Remember those bad Muslim Somalis who supposedly ran a day care scam that cost taxpayers millions? They just sentenced #AimeeBock >> the white woman who really committed the crime << to 41 years in prison. www.axios.com/local/twin-c...

Trump just stole $1.8B. He’s going to give it to his business, his kids, and people like Flynn, Eastman, Giuliani, and the Oath Keepers. He’s doing this without court approval or Congress. This is a crime, but there’s no one to prosecute it because the DoJ is in on it.

I‘m concerned you’re reacting as expected by those who are framing her speech this way in order to distract and stoke divisions. In truth, AOC praised the civil rights activists in the south and called for people outside the south to join them. Listen to the speech: www.instagram.com/p/DYayv3MOu3N/

Trump didn’t just pardon his followers who stormed the U.S. Capitol. He’s now set them up for payments through a slush fund he created to reward his allies—out of your tax dollars. You could not make this up.

Hours after ICE arrested Israel Makoka and his younger brother, Max, as they boarded their school bus in Diamondhead, Mississippi, Israel found himself in a living-room sized cell with 25 men and a single exposed toilet. He slept on the floor that night, using his shoes for a pillow. Their story:

It’s astounding that Zelensky survived a full-scale war without ever having a ballroom.

Framed it! Thank you @joespub.bsky.social ❤️❤️❤️

Conservative politicians working this hard to reinstate 2nd class citizenship for Black folks is the real story of America -- and they'll never tell it. But I will. (2/2)

When you make your pithy remarks about Americans, always remember -- foundational Black Americans and Indigenous people are to the USA as Palestinians are to Israel. (1/2)

The people who force us to live in a violent country really thought they wouldn't have to live in a violent country along with us. They thought other people would do the dying for them. When one of them catches one of the strays they put in the air to catch us, what are we supposed to do but shrug.

Steve Kerr spot on as usual

Morgan Wallen makes music for people who can see their bathroom from their kitchen

I think you mean the White House is breaking a law that was put in place by congress after Watergate.

Totally normal thing.

With the Trump administration switching into anti-Catholic overdrive this week, I wrote about a time a hundred years ago when Catholic students from Notre Dame beat the shit out of the Klan. A feel good story for the ages. dansinker.com/posts/2026-0...

Here's what's next - The Jalopy Gala! www.viewcy.com/event/jalopy...

Dr. Dan Edney, Mississippi's State Health Officer, is no longer under consideration for CDC director after he came under fire from allies of RFK Jr. over his support for vaccines and medical science. RFK advisor Aaron Siri said Edney “has no business dispensing bandaids, let alone running the CDC.”

Two pilots dead at LaGuardia. A lone controller managing two simultaneous emergencies. The FAA is 3,000 controllers short. We will blame the human. We should fix the system. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

New: Pete Hegseth’s pastor and close spiritual advisor says he wants Texas Democratic state Rep. James Talarico to die. “We want him crucified with Christ,” Brooks Potteiger said of Talarico, as the podcast host said he prays “that God kills him.” www.huffpost.com/entry/pete-h...

Once again, it's time for my monthly roundup of the best country (and country-ISH) music on @bandcamp.com for Bandcamp Daily. February's includes @queenesther.bsky.social, @rissipalmermusic.bsky.social and 3 lovely benefit comps from @centripetalforce.bsky.social & @seawindofbattery.bsky.social.

I'm so happy to have someone else who's out here evangelizing on behalf of this absolutely extraordinary album and the inimitable @queenesther.bsky.social.

not for nothing but Donny's clown car of yutzes in the "diplomat" space lead me to kindly suggest other countries take France's lead here

It's an album about how oppressed people attempt to reclaim power and agency, and Queen Esther reads 2026's room correctly, knowing that such a message must be delivered with authority and without apology. And no one in this space is better equipped to do that; hers is a singular talent.

Today's mood.

Fannie Lou Hamer challenged the Democratic Party power brokers at the 1964 Democratic National Convention to allow Black delegates to represent Mississippi. "All of this is on account of we want to register, to become first-class citizens," Hamer told the DNC credentials committee in 1964.

This is entertaining coming from an old comedian This is fucking horrifying from your country's health guy

If you think measles is exciting, great news! You can catch it in South Carolina! We eliminated it decades ago, but SC said “not on my watch” and now has 840 cases! Huge shoutout to right wing media and influencers telling people not to trust science. Make America Sick Again!🇺🇸🇺🇸
