Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

Habeas cases filed by immigrants claiming their detention is illegal have taken off to levels we have never seen before. Just look at that chart. www.propublica.org/article/habe...

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Cannot believe that I got to profile an extraordinary filmmaker, who happens to be the mother of NYC’s new mayor, and think about intersections of art and politics, and how familial love might produce a buffer against the corrosive politics and cynicism of our time. My story about Mira Nair:

Honestly I feel like a civic-minded newspaper with the resources should have a counter showing how much money Trump has gained from the presidency, that goes to regularly.

Navarro has repeatedly (and falsely) claimed that "illegals" were taking the jobs of Americans, including in this very interview. If that's the case, then why is he now warning that job growth will slow amidst mass deportations? Shouldn't this be boom times for native-born workers?

"A modern-day concentration camp ... People have been killed by the staff here." Irish citizen Seamus Culleton has been in ICE detention since September, despite having a valid work permit and his own business in the US.

have never seen popular public opinion shift so fast about a surveillance product than the fallout from ring's super bowl "search party" ad. they'll teach this in advertising courses one day. chef's kiss baby www.404media.co/with-ring-am...

I have so many stories I could share about this. I'm sure everyone does. newrepublic.com/article/2063...

lol the whole thing was political.

Is there some sort of award for perfectly missing the point?

I had a dream that scientists figured out that every few billion years the earth is destroyed by a giant pod of orcas going rogue and we were due for one this year and in my dream I said, "Oh no, we'll never see how Heated Rivalry ends."

This is an important excerpt from @gregsargent.bsky.social’s piece. More people still support Trump and ICE than I would like, but it’s true that Trump and co assumed the manosphere would be with them unanimously. And that’s not the case. newrepublic.com/article/2062...

Who won the puppy bowl?

Similarly I was just like, Italy just hosted the Olympics why is it doing it again? And it turns out it was 20 years ago.

“We’re going to make you feel bad about your work” got that covered by breakfast every day, thanks

The point of the AI project is to provoke despair in creative people. They haven’t produced profits or anything anyone wants, just a steady stream of articles about how us artistic types can’t do the thing we’re already doing, making art. Jokes on them, we’re even better at despair than they are.

If you are in charge of a large organization of any kind that cuts jobs, but particularly one that employs journalists, part of what you get paid so much money for is looking angry and disappointed people in the eye while they yell at you. If you don’t want to do that, don’t be the big boss.

NEW: A baby held in immigration detention became so sick, she had to be rushed to a hospital in severe respiratory distress. “She was at the brink of dying,” a lawyer told me. But the girl didn’t go home after her 10-day hospital stay; instead, ICE put her and her mother back in lock up at Dilley.

Ossoff: “This is the Epstein class... Trump is literally closing rural hospitals to cut taxes for George Soros...” I would strongly encourage Democrats to continue with this rhetorical strategy. It really subverts the entire worldview of the MAGA right.

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

“When less than 1% of farm employers are investigated every year, they can act with impunity, knowing that there is a very low likelihood that they will ever be investigated,” one expert said.

Before The Washington Post layoffs came down, a group of wealthy D.C. locals approached CEO Will Lewis with a proposal. @passantino.bsky.social has the details in his Saturday @status.news column: www.status.news/p/washington...

IMPORTANT OLYMPIC NEWS: THE POLISH FIGURE SKATING TEAM HAS A PLUSH PIEROGI

it’s a moral abomination that SCOTUS decided in Rucho that partisan gerrymandering is nonjusticiable. but if it’s a question for state legislatures, well, you’ll never guess what L. Louise Lucas has on her business card

on the balance i think partisan gerrymandering is bad but the only way it ends is if democrats weaponize it against republicans everywhere they can. wiping out republican lawmakers in blue states might bring the GOP to the table to end the practice.

If I was a Democratic politician I would consider that the thousands of brave patriots in this city are America’s most visible and hardened cohort of anti-Trump resisters, and if you tell them you’re going to stand with ICE, they will never care about anything else you ever do again

It’s pretty crazy that the president and his family are just stealing billions and billions of dollars directly from taxpayers and the political media is like “It’s Trump so this isn’t a big deal, probably”

Happy Caturday from Lucky, who is trying to eat my plants again.

A small landlord is a person who rents out their basement apartment in their house. A person who owns a building is just a landlord-landlord.

What’s great about JD Vance is that unlike Miller, he doesn’t *want* to be hated. You can tell it eats at him that he is the object of universal scorn—that yet again he has given up everything in search of love, and found only contempt. This is what he deserves.

Reporter: Do any of you have a favorite animal? Child: My favorite one is a gold snake that can move. It has gold eyes, and it has a super-duper tail… Reporter: Mr. Mamdani, the second question for you. Mamdani: Yes. It’s also the golden snake.

Ciji Graham’s is the seventh case ProPublica has investigated in which a pregnant woman died after she was unable to access standard care in a state that has significantly restricted abortion. Read her story: https://propub.li/4r4VQr4

I mean the Virginia reason is the same as the Indiana reason.

I hope this happens every day for the rest of his miserable life lasvegassun.com/news/2026/fe...

He did say fuck though so

Reviewing video from Fulton County elections raid. Taken aback by the dismissive & sneering attitude from FBI agents toward the cop politely asking to see the warrant. Looked him up: He's an immigrant w/ a doctorate in philosophy. His thesis? "Force by police officers toward African Americans."

Would be neat if Democratic Party elected officials were as capable of plain, forceful, morally lucid speech as pop musicians Billie Eilish, Bad Bunny, & Jack White

Every two years I say I'm not interesting in watching the Olympics and then I will randomly and intensely get into something like curling.

HAPPENING NOW: DHS just expedited Liam Conejo Ramos' asylum hearing to this morning, meaning it's possible the five-year-old and his family could be deported as soon as today. Rep. Joaquin Castro: "The Trump administration is trying to take him away again." www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

One reason Minneapolis remains in the world's eye is we have one of the most robust & independent media ecosystems remaining in the country. You all need this...and more! @mprnews.org @startribune.com @sahanjournal.bsky.social @minnesotareformer.com @minnpost.bsky.social @racketmn.com etc.

LOL I just realized people are mad that Bad Bunny is speaking in Spanish and the Super Bowl is in *Santa Clara, California.*

I don't even know what teams are playing in the Super Bowl I just know about Bad Bunny.

Very seriously this story will be shocking to people who don't know what people with 'desk jobs' do. There's a huge skill gap between say, Bluesky users and the Fox News demo, and a lot of the Fox folks can't even imagine what a computer job is. It's also why they think WFH is code for not working.

Everything’s Antifa when you don’t know how to read.

"Billie Eilish's theory of property." OK guys!

I don't know why she's being very wrong about food right now but this is...very wrong. This is not barbecue. Barbecue is time intensive by definition.

I will never understand how it wasn't obvious to everyone that crypto has no real function except speculation and crime
