I told my wife about this and she said “didn’t you already tell me about this” and like…that was someone else a week ago in Minnesota. It’s happening in multiple places.

Inevitably, their affair ended: Howard worried excessively about what the pack would think, and Agnes simply ate the flowers.

It seems like a pretty basic rule that no training should suggest that employees speaking to customers say that suicide is "one option." www.govexec.com/management/2...

Roses are red, These times are quite trying

Democracy is when voters choose their leaders. Autocracy is when leaders choose their voters.

Trash, recycling and food waste collection will be on the regular schedule next week. Yard waste is cancelled as Monday, February 16 is a holiday.

What the congressman reports below is disgusting. He reveals the utter lack of decency and humanity in the Trump administration, especially in the telling detail at the end.

Tiny (~275sq/ft) yet clean and safe studio apartment near Clarendon in Arlington becoming available in 2 weeks for $1,250/mo. I'd love to find a friend to fill it. Anyone interested?

Man, I'm really not sure this guy should be given the glossy NYT treatment? youtu.be/wprWGdfXxnQ?...

SCOOP: Social Security workers are being told to give the details of appointments customers are making to ICE, raising the prospect of secret police abducting people going to mandatory SSA appointments. @zoeschiffer.bsky.social, @telliotter.bsky.social, and @leahfeiger.bsky.social have more.

20+ hrs after the Trump admin was supposed to disburse $200M withheld from the Hudson River tunnel project, “there is no sign of a wire transfer of any money,” the NJ and NY AGs say in a new filing, requesting an emergency status conference this afternoon storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Just saw a cybertruck out the window from eight floors up, and I hope no one was walking past the office when I flipped it off. For civil servants, that’s gonna be a lifelong grudge, I suspect. Every new tesla may as well have that shithead with his two hats on the side.

Sewage is dumping into the Potomac again because a giant clump of non-flusable wipes broke the pumps that were pumping sewage away from the broken pipe that caused the initial leak. Stop flushing wipes, I swear to god

Shortly after an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Good, right-wing media seized on a story that could reset the narrative. DHS said an immigrant attacked federal officers with a shovel, and the story was everywhere in MAGA media. The case has since fallen apart & prosecutors just dropped the charges.

POV you are about to lose at Guess Who

I wonder what put the holes in Theo Vonn’s ideas? Long-time nitrous user, perhaps?

They only have strut

The waiter: And what would you like today young man? My two year old:

“ICE is an affront to Torah.” Hundreds of rabbis, cantors, and Jewish leaders turned out to a massive protest outside ICE headquarters in Washington DC. Organized by @truahrabbis.bsky.social and Bend the Arc, it was the largest-ever Jewish faith protest against ICE. Watch highlights below:

I’m not a lawyer but I used to be a baseball blogger, so… This woman was not prepared to burn down this building, it is clear. She may have wanted to, but she could not have, under the circumstances. Makes it a misdemeanor, imo. Again, my legal expertise is I was a baseball blogger.

The scariest thing that happens on Friday the 13th? Billionaires cheat the system and avoid paying their fair share in taxes.

This is the good kind of not-in-my-backyard. Leave solar and wind projects alone, and focus on this instead NIMBYs.

No true bill.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but rampant voter fraud is and always has been a myth. It’s a tool and a macguffin. If you believe it you are being bamboozled. Even the folks touting it NEVER EVER SHOW EVIDENCE.

top 5 dog activity is when they vomit and then, with perfect frictionless incomprehension, are like "oooh hell yeah free snack"

Be careful, folks. ICE is still out there, circling the schools this morning. Even if this withdrawal is happening over the next week, some of the agents want to get their last bit of being shitheads in.

"The head of the highest-funded federal law enforcement agency in US history lied-- outright lied-- to Congress yesterday, and no one seemed to notice or care. No one that is, except a local television journalist in Colorado....."

36%, I heard Nixon called and said “keep it up, see you soon”.

Clay Travis: “The so-called Epstein victims…”🤔 FRANKLIN, TN-based Clay Travis refers to the survivors as ‘SO-CALLED’ @mikenellis.bsky.social : “This is embarrassing for you.” @isaiahrmartin.bsky.social : “Wow.”

If you're currently a student at a college with a faculty member who showed up in the Epstein files, I'd like to talk to you about the campus response for an article. You can reach me at [email protected] or millionbear.44 on Signal.

BREAKING: Judge Nancy Brasel, a Trump appointee, has issued a TRO in the Minnesota access-to-counsel case about treatment at Whipple. "It appears that in planning for Operation Metro Surge, the government failed to plan for the constitutional rights of its civil detainees."

Yesterday, hundreds of Jews took to the streets across the country in historic #JewsAgainstICE protests. We sounded shofars and sang. We demanded that ICE leave our communities. We stood for our immigrant neighbors and loved ones. And we called attention to corporations that enable ICE. 🧵

here is @ggwash.org’s testimony on the Starter and Silver Homes Act, which will make it easier to build more affordably-priced homes across the state. there’s also a form where you can ask your delegates and senator to support this bill. it only takes a few minute! ggwash.org/view/102355/...

🚨BODY CAM BOMBSHELL "Do something b*tch!" Border Patrol agent says as they target U.S. citizen Marimar Martinez's vehicle. Despite BP claim they shot her 5x in self defense, one agent is seen w/ his finger preemptively on trigger—another aiming gun. "Time to get aggressive!"⬇️

A top Democrat is calling for a watchdog investigation after photographs emerged suggesting that the DOJ has been tracking the search history of lawmakers who are reviewing the Epstein files.

Beth Rubin, 67, said she attended because she sees ICE on a path toward what her family fled in the 1930s. "What is happening today to immigrants, to citizens, to innocent people...to the undocumented and the documented is very similar to what happened then." www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
