Remember, the secret to happiness is good health. Live long enough to see the "White House ballroom" turned into a black history museum.

Oh, if you think agents had a tough time in LA and Chicago.. just wait til NYC steps up. The sheer density means federal agents are going to find themselves regularly outnumbered by angry crowds.

Hateful fascist refusing to swear in a duly elected representative to protect a pedophile or his president pal.

Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva MUST be sworn in!

#Arizona AG Kris Mayes is suing to force Congress to seat Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva, saying Southern Arizona has gone a month without representation.

CHICAGO: Federal Judge Jeffrey Cummings has found that ICE agents violated the terms of a consent decree by detaining people without proper warrants. He ruled that as of this week ICE must wear body cams at all times and can face arrest and contempt proceedings if they conduct unlawful, warrantless arrests.

AGAIN, every judge nationwide should make this clear. ICE fascists must follow the law or they will face arrest. Period.

In 1814 the White House in Washington DC was destroyed on the orders of the English King.

In 2025 it's being destroyed again, this time on the orders of the American 'King'.

Maybe having kings is a bad idea. #NoKings

There's no difference between Spotify running ads for ICE in Nazi America and promoting the Gestapo in Nazi Germany.

Texas is still waiting on FEMA aid, and the indifference from officials is astounding. Hopefully, Texans keep this in mind come 2026. It’s hard to ignore that the real focus seems to be funneling money to the wealthy while taking it from those already struggling. ✍🏻

Defending the Constitution shouldn't be partisan. But as long as we are weaponizing law enforcement to go after Rep McIver while ignoring everything else, it is. And if patriotic defense of the rule of law is partisan, go be partisan. Godspeed.

"Trump administration quietly canceled the nation’s largest solar project

The Trump administration’s cancellation of the largest solar project in the United States has sparked confusion and concern among Republicans and Democrats alike.

Known as the Esmeralda 7, the collection of seven solar projects in rural Nevada was set to generate up to 6.2 gigawatts of energy when complete, enough to power 2 million homes. That’s an eye-popping amount of power to add to an electrical grid that desperately needs more of it, due to the insatiable demand from AI-related data centers and increasing residential needs."

Gonna dress as either a vaccine or democratic socialism this year.

Boooo I'm gonna keep your children healthy! Boooo economy based on equality and solidarity!

Should really terrify some people this year.

As Congress is dragging its feet on extending ACA tax credits, some health insurance price hike info has already become public. Costs will increase anywhere from $13,700 to $23,700. (NY Times) So much for #Trump bringing down prices.

Brave scientists organizing ❤️ every single scientist I know has been protesting, organizing, pushing their institutions, fighting however they can. They feel alone and betrayed but they're still fighting for all of us

@briankrebs Cool! It is in fact quite amazing now what you can do with a phone camera. I had time to play with this when I was living in Chile working on commissioning a new telescope last year.

I also have a 15pro. If you can use a travel tripod you can get it still enough that you can increase the exposure time up to 30 seconds. You won’t be given the option unless it is really stable. It makes a big difference in the final result. I took this using that technique🙂.

@grimalkina As Professor Emerita at UCLA, I am relieved that our institution is one of the seven that rejected the so-called deal. The faculty made it very clear to executive administration to not back down and not give in.

. NEW YORK! Get out and vote NOW! #Mandami #NY #NewYork .

I’ve been doing my job all wrong. Apparently all the cool journalists have their stories accidentally texted to them by idiots now?

What’s a girl got to do to get some nuclear launch codes in the group chat?
