Vermeer’s Girl With The Pearl Earring will be shown in Osaka, later this year, and the press conference was as Japanese as you’d expect #Vermeer

Honestly, one of the funniest tweets I've ever seen.

Vladimir Putin is the worst U.S. president since Elon Musk stepped down last year.

Hey guess what your tax dollars might be -- if Tubby doesn't steal every penny for himself, he's like that -- going to the people who did this so they can buy more weapons and drugs and pay for the lawyers who represent them when they're inevitably arrested for child porn.

Lawyers of Bluesky, how about putting out some templates for the rest of us to use in filing for our share of Trump's slush fund? Much appreciated.

The war is always perpetually nearly won and won already, and nearly finished and just about to start.

Boys will be boys

It's called Art of the Deal, people!

The DOJ's behavior has been obscene. They just want this guy dead because he made them look bad. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

A legit possibility that if Iran could send Trump a big golden trophy, big new Middle Eastern Peace Award, he'd settle with them for whatever terms they offered.

I’ve been notified about another death in ICE custody. This marks a stunning 40 deaths during the second Trump administration. This cannot continue. There must be real accountability for ICE and DHS.

Raskin: Based on what you know today, were Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists? Noem: What happened was an absolute tragedy. Raskin: Were they domestic terrorists? Noem: My condolences to their families Raskin: You lied about them.

We’re not being governed, we’re being looted. www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

so fun fact: recently during the fraud investigations being redone by this season’s feds, MN’s rate of medicaid/medicare fraud was well below the national average nationally, it’s ≈ 6% each year; in minnesota it’s like ≈ 2.5% we know this is vindictive at this point

The best Twitter riposte of the day is a community note.

This guy gets it.

bluesky ran into an error trying to pull in the headline for this article but the result is frankly evergreen

Leo seems cool and all, but we could've had Pope Pizzaballa.

How dare you doubt my talking mongoose.

😲 This is THE most amazing thing I've seen this year. (And that's saying something!) A ResistDance retelling of ICE murdering Renee Good & Alex Pretti enacted through dance‼️😭 Performed by First Amendment Troop in DC. 🤍

“I asked for an attorney probably a hundred times and was never given one,” Saari said. “I was never told why I was being arrested.” Then, Saari said, “They took my cell phone and cloned it. They actually told me they did that.” 🚨They cloned his phone without a warrant.🚨

This scheme to make passports harder to obtain comes as Republicans are trying to make passports one of the few documents that can be presented in order to be permitted to register to vote.

This how you isolate and capture "the worst of the worst" of these dangerous immigrants. You show yourself to be in need of help, and the worst criminals reveal themselves and their criminality by doing whatever they can to provide you with help. Masterful law enforcement.

What a great photo of Brazilian alpine skier Lucas Pinheiro Braathen, the first South American to ever win a medal at the Winter Olympic Games.

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

Sorry, it was Willow the cat’s fault. We tried to stop her.

Wine moms with Molotov cocktails is now the moderate position on ICE.

It's not a new observation at this point but that wild Noem/Lewandowski story in WSJ really brings home the extent to which all the Trump 2 cabinet-level goblins see their jobs as flying private, doing short-form video, and screaming at underlings.

The cartoon that appeared this week on the front page of France’s most influential national newspaper, Le Monde Brilliant work by the cartoonist, Guffo.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

You... You guys know "Mar a Lago" is in Spanish right?
