On a flight about to take off after severe weather and tell me why our pilot is standing at the top of the aisle gravely telling us it's been rough but "I'll do my best" ????

my editor told me that people were calling Trump’s foreign policy the Jolene doctrine bc he’s taking things “just because he can” and I said it was unfair to Jolene to name a doctrine after a motivation a third party projected on her and he got annoyed and said I should “go tweet that”

The Morrill Fire in Nebraska has killed 1 and consumed 549,000 acres with 0% containment. This is more than 10% of the entire area burned by U.S. wildfires in 2025, and makes it one of the 20 largest fires in U.S. history. Sunday forecast is grim: High Wind Warning, 25-35 mph winds, gusting to 50.

I am not a money scientist but fellas, this seems bad

New video footage shows a US Tomahawk missile hitting an IRGC facility in Minab, Iran, on Feb 28, showing for the first time that the US struck the area. The footage also shows smoke already rising from the vicinity of the girls’ school, where 175 people were reportedly killed, including children.

This is what ecocide looks like.

The US-Israel missile strike on a girls' primary school in Iran has killed 150, "including numerous students. The killing of pupils in a place dedicated to learning constitutes a grave violation of the protection afforded to schools under international humanitarian law." news.un.org/en/story/202...

"Definitely NOT gonna be doing another pointless, interminable occupation, FOR SURE," Pentagon says, winking

Footage from Minab, Iran, shows the aftermath of an Israeli-US strike on a girls' elementary school that reportedly killed more than 50 people.

"Flores came to Louisiana decades ago, to help rebuild after Hurricane Katrina." “Immigrant labor has literally developed Louisiana’s seafood industry,” Green said, referring to the Croatian, Isleño, Acadian and Vietnamese immigrants who settled the state’s coast.

The Coast Guard is now conducting immigration raids and demending proof of citizenship from deckhand in Louisiana.

In departure from norm, Coast Guard demands immigration papers on Louisiana docks In St. Bernard Parish, fishing deckhands fear death and detention amid regular immigration sweeps – not by ICE, but the Coast Guard lailluminator.com/2026/02/18/c...

“astrology for men” was too generous

Last question at presser: Reporter: Will you take any accountability for the two lives lost? Bovino: Two suspects have been shot...it goes back to the choices, to interfere and obstruct agents...whether it's based on ideology, we don't know.

Bovino at this press conference talking about "choices" and "consequences" like a mob boss in a Pacino movie

Protester in Minneapolis just before disappearing in gas: "Fuck you! Stop. Damn! I'm 70 years old and I'm fuckin' angry!"

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

They're crying in Boston, this time it's different

Timeless mistake. Never invade a winter people in the winter time.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Worse than Kent State, really than any episode I can think of probably dating back to Reconstruc & earlier b/c 1. continuing, not 1 off. 2. organized, not individual ofcrs losing it 3. literally at hand of federal government, which is 4. immediately lying & circling the wagons to prevent inves.

Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

The Star Tribune reports that federal agents "attempted to order local police from the scene" where a man was shot and killed by feds this morning, but Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara refused and "instructed his officers to preserve the scene."

When I was in Kyiv last month, I went around talking to people about how they were coping with blackouts. At a salon, they kept their generator in a shed out back. I tried to be like "haha please please move this, you're going to get carbon monoxide poisoning" but no luck. Godspeed to that salon

I’ve been writing Popular Information for 8 years, and this is one of the most important stories I’ve ever published. This is a humanitarian crisis that has gone unreported.

The movie Ice Age (March 15, 2002) is older than ICE’s age (March 1, 2003)

"Big Erdoğan vibes," I joke, as federal agents haul me off to a blacksite dungeon in the marsh

Verizon network is completely down in Boston. There's a national carrier outage on multiple carriers right now.

Everybody should watch this and see this woman, who has a baby in her arms and is thrust into basically a standoff, develop courage in real time.
