Somebody should let @thirdway.bsky.social know they're advocating to put us on track for authoritarianism through cowardice.

🔥 REP. @ramirez.house.gov : “DHS cannot be reformed. It must be dismantled, and something new must take its place… one day you will be held accountable for your role in this dark moment in our nation’s history.” 🇺🇸 #AbolishICE

Elect this woman President.

Susan Rice saw this moment coming. She described it plainly, and she was right. Now, Netflix must decide which side of history it wants to be on. The right choice is obvious. The only question is whether Netflix has the courage to make it. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/susa...

Former ICE agent: My first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a warrant. I watched ICE cut classes that teach our legal system, firearms training, use of force, lawful arrests, and the limits of officers' authority

Please excommunicate whoever decided AIs needed to take on this subservient tone while they do whack ass shit nobody asked them to do. Excommunicate them from the entire planet.

One thing we don’t do well, societally or interpersonally, is digest harms when there really isn’t anyone to blame. Being called a n*gger on international television in front of your peers is a harm. Having a disability that creates that harm through no choice of your own is a harm.

Law geeks are going to freak out, but the reality is that we're going to have to.... Stretch some anti-corruption laws to burn out this cancer. We cannot allow anyone to remain with any sort of power, because they will use it to corrupt and destroy the country.

Despite being a “moderate,” Sen. Susan Collins has voted with Trump 96% of the time — and her most recent support has gone toward the voter suppressive SAVE America Act. She knows what she’s doing, and she’s exactly the type of politician civil rights leaders warned us about, Marc Elias writes.

Charges against Former Prince Andrew must be dropped if it’s determined that raping teenagers was an official act. by John Roberts (joined by Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett)

@nicktimiraos.bsky.social my dude, if CSAM and Nazis are less offensive and annoying to you than randos on the internet criticizing you in a way you don't like: GTFO of journalism, because you don't have thick enough skin or the morals for it.

Americans waking up to news that Prince Andrew has been arrested for Epstein ties

Wtf is this? I am not interested in antagonizing everyone in the world because our government is run by a bunch of dipshit goons.

I can’t believe you lefty Luddites hate tech so much that you embrace mRNA vaccines, heat pumps, electric bikes, hybrid work, renewable power (and awesome advancements in storage), space telescopes, and hot/cold running water but reject the planet destroying plagiarism enrich the worst people bots!

“Is there a technology the left is excited about?” High-speed rail! MRNA vaccines! New cancer treatments! Solar and wind energy collection! Better and longer-range EVs! That wood that's harder than steel! New apples! Fibermaxxing! Buldak Swicy ramen! Muppets! Muppets are too a technology, shut up!

I honestly think this is an underreported story. If he can stuff away billions on an overseas account, he can stand up personal militias.

🔥 “To me, when we're talking about what justice looks like, it's ultimately getting to a place where every single fascist agent and the leaders that directed them to do what they did are held accountable to the highest degree of the law. And that means prosecution.”

DHS is shutting down because it refuses to obey the law. They are tear-gassing schools, killing American citizens, and disappearing legal immigrants. Democrats shouldn’t fund an out of control ICE.

If a grown ass adult believes something this outlandish about people they've never met... THE PROBLEM IS NOT ONE OF MESSAGING. IT IS ONE OF A POPULATION SO DIPSHITTED, EVEN TRYING TO GIVE THEM WHAT THEY "WANT" IS HOPELESS. IT IS A PROBLEM OF EXTREME PROPAGANDA.

Saying something like this, as a police officer, should be grounds for the death penalty. I don't even want the death penalty used for any other purpose. But when you violate the public trust so egregiously, society would be better off without you around.

every day ask yourself what you can do to Bring Back Shame

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

Siri, how much does it cost to transport rocks *checks notes* ....238,000 miles?

under questioning by Rand Paul, ICE officials confirm that yelling at officers is not assault and recording officers is not a crime

Sometimes very hard not to feel like the rest of the country has abandoned Minnesota. We STILL have ICE everywhere. Our schools, businesses, and economy are in profound crisis. But without Bovino here throwing tear gas, much of the country seems to not care at all what’s being done to us.

If you saw today's headline that Gallup will stop measuring presidential approval, they did the same thing in 2018. They do it whenever Trump is president.

Yikes here are the numbers for the past 12 months. Everything is pretty much dead except healthcare/social assistance. Note that healthcare growth is largely not about the business cycle -- it's about the aging of the population and more elderly people needing care.

Donald Trump’s DOJ just tried—and failed—to indict me in front of a grand jury. We will continue to fight back against their rising tyranny. Don’t Give Up the Ship.

Admission to a capricious abuse of power based on petty grievance—a power usurped from Congress.

Watters: I was walking in my street, a car drives by and I give him a wave. He rolls down the window and says, “F U fascist.” He doesn’t know I’m a fascist! Jessica: Yes, he does. You’re on TV.

Goldman: You said references to ICE as secret police encourages threats. The problem is you have it backwards sir. People are making valid observations about your tactics which are outright fascist. If you don’t want to be called a fascist regime, stop acting like one.

There’s no war. The US wasn’t attacked, and isn’t under imminent threat. Congress didn’t authorize it. Treaties don’t allow it. Drugs aren’t armaments. Drug traffickers aren’t terrorists. Even with all that, we don’t know these were all drug traffickers. And even if they were, they’re low level.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?” There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

This disgusting POS retiring will be an injustice. He needs to be in prison for corruption.

Thought of this BFT blog over the weekend when my kid asked why the president shared a meme depicting the Obamas as apes. I tried to be as straightforward as possible. We gotta be honest with the children. They deserve that much. badfaithtimes.com/tell-your-ki...

In related news about the Washington Post and the state of journalism today, Amazon "ran a $1.2 billion tax bill last year, down from $9 billion the previous year, even as its profits jumped by 45% to nearly $90 billion." That's in the wake of the 2025 tax bill www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

Another US lethal strike on a boat, this one in the eastern Pacific. Total attacks now up to 38, killing at least 128. As with previous boat bombings, in violation of US law and international treaties, without any causus beli, when the US wasn’t attacked, and hasn’t even advanced stated goals.

'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' presents a 1,400% hilarious supercut of Trump's prescription drug price claims.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

NEW: Abigail Spanberger this afternoon ordered that all state agencies leave ICE's 287(g) program. This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE. Big, big move by the governor within weeks of coming into office.

They’re taking children from Minnesota and locking them up like criminals in detention camps in Texas. For the love of God, send our kids home and bring an end to this nightmare. www.startribune.com/walz-demands...

This, from @kenwhite.bsky.social in @theunpopulist.net, is a genuine must-read. If the current state of free speech discourse interests you—and especially if it infuriates you—this is a critical reframe steering us away from the idea that bad-faith actors are actually our free speech heroes.

If regulations aren't achieving the desired effect, the correct action is to improve the regulations. Instead, our country is so full of reactionaries that we hit abort instead. We are a nation of unserious people, and we get what we deserve.

Note that these are the years over which America first became the world’s economic superpower
