Buffalo police tasered and arrested a blind Burmese refugee who was using a curtain rod as a walking cane because he couldn’t understand their commands. Then, Border Patrol dropped him off alone at a Tim Hortons at night, 5 miles away from his home, and he was just found dead.

I really appreciate this TikToker with Tourette syndrome, Shay, for taking the time to educate so many of us (including me) about her disability and coprolalia in light of what happened at the BAFTAs with John Davidson when Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage. I learned a lot.

Nobody has really focused on the 63 million women voters over the age of 50. If ever there were a moment to mobilize them, it's now. msmagazine.com/2026/02/20/m...

The reason we're here is that tens of millions of people will punch a hole in a wall if they hear someone used food stamps to buy soda but they're fine if the right-wing podcaster turned fbi director uses his taxpayer funded private jet to go party whenever he feels like it bsky.app/profile/thed...

It's very windy today. Clover is both fascinated and mildly terrified.

🤯 Taliban allow men to beat their wives, but not with a stick, — Daily Mail. You can beat with such force that there are no fractures or severe bruises on the face. If the beating is very severe, the man can be given up to 15 days in prison.

Taliban basically wants women not to exist except as silent slaves of men. www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2...

Raising children tends to lead to lower wages and fewer work hours for mothers—but not fathers—in the United States and around the world. Can government programs that provide financial support to parents offset the motherhood penalty in earnings?

Yes! Coffee is good for you!

25 years ago, a bunch of libertarians moved to NH to take over state government. Jason Osborne, one of those "Free Staters," has since risen to be majority leader in the state house. How is he fighting for "liberty?" By helping Stephen Miller build a 324,000-foot prison for migrants and refugees.

BREAKING: The House passed the so-called SAVE America Act which threatens to upend our freedom to vote. The bill could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by requiring documents like passports or birth certificates to register to vote and forcing voter roll purges. The Senate must reject it.

Pam Bondi's Congressional appearance was shameful and would have been a career-ending day for any other Administration. But for the Trump Regime, it was Tuesday.

Mandelson: “Liberation Day! How is freedom feeling?” Epstein replied,“She feels fresh, firm, and creamy”. Mandelson: “Naughty boy”

Welcome the convert. That's how we will win.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!

Please repost (reskeet?). Even $10 makes a difference!

I cancelled my Washington Post sub. Bezos has enough money for a $500M yacht, a $40-55M wedding, $45M for the rights to the Melania movie plus $35M more to promote it. But he can't afford to preserve one of the nation's most important newspapers?

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

BREAKING: Bernie Sanders is introducing an amendment to cut ICE’s $75 billion funding increase, and to use those funds to restore the federal cuts to health care.

DARVO: Denial: No. I don't think about her. Attack: I think she's a fraud. Reverse Victim and Offender: She probably had herself sprayed, knowing her.

Breaking News: Yale will waive tuition for new undergraduate students whose families have annual incomes below $200,000.

Breaking News: Spain issued a decree allowing hundreds of thousands of undocumented migrants to apply for legal residency. The measure is bucking a trend, as many Western governments have cracked down on illegal immigration.

If the US were a geopolitical rival the headlines would be like: US Secret Police Execute Second Dissident In the Streets As Militarized Occupation Enters Sixth Week

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

They think the American people are stupid. It's been 2 days since the killing of Alex Pretti & this Admin continues to lie about what we all saw on video. Americans are horrified & don't want their tax dollars funding this brutality. Not another dime to this lawless operation.

People are right to be incensed, but there are more names to uplift. ICE killed an immigrant man named Silverio Villegas González in Chicagoland. He had children. Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped in Minneapolis and died in ICE custody on January 14. Their names deserve to be repeated, too.

Reporter: You received a letter from AG Pam Bondi making several demands…. Walz: I would just give a pro tip to the AG. There's 2 million documents in the Epstein files we're still waiting on. Go ahead and work on those

if you are looking for a place to give a few bucks today please think about b.resale in Minneapolis. the shooting yesterday happened in front of their store. they are staying open as a refuge. they’ve been handing out free supplies for ICE watch for weeks. cashapp $bresalempls paypal.me/bresalempls
