This is Bryan. Once a week, he takes a shelter pup on a New York City adventure in his 'Adopt Me' backpack, hoping someone will fall in love. He films their big day out, and almost every dog he's featured has found a forever home.

NEWS: Donald Trump just gave a MASSIVE handout to the richest corporations in America.

How? By delivering them new tax cuts for research they've ALREADY done.

Some billionaire companies will pay a lower tax rate than a public school teacher.

It’s shameful.

The Fox News chyron reads "Latest Dem hoax" at the same time that Brendan Carr confirms that yes, the FCC would've "enforced the law" and gone after CBS had Colbert aired his interview with Talarico on TV

WTF. Talarico’s anti-billionaire message really striking a nerve!

Texans, you know your assignment for primary voting!

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

On the β€œflip Texas front” turns out my new gerrymandered US House District 11 is flippable!!!

A chunk of north Austin was added to a low-turnout West Texas region. Texas Dems - you gotta show up and vote August Pfluger OUT!

For the Dem Primary, recommend voting for Claire Reynolds.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

The book lovers in Fort Worth, TX aren’t happy with the administration it seems.

Generator buying madness at Harbor Freight in Central Texas right now. They are flying out the door. We are expecting an ice storm and loss of power.

If you are in Seattle, please go patronize this store because this is amazing content/promo πŸ˜‚ (laughing to keep from crying, and I do kind of low-key want that orange spider plant I have never seen that before)

16-year-old Arnoldo Bazan and his father were getting McDonald’s before school when immigration agents pulled them over.

They slammed his father to the ground and put the teen in a chokehold. β€œI felt like I was going to pass out and die,” he said.

Currently living in rural Central Texas and Talarico is our fav. He zoomed into my county Dem meeting to take questions last fall. Seriously a better candidate than Crockett as he tries to appeal across party lines. She will never win a general election in this state.

Klein: β€œWhat is, to you, the β€˜rage economy’?”

Talarico: β€œThe billionaires own the algorithms and the news networks.

They are selling us conflict right into our bloodstream, and they’re calling it connection.

And I think it’s left people starving for actual community.”

I’m seeing lots of people on here misunderstand the purpose of ICE watch.

It’s de-escalation. And it’s grounded in the social science of violence. 🧡

Post from Amanda Gorman’s Instagram that says 

amandascgorman
Minneapolis, Minnesota
For Renee Nicole Good
Killed by ICE. on January 7, 2026
by Amanda Gorman
They say she is no more, That there her absence roars, Blood-blown like a rose.
Iced wheels flinched & froze.
Now, bare riot of candles, Dark fury of flowers, Pure howling of hymns.
If for us she arose,
Somewhere, in the pitched deep of our grief, Crouches our power,
The howl where we begin,
Straining upon the edge of the crooked crater Of the worst of what we've been.
Change is only possible, & all the greater, When the labour
& bitter anger of our neighbors
Is moved by the love
* better angels of our nature.

πŸ”₯ @markruffalo.bsky.social : β€œI gotta be honest, I’m not feeling so great. Renee Good was murdered... stormtroopers running around terrorizing. As much as I love all this, I can’t pretend all this crazy stuff isn’t happening. We have a president who says laws don’t apply to him- this is crazy.”

Yesterday Elon Musk retweeted "white solidarity is the only way to survive". In our numb overwhelmed media environment it barely made headlines that the world's richest man endorsed blood-curdling white nationalism. My brief writeup for @religiondispatches.org

Best Twitter riposte of the day. I started the morning looking at mass protest videos uncertain whether I was watching Minneapolis or Tehran. Turns out it was both.
