Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

VENEZUELA DEFEATS THE UNITED STATES TO TAKE HOME THEIR FIRST WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC CHAMPIONSHIP 🇻🇪🏆

We hear “stick to sports” too much, but let’s be clear here: Team USA itself refused to stick to sports, eschewing representation of so much great American culture for, uh, Da Troops and nothing else.

If FIFA did, for some reason, regularly give out a Peace Prize, you’d think #1 on the list of criteria for potential winners would be “do not start a war with another nation in the World Cup, directly before the start of the World Cup”

New: A comedian set up a fake ICE tip line as a joke. Then 100 calls flooded in: neighbors ratting on neighbors, a teacher reporting a kindergartener. Fans say the viral TikToks revealed deportation's "banality of evil." Conservatives say he should be in prison wapo.st/4kM4qbF

Stephen Colbert said that the FCC and CBS - which is in no way a compromised or complicit organization - wouldn’t allow him to broadcast an interview with Democratic State Rep James Talarico. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/17/a...

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE: "I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

Drake's second worst Super Bowl ever

Yeah spicy Stefon Diggs who chokes and punches his chef

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

Everything moves so fast now. It's impossible to give every event the care and attention it deserves, especially when the bar is "at least no one died." But what happened in Portland outside the ICE building was evidence of yet another escalation—and a terrifying harbinger of things to come.

Bad Bunny: Before I say thanks to God, I'm going to say, ICE out. We're not savages, we're not animals, we're not aliens. We are humans, and we are Americans.

"Every day, I wake up and see the news and I'm horrified. I think it is crazy that some people make it sound like it's acceptable, like the murder of civilians is acceptable." - Victor Wembanyama says about the killings in Minnesota Via DonHarris4/X

Ta-Nehisi Coates: With the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, "Trump has clarified an inconvenient fact—the culture war is an actual war"

Let’s be clear: anyone defending the Trump Administration after watching masked, anonymous agents assault a man, pepper spray him, then fire 5+ rounds into his back is irretrievably complicit in political terrorism.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

I’ve started using the term “ethnic cleansing campaign” to describe the ICE occupation here in Minnesota. This is deliberate because the reality on the ground is that, at a given moment, any non-white person can be kidnapped by masked federal paramilitaries regardless of their constitutional rights.

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan. A citizen. Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold. "We're from the United States bro!' he screamed. Agents took and sold his phone And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

"It's shameful that the government can come out and lie about what happened when there's video and witnesses who have all come out and disputed what the government is saying." Warriors coach Steve Kerr was asked about the ICE shooting in Minneapolis. Here are his full comments:

Reminder: ICE has a budget bigger than most militaries around the world. It has increased its spending on weapons by 700% since Trump took office. Trump is building his own personal military to terrorize American cities, trample on civil rights, and intimidate his opponents.

Here's the ICE agent "defending himself" by shooting into the driver's side window of a car that's pulling *away* from him. Put this photo on the front page of every newspaper in America.

The committee clearly understood what America wanted, and that was more of Ty Simpson averaging 3.2 yards a reception in the second half of a blowout loss

THREAD: Judge Ellis is the first federal judge to review extensive body cam video of DHS's actions in Chicago. She finds that DHS *repeatedly* misled the public and made claims that were disproven by agents' own videos. I'll go through some of the most egregious ones here.

this is the correct way to react to anything the president says-

Remember the immigration raid on the apartment complex in Chicago almost two months ago? The one with the Black Hawk helicopter and federal agents rappelling on ropes? @ProPublica decided to take a deeper look. We found little evidence to support the government’s claims. 🧵

$170B for ICE and Border Patrol $40B for Argentina $1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet $230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation" $200M for Kristi Noem's jets $98M for Trump's golf outings But no money to lower your healthcare costs.

Thinking about how Cal Raleigh—a quiet guy!—said two years ago ownership had to get serious. And how everyone wanted them to get Suarez, but we all thought they’d wouldn’t actually do it. And then they did. And tonight he did that. One more.

HAHAHHAHAH FUCK YOU BUTKER, IF ONLY YOU KNEW SOMEONE WHO COULD TEACH YOU HOW TO NOT USE YOUR HIPS AND ALSO YOU WEREN’T A REGRESSIVE EVANGELICAL FUCKFACE

LOL the first few seconds of this are pure chaotic joy and it's perfect.

Can you think of a single movie in which there is a video from the government denouncing its political opponents playing on a loop in public spaces in which that government was the good guy?

At least Jalen Hurts’ inaccurate throw was to the correct target, which is more than the Phillies pitcher can say

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Overnight, Trump and Republicans in Congress shut down the federal government. They shut it down because they’re determined to strip healthcare from millions of Americans, to enrich the billionaires they serve, to continue the assault on our rights. We must fight back.

SIXTY home runs for Cal Raleigh

I don’t think it’s dramatic to say that the Mariners sweeping the Astros is one of the biggest series wins they’ve ever pulled off. What a squad.

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

Weird that the FCC Chair had no issue with Kilmeade wanting to euthanize homeless people.

wrote on charlie kirk for the newsletter this weekend

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man. Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent. We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate. My latest piece.

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.
