic, The Universo Project in the Baxter Edition of the LoSH. She knocked that monocle right off his face!!! What makes this scene more amazing is that she dropped #UltraBoy and #MonEl just moments before with a thought!
