They are not the brightest bulbs, but I think they know. Part of their bargain for power is kowtowing to the delusions of The Dear Leader.

Oh, of COURSE the Nigerian scammers have branched out into using AI. Soon we will all be living in the matrix, I guess, where nothing is real.

The 79-year-old president appeared to be struggling to stay awake as others spoke at his inaugural meeting of the so-called “Board of Peace.”

At least easier to tear down later than statues, arches, or ballrooms. 😑

The Brits woke up today and chose justice.

More winning.

President Mob Boss needs to skim a percentage off of every “public service.”

Pushing coal production was not enough environmental destruction. Now Trump is boosting RoundUp.

Not that the platform had a great rep before, but this really tears it.

In the country from which we demanded liberty, declaring a republic by the people and beholden to no rule by divine right, they can arrest a prince. In this so-called republic, now 250 years old and imploding, the president has been declared immune from prosecution. The American Revolution failed.

Must be nice

What a good boy!

I kind of vaguely recall an American model agency owner who was often in the headlines during 2016...I think there was even some reporting about his having a relationship with a Jeffrey Epstein, too...I wonder if it was the same Epstein?

So that’s what they need all the warehouses for.

It would be really helpful if someone would lay out the stages of the various immigration processes where DHS is now choosing to detain rather than to release (or deport). To make the case that someone in the government really really just wants to lock people up. Because that's what it seems like.

OMG, DHS just keeps escalating. Not another cent for them!

Outstanding. Moore is a leader. I’m not sure the Dear Leader is lying, as his deep and arrogant ignorance may be a complete explanation, but he is most certainly wrong. AS USUAL.

You don’t hate to see it. 😁

😣

This is both correct and disappointing. 😑

Alternate headline: “47% lie to pollsters”

Pritzger was absolutely right about “what comes next.”

I’m speculating here, but mid March was almost certainly leaked as a diversion. I seriously doubt they’re just going to park those AWACS, Growlers, and F-22s in the Middle East for a month, along with two carrier strike groups (one on an extended deployment).

Maybe they could pay for some of the utility expansions for their data centers that are vastly increasing our home utility costs?

Thank you @chuckwendig.bsky.social for Gentle Writing Advice. I needed to be reminded that I love writing more than I dread rejection -- and that there are ways to deal with the latter without breaking into pieces. Now, I can pick up the quill again with my mind at peace.

“SECRETLY”

The Fox News chyron reads "Latest Dem hoax" at the same time that Brendan Carr confirms that yes, the FCC would've "enforced the law" and gone after CBS had Colbert aired his interview with Talarico on TV

The Ash Wednesday procession through the Chicago suburb of Melrose Park from Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church - honoring immigrants, immigration detainees and those killed by ICE & Border Patrol - has begun. Chicago Archbishop and Cardinal Blase Cupich is near the head of the march.

Trump is really looking out for us Little People.

EO 13848 - Trump's "Foreign Interference" emergency order, renewed thru Sept 2026 - is the most underappreciated election disruption instrument in play. IEEPA + undefined "interference" + functionally unreviewable presidential discretion = major threat scenario. www.patreon.com/posts/means-...

Mr. Darwin referred to this paradigm as "thinning the herd." In this regard, however, the process will be insufficient to protect the citizenry at large.

This is criminally prosecutable behavior—if we had an actual JUSTICE Department.

Glad to see this. The people of the U.S. have had ENOUGH of this war on immigrants.

😣

EXACTLY THIS.

Why would Matt be so eager for teachers to be fired, that would leave young students without guidance or supervision and oooooohhhh

I ❤️ this so much!

😱

Hegseth has made clear that he thinks he’s on a modern day crusade.

Ted Lieu: “Donald Trump is in the Epstein files thousands and thousands of times. In those files, there are highly disturbing allegations of Donald Trump raping children … of Donald Trump threatening to kill children. So I encourage the press to go look at these allegations.”

😳 I guess this means the attack on Iran is now imminent.

8 paragraphs before any indication that this was a total perversion of justice. And what is this phrase doing there: "Other administrations might never have opened an investigation into the lawmakers to begin with..."? "MIGHT"? It's madness. There's nothing close. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/18/u...

It is a vile scandal that 2 of the biggest AI companies in the world attack children by inciting them to self-harm, and by generating sexually exploitative imagery of kids for profit. I wanted to document this so that people in tech will stop saying they don't know: www.anildash.com/2026/02/18/t...

More fodder for impeachment trials after the Rs lose control of Congress.

All libertarians are full of it, in the end.

We are all doomed to pay for AI data centers whether we want them or not. We will absolutely NOT share in the profits generated by AI usage, though, will we?

We really need to reclaim control from sociopathic billionaires and their algorithms.

"'Colorado has rejected the values of Palantir – the values of an economy built on exploitation of people’s data, whether it’s for warfare or for immigration enforcement,' said former Palantir employee Juan Sebastian Pinto."
