Go @katmabu.bsky.social go!

This is an escalation by DHS.

Six US Citizens and permanent residents are now home after being held over 30 hours at O’Hare, transferred to Broadview, and moved across state lines.

Community pressure got them home. So many more do not have that support.

Behold: the first-ever list of news outlets that have banned generative AI in their reporting. As of today, this is literally information that you cannot find on Google.

My goal is to fill the starter pack, so please send over suggestions with supporting evidence!

Watched the waves roll in from the lake (Lake Michigan) instead of unpacking boxes and being overwhelmed by settling into a new life overseas (and feeling guilty that I don’t appreciate the move more)

Amazon's tax bill plunges after GOP tax cuts The 87 percent drop is largely due to a more generous depreciation break in the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act.'

Trump and Republicans cut rural health care and meals for seniors to hand Bezos an 87% tax break: www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

For all those who didn't watch tonight, allow me to summarize:

The liar lied again.

Congratulations to baby fietser 🫶 👏👏👏

It is terrible to see what is happening at The Washington Post. Democracy Docket is a small newsroom, but it is growing. If you want to work for an independent, pro-democracy media outlet, I encourage you to apply. ats.rippling.com/democracy-do...

Analysis of MSM - with swearing 🔥🔥🔥

I can’t believe people are going to make me say this but I’ve now had to post it no less than half a dozen times on quote posts:

Pam Bondi was the state attorney for Hillsborough County (Tampa) during the time of Epstein’s first investigation.

Bättre journalistik vore att använda sig av en ”truth sandwich” - börja med sanningen om vad som faktiskt hände, därefter lögnen, avsluta sedan med sanningen igen - och sätt sedan en relevant rubrik

Scary but well said. A must watch/listen - not just the clip but the whole lecture!

🤩🥳 well done @underwood.house.gov, now on to calling my senators 📞

Thank you 😊, keeping fingers crossed 🤞🤞🤞

Sukkamestarit make some of the best socks! The Finnish Defence Forces swapped from (utterly hopeless) cotton socks to Sukkamestarit merino wool socks, and results were so good that you now find the same socks on sale in every Finnish supermarket.

(I've worn them for years too)

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

And trans lives are grounded in reality.

We see y'all. No matter what.

Thanks for sharing, sending this to all friends and relatives who thought I was overreacting in 2016

A photo of Georgia 72 candidate Scott Hamby, a white man with a round face and a goatee in a suit and tie with combat medals on his chest.

This am, I met with Scott Hamby, the Dem candidate in the Georgia 72 District.

Scott is a combat vet & GA native. He worked food aid in Ukraine, helped evacuate Afghanistan, and served for 20 yrs.

He is out to flip a gerrymandered district that's been in GOP hands for generations.

Well said!

ICE is using Uber stickers in order to disguise themselves and kidnap people. Spread this for awareness!

From my friend Kyle. This is essential reading for all Americans. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

🚄 Love high speed trains so this is great news (while on the TGV between Paris and La Rochelle at 180 mph). Copenhagen to Berlin in 4 hours would be a total game changer. Sadly, all my intercity trips in the US have been by car or airplane and don’t see that change anytime soon

DOJ indicts Democratic congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh over ICE protests Abughazaleh called the charges "yet another attempt by the Trump administration to criminalize protest and punish those who dare to speak up."

Let's be very clear: Donald Trump's Justice Department is not just going after @katmabu.bsky.social.

Trump is going against the youth movement that will kick his ass in the midterms and destroy MAGA for good.

Kat is fighting for all of us. We need to fight for her.

OK folks, here's the deal. Spotify is running ICE recruitment ads and has ignored asks to stop. It's time to tell them we won't stream fascism - by cancelling our subscriptions. Here's how to get started: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify

This is selfish ego-driven leadership that misreads the moment & demoralizes the base.

We have to keep calling these leaders out publicly & people have to jump in to primary them to force them affirmatively make their case on why they're the right people to lead us *now.*

calling in the NIMBYs for one last job

“Putin would eat you for lunch.”

Today, exactly that happened.

Thanks for this! Relieved my mom did not live in a nursing home in Sweden. Called her every day across the Atlantic to keep her informed about what the rest of the world was doing. The whole country got brainwashed into believing masks were stupid, even my medical Dr friends argued they were useless
