Wow, I said this 17 days ago. It's, uh, more true now than ever.

THEY ARE BUYING UP WAREHOUSES TO HOLD HUMAN BEINGS IN DETENTION INDEFINITELY. I feel crazy at how everyone is acting like this is normal. These are concentration camps being built right before our eyes. These buildings are not meant to house human beings. People will be caged like cattle and die.

CW Transphobia , Epstein So this just happened to me.

Hotels offering rooms to ICE & Border Patrol agents is bad enough, but allowing them to be used as secret prisons for minors and families? I want to know which hotel in MN allowed this to happen.

Yesterday, @mprnews.org reported that a St. Cloud teen was kidnapped as she drove to school, was taken to the Whipple, where her entire family was threatened with deportation. They have legal status here as refugees. They later detained her at a hotel, which I just discoved is a common ICE tactic.

If I’m that girlfriend, I’m not taking him back unless he gives up the shooting and sticks to skiing. 1. No more guns around the house. Always a plus. 2. Doing two things at the same time already got you into enough trouble, Bub.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Since Branch Rickey took over as club president in 1917, the Cardinals have never lost more than 93 games in a season.

Feel free to share any and all baseball lists with each other! Bluesky has the juice

ICE agents knocked on Wilmer Andrade’s door claiming a warrant for his arrest. He has a work permit, a pending visa application and no final order of removal. In Operation Metro Surge, people like him are targets.

One thing we should talk more about, not because it would be redeeming if he were good but just to dunk on a bad person, is that Diddy *sucked* as a rapper. His flow was always, always shit.

Hey all, close friend to us posted this gofundme for a Dad who has been detained by ICE today. Please support and share. Any little bit helps to get him home. gofund.me/90ae801f9

Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.** He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.

Also, Ossoff is completely right. The danger in the midterms isn't just the prospect of ICE at polls; it's a lag of anywhere from a few days to two weeks after election night before control of the House is called--a stretch during which MAGA will cry fraud every day. Only a blowout stops that.

There's plenty to criticize Democrats for, and I do it here all the time. But criticizing them for telling people they have to vote is so counterproductive it borders on malevolent. If in 2026, you don't get how important it is, you are as much a part of the problem as anyone you're angry at.

i'm a fan of the rhetorical one-two of "we're coming after you in this life and in the next"

Boy do I agree the demands are exceedingly reasonable. I just don’t think you and I agree about which of those words deserves more emphasis.

Just left a VM with Senator Klobuchar

That’s *so many* heroic “Yeah! Get him!” calls to authorities. Wow. What a guy.

All right I’ll say it: that’s too many times

These are too high, across the board, imo. But take a half a billion off all of them and it’s still insane. The Ricketts family bought the Cubs for ~$850 million in 2009. Seventeen years later, they have an asset worth roughly $5 billion. We need much, much higher wealth taxes, man.

One hero teen in this story is not only driving her parents to work at 4 am for max safety but texting her friends her notes live from class since she’s the only one who dares attend in person Horrifying, and I also would like to join this girl’s political campaign whenever she’s ready to run

KENNEDY: The Census Bureau is under your jurisdiction & responsible for defining what it means to be poor, is that right? LUTNICK: I don't know K: Well you need to look, bc it does. What's the % of Americans who live below poverty level? L: I don't know K: It's around 11%. It's been constant

JKR will never get another dime from the pockets of anyone in my family. You, too, can be part of making this deal a disaster for all parties! (The revolution starts here Where you work & where you play Where you lay your money down What you do & what you say The revolution starts now - S. Earle)

The U.S. currently has more prisoners and a more sophisticated system of concentration camps than Nazi Germany had on the eve of World War II in 1939

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

While federal agents continue to break the law, we will be using the court system to help reunite families. I’m proud to have led this effort with my council colleagues, which funds $1,000,000 in legal assistance for 2026 in Minneapolis. 1/ kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

Another classic post-Homan day where around school dismissal time we get a flurry of ICE vehicles all across our neighborhoods. Today one vehicle led an observer to their own home and pointed at it. This is a sick game to them, but we won’t be intimidated and we won’t stop until DHS is abolished.

They really should Kekich-Peterson this thing and get it right.

Nobody's doing more of the work than Jason Chavez. He's been there on the front lines every day, unlike our "strong" mayor

Little though fans might wish to hear it, the Cubs continue to listen to interested teams about a possible Nico Hoerner trade. What, exactly, are they listening for? #cubs #chicago #behereforit

Getting essential facts wrong or leaving them ignored is something that has been a reliable feature of the Times news desk's coverage of transgender issues - in health care as well as public policy, including sports - & this may well prove to be the latest example. It's not just the opinions section

Bad Bunny is not a scheduled part of the rollout but if you have his number, we’d be happy to bring him aboard for it.

Hate this trade for The Athletic. What did they get? And why are they stupid?

Bummer outcome. I'm grateful to Andy & Grant for letting me in.

Clearly, baseball executives were just engrossed by these NFL playoffs. By *THESE* NFL playoffs.

First: this is very cool. Incredible data viz work. Second: we can build the world we crave. Baseball > Football!

This Benito Santiago erasure goes NOT ONE SKEET FURTHER.

Preliminary look at #Brewers' big, surprising trade with #RedSox is up @brewerfanatic.com. Will be lots more to come—in terms of our coverage, and (I think) in terms of Brewers movement. brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/...

(It was always baseball season)

Second straight year a Drake has gotten absolutely humiliated at the Super Bowl

If you didn’t catch the significance of the exploding transformers in Bad Bunny’s halftime show, I gotcha. Here’s one of a bunch of pieces I wrote from/on Puerto Rico about the crisis—and Trump’s role in it. slate.com/news-and-pol...

The halftime show was incredible and it’s really bumming me out that so many people hallucinated that being Liam Ramos. I think it’s especially sickening because it betrays just how many people think his was an isolated case, and that he’s safe now. It wasn’t, and he’s not.

1) I think it was supposed to be him giving the Grammy to a younger version of himself and 2) I strongly urge people to ask themselves why they can’t tell two latino boys apart

That was very much not Liam Ramos in Bad Bunny’s performance - his image has been plastered all over this site for weeks. Very strange thing to imagine.
