#AnimalsNetflix One of the worse films I've seen. Learned Ben Affleck used AI throughout. Glad I didn't waste more than 15 min. on it. Hard pass.

Students are protesting poor school conditions in France. How can anyone be against better school conditions? And in France, no less. Support our youth for crying out loud! Stop treating them like criminals! #FranceProtests

This "tweet" from a year ago has been deleted by its author. I'm posting here now on BlueSky as a reminder and as a public service, for anyone, should they ever need it. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

If AI is so smart and powerful, why doesn't it come up with a data center design that doesn't foul the air, water and destroy acres and acres of land? Oh right, because it's dumb and useless.

Now we have proof it can be done!!!

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

We're the only country of its kind who doesn't have single payer, universal healthcare. Why? Greed. Americans deserve what other countries have enjoyed for decades. Our tax dollars paying for necessary services--healthcare, education, social security. That's what we want.

AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

The Artemis II crew proposed naming a moon crater after Commander Reid Wiseman’s late wife Carroll, who lost her life to cancer 😭

Imagine if any other country's leader did what he's doing, would anyone stand for it? At some point the global leaders need to grow a spine.

“Taking Cuba” Imagine the leader of another country talking like this

The campaign, "Resist and Unsubscribe" isn't for everyone, but it should be. If we hope to derail the MAGA authoritarian regime that has taken hold of the United States, this is the most powerful statement that can be made. Hit 'em where it hurts! 🗽 www.npr.org/2026/02/07/n...

npr.orgDVDs and public transit: Boycott drives people to ditch Big Tech to protest ICEA sweeping boycott has begun — targeting tech giants who participants believe are enabling President Trump and his immigration crackdown.

Pass this info along. In order for ICE to enter a home, they must have a JUDICIAL WARRANT, which goes through the court system. What THEY are saying is they have is an ADMINISTRATIVE warrant which means nothing!!! We have protections under the 4th amendment. So ASK what kind of warrant they have!

ICE isn't even pretending to do anything related to their job description now, the facade is gone. They are openly killing, attacking, teargassing, flashbanging American citizens exercising their 1st amendment rights. And government officials can do nothing to protect our citizens?

Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

ICE executed another peaceful protester this morning at 26th and Nicollet. Emptied their gun into the man who they had beat up, laying on the ground. Video circulating. Local MN police are not helping #GovWalz @governorwalz.mn.gov
