I had a very fun talk with the wonderful @benblacker.bsky.social!

One thinks Kristi Noem could have used some small portion of the $75 billion in funds we are lavishing on her and her prison empire to purchase a new blanket. Even Hermès.

Love to die of a super heavy period in a room made of my own skin

DHS has begun purchasing warehouses to detain tens of thousands of immigrants. The big winners? Real estate brokers facilitating the deals stand to rake in millions — including one previously run by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and now run by his son. Cashing in on cruelty.

If you think setting up a bunch of roadblocks that require completing annoying paperwork ahead of time is going to help MEN vote, boy do you have another thing coming

You know who mostly DON’T change their names when they get married? Highly educated women, one of the most reliably Democratic voting blocs in the country hahahaha

Perhaps now it is finally safe to admit that I have always found Noam Chomsky to be an unreadably boring writer whose points I reflexively disagree with out of spite at having to engage with such dull and self-regarding prose

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

You know one thing I have never cared about in my whole life? The jobs report

Chris Murphy: "I sat with the kids for an hour. They saw things in these prisons they'll never forget. The bottom line is we have a constitutional obligation to only fund an administration that's operating lawfully. We cannot, we should not fund DHS if it committing these crimes."

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

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

It is getting worse here.

I don’t think it’s weird that Howard Lutnick listed the ages of his kids that he was bringing to Epstein’s island; people do that all the time, so the hosts know what to expect. What’s weird is that HE WAS BRINGING HIS KIDS TO EPSTEIN’S ISLAND.

i think this more than anything is what miller wants. vast detention camps with all of the suffering and death that means.

That was the best halftime show I’ve ever seen #badbunny

As someone with my finger firmly on the pulse of the culture, I watched 3 and a half hours of figure skating and have now now returned to my podcast about the fall of the Astro-Hungarian empire

OMG STOP SAYING “QUAD GOD”

In Minnesota, ICE agents are illegally racially profiling residents, drawing weapons during arrests, claiming people’s citizenship documents are fake, and leaving people with long-lasting injuries. There is no excuse for Democrats to continue funding these jackbooted thugs.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

If you had told me, as a little girl, that a show I EP’d was running promos during my beloved Winter Olympics, I would have said: “wait, you’re not competing in the Olympics?”

They’re trying to run the Kilmar Abrego Garcia playbook with a five year old boy in a bunny hat because nobody can find peace if they embarrass the Trump administration publicly. Normal people didn’t like it with Garcia and they really aren’t going to like it for Liam.

We got dressed up

Jeffrey Epstein should have been on GOSSIP GIRL

Had seen this reposted many times & finally watched. Read the whole thread, watch & share this video. Play it for someone you know who doesn’t have social media. Find courage.

Devastating article about the effects of the Minneapolis chaos on children: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/u...

The problem isn’t “all men” or even “most men.” The problem is that most men have no idea what other men are like.

My big boy who keeps telling me he’s too big to cuddle had a bad dream and has been in bed for the last three hours with his entire body wrapped around me, on the other side, dog is doing the same thing. This isn’t even a Mommy sandwich, this is a full panini press situation

My politics are very simple. I am against anyone — ANYONE— who hurts or shoots or bombs or starves or detains or kidnaps or rapes or tear gasses or traumatizes children. ANY children.

Yes, but ordered by whom?

Don’t threaten me with a a good time!

It’s both gross and telling that the only person Epstein seemed anxious to impress was Woody Allen

You must read these

"Four hours after his arrest, he was taken to a hospital emergency room in Edina with swelling and bruising around his right eye and bleeding. A CT scan revealed at least eight skull fractures and life-threatening hemorrhages in at least five areas of his brain..." apnews.com/article/immi...

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Again huge congrats to everyone who normalized these people, who wants to fund them or (lol) train them better. Look upon your works you goddamn freaks.

Dirty Dancing would be a better movie if they had a mid-credits scene where Baby's dad is checking out of the resort and they hand him a bill for his daughter's 100 hours of private mambo lessons.

Many years later, my single grossest/favorite Hollywood interaction was watching Brett Ratner aggressively hit on the receptionist in an agency lobby and Mary Steenburgen was sitting across from me and we rolled our eyes at each other in shared disgust

It should not take a court order to get a toddler out of a prison.

Somewhere out there some MAGA grandma is convinced Trump and Melania met, like, at church

Why would Bill Gates need Jeffrey Epstein to get him antibiotics? Does he not have health insurance?

A girl who was part of a student-led anti-ICE protest at a school in Nebraska was hit by a vehicle displaying a Trump flag. www.ketv.com/article/nebraska...

In a blistering ruling, a Bush-appointed conservative federal judge said that ICE "has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence." Congress must not give one more cent to this rogue agency.

This is terrible. It is also an opportunity for certain journalists to finally speak up with a *fraction* of the courage the people of Minneapolis have shown. It is also instructive that Lemon is Black. Woe/pox etc upon white journalists who don’t freak out about this.

Mel Brooks really is the sexiest man who ever lived

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable. Biden himself said they were fabricated! www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

It's a good day to call your Senators and tell them that you are watching and that you will not forget what they do, or fail to do.

“Huge emphasis on scoops”

Will Melania’s voice be dubbed into English?
