I got Peacock for the Super Bowl but the Curling is probably better.

Watching curling. No idea what's going on. Seems exciting though.

if you took my advice last year and bought used leather pants, wore those leather pants, and then resold them on eBay, you would have made more money than if you invested in bitcoin

The Trump administration is considering opening an ICE facility in a Mississippi warehouse that would hold 8,500 people—far more than any current ICE facility. But local opposition is growing—including from Republican U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker. www.mississippifreepress.org/ice-proposal...

Lots of time spent on “is Trump fascist” and “is Trump racist” debates that have now been settled quite conclusively.

This describes well what I was feeling when reading that Medgar Evers' killer couldn't be called racist so they were pulling visitor brochures from his home national monument. mississippitoday.org/2026/02/05/m...

How to treat the stranger, the foreigner, the immigrant, is an ancient moral question. Certainly far older than the modern state. Shakespeare, the Bible, the Stoics, Buddhism, all seem to agree that treating the stranger with hostility is abhorrent.

go right ahead and do this, Donald by all means, let’s have every Republican running for election this fall have to defend you stealing ten billion dollars directly from taxpayers

If you have the slightest doubt whether Trump should be called a racist... 🧵

There is no self deportation. There is only fleeing as a refugee.

I donate monthly to Mississippi Free Press. If you can, it's a good place to put your money.

If you truly believed that getting rid of the illegals would bring about a shangri-la of social and economic benefits you wouldn't start the project in liberal cities in blue states with resistant governments, you'd start in red states with friendly governments and make an example for others

The only place I'd seen this before was written on my grandfather's hard hat. I assumed he came up with it but it looks like he probably heard it while fighting in WWII.

There's a national No Kings protest scheduled for 3/28/2026 so I figured I'd help y'all look fashionable 😂 This is now available in my shop. comingandgoingdesign.etsy.com/listing/4451...

I genuinely have no idea how to convey this to the American people, but I think the biggest impediment to any kind of immigration reform is that people are convinced that "legal" and "illegal" are immutable, intrinsic categories instead of a rapidly-shifting arbitrary constellation of regulations.

Take me down to the Parallax city where the far moves slow and the near moves quickly

Trump's IRS lawsuit is demanding $10 billion from taxpayers. $10 billion would pay for 4 months of ACA tax credits for millions who can't afford health care—because of him. In Trump's ideal world, you make him richer. While he makes you sicker and poorer.

After a quick search, I am under the impression that dragging anchor means you are being pushed into a bad spot and your efforts to stop it are not fully sufficient. So, yes, that.

the president of the united states should not be allowed to personally loot the treasury to the sum of ten billion dollars and that this is not resulting in immediate, unanimous impeachment is a dramatic indictment of what has become of our political system

Good people are so scared to even say they want open borders—that they want people to be free to move and live where they choose—because they're told it's impolitic and "radical". But many people want exactly this! And there's a fine American tradition of open borders! See Frederick Douglass.

Some thoughts: 1. The deadline for nominating a person or group for the Nobel Peace Prize is Feb. 1. 2. History professors are qualified nominators. 3. The people of Minnesota have been awe-inspiringly peaceful in the face of state violence. 4. He would be so mad.

I have my W2 and they did put a number for the "no tax on overtime". I have no idea how they calculated it but the overtime pay here is overly complicated. It's more than 1/3 my total overtime, so no complaints. It's in box 14 labeled OBBBOTPremium. Not sure if it'll cover tariffs.

The Walmart Community Market in Starkville is low on bread and peanut butter but not out. I got some bread and sliced turkey and some salad makings. I would have been OK otherwise though unless the gas went out too.

each dollar stolen is better than each dollar spent on atrocity. admittedly not an ideal binary

There is not a single Minnesotan who would not be a better president than Trump. Not even my dumb-ass libertarian cousin.

“When an individual enters their residence, conceals themselves behind a closed door, and attempts to go about their everyday life, they are willfully impeding the important work of law enforcement officers and engaging in domestic terrorism,” said DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin

Death toll in Afghanistan when NATO answered the US’s call: - 453 Britons - 158 Canadians - 89 French - 59 Germans - 53 Italians - 44 Danes - 17 Spaniards “Stayed a little back, off the front lines “! No one in the media will call him out over this lie or any of the others he spouts.

Don't plug space heaters into power strips. Only directly in the wall. Make sure you can turn off the water to the house. The shut off may be covered in dirt.

I'm just a normal liberal from 1789 and 1865.

Using a search function these days feels like asking a teenager for a favor.

I've thought a lot about the political realignment over the past decade, and how it has mostly revolved around attitudes toward social justice. But it hadn't yet occurred to me that it is not liberalism, but conservatism that has collapsed. Another sharp @polphilpod.bsky.social essay.
