If they had understood your original post I think they wouldn't have gotten mad at you, and everything else is downstream from the fact that people can't admit they misunderstood something without incurring psychic damage.

It’s not normal that we should constantly want to throw up when we read the news.

Mind the auto-play: "Following the publication of letters written by detained children describing hunger, illness, and fear, federal agents reportedly conducted raids inside dormitories at the Dilley, Texas facility to confiscate those letters" Censoring children 🤬 www.meidasplus.com/p/tuesday-af...

LEFT: Someone who appears in the Epstein files over a million times. Epstein called him his "best friend." RIGHT: Someone never mentioned in the Epstein files—even once. And she never met him. So guess which one is being hauled before our corrupt, cover-upping Congress to testify about Epstein.

We can’t make the same mistakes we made with Obama and Biden. This country cannot afford it. We can’t keep voting for a Democrat, expecting impossible things and then don’t vote when they can’t deliver. We can’t have a repeat of the last 10 years. 1/

Any corrupt white male pedophile can run for office and win, but a black woman candidate must be perfect.

Today the Minnesota House gaveled into session for the first time since we lost Speaker Hortman, Mark, and Gilbert. In the spirit of Melissa, we commit to doing our work with humility, grace, and compassion.

Biden did all the things. Was defenestrated by his party. Voters deserted his successor. But Democrats will win the next 2 elections because the surest motivator of the base (& everybody else) is catastrophic loss AKA, Republicans in action. Not the threat, the reality. See 2008 & 2020.

Biden's IRA was one of the largest climate change bills in history, worldwide. Biden cancelled a shitton of people's student loan debt before he was stopped by a conservative SCOTUS and nobody even cared. Harris ran on the biggest expansion to Medicare in modern history and was met with crickets.

“As the airplane took off, Epstein started touching me forcibly in between my legs, and I freaked out. I realized, this is not a modeling opportunity, I've been kidnapped. They whisked me away to the island. I was stuck there. They never arranged any modeling opportunities, I was completely conned."

"When Lewandowski was told Noem's personal items had been left behind, including a heated blanket, he yelled at Coast Guard staff The pilot came out of cockpit to see what was happening & Lewandowski insisted plane return to collect Noem's items When he refused, Lewandowski announced he was fired"

Early voting in Texas starts tomorrow, February 17

If you wanna know what Dems are doing, and I hope you do, this week’s Doomerella Gets Schooled is a must watch (or read, there’s a transcript) Do you know who is calling the administration thugs? How about who’s trying to reverse the funding ICE has already gotten? Learn these stories and more!

Recent CBS News news: 1. Anderson Cooper leaves 60 Minutes after two decades 2. Stephen Colbert reveals network won’t let him air interview with Dem 3. Producer says politics dictating what airs 4. Owner’s bid for CNN parent back on the table. 5. Not firing Epstein pal.

Ees nyce tu bee married.

I just do not understand the idea that having to vote repeatedly is a harrowing commitment.

“HE’S VIOLATED SO MANY COURT ORDERS! I SHAN’T SPECIFY ANY! I AM VERY SMART!”

This is a long one, but please read the whole thing. There is a huge misunderstanding when it comes to bills, and it is making it incredibly hard for people to not feel doomed. Hopefully this explanation helps you take the really big deep breath you desperately need. 1/

🙄 Everyone wants a revolution but no one wants to do the dishes.

The number of STABBING SHOOTING pains women randomly just get in a given day and shrug off would cripple men.

if resistance liberalism is to change the democratic party, it cannot, cannot, cannot, cannot become associated with voting abstention the way the socialist left did

ProPublica received eight handwritten letters from children who have been held at the detention center that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was recently released from. We'll let their words speak for themselves.

White men will write fan fiction about Merrick Garland being to blame for everything, rather than go to therapy.

White people know how to gate keep to keep non cishet white people out of power. We have done it, factually, since our ancestors colonized Native land. That also means we know damn well how to keep a fascist felon out of power.... and are choosing otherwise.

