Worst of all, it appears to be the only way the FBI targets people for investigations. It looks at Laura Loomer's little Jigsaw from Saw panopticon feed and determines who to target next. There is no professional or personal use case for being on Twitter in 2026. It's an engagement trap for racists.

When the big breaking news finally comes, before they even have the chance to lower the flags to half-mast, the entire world will be like...

a century from now, people will not believe the US voted into office (TWICE) such an obviously 2-dimensional, hollow, venal, vindictive, grasping character. Someone will make an Oscar-winning biopic that gives him nuance and complexity, bcz the truth will be unbelievable.

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported. He finally died. I am so angry. www.kptv.com/2026/02/21/n...

I wish I could warn all the people who are planning to come for the Olympics and the World Cup. This is not a time to come to this benighted country. If there was a smallpox epidemic, you would not visit. We are having a little problem with a fascism epidemic. Do not come.

Do not come to the US. For any but the most dire reason. Do not come.

This is so so good. Not the point of the piece, but it’s also an incredible answer to why college is so expensive, too.

How could anybody be a white supremacist? Have they never met white people?

i just love this guy

You just can't exaggerate how foundational it is to reactionary psychology to be consumed with *avoiding responsibility*. You get everything you can & avoid as much blame as you can. Clutch & hoard privileges, reject & deny responsibilities. That's "winning."

We paid roughly $680 million/yr to the WHO to participate in their worldwide data collection network and outbreak response infrastructure. We withdrew from WHO because it was “too expensive”. Now the Trump admin is proposing we spend $2 billion a year to replace it. Party of fiscal responsibility?

Absolute failure of journalism everywhere that not one reporter has put on a sincere concerned face and asked him “Mr President, for Americans out there who don’t understand how great your policy is, can you explain how tariffs work?”

The US has a food accessibility issue. We have a capitalism issue making it way too hard to afford and find time to prepare healthy food. We eat too much meat and not enough fiber. But we rank third globally for quality and safety. Global Food Security Index (GFSI) share.google/AvWKZ0Yd4MFW...

The president of the United States said at a press conference that he, and I quote, "want to be a good boy."

Thomas Jefferson: Extremely annoying The abolitionists: Relentlessly annoying William Jennings Bryan: Annoying af MLK: You think people didn't find those shut-downs/boycotts annoying? Malcolm X: lololololol ACT-UP: Belligerently annoying Bernie Sanders: lolololol C'mon.

Maybe It Will Happen Today

important reminder for any remaining government lawyers staring down this nightmare case load: real winners quit

We'll all live if no one gives Larry Summers insanely high paychecks and public forums to be wrong in anymore. Same if Bills Gates and Clinton have to withdraw from public life. Dersh should have been gone decades ago. Chomsky, oof. Thiel, Musk, good riddance.

if anyone is tempted to briefly hand it to John Roberts remember that he is about to finish his life’s work of destroying the Voting Rights Act and save yourself the trouble

There's three votes for anything on the supreme court. If trump said "I'm the god-king of arrakis" he'd get three votes and a lengthy opinion about the long history and tradition of english common law with regards to the spice melange

first they came for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, and I said nothing, but i did laugh quite a lot

This really is a great picture:

"Unlike the 'meritocracy' they are trying to build in which white men are restored to their proper dominance, the Olympics are pretty close to a true meritocracy. Conservatives can’t whine that Simone Biles or Chloe Kim must have gotten their spots by pushing aside a more 'qualified' white athlete."

a thread worth bookmarking for consequences

Let's hear it for the federal district court judges. 6abc.com/post/slavery...

On this day in 1923, the U.S. Supreme Court *unanimously* decided that people of South Asian descent could not be American citizens, and retroactively stripped citizenship from many who had already been naturalized. Years of organized persecution followed. www.saada.org/explore/publ...

in america, if you go over your 3 minute allotment to speak, men with guns come to take you away.

I was at a DOJ conference in 2009 which became a multi-week scandal for allegedly serving $16 muffins. (There were no $16 muffins, btw. The hotel billed a continental breakfast as "baked goods," which also included fresh fruit, coffee, tea, soft drinks, tax and tip.)

If you’re an American service member who gets killed in a retaliatory strike, your family can take comfort in the fact that it was done in service of making the host of Celebrity Apprentice feel like a big man for a minute, before he moved on to something else and forgets about this forever

being literally wealthier than kings and monarchical dynasties with no corresponding social obligations is extremely corrosive to both the individual and the body politic, and taking 95% of everything elon musk has would be better for him, personally.

So SCOTUS, with its fabricated-out-of-thin-air immunity doctrine, has actually made American presidents less accountable than LITERAL royalty.

I've said it before and I’ll say it again: their extremism is getting more explicit by the day. Punishing women—which used to be an untouchable issue within the anti-abortion movement—is now being discussed freely. Read more: jessica.substack.com/p/tennessee-...

And after all that, the Pitt/Cruise AI fight scene appears to have been just digital BG and face replacement on multi-angle green screen reference videos of two real live human stuntees fighting. In other words, like most AI hype — it was a con. www.shokunin.studio/blog/2026/2/...

Starting a war with Iran is obviously the best way to win the Nobel Peace Prize. You see he'll start it and eventually it will stop and he will claim that he ended it. Kind of like an arsonist with a bucket of water. Genius.

ICE detention for 6 year old children. The Waldorf Astoria for a convicted narco terrorist who conspired with the Sinoloa cartel to stuff cocaine up the gringos' noses.

There was an episode of Highlander that dealt with this, an immortal who had his first death as a preteen. He ended up psychotic as I recall....

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.

I mean, seriously, news org *promoting gambling on politics* is... kind of obscene.

My guess is that the goal here is not only to punish the children for turning more people against ICE/DHS, but also to make news outlets think twice about reporting on kids' suffering at the hands of ICE/DHS, out of concern that doing so might lead to retaliation against the kids.

I give more of my net worth to the homeless on the street in an average year than Elon Musk has given to anyone, ever, in all forms of charity combined, over his entire life.

“Is there a technology the left is excited about?” High-speed rail! MRNA vaccines! New cancer treatments! Solar and wind energy collection! Better and longer-range EVs! That wood that's harder than steel! New apples! Fibermaxxing! Buldak Swicy ramen! Muppets! Muppets are too a technology, shut up!

Imagine doing this with your one precious life. Other people are out there teaching children and curing cancer and you decide to spend your time telling outrageous, laughably unbelievable lies about a dementia-addled rapist and fraud whose legacy will be nearly ending US democracy

A propos of not much, I love the block feature here. Wish it took even fewer clicks

Okay, here's a quiz for y'all: Use the author(s) whose works you FIXATED ON in middle school to describe your age. I am Anne McCaffery, Chris Claremont, and Tamora Pierce years old.

Going dry for Lent, so I'm getting a Mardi Gras cocktail in a new to me bar. Last time I was here they had a different name...

It’s $20k on a million! If you make A MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR and aren’t dropping twenty big ones at a charity gala a couple times a year just as an excuse to dress up and hang out, you should get the fuck out of New York City.

IT'S ALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE

The conspiracy theory that what Bondi is really burying is an Epstein snuff video is ironic, considering Hegseth and Noem are pumping out snuff videos for the pleasure of their sick boss.
