#TimelineCleanse #Olympics For My New Appreciation of the Olympics and the Love of Curling Did you know Curling originated in 16th Century Scotland

I don’t think anyone acquainted with the Epstein files can deny that the Republican Party is sincerely committed to putting children to work.

As an attorney with occasional experience with the Equal Time rule, I can explain what's going on here and how the FCC's Brandon Carr is leveraging his position to force late night and daytime talk show hosts to exclude Democratic candidates. First I need to explain the Equal Time rule itself. 1/

What I heard in Munich? "Europe needs to emancipate itself from the US as fast as possible"

This is a bombshell: One of Epstein's victims accused Trump of sexually and violently assaulting her when she was "13 to 15" and the FBI deemed her credible enough to warrant an interview.

Dismantle it all.

Australian MP Sue Higginson didn’t mince words warning that Trump-style politics built on fear and division is spreading beyond the U.S. Her message: democracies must resist importing culture wars that distract from inequality, climate, and human rights. #Australia #Trump @suehigginson.bsky.social

I teach high school. My students have brought this issue up several times.

I doubly hate this because we all know what it looks like when all the world’s media want to ruin a politician, and the fact that they don’t do this to Trump means that they don’t want to.

"The press is a great keyboard on which the government can play.” -- Joseph Goebbels

Allegations of cheating, and swearing, on the curling ice have rocked the wholesome sport after the Swedes accused the Canadians of "double touching" in a match on Friday. What happened then, and what's happened since? n.pr/40fcmsy

AOC’s biggest problem if she runs for president is that the white men who control our media ecosystem will not so much put a finger on the scale to stop her as an entire hand it can be done (see: Zohran) but it’s going to be blatant and it’s going to be infuriating

🟢 STUNNING REVERSAL Opus Development Company LLC announced today they will NOT sell the Hutchins, Texas site to ICE.

Did I just hear that Rubio skipped his meeting with Zelenskyy and our allies because he "didn't have time" and then flew to Hungary to meet with Orban? JFC what are we even doing here?

A thing that annoys me about the Axios newsletter is that the tone is consistently “I am one of the top experts on this thing I learned about five minutes ago.” Also that they have 280 sources in the White House but their only source on the left is Rep. Capitulate Middle (D).

I feel this in my bones

If I were a Democrat concerned about winning elections and was hearing that a significant number of voters wouldn’t support Gavin Newsom in 2028, I would simply stop pushing Gavin Newsom in 2026.

@fieldmontgomery.bsky.social I feel like you needed a meme from me. It’s been too long. You’re welcome 😜

If you think there’s NOTHING in our heritage (or in any nation’s) to be unapologetic about, you’re a fool. A dangerous fool.

"Trump’s goal...was domination and dominion, an effort to gut the [Kennedy Center] and wear it like a skin suit while demanding respect, as he’s been trying to do with the Nobel Peace Prize for the last year." www.thebulwark.com/p/a-day-and-...

Shut down Dilley. www.thebulwark.com/p/kids-arent...

Probably my favorite

Yes, but think about all the economic anxiety that’s going to be resolved by having no new vaccines and having consistent outbreaks of measles, mumps, and rubella.

And I thought we had freedom of religion in this country…. 😎

Pretty sure civil society groups can walk & chew gum at the same time, Zuck.

NYT: Trump secretly deported 9 migrants despite court orders to not remove them to their home nations. So, he sent them to prison in Cameroon: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/14/w...

Happy Valentine’s Day

The Trump admin is so far over their skis and they don’t even know it because they choose to live in a bubble.

LOL, “Murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.”

i’ll end this little brainstorm by just asking what it is, exactly, that the MAGA right likes about the United States, since it explicitly rejects those things that make this nation distinctive — its pluralism, its revolutionary heritage and egalitarian aspirations, and its republican institutions

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

😂😂😂

Of all things to criticize AOC about, boilerplate on Taiwan gets people upset? Sorry tankie leftists, she didn’t say everything bad in the world is America’s fault, and indicated that deterring Chinese imperialism could be good. Sorry, fake China hawks, she was measured instead of fire-breathing.

ICE has completely broken our social contract. They manipulate social trust and are creating lasting damage to our most basic social foundations

straight out of those Civil War histories where some ill informed white Union soldier got a view of slavery up close and became hyper abolitionist in an instant

"A new ruling from the Trump administration says that when the sun disappears at night, we don’t know where it goes. All remaining top scientists have been taken from their positions and tasked with getting to the bottom of this." www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

They should shut down the entire government if it's in the business of sponsoring masked gunmen kidnapping people and shooting protestors.

no foreign foe has ever dreamed of being able to sack and pillaging this country the way Trump admin and its congressional and scotus enablers do every day.

This has been true since--as I write in my book Hot Type--the industrialization of news led to takeover by capital, starting with Whitelaw Reid & the NY Tribune. Learn this from Bezos and the Washington Post: with hyper-capitalists in charge, your news is not safe www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It does amaze me that every time she opens her mouth it’s somehow impeachable.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

Repeat after me: An executive order is not a royal edict; it is not law. It is a direction to the executive branch as to how to carry out the law. Also: Key parts of Trump's last EO on elections have been stopped by federal courts, ruling that the President has no role to play in federal elections
