Just one more way for elites to avoid accountability…

The Supreme Court:

It is essential to take the threat to women’s voting rights posed by the SAVE Act within the wider context of coercive and misogynistic views on the right. I wrote about it for @liberalcurrents.com www.liberalcurrents.com/we-need-to-t...

look at my country man, we’re getting out-No Kings’d by the fuckin’ british

“I’ve already spent $17,000 on lawyers to deal with ICE for me... And then I got an email last week to my attorneys saying, basically, we need to let go over two-thirds of our staff.” washingtonian.com/2026/02/19/i...

She never lived to see this moment, but it’s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre. She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrew’s. Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.

Real “Lord I’ve seen what you’ve done for others” kind of news day

Americans waking up to news that Prince Andrew has been arrested for Epstein ties

Charles in the palace, sipping his tea, like, “Sucks to suck, lil bro.”

“I remember the first time I saw Andy…”

A watched inbox never downloads the email you are waiting for.

Big news from @lizzylawrence.bsky.social: FDA reverses course, agrees to review Moderna’s flu vaccine www.statnews.com/2026/02/18/f... via @statnews.com

It wasn’t so long ago that CNN sat down for a serious conversation with these guys. One of them is Pete Hegseth’s pastor. Pretending these assholes are still ‘fringe’ is a dangerous mistake bsky.app/profile/seth...

Our failure to find paczki in Dc prefigures my annual failure to find a Lenten fish fry in DC…

Okay, I have made birria several times now, and I know that corn tortillas are traditional for making birria quesotacos, but I cannot figure out how to keep them from disintegrating the second I dip the tortilla in the consome. I’m warming them up first, so it’s not that. What am I doing wrong?

I firmly believe that the actual reason Americans eat turkey at Thanksgiving is because everyone who encountered them took one look and were like, “Oh yeah, the only way to get any peace is to eat these fuckers.”

Discussing how we’d *like* to show our kid SHORT CIRCUIT, but it has most certainly not aged well. Fisher Stevens’ entire performance, for example…

u guys there are 2 Pączki Days, one is today (Poland) & one is Tuesday (Polish diaspora), i just learned this, v impt

When you're on a video meeting, and backchanneling in Slack with a coworker in the meeting, and you make them laugh on camera, so now you're laughing on camera, and finally you have to turn off your camera AND mute because you can't get your face under control...

Apple is a ludicrously valuable company. It has SO MUCH cash. And literally WHAT is the point of having "fuck you" money if you never say "Fuck you" with it?

Me, assessing my child's bedhead: "Please comb your hair before you leave for school." Child, affronted: "But... It's a signature LOOK!"

PACZKI DAY IS ONE WEEK AWAY. NOT A DRILL. HAVE A PLAN.

Please stop spreading misinformation, please do not post that they had to close the air space over El Paso because the president was sundowning and took Air Force One out for a joyride and now he is doing barrel rolls over West Texas while JD Vance clings to the wing like that Twilight Zone gremlin

New pronoun labeler!

The most discredited long-running joke of an anachronistic institution in our legal system has come roaring back as one of our most important safeguards simply because it involves regular citizens getting a chance to say "no, this is bullshit."

DC jurors stay resisting.

Ope, that’s enough internet for today. *quits Bluesky app, turns off phone, chucks it into the sea.*

I genuinely cannot believe the degree to which we are pissing away this generational breakthrough, even given the fuckmuppets who are involved www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means

First day back at the gym after a while and my membership had been mysteriously canceled. They had to start a new one for me. Shout out to the guy at the desk who was all set to enter my birth year starting with a 2. That’s so sweet and not at all observant. 💀

@pqkate.bsky.social brought us a loaf of homemade bread and people, let me remind you: Good bread, toasted, with butter is one of the most consistent simple pleasures there is. Instant mood-lifter.

I was bewildered by all the carrying on like Spanish- SPANISH!- is this obscure tongue until I realized that 16 states do not require any kind of language study in school, and 24 treat it as one of many electives. I grew up in PA and had to take at least 2 years of a language to graduate.

heads up to the american news media: I do not care what racists thought of the super bowl halftime show

If you're a business owner who fires someone you have assigned to an overseas job and you don't buy them a plane ticket home you should actually go to prison

Wait wait… Jeff D’Onofrio is the CFO of WaPo? TUMBLR Jeff D’Onofrio? This explains so much…

If the March For Life turns out to have brought the measles plague to DC… www.wusa9.com/article/news...

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work. “WooCommerce is just a WordPress plugin. Anybody can install it.”

Also it deprives us of getting to enjoy that moment.

God, these Opening Ceremonies. “Here’s the torch, we’re about to light the cauldron!” 30 minutes of opera singing and slow flag-raising later: “Let’s learn about the solar system…”

Big "I was born at night but not LAST night" energy here from Judge Reyes.

Again, this is a crime. Any federal troops or agents at a polling location is a crime. They don’t think you know that.

They’re trying to run the Kilmar Abrego Garcia playbook with a five year old boy in a bunny hat because nobody can find peace if they embarrass the Trump administration publicly. Normal people didn’t like it with Garcia and they really aren’t going to like it for Liam.

I'm used to thinking of patriarchy as a diffuse cultural custom that only *looks* like a conspiracy. And while that's still true, I am shocked at how quickly the most powerful tier of patriarchy organized when challenged.

This, and the reply about single-gender boarding schools, is a big reason we have been so insistent about our son's Scouting America (fka Boy Scouts) troop fully integrating girls, vs. two linked troops. They take him into the woods to learn resilience & camaraderie. Girls should be part of that.

I get this, but here's where I'm at: Trump & Vance are the worst of us. America is bigger than them, and they win if we let them define us. Team USA is the best of us. It's filled with Americans MAGA hates—first-generation + immigrants, LGBTQ+ athletes, people of color—& I'm gonna root for them.

When he's dead Evangelicals will go back to pretending they cared about the morality of politicians and I'm telling you it will be the most shameless shit you've ever seen

My actual job description is activist and here’s what I tell people in despair all the time: do not underestimate how much harm you can prevent by being just a little bit annoying.
