"As the journalists interacted with the migrants, uniformed police barged in and detained the lawyer and four journalists. Police confiscated their cameras, laptops and phones..." www.wsj.com/world/africa...

Kristi Noem is an absolute disgrace and we aren’t going to let up until Congress impeaches her. Remind your representatives who they work for:

Nick Shirley: “30 voters registered at a California UPS store!” 🤔 Paul Mitchell: um, people live above it. Look up, bro. 🙃 As usual this dude’s *reporting* is full of holes

If MAGA were proud of their conservative ideas they'd lift them high in the crisp light of Spring and let America see what they have on offer. They won't. They know their brand is dark and criminal so they have to game the system, keeping people away from the polls. Let's take America back.

Seems to me if a president illegally taxes the American people , that should be an impeachable offense offense ! Cost us $1300 to $1700 in the last year . And no plans to return it ..

Pretty amazing that comms person at FBI called my @ms.now colleague @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social a liar and demand a correction only for Kash to post a photo from the locker room

Can we just stop with making this a partisan issue? Every pedophile who raped and/or assaulted underage girls needs to be punished. Regardless of party or politics I’d specify the punishment but I’d likely get banned

This seems important www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Many, many years ago, before I enlisted in the army, I was advised to read the Constitution. To REALLY read it. ‘If you’re going to swear to defend it, if the possibility is there to lose your life defending it, you should know what it says.’ More people should have received this advice.

Almost 250 years after we broke with George III, the question must now be faced: Are we a monarchy or a nation of laws? [Cartoon by Bill Bramhall]

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...

A tariff “refund” mostly goes to whoever wrote the tariff check: the importer of record. That’s not the same person who paid more at the register. So refunds -- if they're offered -- might sound like consumer relief, but in reality, they're corporate windfalls.

Lawyers for Ghislaine Maxwell are fighting the requested release of 90,000 pages related to her and Jeffrey Epstein, saying the Transparency Act used to force the public release of millions of documents is unconstitutional. Now we definitely have to see them..

ROGAN: “It’s overwhelming me. Too much fucking madness. We’re about to go to war with Iran. What are these files? How far does this go? What is happening?” Wait til joe rogan finds out he helped get Trump elected 🤷🏼

The call has been made! NYC Public Schools will have a full snow day tomorrow.

They should each wear a t-shirt with a picture of trump with Epstein on it

Dude got a two-day suspension. No criminal charges filed. (www.lakemchenryscanner.com/2026/02/20/s...)

It's so cool that the fbi is basically the make a wish foundation for one podcaster

yeah like, this is very much a core reason why many people are particularly hostile to LLMs who might have otherwise not been

I’m sure Alphabet will… never mind.

He spoke out in support of pride, too. Excellent young man.

Democrats continue to hold the line after making it clear they would not support any DHS funding bill without restrictions on ICE. We must urge Democrats to keep going to get ICE Out For Good, and pressure Republicans to agree to a DHS funding bill that protects our communities and civil rights.

my question: how do you juggle wanting to be everywhere and connect with everyone vs continuing to post on X, which as recently as this week has been proven to be cooking peoples brains due to the owner algorithmically thwarting progressive messaging? do you feel you just have no choice but to stay?

I was encouraged by how strongly the sentiment was shared that the right must be defeated. There are real and justified grievances, not to be brushed aside. But the shared sentiment was real. I did not get the same punitive vibe that some have in the US about wanting the right to win out of spite

In the midst of the Epstein files revelations, this is the guy who Trump's defense secretary invites in to the Pentagon for an official U.S. government-endorsed religious service: (warning that story contains details of child sexual abuse and rape) www.vice.com/en/article/i...

This means I literally could not teach my subject (African politics) at the institution at which I earned my PhD.

Happily living in our democratic country, Canada - called communist by trump and his ilk. Here we look after our 'troubled people'. We could do better of course, but they're not left to starve or to freeze as in the states.

There is no proof they were vaccines. The boy was told they were vaccines, or believed they were. Maybe these bible-thumpers have a plan to spread disease among immigrant groups.

The apocalypse is not something which is coming. The apocalypse has arrived in major portions of the planet and it’s only because we live within a bubble of incredible privilege and social insulation that we still have the luxury of anticipating the apocalypse. -Terence McKenna

Since I can’t sleep, here’s another hot take: The world would be a better place if everyone‘s science literacy was much better. There should be more emphasis on teaching basic science at all levels in school. Science isn’t just something nerds do, it’s the foundation of the modern world.

"The Social Circle city manager was contacted by ICE... “They asked me to turn on the water,” he said of a 1m sq ft warehouse nearby that the government plans to use for locking up as many as 10,000 detainees. “I told them I’m not going to do it,” he said... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Hot take: We should support the Washington Post. It’s not a money making venture for Bezos and it might disappear. There are excellent journalists there doing exceptional work, & we need them to continue. Ignore the opinion page, like we’ve done with the WSJ (whose journalists are also world class).

Ridiculous the Democratic Party did NOT create this mess. We may have contributed in many ways but the blame for this rests with the GOP

Holy shit, the verbal gymnastics used to avoid saying that a woman ran over and killed a three year old girl with her car.

This can't be fixed by training to Federal standards – even though that is something for which I advocate. This is moral evil, deliberately chosen by those on the front line and, those in the institution seeking this kind of depraved person as the ideal candidate.

This was more or less what the bogs 2000 mules allegations were.

Absolutely wild. WSJ reporting that some OpenAI staffers thought the Tumbler Ridge shooter's use of ChatGPT raised the potential of real world violence but leadership decided not to alert RCMP. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

Fuck cancer!

So the killers are released into the wild, months go by and we can’t believe a word of the official account. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/20/u...

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics. "It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

On February 19, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed E.O. 9066, authorizing the forced relocation & incarceration of more than 125,000 Japanese Americans, solely because of their heritage.

It's almost like we should make vaccines mandatory rather than letting a bunch of idiots with oppositional defiant disorder "do their own research"
