The people who work in this building will review whether they withheld documents that could be damaging to Donald Trump.

Today marks one year since SCOTUS overturned Richard Glossip's conviction over false testimony and prosecutorial misconduct. He's been stuck behind bars ever since. But he could soon have a shot at bond. My latest @theintercept.com:

Tennessee is going through a "NIMBY" moment with a proposed ICE warehouse camp, in which Republican elected officials from the statehouse to the U.S. Senate are saying this facility should definitely be built, just not in the Nashville suburb where it is currently being pursued.

In the aftermath of the Antioch school shooting, Metro Council adopted a resolution requesting that MNPD assess the safety plans of Nashville’s public schools. One year later, that report hasn’t been released yet.

I think about this tweet every time I feel something online start to curl its annoying little grip into my head

Remember, unless you are a paid sponsor, you can't say "State of the Union" in your advertising and must refer to it as "the big speech."

this just in from new york city: we’re hearing that mayor mamdani just signed an executive order making it illegal to NOT stand at your window and fold your arms and say “wow, it’s really coming down out there”

In a special podcast episode, @genuinehumandk.bsky.social talks with @sarahgracetaylor.bsky.social, @stelliott.bsky.social and Araceli Crescencio about how they approached their reporting on the THP-ICE operation, which involved reviewing 50+ hours of video. Produced by @andreatudhope.bsky.social.

Last week Donald Trump registered the trademark "Donald J. Trump International Airport." This week Florida Republicans voted to rename Palm Beach International Airport Donald J. Trump International Airport," putting taxpayers on the hook for licensing fees that go straight to him

HOCKEY COUNTRY

Hope you'll read this great reporting on some parts of the Minneapolis story we haven't been seeing as much.

NBC ran a piece where Mary Carrillo went to Norway to find out why they're so good at the Winter Olympics and i was yelling BECAUSE IT'S COLD THERE then she went to a little tiny ski jump for kids and was like "it's free, equipment is provided, & they don't emphasize results" and i was like. oh!

An underrated upside of the British monarchy, imo, is that it leads to reporters and the public referring to the country's most rich and powerful people simply by their first names.

A man detained in Nashville during the May ICE operation on his time in detention: “We’ve seen persons dive off the top bunk trying to kill themselves ... We woke up one of the mornings, there was a trail of blood. … You see a lot of things.” nashvillebanner.com/2026/02/19/i...

To quote the philosopher Matty Healy, "modernity has failed us."

@stelliott.bsky.social and Araceli Crescencio also wrote this story, detailing the aftermath of these arrests on individuals who were deported and their families. It highlights conditions in detention centers and economic strain caused by the operation: nashvillebanner.com/2026/02/19/i...

“A man in his sixties from Norfolk” is definitely the first line of a limerick

Among many other things revealed in this footage is these agents and troopers utterly inhumane approach to the operation. They don’t appear to be people carrying out some solemn duty. They’re delighting in it.

Ski mountaineering is amazing. Global Guts-ass event.

Today we're sharing an investigation into the Nashville ICE/THP traffic operation. (Thread) I viewed over 50 hours of footage from the raid, which showed law enforcement calling targets "wet," "bodies," "illegals," physically writing on arrestees and competing to make the most arrests:

Two female ICE agents popped the hood of their car and knocked on the door of a mechanic born in Mexico. He went out to help. “A bunch of agents jump out and tackle him, essentially restraining him, and take him away...His six kids are now without their father." www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

When two fraternity guys at rival SEC schools engage in a secret but torrid love affair that’s PLEATED RIVALRY

I imagine it was extremely disturbing

At least when you see a bad and/or unoriginal movie, you can at least respect the fact that people had to go phsically make the thing.

I grew up in Florida and have lived in Tennessee my whole adult life. There are great things and people in both places. But flying a plane-full of Floridians to Pigeon Forge is a disastrous idea that must be stopped.

I was heartbroken to hear about H.G. Webb's recent passing. I genuinely think he was the most magnanimous man I've ever met. I interviewed him for this piece back in 2017. A local legend. A personal hero. Rest in power, H.G., our city is dimmer without your light. See ya at the movies.

I appreciate this way of evaluating one's life.
