One family is about to control CBS, CNN, HBO, and TikTok. They’ll buy Warner Brothers with $24 billion from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi. To win over Trump, they canceled Colbert, blocked a 60 Minutes CECOT investigation, and blocked Talarico. Much more will follow. Block this rotten deal.

Pro Trump, Pro Netanyahu fanatics Larry and David Ellison will most likely now control Paramount, CBS, CNN, HBO, Warner Bros, and TikTok

OH NO THEY'RE GONNA DESTROY CNN You mean the "news" network that integrated an online political gambling site into their programs and turned every segment into Crossfire? Oh fuck. How will we ever recover

there's a reason Black Americans served in every war since the Civil War, why feminists fought for woman to be allowed to serve as early as WWI and why gays organized against DADT because who a country allows or doesn't to serve and fight for it is who it thinks is or isn't "really" a citizen

I feel bad for everyone who says "I asked ChatGPT for advice" instead of just adding "reddit" to whatever what was their search term or topic

Putting aside the whole "promoting a Nazi" thing why is Platner always acting like someone else sent him to serve in Iraq. Dude. You volunteered. There was already two wars happening. Your parents didn't want you to. You had money for college. That was your choice. You gotta own that.

Anyway the risk profile for Platner isn’t Fetterman, it’s Gabbard

Columbia student detained today is a day-in-the-life influencer with 100K followers. Her stories right now go from her studying for a Genetics exam in a nicely edited "ten hour study with me at Columbia" video, to a photo of her knees with the caption "dhs illegally arrested me please help"

what the fuck this really seems like another case of them going after someone prominent to send a “nobody is safe” message and what’s actually going to happen is continuing to polarize everyone but the worst of the worst against them because how the fuck is this kid a threat to anything

I first wrote about ICE's use of ruses and misrepresentations — which are explicitly recommended in their training manuals — almost eight years ago. This sounds like a particularly bold implementation but this has been part of their toolkit for a long time

Great pull from the Epstein files. FBI tried to figure out who on 4chan had scooped all news outlets on Epstein's death, but the trail went cold when they couldn't find who had that IP address.

Everyone should read.

ICE is struggling to keep pace with vetting new hires during its historic recruitment push, so it's hiring officers before completing standard checks. The agency fired five people after belatedly finding that they had outstanding warrants for their arrest. www.reuters.com/world/ice-st...

donald trump and his cabinet are using the power of the government to cover up allegations he raped a child

worth reading the whole story for all the awful details - including literal bounties for other people to rat out trans people using the “wrong” bathroom

Hello! I’m the reporter who has been tracking citizens detained by immigration agents. And last night, I noticed something: A lot of them were at the State of the Union, including a number of whom I’ve written about. Their stories should be known:

She fucking nailed it. 😆

it’s legitimately a huge fucking scandal that the FBI director has fucked up at least two major investigations because he uses the FBI’s planes as private planes and has actively failed to even bother with one of the highest profile abductions since the lindburgh baby

what are his picks?

To do this, anti-trans lawmakers in Kansas moved fast to change the law, overrode the governor’s veto, and pushed for the legal changes to go into effect nearly immediately. That kind of power—to void gender on official documents, to compel gender conformity—is terrifying and it will not stop here.

it's 2016: north carolina introduces a bill to ban trans people from using bathrooms safely. there's a national outcry; companies withdraw business up to and including the NCAA cancelling a publicized game. the bill fails. it's 2026: kansas passes a law nullifying trans people's licenses. crickets.

It bothers me how nobody seems to understand that this, trans people getting booted out of the military without their contractually obligated benefits, etc. is ultimately about if the promises of the government are worth a goddamn thing as long as the Republican Party exists.

Thinking about the avalanche of negative commentary about Hillary saying some Trump supporters were deplorable.

thinking about all the anti-immigrant people who love this anti-immigrant regime and have adopted kids from other countries

“Adopted from Iran at age two, she takes great pride in her quintessential American upbringing… But in the eyes of the U.S. government…she's an immigrant who overstayed her visa… Earlier this month, she received a letter from the Department of Homeland Security saying removal proceedings have begun”

The President continues to threaten to jail me. My job is to stand up for the people of Illinois and stand in the way of him harming them.

Our federal government killed a disabled genocide survivor and is covering up for a child rapist. And that is just today’s news. It is just unconscionable to be treating this as normal or acceptable in any way. www.investigativepost.org/2026/02/25/b...

Some of you like dogs, in which case you may appreciate that guide dogs of Team GB for the Paralympics get official photos

do I know anyone on here who worked as an emergency snow shoveler this week, or during January's storm? know anyone who did? would love to hear from you: [email protected] or DM (or reply)

A child just told me something was AI that wasn’t AI and I asked “does AI just mean bad?” and he went “yeahhhhhhh” so there you have it.

Hilary Knight got the question re: that phone call and the laughter at the Torrent presser. Her answer:

This is crazy behavior, even for a Catholic hospital

Looks like the post is now gone (good) but the account has not in any way acknowledged that they screwed up (bad)

Heads up folks: @thetnholler.bsky.social posted an AI-generated video this morning that was a deepfake of the captain of the U.S. women’s hockey team, and they seem to be promoting it as if it’s a real video. So watch out for that and don’t spread fakes.

BREAKING on MS NOW: The FBI has fired at least 7 FBI agents and support staff as a result of their role in Trump's classified documents. The people fired are said to have participated in some way in pulling phone records of Patel and Susie Wiles during that investigation.

Note: Susie Wiles has known they pulled her phone records since 2023. Kash probably learned in 2022. This has been PUBLIC since 2023, bc if Jack Smith learned precisely how Wiles was managing legal representation, he had her phone and Signal records. This is just theater bc Kash is in trouble.

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

An enraging, enraging case.

He spoke only Rohingya. He came to Buffalo in 2024. The Biden administration was resettling Rohingya people then. (Unclear when he arrived in U.S.) Rohingya are stateless refugees, most with no schooling and, in Bangladesh, barred from language learning. Left outside in a Buffalo winter. To die.

This man, a blind, non English speaking refugee who escaped the Rohynga Genocide, died because CBP agents thought it would be cute and funny to drop him off at a random donut shop five miles from his home in the middle of a Buffalo winter without informing his family.

The details are even worse than the headline manages to convey. This horrific. The cruelty and inhumanity shown is unconscionable. There’s no reason this man should have been arrested in the first place, much less detained, and especially not abandoned in a manner that presumably caused his death.

This stunt where ICE releases people far from home with no proper clothing and no way home should be treated as attempted homicide. In this case, actual homicide. These cases are not accidental or based on misunderstandings. They are deliberate attempts to inflict bodily harm.

so fun fact: recently during the fraud investigations being redone by this season’s feds, MN’s rate of medicaid/medicare fraud was well below the national average nationally, it’s ≈ 6% each year; in minnesota it’s like ≈ 2.5% we know this is vindictive at this point

I'm heading to the Senate floor in a few moments to lay out the detailed story of ICE abuse - teargassing schools, murdering American citizens with impunity, disappearing legal immigrants. And why we should not fund ICE until they stop terrorizing our communities.

Axios CEO Jim VandeHei leaves no doubt who he is rooting for. This is not "news" - this is a press release. www.axios.com/newsletters/... PS: Jim (along with all the right-wing leaning corporate media elites) just may look beyond stupid when the numbers come in this November.

My new video with Mayor Mamdani just dropped 📼 Our partnership has shown that politics doesn’t have to be sour or ego-driven. It can be a team sport in pursuit of values and our hopes. ⬇️
