I am very excited about getting my first footage of a cougar. This is a rare sight in Manitoba.

I like to think about how Oaxacans have a whole whistling language, and how this is also now a form of resistance.
How whistles, sirens and voices are slowing LA’s deportation machine — Bystanders are becoming first responders, turning everyday sounds into alarms that buy their neighbors time against ICE raids.

This is the goal.
After Republicans refused to extend ACA subsidies, 4 Michigan insurers are dropping out of the ACA marketplace altogether. That’s 200,000 Michiganders who just lost their plans.
Four health insurers are dropping or significantly curtailing individual market offerings in 2026 as insurance pools are predicted to grow sicker. bit.ly/444v08M

"There is a lot more." Rep. Garcia shares the DOJ is hoarding files from federal Epstein investigations. "Photographs, possibly videos, they have information we need to actually bring justice to the survivors and to implicate the wealthy and powerful men that abused and raped children and women."

A reminder that the Epstein files aren't a distraction from the oligarchy. They're an integral part of it.
A reminder: The perpetrators in the Epstein files are Oligarchs, and so are the ones protecting them.

Summer Lee just said something I didn't know on #inners. The House Oversight Committee has already subpoenaed the DOJ for all Epstein documents and the DOJ has obstructed since July.

This archived Twitter thread from Feb 2020 feels especially relevant.

Women move through the world knowing that you can name a field of endeavor—any field of endeavor—and a few of the Great Men in it, & you'll find rapists. And that we are required to make some kind of peace with that knowledge.
A famous actor of remarkable skill died at a very ripe old age today. Beyond his art, he's known for taking a stand that helped end the terror of the McCarthy years, & for raping a 16 yo girl, events that happened just a few yrs apart. I'm purposely not using his name because

About last night…
Thanks to everyone on here for letting me know to go outside tonight. These were the second brightest I’ve ever seen - halfway up the sky in the middle of the city. Quiet now but probably have some tricks coming. I’m going to bed tho

The physical abuse of children by adult men is an actual plank of all right-wing political thought, a thing they believe in strongly and govern to enable, not just something thousands of them happen to do. Fascism is a politics of violent mastery and no one's easier to do that to than a child.
NEW FOIA Files SCOOP: The FBI redacted Trump’s name—and the names of other prominent public figures—from the Epstein files under two privacy exemptions before DOJ & FBI concluded “no further disclosure” of the files “would be appropriate or warranted.”

The FBI Redacted Trump’s Name in the Epstein Files

This. The night I watched the coverage of “grab her by the 🐈 “ footage and trump really took no damage…I knew nothing mattered. If you’re rich you can do what you want to women and girls.
Trump getting elected a few weeks AFTER the Access Hollywood tape dropped was to America’s culture of sexual violence what Sandy Hook was for gun violence—a clear sign that tens of millions of “conservatives” were totally fine with it.
i mean c’mon. the president’s best friend was the most notorious pedo in the country’s history who ran a massive child trafficking ring. every bit of circumstantial evidence we have says that trump was a participant. if this were a criminal trial we’d have enough evidence to compel a plea deal.

This is a live cam of the sky in Iceland. If you’re in the US, it could give you a few hours heads up on what kind of night it might be!

And if you live somewhere cloudy, well, it’s also useful then

To be a U.S. Senator is to be an institutionalist. Even Bernie Sanders cares more about his role and friendships in the senate than he does about his ideological project. If ideology came first he would lead the charge on ousting Schumer. But that’s his friend.

I double dog dare ANYONE to give me one legitimate reason why we need health insurance companies.

Besides making money for themselves and frustrating the shit out of needy people, what actual necessary service do they provide?

Starbucks workers are ON STRIKE! Tell everyone in your life to stop buying Starbucks — don’t cross the picket line!
Over 14,000 Starbucks workers have unionized since 2021, but they still don’t have a union contract because of Starbucks’ stalling.

That’s why we, @jayapal.house.gov, & over 80 Members of Congress are calling on Starbucks to stop union-busting & reach a contract with @sbworkersunited.org
