RIP to Jesse Jackson. His funeral is today. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.
Most Americans disapprove of President Trump's handling of Iran, and a majority sees Iran as either only a minor threat or no threat at all, an NPR/PBS News/Marist poll finds. n.pr/47wG5Bh
NEW: The White House confirmed that Trump is pushing congressional lawmakers to make additions to the SAVE America Act specifically targeting transgender people — a move that appears to be weaponizing culture-war issues to pressure Republicans to back the suppressive bill.
DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.
He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.
The grift continues.

🚨The US is now at the top of the global watch list! “Countries don’t wake up authoritarian overnight. They get there when people assume someone else will stop it.” Take a listen!👇🏼

It’s day 64 of the ICE occupation of MSP.
Today ICE officers once again arrested observers at gunpoint, caused lockdowns of neighborhood schools, and harassed people on the street simply for their skin color.
Nothing has changed, despite the rhetoric from “leaders.”
Masked thugs on the streets.
Measles outbreaks across the nation.
Blatant government corruption.
Coverup of group of elite sex offenders.
Ruling party trying to rig elections.
Leader building grandiose monuments to himself.
Collapse of remnants of nonpartisan civil service.
Third world America.
What's been weird to learn is that other leaders of institutions act the same way. Some of them hoard and protect their influence like it's money because they, too, are rich. You don't get rich by giving your money away and (they seem to believe) you don't get powerful by exercising your power. But, in fact, that is often how power works: using power can help build power. At the very least, power holds no value unless it is exercised, which alone is a valid reason to exercise it. If you are powerful but never use your power, you are not powerful. I'm talking here primarily about the huge, obvious loci of power — the centers of power that exist in part to serve as checks on other centers of power. Congress vis-a-vis the presidency. The media relative to the government. Higher education in contrast to misinformation. But they often aren't serving as checks on what's unfolding, or are obviously and bizarrely using their power only sparingly, garden hoses aimed at protecting their own homes from the wildfire. So it's left to individuals, who have stepped up where institutions have not.
I wrote about Minnesota and ICE and how average Americans are reclaiming the power that the administration is abusing.

Peter Thiel has been open about this for a long time. Trump is a way to break the republic, which can then be replaced by “free economic zones” with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights. (1/2)
Retiring Walmart CEO Doug McMillon made $27M last year, over 930 times the median Walmart worker's salary of just $29,469.
Walmart's wages are so low that its workers are among the most likely to rely on SNAP and Medicaid to get by.
Hello?
Illinois is joining the World Health Organization's Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network.
I refuse to sit by as Donald Trump undermines science and weakens our nation's ability to detect and respond to global health threats.
Not only is it Black History Month. It’s also its 100th anniversary!!
To commemorate its centennial, I wrote a list of 10 Black films, one from each of the last 10 decades, to stream.
Since blackouts began in Kyiv a few weeks ago, 70-year-old Valentyna has been doing everything she can to stay warm while her home is without heat or electricity. That's why WCK teams have been serving meals to her and her neighbors-- through a cold winter, every hot meal matters. #ChefsForUkraine
NEW: Letitia James, the New York attorney general, announced that her office will deploy "legal observers" to document ICE activity in NY.
Her office says the effort is the first of its kind by an AG.

French Response * @FrenchResponse X.com Investigating child sexual abuse material isn't controversial. Turning it into political theater is manipulation. Maybe that logic flies on some island. Doesn't fl in France. Elon Musk & X @elonmusk • 3h This is a political attack
My apologies to France, I was not familiar with your game.
JUST IN: Judge limits tactics against anti-ICE protesters in Portland OR. Judge Michael Simon (Obama) sees chill on 1st Amendment activity & says DHS has a "culture...to celebrate violent responses." w/ @kyledcheney.bsky.social @natsfert.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2026/02...
That includes real accountability for abuses and clear guardrails to stop raids and intimidation. Anything less would be a failure to meet this moment. The public has done its part, and now Congress must do theirs.
Forget ‘give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses'
Donald Trump's maxim is 'give us your money, your oligarchs & your privileged few'
We're not having it
Proud to stand w/ @publiccitizen.bsky.social in the fight against Trump's illegal Gold Card scheme 👇-TN
All 83,000 acres of an Alabama National Forest.
I did not want to share this week’s USDA press release as there’s no comment or objection period, and I don’t want things to seem hopeless.
So I’ll note the comment and objection period is the midterms.
These are your lands.
These are the stakes.
Try the otter key, Steve...

The brutality we are witnessing in Minnesota is nothing short of state-sponsored terror.
It is a horrific illustration of what unfettered power does in the hands of leadership that celebrates and demands violence, especially from men.
SENATOR WARREN: “I am a hell no.”
Gathered outside the Detroit offices of U.S. Sens. Gary Peters and Elissa Slotkin, protesters weathered single-digit temps to demand that both Democratic senators stick to their stated promises to vote against a package that would continue to fund ICE at its current levels.

I’m sorry for your loss. I wish you peace.
FBI raiding Fulton County offices…
Mayhap to get their voter rolls?
The people of Minneapolis have shown us that radical love and community are more powerful than masked thugs and guns.
Stand in solidarity with Minneapolis on 1/31 by hitting the streets at an ICE Out of Everywhere protest near you. Link in bio.
TONIGHT at around 6:20 PM: I’ll be speaking on the Senate floor about why every American should care about what’s happening in Minneapolis, and what comes next.
