worked at one of these p/t for 5 years. “oh hey so a book was on Oprah? the cover was yellow” “where’s nonfiction?” (literally all but one wall of the store, but 99% of the time meant “true crime”) teens buying the Signet required novel vs the Bantam edition bc the Signet was thinner 🤔

The latest book for my personal library arrived today. This will be a fascinating read! #booksky #books

Perryman: They want to make the conversation about how much money is in there, who’s going to claim it—you know, like, let’s start with the fact that you have no authority. You don’t just get to sit at the White House and create these types of funds. There’s no authority to do that.

One down, more coming. Justice for Alex Pretti and Renee Goode!

A Russian military analyst says occupiers now face 20 to 70 Ukrainian drones each, making advances nearly impossible. He wraps up by wishing them luck.

This is my new response every time anyone from this administration opens their mouth.

And he gave Jose Andres a check for $2.5 million for World Kitchen, from money from Stephen's Ben & Jerry's ice cream they named after him, items he sold from his show, and other merch.

It’s the Second Time he has done this for our State! Thank You Stephen Colbert….

I imagine it looks something like this

His name being removed should be televised and done on 6/14/26. I would pay to watch it happen live.

Okay, now, since putting his own name on things illegally isn't an official duty of the President, make him pay for it all.

how can you not be happy for Wemby???

Bringing emotional basketball back! It’s okay to feel something!!

Here is a good source for inspiration! thebarbedwire.com/2026/02/17/k...

I loved: “I have a legislative record. Ken Paxton has a criminal record.”

“I’ve been eating BBQ since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment” is a great joke. I’d love to see Talarico swap out the punchline each time he tells it. “…since before Ken Paxton cheated on his wife” “…since before Ken Paxton was impeached by his own party” There are hundreds of options.

Holy shit, Trump is really crashing out. His latest unhinged screed: “We should have a giant MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN RALLY, for 250, instead of having overpriced singers, who nobody wants to hear, whose music is boring, and yet who do nothing but complain. Cancel it.”

Lawyer for Kilmar Abrego Garcia: I don’t want it to be lost how courageous Kilmar has been and how he’s made some very hard decisions in the course of this litigation. He didn’t have to go down this path of fighting and exposing the administration for what they’re doing.

Ever see The Death of Stalin? www.imdb.com/title/tt4686...

I mean the chaos part would be bad but the good part is historically it turns inward more than outwards as infighting to fill the power vacuum occurs. (Much smaller scale but what is going on post Charlie Kirk for example). Ouruborus of bigotry and stupidity sucks but still likely better.

And while many of us start every day with the question on our minds, "is he dead yet?", very few of us appear to be waking with the consideration of what might follow when the power fractures in the system are papered over by terminal sycophancy. Where DOES tat energy go when the linchpin is pulled?

I didn't even think of that, but it could very well be. I just assumed this was because his black hole of an ego took such a beating yesterday. The narcissistic collapse is when they're the most dangerous. Adding seeing one's end approaching could make it so much worse. He might do anything.

I could have more to do with what the courts told him this week: (1) "No, can't start a $1.7 billion slush fund," (2)"I'm reopening your case against the IRS to look into whether you defrauded the court with your so-called 'settlement'"; and (3) "No, you can't put your name on the Kennedy Center."

Trump’s behavior on social media today is so unhinged even by his standards that I can’t help but wonder what the doctors really told him the other day. This is a deeply unwell person.

Reportedly, US considers backing Viktor Orbán for senior position at the UN, which would grant him diplomatic immunity. This, as the current investigations into Orbán and members of his family are ongoing.

The first of many Gestapo to be taken down.

the DFL convention remembers melissa hortman, her husband mark, and their dog gilbert after they were assassinated last summer with a standing ovation and many people wiping tears from their eyes in rochester, minnesota

“Officers were conducting a criminal investigation on Friday when they encountered a "suspicious female in the area," Fraser said.” They don’t say how she was “suspicious”, but he’s white, she’s Black, do the math. apple.news/AdamhJxx5SKq...

You may complain about dems but they aren’t trying to remove all monies from the govt/people and give it to oligarchs in order to force compliance with an autocracy. They can and will …given power….maintain the constitution, rule of law, government agencies and judicial independence.

Texas Tech QB Brandon Sorsby bet on his own games. He got caught. Many other have as well and haven’t been caught (yet). Sports gambling is ruining sports. That is all

It's crazy how we have both the World Cup and America 250 this year, and almost no one cares about them because this regime has wholly sucked the joy out of even momentous national events.

In 156 days the American people have a chance to take their government and country back. Please VOTE if you love your country.

President Thinskin strikes again.

The First Amendment is your permit.

Collins: “Do you think that there should be height and weight restrictions on which members of the military can come?” Jennings: “I asked the white house is this true? And I was told: fake news.” Collins: “There is literally a memo.” Courtesy of @acyn.bsky.social

And it's always fun watching "small c" conservatives struggle with the fact that if they take their values seriously they should be supporting policies they consider "liberal"

www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBBO... Also there's this, which is just kinda delightful.

Eastwood's *films* have evolved, exploring the limitations of the violence glorification suffusing his earlier career. His *politics* have remained supportive of right wing ideology, most notably with his empty chair bit at RNC 2012, dialled back since but still including stated support for Trump.

The last thing Harry does in the original film is throw his badge away, because he knows the violence he engaged in to catch Scorpio crossed a moral boundary and he no longer deserves to carry it.

The “Dirty Harry” series itself had skeptical layers to it. “Magnum Force” condemned vigilantism and said the “system is lousy but it’s all we’ve got.” Tyne Daly, the woke hire in “The Enforcer,” ends up saving Harry’s ass.
