So in addition to hosting ICE, Hilton’s newspaper of choice…Epoch Times??!!! Jesus never thought I’d be nostalgic for USA Today

Toyen, 'The dangerous hour' (1942; and 2026?)

People think I’m joking but turkeys run the streets like gangsters. Last year, they broke a mailman’s hip!

A friend had to work overnight recently because the llm used by the consultants his managers had hired to do sales analytics for rhe year had come back and told them to discontinue their most popular shoes in middle of hiking season because it randomly hallucinated a better selling shoe.

Happening now on 50th Street in Minneapolis. Lined up over a ten block stretch.

There's a few likely consequences of having free buses...and they will probably surprise you! Really happy to be able to share this perspective today in the New York Times. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/o...

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading. Now we’ve got mumps rolling up. Expect more. This is just the beginning of RFK Jr.’s successful infectious disease reintroduction plan.

Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life & you will call it fate. You deserve to heal & be healed.

Ofelia Torres, the teenage Chicago Public Schools student whose fight against cancer while her father was detained by ICE came to represent the federal government's overreach during Operation Midway Blitz, has died. Brave young woman. I will never forget her. RIP.

When I taught at LSU, I got some gasps when I said plantation weddings were like getting married at a Nazi concentration camp, and I got nods from a lot of other students who understood it. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

tl;dr: CBP fired a new weapon into domestic airspace that the FAA had previously warned posed grave risk to human life. It did so without warning to FAA and without restricting airspace. FAA restricted airspace in response. White House overruled them. The target turned out to be a party balloon.

still obsessed with this one photographer: “that’s it sir, just swing your leg over the credenza. beautiful, beautiful”

Some folks have forgotten things how bad things were in Downtown #Greensboro in 1992. I remember when the GPD was routed and a patrol car was set on fire by outside agitators. www.yesweekly.com/news/hellrai... @superamanda.bsky.social @slipkid24.bsky.social @kellylink.bsky.social

you're never gonna guess whose fault the times says it is

“… Carl has also criticized Jewish people for wanting to “relitigate” the Holocaust, while claiming that Jews are “overrepresented” in the ranks of American billionaires. In a normal and healthy political environment, these revelations would have led the WH to pull the nomination.

Nothing has brought this home for me like debating the electoral college online over the last decade. There's literally no contemporary justification for the EC that makes any sense that isn't "the cities and the people who live in them shouldn't be given the keys to the presidency."

Nothing about our current moment is comprehensible without understanding that: 1. Until 1965, white men decided who was president. 2. for the next four decades, every president elected was either a Republican or a white male Southerner. 3. Barack Obama was the first exception to the above.

They keep changing tactics but keep kidnapping my neighbors. Every time they claim they’re drawing down things get a little worse.

It’s very wild we still have people dismissing Black people being pushed out of the workplace as a distraction from “working class”/“kitchen table” issues…

5/ “[A]s many as 69M women who have taken their spouse’s name don’t have a birth certificate that matches their legal name. ‘The legislation does not mention the potential option for these Americans to present…a marriage certificate in combination w/ a birth certificate to prove their citizenship’…”

This is probably ok

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon. Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

Science journalism about vaccines and disease in 2026 in the US demands so much ethical reflection, forethought and care: it’s not the time or place for you to be playing with genre—the stakes are too high.

hello minnesota and beyond! thank you for your kind messages. it is very weird to be the news when you cover the news. i love this beautiful state and journalism, and i am hopeful for better days. but we will be forever changed bc of the last two months.

North Carolina lawmakers have voted to remove all college campus voting sites. Specifically at the largest HBCU in the US NC A&T. They now have to walk 30 minutes to their nearest polling place. Students are protesting this - pls share and support. www.tiktok.com/t/ZThx29BJ9/

Roses are red Kudzu’s ill-mannered When it finally happens We’re all getting hammered

For many, Gaza is yesterday’s news. For us, it is still today’s reality. Don’t forget us.

This is terrible misery—we are freezing. My child’s arm was broken when the tent collapsed, and with mitral valve prolapse I developed shoulder tendon inflammation from the cold. I urgently need 200€ for treatment and blankets for my 5 kids Vetted @mommunism.bsky.social chuffed.org/project/1574...

Omg you guys didn’t have to get me anything for a Valentine’s Day! but that’s so sweet, I love it 🥰

When we talk about the ~ozempic discourse~ it's easy to think about that as a kind of broad social or marketing pressure that's applied equally to everyone with a body. It's worth noting that it shows up in more acute & targeted ways, too. I'm getting more emails like this one than I have in years.

hello and welcome to the political genius exam. here is question one. which is a more compelling message: - the president is sending armies to occupy cities and kidnap and kill people and your town could be next - a meal at the cheesecake factory that previously cost $100 now costs $104.9

German film festival says filmmakers should quietly accept the structural and systemic destruction of humans. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/2/...

Here's an example of the reaction I'm describing here, and I appreciate something this particular poster makes clear: They neither understand nor respect boundaries. There's no policing happening here, just my own decisions about who I will have a conversation with.

call me a carceral urbanist or whatever but i think that if you murder an entire family with your SUV, at the very least, you should never be allowed to drive again

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

The Women’s Institute was pressured to exclude trans women by the threat of litigation brought and paid for by JKR’s legal fund. So now the newly trans-hostile WI groups are haemorrhaging members and many groups are folding, closing opportunities for all women. Well done JK and the GCs, eh?

Right now I have whistles designed by a man in Italy printing on a plate given to me by someone from Canada, in a filament donated from the UK, and I'm sending them to a union who wants to protect immigrants. Just feels like an incredible team effort. 💖