Republicans: "I was just foolin'." Democrats: "I wasn't."

I can’t even with these people. 🤦🏻‍♀️

It blows me away people didn't think we were ready for VP Kamala Harris as President Yet AOC is ready to be President VP Kamala Harris is badass educated qualified and experienced White privilege is on both sides Don't be fooled I see you 👀

Can we stop saying the media is solely to blame for where we are as a country? We got here because of white people. I will not be taking questions at this time.

A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.   This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.   Not one dime for this cruelty. www.cbsnews.com/amp/chicago/...

What does that even *mean*? How did Biden trying to negotiate a ceasefire between two bad actors indicate anything about democracy? A year and a half later, and I still have no idea what the demands were exactly. This answer is for a certain lame of the internet and that’s about it.

Vibe. #bahamas

One other thing about “your vote is the most powerful thing in a democracy” is that it’s wrong. They believe withholding this vote gets them what they want when it’s much more powerful to vote for someone then raise hell when they don’t do what you want.

NYT: Trump secretly deported 9 migrants despite court orders to not remove them to their home nations. So, he sent them to prison in Cameroon: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/14/w...

So sick of hysterical foreigners telling us we’re fucked and we need to do something.

1. In an unusual press briefing today in AZ, Sec. Kristi Noem made the extraordinary (but vaguely delivered) claim that as head of DHS, she has authorities over elections, including to make sure that “the right people are voting and electing the right leaders to lead this country.” That is false.

LIT.

Jack Smith was sent a copy of Volume II to prepare for his testimony on the Hill, though he told Congress he didn't open it. So I think he has a copy, unless it was some kind of temporary access to a DOJ system like the DOJ Epstein Files computer terminals.

Fuck this guy.

Swarms of bots linked to IP addresses in Lanzhou, China are absolutely flooding the internet. An absolutely fascinating story from our Made in China newsletter this week, by @zeyiyang.bsky.social

This is a breathtaking article about the complete clown show at DHS being overseen by Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski (gift link)

Super psyched about this write up from Kirkus Reviews. The Great Dane is being beautifully received and I’m so grateful. And relieved. 🥰 www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews... #booksky #writercommunity #bookrecs

NEWS: Goldman Sachs’ top lawyer Kathryn Ruemmler has RESIGNED after newly released emails exposed a years-long personal relationship with Jeffrey Epstein — including advising him on handling sex crime accusations, media scrutiny, and accusers.

GALLEGO: Why is the agent who shot Renee Good holding a camera phone & weapon? LYONS: The US attorney was requiring to have video leading up to arrests, so officials have used phones for that GALLEGO: Maybe you shouldn't be trying to be an influencer and wielding a weapon at the same time

Breaking WSJ: The highly classified whistleblower complaint against Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is related to a conversation intercepted last spring in which two foreign nationals discussed Jared Kushner, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter.

“Since I got to this center all you will feel is sadness and mostly depression.” These are the words of a 14-year-old held in an immigration detention center. Trump is spending your tax dollars keeping kids like Ariana in detention, not lowering costs.

Howard Lutnick misled the American people about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein because he didn't want to admit he continued interacting with Epstein even AFTER Epstein was convicted of soliciting a minor.   It's a disgrace. Lutnick needs to resign as Secretary of Commerce.

Thank you, Senate Dems.

Can’t wait to see how lefties frame this as Schumer caving.

BREAKING on MS NOW: A federal judge has ruled Pete Hegseth can't penalize Sen. Mark Kelly over that video telling service members they can refuse illegal orders. Judge Richard Leon blocked the disciplinary action after finding an effort to cut his retirement benefits was likely unconstitutional.

Gov. Tim Walz: "They left us with deep damage. Generational trauma. Economic ruin in some cases. The left us with many unanswered questions. Where are our children? Where and what is the process of the investigation into those that were responsible for the deaths of Renee and Alex?"
