"An Associated Press reporter was beaten by the police and detained along with three other journalists on Tuesday in Cameroon while reporting on a secretive Trump administration program to deport migrants to the Central African country, according to two of the people detained." (gift link)

Measles is one of those nightmare diseases that, if it hadn't been killing people for hundreds of years, people would ABSOLUTELY be pushing conspiracy theories about right now. It's too nasty in too many different directions to seem natural. But oh, boy, it sure is.

A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.   This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.   Not one dime for this cruelty. www.cbsnews.com/amp/chicago/...

Breaking news: New baby alpaca born a few hours ago. So we moved the moms & young ones to another prairie so the big boys—male llamas and horses—don’t play too rough with the baby. Please accept our timeline cleanse as you battle to preserve the 250-year old experiment of American Democracy.

That photo of Prince curled up on the couch 😍 If you can foster or adopt, that could be your couch!

These cases continue to arise, reminding there’s seemingly no ‘correct’ way to dispose of pregnancy remains that will protect us from criminal investigation—not while abortion bans and fetal personhood laws exist:

This is called a community college and if we funded them properly we wouldn't need private individuals to offer these kinds of services.

Choco Pie has gone into an ACC foster home Please continue sharing him until he is rescued or adopted

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Meta's plan for launching glasses that people can use to secretly identify strangers on the street is to do it "during a dynamic political environment" when people who care about why that's bad are "focused on other concerns." www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/t...

Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family. “He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

"I saw people laying in feces. People throwing up, people laying in urine." The former worker provided WUSA9 with what they claim are internal head count sheets from December showing…47, 50 and 56 detainees in the same cell…and as many as 50 in an even smaller cell. www.wusa9.com/article/news...

Yet again a pup is at risk because their human lost their home. This should never happen pets or humans, but it keeps happening. Let’s find a foster and save Summer so her humane doesn’t have that grief on top of housing insecurity.

You see there’s a basebowl and a superbowlstructure

This is the ur-grift: it’s not the get-rich-quick scheme that makes you rich, it’s teaching other people how to sell it to someone else.

Bringing back this thread.

Giving somebody anonymity in a FEATURE WRITTEN ABOUT THEM is absolutely ridiculous unless they are like fleeing persecution. She doesn’t want to tell readers the truth, she doesn’t want to take responsibility for the ethical problems with what she’s doing, WHY are you promoting her?

Share it far and wide. You never know who it will reach.💔

One of the most unrealistic episodes of Law & Order is when a college professor was accused of killing another professor cuz they were competing over who'd be chair of the department.

Thank you, Victor. I spent a few weeks on this. As usual, it’s always a negotiation with length. So a few other bon mots: 1. The admin has issued DOJ guidance to challenge state laws that would regulate AI www.wired.com/story/ai-sup...

It's important to remember: The Washington Post's business problems are a direct result of decisions Jeff Bezos has made—not the newsroom. Yet it's the newsroom paying the price. Watch the full episode of Power Lines on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnMG...

I really hate that whenever I see something with a congrats, happy bday, condolences, etc., for a white male public figure whose work I have admired, I now immediately wonder if they are in the Epstein files before sharing, commenting, or simply vicariously enjoying the praise.

I’m tempted to turn this into a writing exercise and see if my journalism students can improve it.

Upside for Yale — this freshman journalist has published an unforgettable last sentence. yaledailynews.com/articles/gel...

OK so now the former CEO of Tumblr is running the Washington Post. Tumblr. A company whose history is a textbook case study in corporate value destruction.

NEW: A baby held in immigration detention became so sick, she had to be rushed to a hospital in severe respiratory distress. “She was at the brink of dying,” a lawyer told me. But the girl didn’t go home after her 10-day hospital stay; instead, ICE put her and her mother back in lock up at Dilley.

I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors. Great work everyone.

This poor girl needs some love. Not her fault she caught kennel cough. Can anyone help her out and foster?

ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota. This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and he’s been getting death threats. They hate the helpers. Which is why must keep helping.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

It turns out if you follow too many deer too closely they will actually get pissed and try to scare you away. I never learned how to scare off deer because usually *it isn't fucking necessary*.

This is actually pretty huge reporting: there were buyers for shuttered sections of the Post, and Bezos and Lewis didn't even respond to the offers.

Do you need a best friend who wants nothing more than to cuddle during these trying times? Choco Pie could be that friend for you!

Concentration camps: stories of as many as 50 people to a cell — men and women in some cases — with no windows and limited airflow, a single camera-monitored toilet, aluminum blankets, no showers and poor quality food.

Years later: A teenager with perfect hair brings the boyfriend/girlfriend/nonbinaryfriend home to meet the parents. Mom pulls out the baby photos. “Let me show you the time she went viral.” A horrified teenager whispers urgently, “No! Please, mom, no!”

“…a lawyer for the man was told Friday morning that Abreu would need a doctor’s note to be able to access the anti-rejection medication vital to his transplant.”

"Journalists are not influencers— Thank God! Some of the best are obsessed with the most boring things— numbers, spreadsheets, accountability! It’s not sexy, but damn is it Democratic." Read this entire piece by @mirandagreen.bsky.social

Donald Trump in 1989 took out a full page ad in the New York Times calling for the execution of five teenagers. He said they looked guilty. He said in his ad "I want to hate the[m] and I always will. ... I want them to be afraid." All five were innocent of any crime. All five were Black or Latino.
