call me old fashioned but I think it is Bad when an active duty officer who works in the pentagon tweets like a fucking school shooter

His Chain of Command should recognize this as suicidal ideation and conduct an immediate welfare visit and ensure he has no access to weapons or capacity to harm friends, family, pets, or neighbors. They don't actually care about him, though, so

Man, I didn’t think there was a way for this story to get dumber but… “DoD loaned the high-energy laser weapon to DHS, who promptly shot down some mylar balloons with it without telling anyone, resulting in the FAA closing airspace and disrupting air travel nationwide” …sure did the trick

SDOB printer go BRRRRRRRRRR

DoD: we’re going to test this high powered laser FAA: can u promise to not accidentally laser any commercial airliners DoD: no FAA: … DoD: … FAA: goddammit

Wow you're telling me the Secretary of Hangovers declared a boundary-violating blackout zone and then had to talk it back when someone sober woke up and asked him about it?

And just like that, FAA be like “JUST KIDDING, NOTHING TO SEE HERE FOLKS, CARRY ON”

CNN aviation reporter says (via “a source briefed by FAA”) it is military operations at Fort Bliss and I gotta say that sounds like 110% bullshit.

Poster is an El Paso City Council Rep:

The NOTAM also includes Biggs Army Airfield at Fort Bliss and (according to the attached article) is also in effect for rotary wing aircraft to include MEDEVAC and law enforcement helos. elpasomatters.org/2026/02/11/u...

The “halts flights at El Paso Airport” headline kinda undersells it: it’s not a ground stop, it’s a 10-mile radius TFR, oh and there’s a similar one over Santa Teresa, NM (same time period, to Feb 20th) tfr.faa.gov/tfr3/?page=d...

…what www.nytimes.com/2026/02/11/u...

Here's what DHS doesn't want you to know: Working for ICE is one of the safest jobs in America — and last year was the second-safest year for the agency on record. And the doxxing? It hasn't actually happened even once. The masks are justified by a lie. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ice-s-mask...

It is absolutely outrageous that Moderna’s flu vaccine was met with a “refusal-to-file” even after their approved their protocol with FDA and carried out the trial as agreed. This vaccine works better in older adults than the current flu vaccines. apnews.com/article/mode...

well gosh, when you say it all at once like that it sounds BAD

Wait. The speed skater from NLD is engaged to JAKE PAUL … ???

And, again, the agent-doxxed-and-then-attacked scenario the masks ostensibly are intended to prevent has never actually occurred. www.pbump.net/o/ices-excus...

Throughout this clip, Rep. Steil says over and over again that masking wouldn't be necessary if local governments cooperated with ICE. But that's nonsense. ICE is masking even in red states, even in places where there are 287(g) agreements, and even hiding their faces in photos taken at prisons!

SecDef’s speech to yard workers at GD-BIW is laser-focused on shipbuilding and challenges facing the defense industrial base

Delete the entire department, let the chips fall where they may, anyone employed by DHS* as of, say, 1 July 2025 or after gets blacklisted to an extent that would make Joe McCarthy blush *less USCG, FEMA, CISA, … maybe TSA

I know I had this whole discussion yesterday about “yes dissolve DHS but there should also be a plan for where to put the still-useful fed LE bits” …but every day I get closer to “fuck it, delete the whole thing on Jan 20 2029, let whatever balls drop idc”

Amongst other things, this again highlights the core point about due process. It’s bad enough to be in a “show me your papers” situation, but your precious citizen/non-citizen, “legal”/“illegal” distinctions are meaningless when you can’t prove anything to authorities because they don’t give a shit.

*Green card application in process and work permit, married to US citizen *Lived in US for 20 years, no criminal record *In detention for five months with no charge, despite judge approving release *He disputes ICE claim that he signed forms agreeing to deportation

Bad Bunny: I know artists who use subtext and they're all cowards Fox News: we suspect there might have been a political message in there

Ah, government sponsored healthy eating ads calling Americans fat and ugly, brought to you by a convicted rapist.

Winter Olympics commercial the best one so far tbh

only three god damn field goals, these commercials are ass this bad bunny opener sucks

we all WISH we hadn’t seen it, but yeah

If I wanted to watch an SEC game my ancestors would not have bayonetted so many confederates.

how the fuck is anyone supposed to eat that while watching a football game

White House Aide Fired After Telling JD Vance About Super Bowl Party

Everyone rushing to share their hot take on Lindsey Vonn might as well lead with “I didn’t actually WATCH it but…” (she hit a gate with her arm, spun, & crashed—nothing to do with her knee)

Absolutely brutal. All of it. @mattfutterman.bsky.social with the immediate story from Cortina. www.nytimes.com/athletic/703...

When Republicans do it / When Democrats do it

“Our opposition must be relentless. Our greatest weapon is our vote. Register new voters, educate your neighbors and mobilize for a massive turnout. The ballot box is where we end this state-sponsored cruelty and reclaim our future.”

“Late Friday night, the Fifth Circuit adopted the extreme minority view—that the government can indefinitely detain without bond millions of non-citizens who have been here for generations; who have never committed a crime; and who pose neither a risk of flight nor any threat to public safety.”

Avoidance, hypervigilance (+ in the quoted post, nightmares and flashbacks) are classic PTS symptoms. They go away with time, but for folks participating in this sort of rapid response activity I would recommend talking with a therapist.

“the Guard is a lousy tool for fixing gun crime” indeed

So, first of all, of course it was Trump. But even if they were telling the truth, "We give staffers who post videos of the Obamas as apes access to the agenda-setting, decree-sending, market-moving account of the president of the United States" is not the exculpatory statement they think it is.

Why are they all kitted out like they’re about to raid a fucking meth lab what happened to a couple dudes in suits or windbreakers

Lindsey Vonn: Age? 41 Right knee? titanium Left knee? who needs an ACL anyway Still going to compete Olympic downhill skiing this weekend? Of course she is, why would u even ask

I want to reiterate that this shit is nuts. A federal invasion of state-run elections, an intelligence community invasion of federal law enforcement, a White House invasion of a criminal investigation, and a president’s insane treasonable sore loser obsession all rolled up and muddled together.

Detroit now paying Skubal $32M in addition to the $38M/year they just signed Valdez for www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/...

“the Guard is a lousy tool for fixing gun crime” is going to echo in my head all day

Not The Onion (but excellent satire nonetheless)

Deploying the military for a vaguely-defined mission with no clear definition of success or end state is … inefficient and expensive? 🫢 YOU DON’T SAY
