The whole thing about Democrats searching for a winning message for the midterms is infuriating because it is staring them in the face: Rule of Law — People who do illegal shit should face consequences. For insider trading. For illegal wars. For ignoring court orders. For being a pedophile.

I can't recall a time when more talented reporters and writers on movies and culture who have real skill and knowledge are struggling to find a foothold. We live in an "Everyone's an expert" era. But everyone isn't. Editors: Please take a chance on folks you haven't tried before. Read their clips!

Great week of new movie releases for people named Grace.

If you didn't watch all eight LEPRECHAUN movies to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, you're doing it...right.

Kraushaar is just a straight up bigot who gets off on the idea of bombing Iranians

Too many people, including some news media, let the truth be trampled upon without thought for what is happening to us and our nation.

How Stupid are 'Americans'? This stupid:

No president or defense secretary in modern memory has been less qualified, less knowledgeable, or more emotionally unfit to wage war than Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth.

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

Wild way to find out MAGA hasn't seen THE LION KING.

In 2019, the thing that got Dems to stop avoiding conflict and fight Trump directly was that he got caught corrupting foreign policy to cheat in his own election. Self-preservation made it impossible to ignore. Whatever Trump has planned for 2026 is already underway. So Dems need that mindset back.

This is what embodying the American spirit looks like. Alex Pretti is America. Renee Good is America. Liam Ramos is America. We are all the disenfranchised, downtrodden, and despondent. They are us. H/t @jamestalarico.bsky.social

The deputy AG said they’re done reviewing the Epstein Files because jelly bellied cuntwaffling is exhausting & they’re tired of redacting Trump, who was never on the Island & is completely exonerated after being mentioned thousand of times by ppl he never ever ever knew. Ever.

Our legacy news media will not survive this period in American history, nor should they.

Minneapolis.

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

i think it is ok to reiterate that the victim as a us citizen. yes, noncitizens are equally entitled to human rights. but also, it's important to illustrate how ice isn't about immigration at all

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

It's really deeply fucking troubling that they will put out these statements when there are multiple videos proving them to be demonstrably false. They know the truth doesn't actually matter. Objective reality doesn't actually matter. I don't know how the fuck we're coming back from this.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: “A 37-year-old American citizen, the mother of a young child is dead tonight. She was shot in the face by an agent of the federal government, and that government has spent the day telling despicable lies about her.”

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

Also disputing the federal account: People with eyes.

We cannot be more clear. Leave us the fuck alone.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

An image I’ll never forget.

Well, if you need a distraction—

Thanks to @petecroatto.bsky.social for including me in this article!

Happy Pop-Tarts Bowl Day to all who celebrate
