#Paradise & This Is Us have the same daddy, in case you didn't know. That's why they emotionally abuse us similarly.

Very appreciative of my boss reminding us that we have sick and sad days to use with everything that’s going on in the world. Working for a neurodivergent Black woman has done wonders for my mental health.

What if there was a mindful way to steal people’s art, pollute Black neighborhoods, and raise everyone’s electric bill?

They support violence and wars of conquest, but with better optics. They want that veneer of a "clean" and "just" war. This is what gives us the language of "precision munitions" and "surgical strikes" and "legal memos". It's horrifying. They should all rot in hell.

Procedural liberalism on display. We support the murder of innocents, the immoral and demonic violence, but the President didn't fill out the right paperwork. The same logic that calls for higher police training budgets and more diversity among prison guards. Polishing the bars of the cage.

If I reshare something that’s AI. Tell me. I’m correctable. I won’t crash out on you.

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

Everyone in a tizzy because they can see the chaos, really. Not because it's happening. Everyone just wants to live their lives blissfully unaware, you know, the American way. It's the AWARENESS that's upsetting y'all, not the acts.

“I’m a firm believer that if we eat better, we do better and we can live better,” says Taylor, 66, on a hot sunny day last fall. “Those things come along hand in hand. In our community here, it’s a struggle to eat well.”

Never gets old, man

Pink said this is news to her. Her kids are 9 and 14. I imagine they/their friends got this news too. Being famous sucks.

Welp

Trump love people who got motion 😭

BREAKING: Protests have erupted at Columbia University after the school says DHS agents detained a student after making "misrepresentations to gain entry" to building.

1. Numerous transgender people in Kansas are reporting that the state has sent them a letter demanding the immediate surrender of drivers licenses. Those driving could be arrested, charged, and see privileges revoked. Subscribe to support our journalism. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...

One would think that this would merit an emergency convening of all Blue state governors, Attorneys generals and Congressional representatives. It's a declaration of war on one state which means they'll do it to others too.

This is why people really need to stop drawing artificial lines between cops and ICE and drop the training/bodycam bullshit. It's all the same system of state violence, repression, and white supremacy. All of it.

Patiently waiting on the return of the food vendors that post up after school so I can get some mango with chamoy and tajin.

The vampire after biting me because I’m filled to the brim with chamoy and tajin:

We’re endorsing @robertpeters.bsky.social for Congress. From leading Illinois to become the first state to end cash bail, to serving as the Chair of the Senate Labor Committee, Robert has fought tirelessly for working families across Illinois.

This is cool as hell: An app designed to ping people about nearby smartglasses. Also cool: The creator was inspired by @404media.co coverage, a great illustration of why their journalism is so essential. This kind of work is funded by paid subscribers so become one of those if you can.

The classic PBS children’s show Reading Rainbow is officially back, with the series securing a 24-episode pickup.

Little acts of rebellion coming to a fascist empire near you!

Hello, Chicago folks! I'm working on a story for @theprogressivemag.bsky.social on unhoused people who shelter on or near CTA facilities. If you do any homeless outreach at CTA stations, bus stops, or elsewhere in the city, or know those who do, I'd love to chat!

Behold, an effective campaign ad

One of the things that personally drives me crazy in the U.S. is how youth sports/athletic activities went from a part of the public good (municipal leagues and fields! rec centers! public parks!) to a privatized, expensive, highly competitive, highly structured pursuit for wealthy kids’ résumés

Fuck. Hey Alabama friends.

NEWS: Meta is about to start a $65 million midterms push — its biggest political effort in its 20 years in business. Meta is standing up two super PACs that this week will drop money in races in Texas and Illinois to push A.I. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/18/t...

Southaven, Mississippi, residents have voiced concerns for months over the noise and pollution emanating from the 114-acre site that is largely hidden from public view—a site xAI is looking to expand.

That's 18 yo college freshman Jesse Jackson on the left & the seven hs students he organized for a silent sit-in at a segregated library. "Although Greenville was not the first library system to integrate in SC, it was the first to do so as a result of public demonstrations by the Black community."

Spent today talking to just a few of the Black women who credit Jesse Jackson with their start in national politics. By inviting them in, he ensured they would help shape democracy for years to come. My latest on the coalition he built as part of his towering legacy: 19thnews.org/2026/02/jess...

Haven’t played in awhile, but I got through Fourth Chorus and made it to Greymoor.

Jet’s hit me up about heart-shaped pizzas today, and yes, the text worked.

Y’all, look at what the ceviche restaurant “Las Gaviotas” located in Peru did! 😭😂🙌🏼
