Yes, I’m still in shock. I’m going to pretend Carrie Coon is my Valentine.

OMFG I TALKED TO CARRIE COON!

“Just because we say we’re going to stop caring about these issues doesn’t make the issues go away — it just makes us less prepared.” —Nahid Bhadelia, director of Boston University’s Center on Emerging Infectious Diseases www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I'm sorry I only have so many squees this is so unfair!!! 😭

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast. The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me. But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

reminds of that old bible story of how people were hungry and jesus conjured himself a security detail bsky.app/profile/carl...

WTF?

Wow! Palestine Action win judicial review - Guardian report. This is a *big* legal win. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

I'm willing to give all the credit for this to the Dog Rates guy.

This is what they've done.

This is what they've done.

A dresser inside a museum in New York City has been discovered as a secret stop on the Underground Railroad — the first of its kind discovered in Manhattan in over 100 years

Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground

I’m glad to see people protesting Discord forcing IDs for age verification, but what I need everyone to understand is that there’s immense bipartisan pressure to make the entire internet like this, and they are likely going to succeed unless something drastic happens

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

A weapon made solely to deny families closure, to inflict psychic damage on entire societies. People planned and built this. They sold it to their superiors. They manufactured it. They loaded it on planes and drones and dropped it on human beings.

Consistent with Project 2025, the Trump administration has managed to capture, commandeer, or corrupt every important social institution -- every important social institution except juries, that is. Project 2025 didn't have a plan for juries.

Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family. “He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

Just another tragic example of why women don't report sexual assault. patch.com/pennsylvania...

“They were too busy being Latino and not running the city,” is so horrifyingly racist.

What the hell is happening. No criminal record. Valid work permit. Married to an American. Locked in a cold, dank El Paso detention center for 5 mos. while the U.S. tries to deport him. Why? #Ireland #ICE #immigration

Much like with Covid, I watch a whole lot of my supposedly progressive friends go blank eyed when I mention that his wife, his kids, and an entire plane crew agreed in depositions that he abused his family. Facts apparently do care about your entertainment.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors

the magic of the Muppets is that there are two fourth walls. they constantly break the one that reminds the audience they are performers. they NEVER break the one that reminds the audience they are puppets. this dynamic is the key to their entire comedy style

This is good. I got a business travel friend to donate some of his miles. But we should be hounding delta non stop until they do it for free.

6/ The Post has lost over 375,000 subscribers in just over a year. If 10% of those readers subscribed to The 51st instead, we could hire 10 reporters and five editors, dramatically scaling our coverage of the city at this critical time. 51st.news/signup

at some point, US media has to realize that this framing is exactly what has led to this point? They love him because he voices and enacts their darkest most racist and violent thoughts and desires.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

It’s exhausting to have to hear people tell this story - very, extremely simple story - of how Trump is racist to the bone and unashamedly so - over and over while white Americans are like, “I mean, let’s not jump to conclusions.” The man shouldn’t have been allowed to be a major party candidate.

Is anybody ever gonna take a step back and realize the "Russia Russia Russia" people — derided as lunatic wine moms — were actually underplaying the foreign influence stuff, and the loud people who kept insisting it was all fake are now saying Jeffrey Epstein was kind of a cool guy?

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

Having spent almost two decades studying how US institutions cater to people with privilege, this does not surprise me at all. www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

"Don't mistake personal convenience for global benefits." This applies to so many things.

Over the past two weeks I've begun to realize that rich people only started funding chatbots once they could no longer email Jeffrey Epstein

Epstein sent women to one of the heads of a British anti-trafficking charity: “Lea and Epstein are understood to have been introduced by Sarah Ferguson’s friend…Epstein asked to meet Lea after being told that they ‘shared the same interests’…” Ferguson is former Prince Andrew’s ex-wife.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The entire anti wokeness nonsense of the past decade was about making this kind of gutter racism broadly acceptable again bsky.app/profile/adam...

We never buy this but knowing it won’t be there anymore is giving me a small panic.😭

We found that Jeff Bezos paid *zero* taxes in 2007 and 2011. In fact, he reported making so little in 2011 that he even claimed and received a $4,000 tax credit for his children. This is how he did it (published 2021):

Having my boss text me at 9PM to tell me I have to do my MOST HATED work task tomorrow is just not how I wanted to end my day.

All these men driving women out of their fields with giggly idiot grabassery and then bloviating to the public about how the lack of women is proof of male intellectual superiority... I hate them all. I hate them so much.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!

To everyone just now finding out Isaac Asimov was rather famously a sex pest: He's been gone 34 years now, you can handle this truth, I believe in you

It's not just the women and girls we know of. It's all their future work, and everything they could have been, and how we build structures that shelter their abusers. It's how a man's future has always been worth more than my past, present, and future combined.
