The US Women's Figure skating team is kinda punk and I dig it. #Olympics

Virginia State Senator Louise Lucas is just a delight on every level

Metry and her husband of 4 years go to DHS to get their I-130 in motion. "Good news" a DHS employee told them, the form to start her naturalization was approved. DHS employee asks the husband to follow him through a secure door. When it locks behind him, ICE detains his wife to deport her.

Team USA skier: Just because I wear the flag doesn’t mean I represent everything that’s going on in the US.

"President Obama and Michelle Obama are brilliant, caring and patriotic Americans. They represent the best of this country. It's time for John Thune, Mike Johnson and Republicans to denounce this serial fraudster who's sitting at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue pretending to be the President."

BREAKING: New reaction from Leader Jeffries to the racist Trump video: "This disgusting video posted by the so-called president was done intentionally. Fuck Donald Trump and his vile, racist, and malignant behavior. This guy is an unhinged bottom feeder."

In 2024, Trump stated that only himself and Dan Scavino have access to his Truth Social account. This contradicts Karoline Leavitt’s implication that some random, unnamed low-level staffer was to blame for posting the now-deleted racist Obama ape video.

As a palate cleanser, here's President Obama with my friend Kirsten's then-toddler daughter at a rally in Golden, Colorado in September, 2012.

Maria is one of hundreds of children, who — like Liam Ramos — have been held at a Texas detention facility where parents say children languish as they’re served contaminated food, receive little education and struggle to obtain basic medical care. Here's our attempt at telling their stories. 2/

This is Maria, a 6-year-old detained by ICE last year. She began to unravel soon after arriving at a detention center in Texas, wetting the bed after years without accidents, crying through the night and begging to breastfeed again. Most of all, she wanted to be reunited with her cat, Milo. 1/

Everyone in the White House involved in any way with that vile, sickening racist Trump post must be fired immediately: everyone in the communications department, everyone in the press office, every deputy chief of staff, everyone involved up and down the line. Not one more tax dollar for this filth.

Anybody heard from Sen Katie Britt or is she too busy calling herself a Christian and feeling sorry for herself? bsky.app/profile/jben...

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-...

Medgar Evers’ killer was a Klansman, but Trump administration says stop calling him a racist mississippitoday.org/2026/02/05/m...

A lot of Post people have written eulogies/laments over the past few days, which I appreciate. Instead of writing something new, I will point back to my response to Bezos when he first proposed trying to accommodate the right — a piece that Matt Murray had to sign off on before it ran. Gift link:

They're Abrego-Garcia-ing a child -- punishing him because his very existence is inconvenient to them. It's gutter bigotry and petulant sadism all the way down.

Because she's a vile racist.

Oh, glad she cleared that up for us.

So... this "White House staffer" has full access to the account from which the President of the United States often makes official pronouncements? How many "White House staffers" have such access? Seems like something Congress might care about. Or at least his cabinet.

Trump is blaming an aid for posting a late night meme on his Truth Social account showing the Obamas as apes Trump is a lying sack of shit

4. I’m not sure even the Obama piñata can give his core followers the hit it used to give. Not only does the racism dopamine have a killer half life, Obama has been mostly gone from public discourse. I guess we will see.

Three thoughts. 1. It’s always been about the white nationalism 2. He is returning to the old favorites because his support is waning 3. He dabbled with this trope before but would always leave a hair of deniability. Going straight there also seems like a sign of weakness

I think one thing white people tie ourselves in knots over about racism is what someone “feels in their heart” or whatever. And that just … doesn’t really matter? It’s the behavior that matters.

white house narrative this morning: the president is NOT racist and you are FAKE NEWS for asking about it white house narrative this afternoon: it was merely a STAFFER being ACCIDENTALLY RACIST and the president definitely did not post the meme we said wasnt racist 3 hours ago

This is why I block 2024 election conspiracy theories. I refuse to let voters off their hook for their own moral culpability in giving us this monster.

Thank you for correctly calling Karoline Leavitt racist. Because she is.

this is very funny www.foxnews.com/media/jd-van...

Wonder how POTUS is marking Black History Month.

"What city are you going to next?" What is this, Gestapo on tour? What an utter failure and humiliation, @nbcnews.com. This isn't journalism, this is sucking up to generate web clicks. Tim Russert would be ashamed of you.

“Llamas said ‘right’ more than 30 times and ‘yeah’ more than 130 times, over the course of the interview.”

When my Dad was spiraling after his stroke towards the end of his life he would be up at all hours and have the TV on all night. It started with Fox News and then went downhill from there. That's what Trump is doing.

Will anyone in the White House press corps have the stones to push back against bigo Karoline Leavitt when she defends Trump's racist post? A simple "It's racist. Everyone can see that. What the hell is wrong with you?" would do.

Racism has been central to Trump and his movement since he came down the escalator. He is a racist. His people are racists. His defenders are racists. His supporters are racists. His party is a party of racists. If they want to disprove that, they can. But it's important to know they don't want to.

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...

Congratulations to everyone who didn't vote for Kamala Harris and is still making excuses for it and for this...thing.

"President Trump simply stands with the majority of White Americans who believe it's no big deal to portray Black people as monkeys"

"President Trump posted a blatantly racist video clip portraying former President Barack Obama and the former first lady Michelle Obama as apes, the latest in a long pattern by Mr. Trump of promoting offensive stereotypes about Black Americans and others." www.nytimes.com/2026/02/06/u...

Oh, were there other, less racist things, senator?

Congratulations to John Cornyn for providing a free ad for James Talarico. The Facebook comments are *chef's kiss*. PS about 2% of the Texas population is Muslim. Texas' Hindu population is second only to California. www.facebook.com/share/r/1DAv...

“A newspaper can turn a profit. One way for a newspaper to make a profit is if you keep its subscribers from canceling their subscriptions en masse. “If your yacht fails to endorse a candidate for president, people will say, ‘Good. A boat should not endorse candidates for president.’”

At the same time, the extent of the Washington Post layoffs highlight how it didn't matter how hardworking, loyal, smart, collaborative, award-winning, competitive, knowledgeable and devoted so many of the staff were. It wasn't enough to prevent being laid off by one of the richest men in the world.

It doesn't matter what the women said or did, how educated or successful they are, how faithful she is to her partner, anything. The Epstein files explicitly detail how these men (and their allies) emailed each other for advice and strategy on sex with girls and women, as well as helping each other.

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

These pissbabies can’t even let go of a legal and PR battle they’ve lost to a 5 year old. Incredible.

I managed to be successful as a sole proprietor/freelance Comms consultant for more than a decade. And I built personal and professional relationships that are still really valuable to me.

Much of this article is essentially cut-and-paste from GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert's press release. What Boebert's press release (and therefore this article) doesn't mention is that she voted against three of the projects she's now claiming credit for. kdvr.com/news/politic...

Gelernter endorsed Trump 3 times. He's an evolution and climate change skeptic who thinks women should stay home. He was a member of the "race science" Human Biodiversity Inst. After an unflattering profile in the WP, The Atlantic published an indignant piece calling him a "pioneering polymath."

“I know they would do anything, that they would hurt people, that they’ve murdered people... I know that intellectually. But I still did not expect them to gas a chill, friendly protest full of nurses and teachers and children and the elderly.” www.theverge.com/policy/87278...
