This article has some great ideas. Reposting so that more people will see it. Thanks for sharing, @mjdavis1988.bsky.social.

I genuinely don't understood how America took the emoluments clause -- the common-sense bar on a president using his powers to line his own pockets, a law children can understand -- and just said, nah, that doesn't apply for our Very Special Boy.

If you weaponize the DOJ to intimidate elected officials, that’s not “politics.” It’s a federal crime. Retaliatory investigations violate civil‑rights and obstruction laws. Anyone turning law enforcement into a threat is advertising their own liability.

ICYMI: In a late night filing, DOJ argues the federal courts cannot force them to comply with the law requiring release of all the Epstein files.

Ukraine’s Energy Minister Shmyhal: There is not a single intact power plant left in Ukraine.

An interesting idea. Many blue states, including our largest cities, could form a land mass contiguous with Canada. If the Canadians were willing, the blue U.S. states could become part of Canada. Of course, people in land-locked blue states and progressives in red states might want to

Breaking: Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey are being investigated by the Trump DOJ for allegedly obstructing law enforcement activities, two U.S. officials told WCCO. It's unclear how Walz and Frey allegedly obstructed law enforcement or what they were allegedly obstructing.

He’s Putin’s useful idiot.

and executions of US residents, including citizens, will continue at an accelerated pace

Guess who cut the funds.

Ah, THIS Is Why Tesla “Full Self Driving” Sales End On February 14 “How about: February 14 is the deadline California imposed on Tesla to stop selling FSD since it isn’t FSD.” Ahhhhh… that explains it. The ruling was on December 16, 2025. February 14, 2026, is 60 days after that. Coincidence? /1

Not "why was the tear gas in the toddler's neighborhood" but "why was the toddler in the tear gas's neighborhood"

Terribly uncanny how relevant this is to today.

Awesome

ICE and Border Patrol agents must be reined in. Here is one thing we can do right now. Please read and share. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/americas-gestapo

I’m impressed by how quickly people are becoming aware of the risks of AI, particularly the potential environmental consequences of data centers. We need to continue to spread awareness because large companies are adopting AI aggressively.

A much-needed dose of reality. Our democracy is gone. We need to acknowledge that we live in a dictatorship. At the same time, we need to remain hopeful and be prepared to do what it takes to restore our democracy. substack.com/@alluringnyc...

LOL, I’ll bet he did.

It’s easy to talk like a Minnesotan. “Yah, you betcha. Didya bring your tater tot hotdish and jello salad to the church potluck? It’s windy and 30 below zero, but it could be worse.”

It’s like buying a used bowling trophy at Goodwill.

If they’re looking for intelligence, the U.S. is the wrong place to go, but if they want stupidity, we have MAGA.

Wait a sec... The gratitous capitalisation The excessive and nauseating platitudes The exact same blue as the curtains The gawdy gold frame to match his tasteless office She just handed over the medal and his staff created this pile of tack didn't they?

A great way to relieve the stress of the Trump era.

Maybe they should wear N95 masks instead of gaiters.

I already reposted this one a while back, but I love it. 😂

The Nobel Committee should revoke her Nobel Peace Prize. They have to be embarrassed that she gave it to Trump.

It’s been reported locally, but I’m not sure how much national notice this has gotten. As part of this invasion by shithead goons, they are putting ICE agents in jetbridges and other parts of the airport at Minneapolis-Saint Paul. If you are flying Delta via MSP, you are putting yourself at risk.

🎯🎯

I’ll mark my calendar. This could be good.

OMG. I wonder whether they tipped them before they arrested them.

Lewiston, Maine: “One property manager whose tenants are almost exclusively African immigrants showed a reporter a form being passed around so undocumented parents could designate temporary guardians for their children in the event of their arrest.”

Especially when you have an unstable president in charge.

My apartment in Kharkiv has no heating, and part of the city also has no power due to a russian attack on our infrastructure today. The temperature outside is -12°C.

NOEM: “Every single action that our ICE officers take is according to the law and following protocols that we have used for years.” www.huffpost.com/entry/kristi...

They’re also slipping on the ice and accidentally setting off their weapons.

Blow that first picture up and take a good look at the victim's expression. This is horrifying.

'Insanity': Trump's niece tears into RFK Jr.'s 'disturbing fixation'

Exactly

BREAKING: After Donald Trump said Ukraine was the barrier to peace, President Zelenskyy just released this incredible rebuke. Make sure every American sees this and know Russia is to blame for the war.
