Uncle Jeffy Tiedrich says today in his newsletter: "Here’s one sure way you can tell you’re living in a shithole country: when the following two headlines appear one after another."

This one hits hard.

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported. He finally died. I am so angry. www.kptv.com/2026/02/21/n...

Democrats should propose amendments to the SAVE act that require the government to furnish free IDs to all eligible voters before requiring them, automatically register all people to vote, expand mail-in voting, and create a national voting holiday. Then watch republicans block them.

Massie and Khanna should introduce articles of impeachment against Bondi today.

This is a comprehensive post on Trump's EPA decision yesterday -- Gloninger did a version of it rebutting the WH on Xitter.

As we unleash times of mega floods this principle will be devastating: Continental runoff extremes leading to new dimensions of coastal pollution driving all from ecosystem destruction to massive toxic algae blooms... #oceans #climate

Perusing the Epstein files this morning, and the sheer amount of money sloshing around for art and real estate is incredible. Also, lots of intricate deals with Leon Black and his Trust.

Hey NY Times and Wapo: where are the headlines about Epstein and Trump??? Wtf is going on? Is raping girls ok???

"Just because this shouldn’t be a surprise to ANYONE, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be absolutely outraged about this" needs to go on a shirt.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.

Layoffs just hit their highest start-of-year total since January 2009 — the height of the Great Recession — according to data tracking firm Challenger. Meanwhile, CEO pay and corporate profits continue to hit record highs. Does anyone still believe that trickle-down tax cuts create jobs?

PSA: I have had nothing but problems with every Samsung appliance I have purchased in the last 3 years. Dishwashers, & refrigerators are junk! Warranties are for one year and by year two, I guarantee parts will be broken or service needed. Their app "Smartthings" is not, in fact, smart either.

“God is a construct. Cute girls are real” -Deepak Chopra. 21st century spirituality, everybody. As seen on Tikitok.

"In those files, there's highly disturbing allegations of Donald Trump raping children, of Donald Trump threatening to kill children." — Rep. Ted Lieu.

Amidst all the devastating Trump chaos going on in our country and around the world we learn that Trump, his sons, and company are suing the government for $10.5 billion. This is the 3rd lawsuit he’s brought against his own government in which he sits on both sides of the legal table. Astonishing!

Two big thumbs up for The Empress on Netflix. The cast, the sets, the costumes ... all of it is excellent! The Empress share.google/YX36EaXb0uLh...

Release the Epstein files or admit he's a rapist and a pedophile.

ICE has now killed a white man and white woman. Both citizens. It isn't just immigrants, brown folks, Black folks, pro Palestinian activists and Muslims. If this doesn't wake up "white moderates" and privileged centrists, then...all I can say is good luck.

This is huge: For the first time since the early 1970s, coal power generation has fallen in both China & India. It undercuts claims that decarbonisation is pointless while they expand coal. Renewables are no longer just adding capacity — they’re displacing coal. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Impeach!

At this point it's more like, Hey Denmark, if you're listening....

"I am head of the defence committee in Denmark It is my job to be on top of security in Greenland and I get all relevant information about it. I can assure you that your fantasies about a big threat from China and Russia against Greenland are delusional. You are the threat, not them." Rasmus Jarlov

Every year we delay meaningful climate action, the costs skyrocket — in lives lost, economies damaged, and ecosystems destroyed. In the Horn of Africa, families are already paying the highest price for emissions they didn’t cause. #ClimateActionNow

⚠️A decorated Iraq war veteran, Sascha Riley, was trafficked in the Epstein/Trump ring when he was between 9-13. His testimony included statements about witnessing snuff films. THIS is why tRUMP is trying to burn down the world. You can read and listen here: lisevoldeng.substack.com/p/dont-worry...

Well that was a productive 15 mins! I just contacted my State Reps and asked them where the Epstein Files are. I recommend you do the same. Look up yours here: share.google/UimdkbP7ZsuI...

This is Minneapolis: -drop the kids off for a day with their grandparents -go to brunch with your wife -get a text from neighbors who don’t have enough food & can’t leave home or they might be abducted by fed govt -get groceries as helicopters roar overhead -deliver food & this vehicle passes you

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

I’m kind of over the whole “America is bad, at least my country is good” as if the rise of a xenophobic right wing isn’t a broadly Western problem and every country tut-tutting about the US’s fall doesn’t have a failing neoliberal order constantly in tug-of-war with The Racism Party

Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent. -Isaac Asimov-

So, where are the Epstein Files?

The United States government has gone rogue. Anybody working with them should be considered an enemy of the citizens of the United States and of the world at large. A terrorist oligarchy has taken control.

Drug-testing labs typically report results in black and white: positive or negative. But a little-known fact about the industry is that those results are often based on standards that are wholly discretionary. Read our full investigation: https://propub.li/3Nce5Ma

What is the point of appropriations if the White House can just cut off spending against its enemies?

I’ve heard from multiple friends today about daycares being raided and parents being ripped out of cars (in one case with a child left behind in the backseat). Grim times here.

Oh

Nice presentation in Honolulu tonight by @docappleyard.bsky.social on making streets safer, and more accessible for different transportation modes.

The President does not get to raise and spend his own separate money. This is Constitution 101 stuff, guys.

Trump’s hand bruise is back…

"Putin has been attempting to influence Donald Trump to seize both Venezuela and Greenland since at least 2017. The effort, rooted in Putin's ambitions in Ukraine, hinged on American embrace of the Monroe Doctrine, the 1823 policy ... that focused American influence within the Western Hemisphere."

in America people brand you a bleeding heart pie-in-the-sky liberal when you support this but in reality this is the most pragmatic policy and in that sense it is conservative policy

Fascinating debunking of the self serving car safety numbers

Paul Singer, whose firm owns the US subsidiary of Venezuela's state-owned oil company, spent millions in 2024 to re-elect Trump. Now, after Trump's invasion of Venezuela on behalf of Big Oil, he's set to cash in on his investment. A government of, by, and for the billionaires.

Glad that these Countries aren’t living in denial Meanwhile in the U.S. a 23 year old boy with a phone is in charge of eliminating child care funding in Minnesota because Trump hates Democrats and Waltz.
