Walz: An hour by hour day by day basis, the President has chosen, chosen to throw our economy into turmoil.

We are talking about a guy that slapped a 10% tariff on an island populated only by penguins. It would be funny as hell if it wasn't true and stupid.

Composite shows four Hubble images in quarters. At top left is a crisp view of Mars in shades of orange, blues, and browns. At top right is planetary nebula NGC 2899, which is shaped like a single macaroni noodle, with its central torus appearing semi-transparent and blue and green, and its top and bottom edges in orange. At bottom left is a tiny portion of the Rosette Nebula. Very dark gray material shaped like a triangle takes up the center. At bottom right is barred spiral galaxy NGC 5335 with a milky yellow center that forms a bar surrounded by multiple blue star-filled spiral arms that wrap up counterclockwise.

i love that we got 4 new hubble images today and we still continue to get more after 35 years 🥹

hubble really is the little telescope that could!!!

Bookmarked for the inevitable surrender.

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

Tricia McLaughlin & @TriciaOhio 0... The narrative being pushed about Jose Hermosillo is false. On April 8, Hermosillo approached Border Patrol in Tucson and stated he had entered the U.S. illegally through Nogales. He said he wanted to turn himself in and completed a sworn statement identifying as a Mexican citizen who had entered unlawfully. He was processed and appeared in court on April 11. Afterward, he was held by the U.S. Marshals in Florence, AZ. A few days later, his family presented documents showing U.S. citizenship. The charges were dismissed, and he was released to his family. This arrest was the direct result of Hermosillo's own actions and statements.

In an interview with Popular Information, his first with any media outlet, Hermosillo said DHS'. 's account was false. According to Hermosillo, he was visiting his girlfriend's family in Tucson from his home in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Several hours before his arrest, Hermosillo was transported to a hospital in Tucson by ambulance after suffering from a seizure. He has a New Mexico state ID, but did not take it with him during the medical emergency. After being released from the hospital following treatment, Hermosillo did not know how to return to where he was staying. He approached the Border Patrol officer because he was looking for someone to help him. "I saw a car, and I askled] him for help," Hermosillo said. He told the officer that he was staying in Tucson.

"You" re not from here. Do you have your papers?" the officer said, according to Hermosillo. When the officer asked where he was from, Hermosillo said he told the officer, "New Mexico." The officer then accused Hermosillo of lying. "Don't make me lout] like [I'm] stupid," the officer said. "I know you're from Mexico." After that, Hermosillo said, he was arrested. Hermosillo said that he never told the officer that he was born in Mexico, was a citizen of Mexico, or entered the country illegally. And he would not have said those things because they are not true. He signed the transcript released by DHS because the officer ordered him to "sign everything." But Hermosillo did not read it, because he cannot read. According to Hermosillo's girlfriend, Grace Hernandez, Hermosillo has learning disabilities and can only write his name. Hermosillo said he did not graduate from high school and dropped out after the 10th grade.

The officer also signed the document, which said Hermosillo "read" the document or had it read to him. But Hermosillo said no one read him the document. Other documents created by the officer have inaccuracies. For example, the criminal complaint says that Hermosillo was detained "at or near Nogales, Arizona." But Hermosillo was detained in Tuscon, which is more than 70 miles from Nogales. John Mennell, a spokesperson for the U.S. Border Patrol, said that it was an "unintentional" error. Hermosillo said he was detained with about 15 other men in a cell at the Florence Correctional Center. He was served only cold food. He said he contracted the flu because "they have it cold in there and everybody's getting sick." Hermosillo said he requested medicine but was not provided with any.

A US citizen with a learning disability who has just suffered a medical emergency asks a CBP officer for directions outside the emergency room. He ends up detained in an icebox for ten days and has the assistant secretary of DHS lying about him to the public at large. popular.info/p/us-citizen...

This is a good one!🤣😂

Today's vocabulary lesson

Good job Harvard. I love seeing this

Monochrome photograph featuring a sitting Black woman in a long dress and white shawl holding knitting pn a table beside her, looking outwards

Sojourner Truth (1797-1883), abolitionist, women's rights advocate, who chose to be photographed with her knitting. As an enslaved person, she had knitted/spun endlessly and when free later in life, she taught knitting to former enslaved women aiding self-sufficiency #womensart

Something special is happening, people. Ignore it or downplay it at your own peril…

Congratulations, MAGA die-hards! You’ve officially entered the “Find Out” phase of this disaster.

Weingarten: If you think this is unprecedented. You’re not crazy. It is. It is. We have never faced the kind of assault on people that has happened in the last 60 plus days.

GOP = Group Of Perverts

AOC: We need to be taxing the rich on the floor of the Congress

We need to be establishing guaranteed healthcare on the floor of the Congress

We need to be passing a living wage on the floor of the Congress

Are you listening, @schumer.senate.gov?

She's talking about you.

And that crowd in Tempe, AZ agrees with what she's saying.

For the good of the country and democracy, step down as Senate Minority Leader.

It's clear you don't have the fight in you, and we need a leader who knows how to fight.

excerpt from THEY KNEW

:There was a coup in America, and no one noticed. It was a slow-moving coup, decades in the making, forged by redefining laws and loyalty until the contours of betrayal blurred."

--THEY KNEW (2022)

Photo of text from a newspaper article that says “Kennedy advances the lies that vaccines cause autism, increase cancer risk, and result in higher death rates. None of this is true, but Kennedy, a science denialist, will never accept the real scientific evidence showing the safety of vaccines. His goal is to cause fear over vaccines and public health ini-tiatives, which he does for profit Kennedy will promote decreased vaccine uptake, as he did when he influenced government officials in Samoa to stop measles vaccinations; in the resulting measles epidemic, 83 people died from measles, mostly chil-dren. The same will happen here.”

Everything that we warned the American public about regarding RFK Jr. is already happening.

An excerpt from an OpEd that @jimalwine.bsky.social and I published. We wrote about about what happened in Samoa with the measles outbreak there and said, simply:

“The same will happen here”.

Spot on.

The community note 🤌😘

Count me in, ladies!! 💙💙

It’s sad on the eve of Presidents Day it’s appropriate to have to post this.

He’s right again.

He's always right

Crazy when you got a peek under the hat
