Glad this is getting covered, but also… Completely surreal to read the NYT report on this as recently disclosed info, and just an allegation. This happened to every observer I know! It happened to me twice! I have it on video both times! www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/u...

Please check out this letter (to you!) and join us in pledging to withhold donations from the school until our alma mater takes steps to restore the values it once held so dear.

And share with any alums in your network.

1947 - Dodgers sign Jackie Robinson, the first Black player in the MLB.

2026 - Dodgers to visit man who just posted video of the Obamas as apes.

Sad.

Just because we aren't totally surprised, doesn't mean we can shrug it off. Decency, dignity, and humanity matter, even now. Especially now.

From his now-deleted and grotesque post targeting the Obamas, to his doctored image that altered the expression and skin tone of a Black civil rights lawyer, his use of AI is simply the newest form of an old pattern: open racism from Donald Trump.

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”

Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

John Thune has already called the Dems' list of (extremely weak) demands "unrealistic."

One of those demands was to require ICE to verify whether someone is a citizen before detaining them.

The GOP will not agree to NOT detain US citizens.

We all need to sit with that for a while.

When I worked in DC our office moved to 15th and K. Best feature of the office space was that the cafeteria looked out at the Washington Post building. Just seeing the building was like seeing a celebrity every day. What Bezos has done to the paper is just devastating.

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman

Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.

It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.

Proud of my denomination's role in this fight.
Today, UUA President Rev. Dr. Sofía Betancourt was arrested in Washington, D.C., alongside other people of faith protesting the DHS budget that funds ICE and CBP. “There is no moral justification,” she said. This is a developing story: https://bit.ly/3NKDUDj #UU #FaithInAction #Immigration #ICEOut

The Battle of Minneapolis is far from over. But Trump... flinched. The People are doing what the law and the Democrats cannot: defending thier rights and the rights of others.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Every time they bring on a member of the administration, news outlets need to have an entire follow up segment where they explain how everything their guest said was a lie.
Sean Duffy: "If you come to a protest with a 9mm firearm, that's fine believing in the Second Amendment, but you stand on the sidewalk and you hold your sign. You take that 9mm and you start to engage with ICE officers, and then you resist arrest -- listen, I don't want anyone to die, but ... "

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

Last week, our president testified against SB 236 — but despite powerful expert testimony, it passed committee 7-4.

This bill is dangerous, and we need your voice.

📞 Contact your senator TODAY and tell them to vote NO on SB 236.
