Seattle premiere of Fellow Travelers! Great performance at @seattleopera.bsky.social

BREAKING: Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (formerly Prince Andrew) has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office. He is accused of sharing confidential government documents with Jeffrey Epstein. Unprecedented. Side note: it is Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s birthday today.

lent and ramadan kicking off on the same day

Cardinal Cupich: “Today is a day that speaks to all those who live in the shadows and in secret. Our immigrant friends know what it is like to live in the shadows, fearing a knock at their door…God does not need papers to see who you are.”

7 fire trucks, 2 other SFD vehicles, and anyone parked right outside my apt (like me!) at the top of Queen Anne can’t drive off the hill

Bloomberg says we've spent $3B on Trump's invasion of Venezuela. Which is 6X more than the cancer, Alzheimer, diabetes, and heart disease cures they've cut to pay for it. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

What’s so weird about men in power is how when they face scandal and should step down the world acts like no one else can do their jobs. Bottstein, Wasserman, these aren’t irreplaceable men! Stop with this delusion.

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

What a great photo of Brazilian alpine skier Lucas Pinheiro Braathen, the first South American to ever win a medal at the Winter Olympic Games.

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon. Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

This is was so amazing to watch. I also loved seeing the inflatable kangaroos that Aussie fans brought to cheer on the team. 😄

Poignant performances at Seattle Rep’s very timely production, the horrifying story of how ordinary people built Auschwitz and kept it running.

Minneapolis was economically devastated by Operation Metro Surge, writes James Beard-winning Oglala Lakota chef Sean Sherman, suffering $10-$20 million in weekly losses. "This isn't just immigration enforcement. This is economic sabotage wrapped in racism." talkingpointsmemo.com/cafe/congres...

I love watching the medal ceremonies and break into a grin every time the announcer says ”et champion olympique…” 🥇 It’s annoying af that NBC/Peacock is inconsistent about which ones they show 🤬so after watching hours of a sport I have to track down the ceremony on CBC or elsewhere.

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

Sending love, hugs, prayers and healing thoughts to our friends in Canada today after a horrific deadly mass shooting in a school in British Columbia that left 10 dead including the shooter as well as dozens more injured. I’m so sorry. 💙🙏🇨🇦

I can’t stop laughing about “and from New Jersey”

I love this! www.hitc.com/how-new-york...

The purpose is to disincentivize investments in vaccine development

This is literally what CURRENT LAW requires. It’s in the Constitution! www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

“Collection of Handwritten Letters from Children in Detention Center” sounds like an exhibit in the Holocaust Museum.

Watch: 'Really special' - team mates perform haka following Zoi Sadowski-Synnott's medal win

Decided to walk home to QA from the Central District. There’s a decent crowd at 4th & John cheering and getting honks from cars. 💙💚💙

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

In case you missed the moment. Art is powerful

Finally, a touchdown!

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

I especially loved the little kid falling asleep on the chairs at a wedding 😆🤣 #iykyk

This ending is all of us and I couldn't be more proud of who America *actually* is.

THAT WAS AMAZING.

JFC NBC, I spent an hour and a half watching the men’s snowboarding big air final. I would like to watch the medal ceremony FFS. I am so close to getting a VPN and watching CBC coverage.

One small thing you can do *right now* — donate $5, $10, $50, whatever you're able — to this rent fund for South Minneapolis daycare workers whose families are sheltering in place. Can we raise $5k today?? Whatever you can give matters. And if you can't give, can you share? givebutter.com/Rbpl0z

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

Woke Mom for the cauldron lighting like she wanted. It’s giving Hunger Games.

Mom has fallen asleep but wants me to wake her up with they light the cauldron, it’s her favorite part after the parade of athletes.

I love the Olympics but I always hate the performative messages of peace.

Of COURSE the Olympic flame enters the stadium as Bocelli sings Nessun Dorma.

I watched the parade of nations on CBC earlier today. Cheers for US team but massive booing when Vance was shown on the big screen. Commentators even commented on it. Tonight watching NBC coverage, they changed it to make it look like there were cheers for Vance. 👎 #olympics #milancortina #politics

Mom thinks the France kit looks like an astronaut suit.

Mom and I always watch the Olympics opening ceremony together, as far back as I can remember. I love the parade of athletes. My sisters would get bored, but my mom and I stay up to cheer for all the countries (especially the ones with only a few athletes or ones where we have friends and family).

My favorite jackets so far have been Czechia, Colombia, and Iran. #MilanoCortina2026 #OlympicsOpeningCeremony

Mom says the Czechia kit reminds her of Tigger. I love it.

I see NBC skipped showing us all the countries that start with B… 😡

I liked the “arts & culture”performance with the little notes frolicking around. #MilanoCortina2026

they looked bad and now they're going to punish this little boy and his family for it the cruelty runs *so* deep

Toitū Te Tiriti

Incredible story.

74% of Democrats support abolishing ICE, with 53% *strongly* supporting it, according to YouGov polling from last month. Weak calls for "reform" are coming from *elected* Democrats like Chuck, not the average Democratic voter.

As I said last night about the measles outbreak at ICE detention facilities, I don’t much trust “ICE Health Services Corps”. See how the language on their website has changed. Old language (L), Mengelian language (R). From direct patient care to “assessing alien’s [sic] fitness” to be deported.
