🔥SULLIVAN COUNTY WOMAN: “You’re being bullied?? I’ve got a bigger dick than all of y’all!” CROWD: “SHAME! SHAME!” In (very red 👀) East TN folks showed up 💪🏽 to oppose 2 resolutions re: taking ICE money for immigration enforcement. They passed. Full: www.wjhl.com/news/local/s...

this is bullshit. His claims are based on crimes he committed that if he hadn't been elected to a second term, he would have gone to trial. He was IMPEACHED for one. The media doesn't mention that, but quotes him and his ridiculous defense as if it's real and reasonable. www.npr.org/2026/02/18/n...

Once again, I am promising Democrats there are literally thousands of former department of justice people who will crawl over broken glass to prosecute this administration given the chance

Before we admit any Republican back into the country after traveling overseas, they must be vetted for their loyalty to the Constitution. Trump's entire cabinet would be landlocked.

“Illiberal governments tend to live or die by their ability to sustain corruption. They rely for support on a network of oligarchs, who in turn are tied to the administration’s success. It happened in Hungary, Turkey, Russia and increasingly, it is happening here.” www.nytimes.com/2026/02/18/o...

Any political party spreading lies about voter fraud as a pretext to make it harder for every one to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone. Remember this.

Another way to make life more affordable is by helping Illinoisans earn more. And one of those determinants is getting a good education that leads to a good-paying job. Never has getting a post-secondary degree been more important, but it’s historically too damned expensive.

I guess child labor would help make America great again?

Aside from the fact that property taxes are state taxes, Trump is ticking up his already almost perpetual stream of lies to capture the any vote by any means necessary. They don;t care how stupid these statements make them look if it gets the stupid ones to the polls.

Rev. Jesse Jackson was a giant of the civil rights movement. He broke down barriers, inspired generations, and kept hope alive. Our state, nation, and world are better due to his years of service. I’m ordering flags to half-mast to honor him. May his memory be a blessing.

It's only a democracy if we can keep it. If you haven't been paying attention, start now. This isn't one we can mail in. Our presence is required.

get the kid in the brown hoodie a scholarship

We can’t trust anything coming out of this administration. It’s getting tiresome.

During her 11 months as the de facto leader of the U.S. Agency for Global Media, Kari Lake has wasted millions of dollars and done profound damage to America’s foreign broadcasters, and to America’s ability to communicate with the world www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted child sex trafficker, gets gardening time, sports, therapy dogs, and spa products in prison. Migrant children in custody are sleeping on concrete floors without enough food or clean water. Our priorities are so fucked.

It's also part of a very direct negation of the latest stupid tweet by Musk: people have given so much, two of them their lives, to defend a multicultural city and the rights of people not exactly like them. And that multiculturalism is American culture.

listen to this bullshit

This how you isolate and capture "the worst of the worst" of these dangerous immigrants. You show yourself to be in need of help, and the worst criminals reveal themselves and their criminality by doing whatever they can to provide you with help. Masterful law enforcement.

I'll take Frederick Douglass over Elon Musk

not voting got us trump and all this chaos and disaster

Reading American history will break your heart a thousand times but it will also fill you with such admiration and awe for all the people who were excluded from the protection of America’s founding principles and fought to promote, protect and expand them anyways

Barack Obama almost never jumps into the chaos. The fact that he’s speaking out now — repeatedly and urgently — is a warning. Something is deeply wrong. America needs to listen.

This paper is a good example of how to carefully analyze tipping systems. (That many phenomena often lumped together as singular tipping systems are actually composites is probably a common characteristic.) Track carefully the extent to which this precision gets flattened in mass and social media.

tough read. wow. alot of respected authors...not anymore

Reports published today indicate that Russell Vought, who played a central and direct role in the dismantling and defunding of USAID is using $15 million of those same funds to pay for his personal security detail. This is the most corrupt administration in U.S. history, hands down.

Personally, I would have addressed him as something more 'colorful' than "Sir" in my answer.

"From the first moment a soldier is issued a rifle, they are taught a principle so basic it becomes instinct: Know what’s beyond your target." The problem here is it wasn't soldiers who did this: lnk.thebulwark.com/4659MsH

Rep. Jamie Raskin: "I think the whole country got to see what extraordinary disrespect the Attorney General of the United States of America has for the rule of law."

Around the world, politicians and businessmen are resigning from their positions because of the Epstein Files. Except in the United States. Here: Zero shame, zero consequences. We need resignations, investigations, impeachments, and punishments now. Should have been years ago.

it's disgusting! Are they really building it? Why isn't the media or the white house showing us pictures?

“You were not a bystander”

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Not really a sports guy. So I woke up this morning and just for shits and grins I was going to check who won the Super Bowl, I didn't need to. Turns out it was Bad Bunny. Music for the win.

This image is incredible

The group identified a small building in the mountains above Kladnitsa, which they believe serves as a base for “terrorist activity.” The property was reportedly heavily guarded, with personnel accompanied by dogs, and access strictly controlled.

ICE must be reined in. In Texas and everywhere else: Vote out the GOP, who are letting them run rampant.

This is heartbreaking. A woman is filming the pedophile führer's ICE Nazis as they kidnap a woman — only to realize it's her mother, who is a green card carrying legal resident. 🥹🥹🥹👇

Let’s make it viral folks. Thank you @histoftech.bsky.social.

Historian here President Abraham Lincoln opposed the Mexican War as a land grab for slavery when he was a first term Congressman from Illinois.

Love and support you always, Cincinnati Enquirer (support local media), but esp today This is a Midwest daily paper. About as middle of the road as you can get & they understand that this is an objective, straight news headline, in the context of a planned Trump/GOP onslaught in Springfield, etc

Dozens of articles yesterday reported on Trump's rambling, profane remarks at National Prayer Breakfast. But I was only 1 to cover the more dangerous #ChristianNationalist remarks by Pete Hegseth: publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/at-nationa...

Dear Humans of 2026, How does it feel to be ruled over by a gang of tech billionaire pedophiles? Who don’t you just arrest them? Why is no one being prosecuted?!? 🤷‍♂️ God

What a former undercover FBI agent sees in the Pretti shooting videos

Pam Bondi does not work for the American people, she works for Trump. This is what an attorney general who is dedicated to protecting a pedophile president looks like. 😳👇

bring her home! bring them all home!
