America’s Presidents’ Day! (I got to play her! Thank you to my favorite Supergirl, Melissa Benoist!) In the end, this President was discovered to be from another planet… something to keep in mind… 🙄

There are certain tactics which are universally condemned because they do ultimate and lasting harms. You don't do foreign ops by claiming you're medical personnel...or you can't do medicine because of generational suspicion. When they claim to need help or are in distress to do harm? Same shit.

Happy James Cook getting stabbed in the neck day to all those who celebrate.

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon. Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

It’s once again Girl Scout cookie season so it’s time for me remind everyone to please consider buying from NYC’s Girl Scout Troop 6000, which is entirely made up of girls living in NYC homeless shelters 🙏❤️

Enraging that this took a court order: "Catholic nuns and clergy had visited the facility for years, offering prayer services and holy communion to detainees during visitor hours. Trump Administration immigration authorities rolled back that access in September..." www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/u...

Silverio Villegas González, Keith Porter, Renee Good, Alex Pretti. All killed by ICE. A memorial for them outside Broadview ICE detention center. #abolishice

The commander in chief telling troops who they have to vote for is itself a presidency ending impeachable scandal.

Democracy is when voters choose their leaders. Autocracy is when leaders choose their voters.

People like to conveniently forget that she has a degree in international relations and economics.

Graze on my lips, and if those hills be dry, Stray lower, where the pleasant fountains lie.

There are some shows I have given up on because of the constant constant re-stating of exposition. Exposition is a thing that is definitely needed in normal amounts. The amounts being demanded right now by executives at some streamers is excessive & annoying & has killed my interest in some shows

One takeaway from the big WSJ Noem/Lewandowski/DHS piece is how all the Trump satellites think they can be heir apparent when in reality they are like 45 seconds from the 11 am block on NewsNation

Me at 56: Wtf do you mean we might have no democracy

There’s a word for making promises you don’t keep to get something you want. What is it again? Right on the tip of my tongue…

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.

wait she fired the pilot and then UNFIRED him because she needed to put her life in his hands to get home???????

Pouring one out for my uncle and wishing him safe journey. My mom will be so happy to see him.

I will toss the rogue in a blanket.

The details of the Kristi Noem blanket incident are just fucking perfect

It's not a new observation at this point but that wild Noem/Lewandowski story in WSJ really brings home the extent to which all the Trump 2 cabinet-level goblins see their jobs as flying private, doing short-form video, and screaming at underlings. They all hate each other and none of them can read.

The James Webb Space Telescope sent back pictures of the Helix Nebula in phenomenal clarity. The space telescope’s website has the photographs in all their glory, along with comparisons to photographs of Helix taken by older space telescopes like VISTA and Hubble buff.ly/IZ8gDdC #ShareGoodNewsToo

Me waiting and waiting and WAITING For @searingunicorn.bsky.social to get to a key couple of scenes in BSG s3 while LYING MY ASS OFF and giggling the whole time.

Universe, take the worries we carried today, quiet the overthinking, hold what feels heavy so we can rest; we release what didn’t go right, forgive what we didn’t finish, and wake up tomorrow to a clean page. Goodnight 🌙

BREAKING: The Trump administraiton has committed a mass violation of ICE detainees' constitutional rights in MN, effectively blocking their acess to attorneys in the Whipple building, a judge ruled tonight. The judge: Trump appointeee Nancy Brasel storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Today’s ruling was a victory for free speech, but don’t expect Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth to give up. We have to keep standing up to this Administration when they undermine Americans’ rights.

I’m just going to say that I presaged this:

April 19?! They are really torturing us, fam.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

I'm still SHOCKED by the obscene rise in billionaire election spending since Citizens United in the NYT piece, despite already knowing that election corruption w/ $ was profound. (Recall that BCRA fought dangerous campaign $ in *2002*) The article data didn't have a graph, so I made one to show it.

my understanding from reading people in the know is that CBP was known as the place for fuckups who couldn’t hack it anywhere else and was considered a backwoods clown agency now they’re being given infinite money, no supervision and - apparently - drone lasers what could go wrong

Gov. Tim Walz: "They left us with deep damage. Generational trauma. Economic ruin in some cases. The left us with many unanswered questions. Where are our children? Where and what is the process of the investigation into those that were responsible for the deaths of Renee and Alex?"

Just about every writer has had the book club scams and book promotion scams, AI written mass-produced junk promising to connect you to readers in some way or another. They come in a variety of formats , and are a plague right now. I've just had one that is fully 1500 words long-

my colleagues worked so hard on this. And thank you, Congresswoman, and your staff, for championing this. 💖

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

WATCH: “In any remotely sane political climate she would be impeached, fired, or just have the good sense to resign in disgrace,” says Chris Hayes on Attorney General Pam Bondi.

It's enraging to understand the amount of thought, time, craft, and care that every writer and artist I know puts into their work only to see these GenAI proselytizers have the gall to take that work, shove it into a blender, and then demand we enthusiastically support them and the resulting slop.

JUST IN: U.S. Customs and Border Protection says Border Patrol agent Charles Exum, who shot Chicago's Marimar Martinez, "was placed on administrative leave":

CNN confirms what MSNBC reported live a few hours ago: DOJ is surveilling Dem lawmakers when they go to the DOJ to search unredacted Epstein files.

With the passing of James Van Der Beek, which is awful, this a reminder that life is incredibly short and for some shorter than others. Do your absolute best to do the things you enjoy no matter how small or big it may be. You all deserve happiness and deserve to live a life that makes you happy.

If you watched Buffy pre-Angel, it was likely you caught the last few minutes of Dawson’s whether you wanted to or not.
