This is absolutely disgusting and despicable. NOTHING is more important than saving lives. How dare she? Noem is not qualified, should never have been given her role, and needs to be impeached immediately. (FYI, big CG denies that this ever happened. Of course).

March 1st can’t come fast enough!

The 2026 native plant project is up and running! We have 10 seed distribution stations set up all around the city, each thanks to a volunteer poster hoster. This project was made possible by monthly donors to @skypeascientist.bsky.social and people who bought calendars from SquidFacts.net!

"The #Epstein Money Trail & Ongoing Fallout" CGTN America 18 Feb 2026 [0:05:30] #HumanTrafficking #Cult https://s.cultpodcasts.com/iIHG4dU8sUKj7n4efbOtFg#Epstein

The horror stories rolling in from Minnesota are just the tip of the iceberg. This 20-year-old, who's lawfully present in the country, was arrested for being Latino, then jailed in a filthy cell where he couldn't even sit down. 18 days of illegal detention. democracyforward.org/wp-content/u...

Nice to see another outlet picking up on the fact that a Republican candidate for governor in Tennessee confirmed to us he believes women who make their own reproductive decisions and get abortions should face the death penalty. pro.stateaffairs.com/tn/elections...

How is it possible that Kristi Noem still has this job. Imagine if you’re a family member or a shipmate of this guardsman. www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

Bari Weiss' makeover of CBS is sweeping. Out with quality journalists. In with charlatans and quacks.

Performative public lying is a hallmark of far right authoritarian parties

Florida is a cesspool of corruption.

The Republicans are shamelessly trying to rewrite history about the Epstein files. The Biden DOJ convicted Ghislaine Maxwell, the FBI was working cases until Trump came into office. There was no scandal until Trump ran on releasing the files and then reneged.

So many confirmed ICE sightings across the Minneapolis suburbs today (and further out). Keep your buckle on folks, this terrible ride is still going.

The U.S. killed 11 more civilians in boat strikes yesterday -- 8 in the Pacific Ocean and 3 in the Caribbean. We're tracking the increasing toll of these extrajudicial killings in a tracker @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2025/11/17/t...

Treatments for childhood cancer, Alzheimer’s, and sickle cell are at risk. Donald Trump slashed funds, and Massachusetts’s world-class researchers were hit hard. It's terrifying — and every family holding out hope for lifesaving treatments will hurt from this.

I fear for the safety of young women in that state.

Worse, it's really SMART. When/if Trump gets knocked out of power, the tech billionaires behind him will still keep theirs. Because they are also bankrolling Trump's opposition. In early 2026, they have the California Democratic Party on retainer.

But these tech billionaires are just wholesale buying out the California Democratic Party apparatus. That is very obviously the strategy, and it works. The standard bearers of the California Democratic Party are now subsidiaries of Silicon Valley's worst billionaires.

He’s two months old. He’s been in ICE detention half his young life and he’s very sick. I can’t put into words how upsetting and disgusting this whole situation is. I don’t believe in Hell, but if I did…

Public Comment Period Open: White House Ballroom Proposal over illegally destroyed East Wing US Commission of Fine Arts: written comments due by Wednesday, 18 Feb 2026 at 4pm ET National Capital Planning Commission: written comments due by Wed, 4 Mar 2026 at Noon ET savingplaces.org/public-comme...

All I see on my Twitter timeline are reporters parsing every quote from AOC in Germany, trying to mock them for incoherence or inaccuracy, while a demented old man who can’t string sentences together or stay awake sits in the Oval, while the legacy media happily sanewashes his quotes.

it all makes perfect sense when you realize even the normiest in the republican party are people who are obsessed with allowing things like child marriage (legal in 34 states!!) but not allowing kids unmonitored library or internet access or the most basic access to health education or birth control

Please take a moment to submit public comment to the National Capital Planning Commission on the East Wing ballroom project. Comments must be submitted by 3/4/26 before a hearing on 3/5. I really can't stand the thought of Trump's name being on the WH in perpetuity. www.ncpc.gov/participate/...

Now is the time to tell the National Capital Planning Commission your thoughts about Trumps ballroom project!!!! Comment period closes March 4th…. savingplaces.org/public-comme...

Remember the East Wing of the White House? Billionaires funding a new ballroom. What a travesty! It belongs to We the People, not the current resident. The National Trust for Historic Preservation is making a gallant effort to stop this. And we can help. 1/2

Thanks to the National Trust, we have until March 4 to submit comments about the ballroom to the National Capital Planning Commission. You can make a comment through the link below (PLEASE NOTE, the project is called East Wing Modernization on the pull down menu.) www.ncpc.gov/participate/... 2/2

It really is amazing how much of political punditry, *especially* elite outfits in NYC and Washington, still embrace this bizarre idea that rural spaces represent the "Real America" while metropolitan areas, where most (presumably real) Americans actually live, should be held in contempt.

The school that my daughter works for in St Paul has morning and afternoon parent ICE volunteers for blocks (every corner) on the lookout.. what in the hell are we doing?! I CAN'T BELIEVE there are STILL vile people cheering this on!

Hegseth to US military: if you get into MIT, we won't let you attend because of the risk that you will be exposed to ideas hostile to MAGA when you study there.

Hegseth is CONSTANTLY being thwarted down the entire chain of command by officers who know the law and refuse to obey illegal orders. He can't retaliate, either, or they'll blow the whistle on him and everyone involved. So he's ensuring the newest crop will be more tractable.

The SPD in 1930s Germany sounds very much like the Democratic Party today

“The number of billionaires grew, of course, roughly doubling between 2010 and 2024. But their political spending grew by more than 150 times.” www.nytimes.com/2026/02/11/o...

“When Citizens United was decided in 2010, billionaires had spent $18 million on the 2000 election, $13M 2004 and $16M in 2008. Then came the deluge. In 2012 it was $231M, and nearly doubled again in next three election cycles —to $682M in 2016, $1.2 billion in 2020 and $2.6 billion in 2024.” Gift:

easy slogan for the next democratic presidential candidate is “i will reform the corrupt supreme court and repeal citizens united”
