Anyone who defends the practice of calling a woman “a bitch” because that woman in particular “deserves it” really needs to listen to the logic in that argument. Maybe ask yourself if that’s how you want the children in your life to determine what kind of language they use.

Stuff like this is why I’m subscribed to The Handbasket.

vividly remember, in the Corbyn Hell Years, seeing people on Twitter quite actively bonding over their joint hatred of me - trying to outdo each other in their meanness - and I just don't think it's possible to explain how weird and unpleasant it is, especially as someone who's....no-one

Yes. This is it. Some people believe their politics; other people adopt politics as an excuse to hurt other people for fun and tell themselves it’s for a good cause and they can’t be blamed. The internet has let all the people in the latter group find each other and make better rationalizations.

Just imagine being the kind of person who would build your personal security detail on the bones of dead women and children around the world.

The potential foreign agent was Saudi foreign agent Jared Kushner. I mean, I was betting on Roger Stone but this is actually far more problematic.

This, from a *landlord*, is so funny: "Oh, the CEOs don't 'do' any work, do they? I guess you forgot about a little thing called 'gravitas.'"

Here's a new one, y'all.

Our goal in reporting this wasn't to debunk Jerry Mitchell and Mississippi Today's story, nor to try to discredit the competition (we all make mistakes). But when I saw commenters posting "Shame on these staffers for removing the brochures"—which none of them did—it was vital to correct the record.

"Bad Bunny’s halftime show put the MAGAt right on the aggressively wrong side of traditional marriage, love, and even the American flag, to say nothing of the Latino votes they need to stay in power. & he did it without once mentioning ICE." @emptywheel.bsky.social emptywheel.net/bill-kristol...

Well then play it. Play it again and again until there’s an answer. Make them answer for sending Nazi death troops to wage a war of terror against the U.S. civilian population.

Three members of Congress say US health secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr lied during his Senate confirmation hearings, that newly revealed emails undermine his testimony that a trip he took to Samoa ahead of a deadly measles outbreak had “nothing to do with vaccines”

We’re a few days away from the DHS funding deadline, which means Democrats have real leverage to stop the regime’s secret police. Demand that Democrats refuse to fund DHS without ironclad limits on ICE and CBP, actual accountability for abuses, and clear guardrails to stop raids and intimidation.

We'll be told "there are millions of people who are uncomfortable with that, and we have to learn to live with them." No, actually. We already are living with each other, including them. They're uncomfortable with some of us. THEY have to learn to live with US. If they won't, that is their problem.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

“Mr. Beast Salesforce ad” - they’re calling it the least appealing phrase ever assembled in any language. They finally did it

Listen.

Art eats empire for breakfast.

And while everyone is feeling good about Benito giving a Grammy to someone who is not Liam Ramos: Congress can pass a personal bill to grant citizenship to Liam Ramos, his family and Kilmer Abrego Garcia.

Thank you for drawing this to my attention.

Salt and light if I’ve ever seen it

Whistle-Blower Report Involved Intelligence About a Trump Contact

After consulting with Trump chief of staff Susie Wiles, intel chief Tulsi Gabbard is hiding "evidence of an unusual phone call between an individual associated with foreign intelligence and a person close to Donald Trump," according to the Guardian. Criminals are running our federal government.

The banality of evil is shocking. An ex-Big Lots warehouse for cheap consumer junk is bought by ICE to ship as many as 7,500 handcuffed human beings, as the Trump regime builds a U.S. gulag archipelago The unthinkable comes to Pa. coal country. My special report www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

Props to the team at The Verge for sticking with this story, elusive doesn’t really begin to describe it

Jeffrey Epstein closely followed the #MeToo movement and wrote in one email “charlie, harvey , brett. louis. . jeffrey is looking better and better L:)." Via @gracepanetta.bsky.social 19thnews.org/2026/02/jeff...

Correct.

“The ‘anti-woke’ movement was not a genteel intellectual inquiry, made by disinterested parties who cared deeply about free speech. It is a social circle of powerful people who feel threatened by #MeToo.”

In the same way Abrego Garcia was, this 5-year-old is being singled out and punished for making the administration look bad just by existing as sympathetic case.

"That was where the 'cancellation' panic came from — a fear that people might use their right to freedom of association to avoid people who, for instance, palled around w/ known pedophiles. It’s not illegal to do that...it’s just gross." @lopatto.bsky.social www.theverge.com/tech/874721/...

BREAKING: White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles has been subpoenaed to testify as a witness in a federal foreign lobbying criminal case. Wiles’ lengthy record of corporate & foreign lobbying clients is too conflicted to be running the White House.
