You won’t regret being kind. Even if no one notices. Even if it’s hard. You’ll still know you did the right thing.

This is Amalia. She spiked a fever of 104 in ICE lock up, a lawsuit says. Her oxygen levels dropped to 50% Officers stood watch during her 10-day emergency hospital stay. When she was well enough to leave, doctors said Amalia should go home. Instead, ICE put her and her mom back in detention.

Wait, you mean while Trump was bitching about NATO allies needing to pay more on defense, we were behind on payments to the United Nations? www.reuters.com/business/fin...

Happy #SuperbOwl Sunday! 🪶

Happy Superb Owl day to all who celebrate.

Y'all, we did it. 💕 This crew of chaotic nerds has sent half a million whistles to people requesting them, for free. With your help! Need whistles? linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

Ossoff: "You're seeing what I'm seeing, right? The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."

All-American Halftime, Puerto Rico front and center. 🇵🇷 Bad Bunny taking the Super Bowl stage while the same folks whining “I don’t understand Spanish” watch the world dance anyway. Culture wins. Fear loses. See you at halftime. I’ll be dancing 💃 #BadBunnyBowl

An observation I've been thinking about: Around 2020, we were told that US political & corporate elites had been gripped by "wokeness" & thus become obsessed with climate change & diversity. This wokeness was alleged to be so severe & monomaniacal that it threatened the entire culture & economy.

SEN. OSSOFF: “.. why are roving gangs of masked men — who look like they couldn’t pass the Army physical exam — dressed up like pretend Delta Force operators, on our streets, demanding papers, dragging people from their cars, and shooting people to death?” @acyn.bsky.social

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

While making an arrest or conducting a search, ICE MUST present either a signed, judicial warrant to enter private property, or an admin. warrant from the government agency authorizing an arrest or seizure. Spread the word!

This is extremely offensive and inappropriate. I don’t care how popular it is in bars, dwarf-tossing is degrading and NOT OKAY. lasvegassun.com/news/2026/fe...

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Making JD Vance getting booed at the Olympics my ringtone.

Go to, sir, you were beaten in Italy

Happy Friday!😍🩷I’m hoping to clear these bandages for my Kindergartners! We’re running out and these would save them a trip to the nurse! Any help or share is greatly appreciated🫶 #clearthelist #title1 #kinder www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

Devastated to see what’s happening at a place that I loved because it was the writing home of so many people I loved. what a gutting week

I teach 1st grade at a title one school. I have a few students in my classroom who celebrate Ramadan. I would love to celebrate it with them as well as teach my other students about it. I learned chocolate coins are a nice treat for Eid. Any help is truly appreciated 🫶🏻 www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

#StressBreak One of the places they roam is around Kibber village in Himachal Pradesh state's Spiti Valley, a cold desert along the Himalayan belt. Here, snow leopards are often called the "ghosts of the mountains", slipping silently across rocky slopes and rarely revealing themselves.

I hope you have a nice night. I hope you look at the stars with wonder. I hope you're never lost in the catacombs without a lantern. I hope you're always able to find room for one more book on your bookshelves. I hope you feel at home in the forest, because you're always welcome there.

Like most Americans who watch Fox News, I am terrified about this weekend’s Super Bowl halftime show featuring Bad Bunny, and I’m outraged the NFL would expose my family and me to the dangers of the Spanish language. It's Kid Rock for me. My VERY SERIOUS column: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Bessent's really just another curdled MAGA degenerate awash in the same bootlick toadyism they all feed off ... remorse over armed degenerate hordes storming the democratic citadel of the nation's liberties. think of that level of trash oblivion.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!

We're all trying to get by, in our own way. And if your way involves books, strong tea, and secret meetings with the old gods in the mossy end of the forest, so much the better.

Lifer pie! My first snowy owl! 🪶

If you have a network with a decently large following, please consider adopting a Minneapolis family to pay their rent this month. This is being done in a decentralized fashion because a lot of the groups getting $ are having their Venmo frozen and it's hard to send mutual aid.

in a democratic republic (and really in all times and places) the slavish hunger to be in the thrall of a strongman or a king is the ultimate moral degeneracy.

The path teaches if you let it. #SlowDown #NatureAsTeacher #FindYourRhythm

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

We at the @postguild.bsky.social are raising money for the hundreds of journalists the Post just laid off. This goes to the people who are hurting, not the Post. Or if you'd rather, go subscribe to an independent journalist. Support is hugely appreciated. www.gofundme.com/f/standing-t...

Please consider boosting this even if you're not in California. This legislation would help the environment and working families. It's called the Plug Into the Sun Act & "is a simple way to make electricity more affordable for both renters and homeowners for all types of homes."

What should alarm us about the Epstein files isn’t just the appalling details, which are horrific and criminal. It’s that here is a growing sense that there is small number of elite who see themselves as above the law.

DOJ solving a shortage of competent attorneys by tapping non-competent true believers and flinging them around the country to wherever ICE is terrorizing this week is not going to be welcomed by lower court judges who expect gov attorneys to be familiar with the rules of that particular district

Heh

the villains in neuromancer being a family of gross inbred rich weirdos who want to live forever in space feels a little too on the nose

All this Epstein stuff got me feelin insane over here

'Winter is here and every breath is measured, every day another test of survival. We are not asking for a miracle. We ask only for enough food, for milk, for something besides hunger to greet our children in this wicked world.'

If the Republicans have lost the libertarians on this (CATO is historically a libertarian think tank. Charles Koch, yo), then you’ve lost your narrative completely.

One by one, Europeans mentioned in the Epstein files who still hold political office are beginning to resign or are being forced out of office. Meanwhile, ruled by an administration almost entirely made up of Epstein associates, the US carries on as if nothing really happened.
