This is the kind of thing white supremacists have been doing to Emmett Till’s memorial for decades. It’s wild to see them do this to a white woman who the entire world saw extrajudicially murdered.

Why do they call them "prediction markets" and not "futures futures"?

2026 basically

Wonderfully written NY Times piece by a local dad involved in the resistance, really echoes with a lot of what we’re feeling: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/18/o... (gift link)

This is how you live a life

I propose an international law that once you become personally responsible for the murder of 1,000 people, be it via direct violence or policy, you are declared a dragon and adventurers can form parties to quest against you.

It's great how tech bros have gone from thinking entropy is money (crypto) to thinking entropy is property (NFTs) to thinking entropy is art (genAI) to thinking entropy is labor (agentic AI). They get billions of dollars for producing nothing but waste heat, and the rest of us get to die poor.

wealth concentration is already 200% as bad at is was in 2020. think about that

This visualization of daily activity of ICE is unreal.

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

They talk and act exactly like Nazis in pursuit of the exact same objectives as Nazis using the exact same tactics and rationales as Nazis but it would be wrong to call them Nazis until they grow the little mustache.

Animation of all fed activity from Dec 1st through Feb 11th. The source data are a combo of both rapid response networks' data and IceOut's.

You need to know about the SAVE Act, which recently passed in the House. So here's a crash course from reporter Ari Berman on how the sweeping voter restriction bill could disenfranchise millions of Americans

Absolutely beautiful Steve Sack

There is no way Senate Dems should vote for DHS funding while Republicans are threatening to nationalize elections and Trump is threatening to do it by executive order. ICE reforms are no longer enough. Their authoritarianism must be fought with every legislative lever available.

My statement on the ICE withdrawal from Minnesota.

Incredibly powerful opinion chronicling the awfulness in Whipple and the ways it interfered with the right to counsel. One key part of the ruling (that ICE will likely appeal ASAP); Judge Brasel bars ICE from transferring anyone out of Minnesota within 72 hours of arrest.

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Garrison Keillor, Gretchen Carlson, and Michele Bachmann. They probably all, uh, still have their fans.

Ending this operation is not enough. We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.

I’m relieved that this violent paramilitary force will be removed from our streets, but I won’t believe it until they're actually gone. Minnesotans deserve justice and accountability, and I won’t stop until we get it.

A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today. It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files. Just wow.

This is a long thread but you should read it. In related news, judges *must* start holding AUSAs in contempt (and then locking them up) if we want this to stop without more bloodshed.

Please read this thread. I don't know the lawyer personally, but they report issues backed up by many journalists -- though it's easy to miss stories if you aren't also living through it. There is an ethnic cleansing campaign going on, and the law books are used as toilet paper. Please read.

What movie moment made you cry out, "This is CINEMA!" (though I wouldn't have known to use the word "cinema" yet. I just exclaimed "wooooo!" like the other kids in the theater.)

CNN confirms what MSNBC reported live a few hours ago: DOJ is surveilling Dem lawmakers when they go to the DOJ to search unredacted Epstein files.

Every new revelation confirms the prior. Our neighbors are in this concentration camp. Some of them have been there weeks. I know someone who's been there a month. Every single day I think about him. I am an atheist and I started praying again. Abolition is the moderate position. I want revenge.

We may need to replace the Great Man Theory of History with the Giant Asshole Theory of History.

1. The FBI affidavit used to seize ballots and other materials from the 2020 election in Fulton County relies on debunked conspiracy theories. For example, it isn’t true that Fulton first “reported” 511,343 ballots and then “reported” 527,925. I’ll explain. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

JFC. ICE kidnaps a girl from St. Cloud and bring her down to Whipple for processing and probable transpo and deportment (bad). A judge's order said, keep her in the state (good). ICE said, call your folks to get you. It was a trap, they wanted them all (bad); stash her in their hotel overnight (?!?)

A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists. That's 2%! www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE: "I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

This is starting to get like universal basic income where every single objective study shows the same result but the people who don't like that result go "uh, well there's just really no way to know"

They're building concentration camps with my tax money Chuck. They're torturing children. They're murdering innocent people on the street. What are you doing.

Post a banger that isn't in English. youtu.be/GsaRfnZCHCo?...

Hi all, there are a lot of things to be said about the chaos, kidnapping and murder, that is happening in the state I live in right now. I want to highlight some things I have personally seen in the last month or so out on the streets in Minneapolis. 🧵

Re: Bad Bunny's halftime show. I don't think I've seen so much discussion about IDing and explaining the high density of symbols, Easter eggs, and meanings of a performance since Childish Gambino's This Is America video dropped. That's okay. This, too, is America.

9,852 theatrical pyrotechnics, nearly 400 costumed extras, 25 carts, and one very excellent BTS explainer

It's not even midnight and we're already at "Deport Elmo."

After watching parts of the half-time show, my mom explained the closing billboard sign to my 90yo grandpa. Mom: "The only thing more powerful than hate is love." Grandpa: "Then he really is a good bunny."

Our kind of super bowl. 🍜
