Everything you’re hearing from the Trump administration is a lie. Today was one of the most active days in Northeast since the entire Operation Metro Surge began.
Nothing is changing on the ground in Minneapolis, no matter what headlines Trump and Homan try to create.

This is exactly what my wife and I were talking about last night. Trump and this administration don't get to define America, in fact they are anti-American. He doesn't represent us, me, or you.
I get this, but here's where I'm at:
Trump & Vance are the worst of us. America is bigger than them, and they win if we let them define us.
Team USA is the best of us. It's filled with Americans MAGA hates—first-generation + immigrants, LGBTQ+ athletes, people of color—& I'm gonna root for them.

I really really want these athletes to have a great experience, be competitive and perhaps win a gold medal, but, honestly, the thought of hearing "USA!USA!USA!" during their games kinda makes me cringe. If we were any other country the IOC would ask us to march under the olympic flag.

🚨 New: We built a visual tracker of the warehouses ICE is targeting across the US.
Working off an idea from @actualkatherine.bsky.social, we’ve mapped active searches, canceled deals, and linked state property records.

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

74% of Democrats support abolishing ICE, with 53% *strongly* supporting it, according to YouGov polling from last month.
Weak calls for "reform" are coming from *elected* Democrats like Chuck, not the average Democratic voter.

Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:
End the roving patrols and racial profiling.
Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.
Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

Next time someone asks you about energy and land use, maybe remind them that the ~35 million acres that currently grow corn for ethanol in the US could produce ~15 PWh per year of electricity from solar photovoltaics. That's ~3.5 times more than *total annual generation from all US power plants*.

I'm cool with moving on from Giannis and starting the teardown since it's on the horizon, but botching the coaching situation and a lot of player moves post-title isn't inspiring much confidence. #Bucks #NBA
It’s insane that there’s basically no talk from major NBA media about how bad of a job Doc Rivers is doing. Absurd.
Yes the roster is flawed but Rivers has failed to institute a cohesive offense or defense and the rotations have been nonsensical. Worst coached team every night.

Sometimes I think about how the *good* outcome is that, for the rest of my life, our country is involved in a mass de-Nazification project. If we're lucky, that's what being an American is for the next 40 years.

"Just stay cool and don't make trouble until the midterms" is not going to cut it as an opposition response to a murderous regime whose masked thugs are killing people in the streets and then attempting to round up witnesses and destroy evidence.

For the 587th time: I am a single-issue voter for the next 2 elections. Prison for the people responsible for this shit. Down to the secretary scheduling travel and filling out paperwork. I don't care if it takes 50 years. I don't care if it's expensive. Charges and trials for every last one.

The Bears winning the Super Bowl this year wouldn't undo the hellmouth opened by the Cubs winning in 2016; it just widens the mouth, unleashing something worse than we can imagine. #NFL
