A day later and no major national news org has covered what they're doing in Kansas. This is the flip side of the hyper focus on trans issues by the right. The national media ignores what's actually being done to trans people. This erasure is what contributes to the persecution.

BREAKING: Columbia President Claire Shipman says DHS agents entered a residential buliding this morning and detained a student. "Our understanding at this time is that the federal agents made misrepresentations to gain entry to the building to search for a 'missing person.'"

For the many Platner fans here, Peters is a white supremacist, Holocast denying / antisemetic, virulently anti-trans anti-gay right-wing influencer. There's no lack of people making similar points that Platner could be reading and promoting who are not nazis.

I keep seeing a guy at work that can only be described as Tall Josh Gad.

'IT ENDS TODAY': A federal judge in NJ says the Trump admin has continued to violate court orders in immigration cases and says he's prepared to haul in DOJ and DHS officials under oath. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This is what I need cis folks to understand. It's been a decade. Imagine living TEN FUCKING YEARS watching as a blatant, artificial campaign to erase your personhood, your identity and your safety chugs along, increasing in power every single day, and most people don't care or dismiss it

Fuck this and everyone who helped get things to this point. Trans rights are human rights—full stop.

This also reminds me that Border Patrol has a history of using deadly force when they *hear* rocks being thrown because rocks were considered deadly weapons in internal Border Patrol policies.

Cops, "we're putting our lives on the line every day and every night. You just don't understand how dangerous it is!" Also cops *get hit by snowballs in a scene straight out of Elf, will not stop fucking overreacting* Seriously just stfu already, you whiney assholes.

If you're gonna be giant fucking babies about it, unable to take a snowball, then FIND ANOTHER JOB. Your job is not risk free. If you can't handle snow... Calm the fuck down and have some perspective, she says to the least emotionally intelligent men alive.

There is nothing more dangerous than a cop who has been slightly disrespected.

More from Kelly Pannek: "With the phone call specifically, it's not surprising, to be frank. So, I don't know why we expect differently? But I think for us it's also just about getting back to the focus on our team and what our team accomplished... dominant hockey."

Frost forward and U.S. Olympian Kelly Pannek: "I would love to talk more about how great our team was, how close we were, how special the group was."

Honestly, Minnesotans are tough but we shouldn’t have to be THIS tough or this KIND OF tough. We shouldn’t be Defeat The American Government tough. We should be Talk Shit About Iowa and Wisconsin tough. Ice fishing tough. Manage Our Feelings On Vikings Quarterbacks tough. Not this.

There is a direct line from the US Men’s Hockey Team’s actions and Michael Hayes’s comments about Chelsea Green on Unreal. In this essay I will . . .

I just worry my mutuals don't think enough about Marisa Tomei

I think about her a lot because of this

Again!? Fucking hell these people are monsters.

A guy at work said during a pot luck that he and his wife are flying from North Dakota to Savannah, Georgia to attend the two-day Jelly Roll/Kid Rock festival. What do you even say to something like that?

He was never happier than when he was with Brigitte Nielsen.

JUST IN: Judge Murphy has ruled that the Trump administration's policy of sending deported immigrants to third countries without notice or a chance to challenge is illegal and unconstitutional. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Again, there is a world of bullshit that I have no contact with.

Please block that garbage content aggregator if you haven’t yet. Even when the Tennessee Holler isn’t lying, they’re stealing from actual journalists, and they have no accountability.

A way to rephrase that would be, America should be about progress. Moving forward. Improving everyone’s lives. Democracy means we are all in a constant state a founding the country we will become. What we know and believe now matters more than anything they thought 250 years ago.

Truly. Those motherfuckers were even dumber and more bigoted than we are now.

Maybe someday the Timberwolves will hold onto a lead in the third quarter. Maybe.

I spent years as a county prosecutor. I'm also a victim of childhood sexual abuse, rape, and sex trafficking by my own father and the men he sold me to. So when I read this NYT op-ed wringing its hands about the Epstein files release, I had some quick *thoughts.* 🧵 1/x

A new bill suggests a series of changes to the state criminal code, teacher licensing requirements, mandatory reporter training and school field trip requirements, all aimed at preventing grooming.

Now more than ever, if you are a man in a room with only men, you really need to ask yourself why. And probably get out of there.

Before, I would post something like “Are all these writers in a group chat where they decide to publish the same take at the same time?” Now we know the answer is pretty much yes.

TLDR: There is an exception to the Federal Tort Claims Act that prohibits lawsuits arising out of the failure to deliver mail. That includes intentionally not delivering the mail, regardless of the reason.

I wrote about the Epstein files and what they tell us about men in academia. In a field where climbing the career ladder is only possible through a combination of luck, mentorship and networking — the files show the ways sexism and misogyny still hold women back. 19thnews.org/2026/02/epst...

If you’re looking to show your support for the Team USA women’s hockey win our red, white and blue "Good Game, Good Game, Fuck You" tee is hitting all the right notes right about now, if you ask me. 🖕🤳 breakingt.com/spain

Men will talk to their car instead of going to therapy.

I’ll add that we should read each and every one of these essays with an assumption that anyone defending systemic abuse participated in systemic abuse. Because defending the system is a form of participating in it.

A lot of the elite consensus around Epstein (which will likely be most legible in opinion essays) will of course boil down to the idea that no one should be held responsible for the systemic sexual abuse of women and girls. That was also the elite consensus around MeToo, enforced through pop culture

A senior academic pulled me aside at a conference once to tell me that I would never publish in sociology because I wrote a thread defending victims of a high-profile abuser sociologist during the height of #MeToo. I’m thinking about that today.

Masterful Troll, TCM.

I need to address this immediately, because I am WAY too Minnesotan to ever claim credit for this. I built a thing to point the fire hose of people's generosity in the right direction. That's it. I am thankful for the piece, because hopefully it means people will donate more money.

One of the messages I see most on social media is some variant of: “no one cares as much as you do.” Living in Minnesota through the ICE occupation has taught me that it’s untrue. It honestly might have been disinformation the whole time.

The feeling of having known something to be true, deep within your very being, only to have it confirmed as such. There's just nothing like it: defector.com/jeffrey-epst...

Assert dominance by putting your earbuds in as someone begins to tell you a story.

love when democrats talk about kitchen table issues as if trans people and immigrants don’t have kitchen tables 🙃

Now listening
