this is a beautiful look at one of our most beautiful natural treasures
I just wrote a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social letter: EMERGENCY ACTION BY MARCH 5! Send a Public Comment to ICE: No Detention Camps in Maryland!. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/emer...
Dallas is officially SOLD OUT and Austin is filling up fast!
Grab your seat before they’re gone, and join us on March 19.
A year into this administration, decades of bipartisan progress on global health have been undone. Billions in foreign aid were cut or withheld, hurting communities around the world.
Here are five key reads from the past year on why these cuts matter: www.pih.org/article/unde...
It’s #WorldCancerDay! 🎗️ Antibody-drug conjugates are so-called "magic bullet" medicines that target cancer cells while sparing healthy ones. This graphic looks at how they work, their history, and their future: www.compoundchem.com/2026/02/04/a...

"When asked about the doctored image... the White House was unapologetic. Kaelan Dorr, the deputy communications director, brushed it off"
"Reposting the doctored photograph," he wrote: "The memes will continue."
Utter contempt for the truth. A reminder to believe nothing from this administration.
This infographic from The White House, titled "U.S. STEEL PRODUCTION INCREASES," uses a bar chart to compare total production in 2024 versus 2025, but it employs a heavily truncated y-axis to exaggerate the appearance of growth. The vertical axis begins at 80.2 million tonnes (Mt) rather than zero, which makes the 2025 green bar (representing approximately 81.8 Mt) appear roughly five times taller than the 2024 red bar (representing approximately 80.9 Mt). In reality, this indicates a modest increase of approximately 1.1%, though the visual presentation suggests a massive, multi-fold surge in production.
I'd like to report a y-axis crime…
If you work for ICE or Border Patrol and have information about unlawful conduct taking place at your agency, please speak up.
House Judiciary Dems want to hear from you. America needs to know about crimes committed in our name. As a whistleblower, you can share anonymously:
I made a promise to Alex’s parents to continue to tell his story.
An ICU nurse at the VA, an outdoorsman, a deeply generous, compassionate friend and family member, and a true son of Minnesota. Rest in peace, Alex.
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
Stay free
Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.
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.
Screenshot of an X post by James Talarico (@jamestal…; 5h). The text reads: “ICE shot a mother in the face. ICE kidnapped a 5 year-old boy. ICE executed a man on the street. It’s time to tear down this secret police force.” Below is a video thumbnail showing Talarico speaking at a podium in front of a blue curtain. A TV chyron references a “Democratic U.S. Senate primary debate” and asks, “Do you support defunding or abolishing ICE?” with KXAN/Nexstar branding and “LIVE: U.S. Senate Debate.”
Talarico is right. Stop them now, before they come to your city to do the same.
The deputy White House chief of staff, Stephen Miller, called Pretti a “domestic terrorist” and an “assassin.” In fact, Pretti was a registered nurse working in intensive care at a Department of Veterans Affairs hospital.
This is who he really was.
"Trump has been taking on ... behaviors that define a fascist. He has seized authorities from Congress, ordered prosecutions of his critics, led a violent coup ... and built a paramilitary force that kills civilians with 'absolute immunity.'"
And now, in echoes of 1938, he's threatening Europe.
"Let’s stipulate up front that in any analogy to Nazism, the differences dwarf the similarities. But with all that being said: It’s disconcerting how much Trump’s speech resembles Hitler’s."
New from @saletan.bsky.social:
Since Lindsey Graham is now on the "we should own Greenland" side, go back and read @saletan.bsky.social's meticulous documentation of how Lindsey Graham's notion of getting Trump to support sane foreign policy failed and corrupted only himself: lnk.thebulwark.com/4pR7K6l
There’s a rally going on in Boston rn and they’re chanting “we’re not cold, we’re not afraid, MN taught us to be brave!” and I might cry
Please share. 💔
"This looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement," says Bovino.
None of the photos or videos are consistent with that statement. They all indicate the statement is a lie. Note especially Bovino's carefully misleading statements about the gun.
Vance on Jan. 8: "You have a federal law enforcement official engaging in federal law enforcement action. That's a federal issue. That guy's protected by absolute immunity."
Vance today: "I didn't say that officers who engaged in wrongdoing would enjoy immunity. That's absurd."
Stop what you’re doing and read this whistleblower report. ICE has been training its agents that they don’t need a judicial warrant to break down your door - a blatant violation of the 4th Amendment. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...
Governor Polis: If you pardon Tina Peters, then Trump will learn that he can flatten federalism if he finds the right leverage.
An infographic titled "Tear Gas: Chemistry, Dispersal Methods & Effects". It details the active agent in tear gas, 2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile, showing its chemical structure. It explains dispersal via burning canisters (using charcoal and potassium nitrate) or sprays. Health effects include eye, nose, and respiratory irritation lasting 15–30 minutes. Treatment steps advise moving to fresh air, removing clothing, and flushing with water or saline.
US ICE agents have been using tear gas on protestors in Minneapolis. There's been plenty of tear gas misinformation flying around on social media; here's a summary of the chemistry and the best way to get rid of it (TLDR: water): www.compoundchem.com/2020/06/09/t...

The MoCo Volunteer Center is a great resource: I found 2 wonderful volunteer positions there!
"Humiliation of their victims, a kind of relish in their fear and misery, a kind of—let’s call it what it is—sadism has become a dominant part of the culture of ICE. It does not, thankfully, appear to be dominant in the culture of the country."
"Trump is putting America’s money in Qatar, where courts can’t touch it. Kind of like a drug dealer stashing his funds in the Caymans."
An infographic guide to selected common painkillers. The structures of 12 different painkillers are shown, including paracetamol, ibuprofen, codeine, morphine and more. Trade names for each compound are shown as well as a short description of modes of action (where known).
A thorough review confirms that taking paracetamol during pregnancy does not increase the chances that the child will be autistic: www.theguardian.com/society/2026...
Paracetamol is featured in this infographic guide to different painkillers and how they work: www.compoundchem.com/2014/09/25/p...
The main bank account holding revenue from the Venezuelan oil sales is located in Qatar.
“There is no basis in law for a president to set up an offshore account that he controls so that he can sell assets seized by the American military,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

Trump says he's preempting Russia and China. In Venezuela and Ukraine, we're taking the oil or minerals they would have taken. In Greenland, we’re trying to seize the territory they would have seized.
We’re doing exactly what they would have done. And that’s a disgrace America will never live down.
