Breaking News: The President of the United States has, in a published statement, indicated his willingness to commit War Crimes. Repeat: Donald Trump is willing to commit war crimes. Media Response: Ho Hum. Let's talk about Springsteen in St Paul.

Things that make me happy now. I realize that for some, showing the Big 10 (plus all those other teams that just joined) respect is very hard. Somehow, we got 9 in the field of 64. 6 in Sweet 16, 4 in the Elite 8 2 in the Final 4 and The possibility of an all-Big 10 final is a real one.

It's Vietnam all over again, part 286: Reading more calls to reinstate the draft for the same reasons as before. Just like Vietnam, the calls are coming from rich old white guys who never served because the draft was inactive, or got deferments.

Sad that MSM kept talking about the importance of small towns in red areas (like mine) and couldn't show anything. (I know limited resources). C'mon @CNN, @msnownews.bsky.social, you know these events are going to happen. Plan better.

Yesterday, one of the last two performers from the 1963 March on Washington performed in Minneapolis, Joan Baez. Much has been made about the activism of Bruce Springsteen, and it's deserved, but his role model was also there. Hint: If anyone deserves the Medal of Freedom, it's John Baez.

A politician with the guts to say it: "No American child from the blue collar or the middle class should have to die fighting in Iran. Let the Epstein class fight the Epstein War." - Premier Wab Kinew at the NDP national convention, Winnipeg.

"We are the people who run this country. We are the deciders. And every single day, every single one of us needs to step outside and take some action to help stop this war. ... We need people in the streets, banging pots and pans and demanding, 'Stop it, now!'" Molly Ivins final column 2007

War is an armed conflict between the armed forces of states, or between governmental forces and armed groups organized under a command structure and capable of sustaining military operations, or between such organized groups. It's not an excursion #ThisisallTrumpsFault

For those of you who want to watch the deliciously brutal (and mischievous) ad by Lindsey Graham's opponent, Dr. Annie Andrews, but don't wish to venture into Elon's bad place, here is the BlueSky link: bsky.app/profile/dran...

I have patiently watched American experts try to explain Iran. I have waited impatiently for someone to ask Azar Nafisi. Thanks @us.theguardian.com for this.

7 years ago, we learned about Bob Mueller’s conclusions. Today, there are a lot of posts on social media claiming it was a farce, or worse, a fraud. But those posts are disinformation. Here is the actual information, with links for those who want to do a deep dive. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Fat old men with no experience in war, who are profiteering from the war are going to have another Vietnam

Saw an old interview with Frank Herbert who said “I don’t think that the old saw about power corrupting and absolute power corrupting absolutely is accurate. I think power attracts the corruptible” and, yeah, that.

Trump did that 👇

My "representative" would rather see poverty, hunger and illness increase that to deny 47 his vanity war.

1/2 For those planning to call Congress about the Congress critters who are lighting and fanning the flames of Islamophobia, & want to talk about Michigan's Muslim Community, some facts, 1. Dearborn does not govern itself by Sharia Law. 2. Neither does Dearborn Heights.

Oh JD, I bet the amount of paperwork you did selling your soul to the devil was incredible.

@dananessel.bsky.social is the member of the administration I am going to miss the most.

Are you noticing how the posts for DJT not starting wars, where Hillary and Kamala would, have aged so well? Even Dowd fell for him.

Life has a way of putting opportunity in front of you. I just got one. Sadly, I need to take a hiatus from y'all. I'll miss you. Stay safe and well.

Proof that one should never mess with "Mr. Hockey"

One does not mess with Gordie Howe. A man of great character, the greatest hockey player ever and proud to be a Canadian and a Michigander. Don't mess with Geordie Howe ever. #9

Let's talk about the Special Relationship between Michigan and Ontario and Detroit and Windsor. Trump wants to stomp Michigan into the ground. Keep your sticks on the ice, folks.

Here's to @slotkin.senate.gov, who said enough, and her colleagues who said, "Yes, let's do this." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

We just shared the link from NBC about three warehouses being bought to house immigrants, but it now looks like we seriously underreported how many are being purchased. Based on information many of you have shared, the number appears to be over 26.

And we can't do this why?

Congratulations @jocelynbenson.bsky.social and Michigan.

To all of you Michigan Resisters! News Flash! Betsy DeVos is in the Epstein Files.

Now he wants to mess with the Geordie Howe Bridge. Has anyone seen Matthew Maroun around DC? Just curious. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Finally found Maggie Reed @mermaidmamamaggie.bsky.social Another treasure.

Anyone thinking we've been thrown into a Martin Cruz Smith novel and that we're all Arkady Renko trying to survive it?

The original Steel Magnolia had more spine and a more compelling story than the current part-time resident. Republicans hated her. Why? Because she cared more about the people and the needy than she did about what Nancy Reagan and her cronies thought of her

Marinette County needs to contact ICE about this, they disappear a lot of people. 🤬 Hope they find her. www.uppermichiganssource.com/2026/02/06/p...

If you are not following the wonderful @lisandravcomedy.bsky.social, you are missing out on a treasure!

I’m sharing Aliya’s entire opening statement. We owe it to her, and those who no longer have a voice, to watch. youtu.be/zrcW8SZtYpI?...

Oh my goodness, Johnson says he knows the Bible better than the Pope. This could be very interesting.

Another reason is that the Kingdom of Denmark might be unwilling to become part of the US. Their leader looks very much like he lives on Earth-1.

And somewhere, an American movie reviewer will give this 5 stars, while wondering if it will get Oscar nods for best documentary and best picture this year. Watch the distraction, I mean, the publicity campaign resulting after the loss, that the Oscar was "stolen."

Yep, Tom Homan is going to drop the temperature in Minneapolis, bigly. I have a lot in Ecuador for sale if anyone's interested. kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

Are you happy having ice thugs in Maine? Are you registered to vote in Maine? You know that Susan Collins is aware of your concerns. Of course you did. But.... She's clutching her pearls for you, and will vote to stop the killing by giving the dogkiller money to continue ice corruption. 202-224-2543

@stephruhle.bsky.social I listened to you last night when you called out the Minnesota business CEO letter as "lame." Lame was kind, Now if Home Depot and Lowes remove their license plate readers from their parking lots nationwide. That would be proof of their committment.

What fresh Hell is this? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Hey @msnownews.bsky.social @cbsnews.com Homan says his boys don't do anything wrong and you're swallowing it totally. Is this ok?

Tom Homan is a liar. He says his agents don't do anything wrong. He's called for the arrest of Democratic lawmakers; he won't bring down the temperature. To say it's an opportunity for a reset is wrong. You just won't see him throwing tear gas canisters or other chemicals at protestors.
