hmmm... where to begin? We'd have cancer research funding, lower grocery prices, no war with Iran, qualified people in the federal govt making reasoned decisions, people not afraid to leave their homes for fear of being grabbed up by masked federal agents, full access to life saving vaccines...

goddamn is this a breath of fresh air after Allred 2024

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

ICE is buying warehouses across America and calling them detention centers. But there's a problem no one in the federal government seems to want to answer: where does the water come from? A thread. 🧵

Mandani: Takes care of all NYC residents. GOP: “He hates America.” Trump: Iran may kill US citizens, I dunno, shit happens. Where’s my golf club? GOP: “Is this Jesus?”

I'll warn you, this is kind of a beast (long) but very skimmable. Tell me which one you like best. I think Henry's favorites are Shasta Daisies or roses because the lizards hide in them. #dogsofbluesky #dogs tailwagwisdom.com/dog-safe-per...

May I direct the court’s attention to Exhibit A:

Imagine the reaction in the US if ~175 schoolgirls had been killed by a targeted Iranian missile. (Or anyone's missile.) This is an atrocity.

I can’t with these people.

Kurt Loder didn’t prepare me for any of this

Driving on the Dan Ryan and a guy pulls alongside me with his window down making frantic motions like he needs to tell me something. I figure it's some sort of emergency, so I roll down my window and barely hear him shouting "WHAT YEAR IS YOUR CAR?" like brother is now really the right time to ask

The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE and Border Patrol, is using a broad web of surveillance tools — purchased as its budget has ballooned under this administration — to monitor, apprehend and intimidate the people it seeks to deport and the U.S. citizens critical of its policies.

"Mr. Martínez said he was distressed that his eldest son, Antonio, who recently turned 18, had been separated from the family and sent to another facility...more than 200 miles away. 'I told them, he is a child,” Mr. Martínez said. “He was in tears when they took him away in shackles.'"

Everyone here knows Fox News lies to its viewers, but this is an example that not even the most diehard members of the cult can deny, and it's important to not brush it off.

Claude is short for Jean Claude Van Damme. Are you saying Jean Claude Van Damme does not have consciousness? Because I agree with you.

Last year, this guy (left) from DOGE used ChatGPT to find NEH grants that were too “DEI” for Trump, and canceled them, including mine, as shown by the letter I received last April (right). Huge new NYT article on the back story link below

The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it. 15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

The Pentagon just put this person -- who has boosted the views of white supremacist Nick Fuentes, among other unacceptable public posts -- in charge of its AI policy: www.reuters.com/world/us/sta...

I'm sure it was the plan all along, but I still can't believe they're letting Worse Google select military targets.

Maybe I was too hard on Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the nation's top diplomat, in my thread. Or maybe not!

Get in line, Claude.

I don’t think the incompetence actually is going to be what Kristi Noem is remembered for. It will be the killings, the lawlessness, and the grift, if I had to guess.

Athena, the Great Horned Owl at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin, laid her first egg of the season yesterday:

Could Tesla be any worse?

Last week, ICE announced the 38th death in its detention system since January 2025. Alberto Gutierrez-Reyes, 48, was being held at Adelanto after being arrested in Echo Park, LA. His family says he was denied medical care despite repeated requests. 🧵

They blew up or drowned 150 people with absolutely no justification and it was a 10-minute story.

Something I don’t think can be emphasized enough is how fast ICE is shipping the people they detain off to another state. “Move fast and break things” but for people in potentially life or death situations. nashvillebanner.com/2026/03/05/j...

ICE is moving people faster & faster. In October, a friend was taken from his home. By the afternoon, he was in Putnam County. They said he'd be there for a couple days. Next day, we rushed there to get him paperwork for legal rep but he was already on his way to Knox Co & in Louisiana the next day.

And now they’re getting bombed. Who did they think he was?

it pains me deeply to link to the nazi platform but this is good-ass news if it bears out

Where do they find these people???

mullin is if anything even more drunk and incompetent than noem, and also a sitting senator, so i think we really are seeing Not Enough Guys theory operationalized at the highest levels

Bye-bye, Kristi.

From 1894-1921, the Field Museum was located in the Palace of Fine Arts in Jackson Park (now home to the Griffin MSI). When it moved to its present home in Grant Park, its enormous collection was moved *by train* on temporary tracks connecting the two buildings to the Illinois Central railroad.

This doesn’t even touch on the ludicrously changing timeframe for US military operations 👇

Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran. No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles. Worth a watch. (🎥 BBC News/BBC Verify)

They killed 180 children and their teachers in a double-tap strike on a school. The girls were 7 to 12 years old.

By the same argument quit Facebook, Insta, WhatsApp and Amazon... Which is no bad idea. (tks @davidveevers.bsky.social) www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Good luck to everyone trying to take their dog out for one last potty in this downpour tonight. ☔️

I spent the night at Mission Control at NASA.

Imagine serving as a Marine and then being injured at home, on purpose, by a sitting Senator while exercising your constitutionally-protected rights.

NANCY MACE: What is a woman? Have you learned that lesson? WALZ: I'm the governor of Minnesota. I'm not here to be a prop for your obsession.

What a nitwit!

Today is March 4, 2026. This just arrived in the mail 5 minutes ago. Makes me wonder how many mail-in ballots were “lost” over the last month and will show up late? We had several days in February with no mail service at all.

Raskin: Based on what you know today, were Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists? Noem: What happened was an absolute tragedy. Raskin: Were they domestic terrorists? Noem: My condolences to their families Raskin: You lied about them.

Storms in the forecast which means the internet will go out. 🥴
