At a time when Black history is being removed from schools, museums, and parks, Black journalists are fighting to tell a more inclusive American story. From our colleagues at @revealnews.org:

Where a lot of pink slime comes from ...

these people treat being called racist like it is a slur, and treat slurs like they're mere differences of opinion

As the guy who wrote the book on zoning abolition, I'd like to go on record as saying: if you can use zoning to stop the concentration camps, fucking go for it.

OpenAI is a menace. Two recent stories make that clearer than ever. One day you have Sam Altman denigrating humanity to defend AI. The next, WSJ reveals OpenAI could have alerted Canadian police of a potential mass shooter, but refused pressure from employees. That person went on to kill 8 people.

The success of the left always hinges on a random poster, but the success of the right is never tied to all the pedophiles and degenerate Nazis ruining every online space

My Tamagotchi likes to do tiny flower arrangements in my desk drawer.

the AI evangelists are not okay

I’m seeing some criticism of the way this is being framed as “training,”and I think that gets it backwards. Training is one of the languages that an institution speaks to itself. It’s another way of saying “transmission of institutional norms.”

my kink is videos showcasing how big a fail cybertrucks are

Live your life in such a way that Flava Flav wants to put actual money and effort into celebrating you. Oddly inspiring to me! 😂

The trajectory of the men’s hockey team over a blistering 12 hours

BREAKING Former ICE agent: On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant.

Formal invitation to the hockey team sent,,, if any people with connections to the hockey team wanna have them email my team my bio. I’m for real. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

20 members of Congress are finally speaking out for Rodney Taylor, a disabled double amputee who’s now spent more than a year in an ICE camp. He was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when they detained him. He’s been denied his prosthetics, placed in solitary & his health is declining:

This is why Hegseth put a professional makeup studio in the pentagon. A real “man” would NEVER go in public with such mismatched foundation!

Quietly, the Trump administration is now ending even the life-saving aid that they had promised would be preserved Reporting from @hana-kiros.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/health/2026/...

Live Nation paid ZERO federal income tax last year largely due to Trump's tax cuts, despite reporting $145M in profits. It's also on the verge of scoring a sweetheart deal from Trump's DOJ to end a major antitrust investigation. Trump works on behalf of the most powerful corporations. Not you.

NEW: Meta’s director of AI safety, supposedly the person at the company who is working to make sure that powerful AI tools don’t go rogue and act against human interests, had to scramble to stop an AI agent from deleting her inbox against her wishes...

So far, the coolest difference between a blizzard and a winter storm is the fun shapes the snow makes when it’s blown around. Behold, mother nature’s cuter side: Snow Globes on Fence.

And "summarizing" emails from coworkers is very alarming to me, especially if they're writing emails with LLMs. One person uses a lossy amplifier to expand their thoughts into an email, the other person uses a lossy filter to compress them back

As someone who was, I think, an effective note-taker in college, this discourse about LLM note-takers is alarming. For me, the act of *taking* notes is the important part. If I had thrown the notes away immediately after a lecture or reading a chapter I'd still have gotten 80% of the value.

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses? Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards My new column on the camps www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

You will be shocked to learn that Schanck was also the “chief learning officer” of Trump University.

Is this a young people thing or a manosphere thing? Because either way I HATE IT. This isn’t just a different language, it’s a different fucking alphabet.

I’ve written about this multiple times, but MOST countries aren’t prepared for this kind of war. I don’t think folks understand how much combat has evolved during the Russo-Ukrainian war. It’s unrecognizable from other modern conflicts. www.thetimes.com/business/com...

This from the lawyer who successfully argued the tariff case before SCOTUS, casts huge doubt over the applicability of the statute the @POTUS is relying on to slap down a new 15 percent global tariff.

JD Vance personally invited Pope Leo to the U.S. 250th celebration on the 4th of July. Today the Vatican announced Leo will be spending the day with migrants instead.

A group of Haitians around the country had filed a lawsuit to block the administration from ending Haiti’s TPS, and the judge was expected to weigh in any day. The bomb threats began anew less than a week later.

"Prosecutors sought to have his case dismissed without prejudice, allowing them to later re-charge him. But the judge rejected that request, citing the defendant’s arguments that “future prosecution may be politically motivated” – a claim that, the judge noted, the government had not contested."

Fuck Russia. Slava Ukraini!

Now THAT's a headline. "The U.S. spent $30 billion to ditch textbooks for laptops and tablets: The result is the first generation less cognitively capable than their parents" fortune.com/2026/02/21/l...

I’d suggest one of the issues here is that AI implementation has not been an organic, bottom-up process. Since 2022, its boosters have been tech titans and media folks who got waaaaay ahead of the demand for this technology and began imposing the features and infrastructure on an unconvinced public.

It’s outrageous that ICE and CBP have allowed people to die in their custody and are claiming they “don’t have any money for food” at detention facilities. Meanwhile, Republicans gave these private for-profit facilities BILLIONS in their Big Bad Betrayal Bill.

Fucking impeachable.

People glaze over the whole “Peter Thiel and his friends literally believe poor people should be turned into biodiesel” thing WAY too often.

SAM ALTMAN: “People talk about how much energy it takes to train an AI model … But it also takes a lot of energy to train a human. It takes like 20 years of life and all of the food you eat during that time before you get smart.”

They named the storm Hernando! 🌨️ Get ABBA outta my head before the snow melts challenge.

In the IEEPA case, the Court did through law what Congress should have done through politics. In that respect, judicial intervention—no matter how appropriate or defensible—abets continued congressional abdication. "The Court will save us," is the last constitutional refuge of partisan scoundrels.

this image usually gets shared to make a point about freelance or agency client work but it's also applicable to why educators are underpaid, we're all in the bottom half of this chart 😂

INBOX: the police chief of Quakertown, Pa., led a group of plainclothes officers to disrupt a peaceful high school student sidewalk protest yesterday. They threw an underage girl to the ground, choked her, and disconnected all calls to the detention center where she and others are currently held.

A strong minority across Europe doesn’t regard the far right as a threat to democracy. In fact, one in five Europeans believe that in certain cases a dictatorship is preferable to democracy, according to a survey shared with POLITICO. www.politico.eu/article/one-...

In addition to being absolutely brilliant, amazing & charming in her own right, we all know she was raised by a single dad w/4 siblings and that he came to the US bc of persecution bc of his participation in the ‘89 Tiananmen democracy uprising, right?

Happy heavenly birthday to the great John Lewis!! A lot of us are down here getting in good trouble, hoping we're making you proud.

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOO

The US Institute of Peace budget was ~$35m and we’re were asked 3x a week why we deserved it.

Any time a public official leaves X we should celebrate it. Give AG Campbell a follow.
