Some urban seabird action, as a South American Tern throws elegant shapes over a coastal lagoon in Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego. #Birds #SuperSeabirdSunday

If the cops showed up on my doorstep with a warrant and I pulled a gun and told them to fuck off, I don't think they'd back off and file a lawsuit. I'm not looking for violence. But if the feds can file obstruction charges, the state could play that game too if they really wanted to.

Understand that 370 days ago even bringing a motion like this would probably have been treated as sanctionably frivolous Today it was granted ex parte

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

"Today we remember that freedom is not free. We have to work at it, nurture it, protect it, and even sacrifice for it. May we never forget and always remember our brothers and sisters who have served so that we may enjoy the gift of freedom. So in this moment...

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

DOJ lies. DHS lies. ICE lies. That has been established. Do not repeat their claims as fact. Their claims are arguments or, often, misleading propaganda — when not outright lies. They are seeking to make a case for their lawlessness (and to please Trump), not seeking to inform.

President Trump didn't end up invading a NATO ally this week. Are the Europeans even going to say thank you? by J.D. Vance

Heard someone point out that the products of inbreeding support group in Fallout is clearly intended to represent MAGA, and I can't unsee it 😆 . This is America! Our parents put themselves first, and that worked out for them, so it'll work out for us!

When you’re considering Trump, you have to always consider what would be the single dumbest thing, not just a random dumb thing.

One wonders how we ever recover from this. When this is all over, how many competent people will be left in the federal government to even try to rebuild?

Minnesota is the best of us.

Actually I take it back a Sweaty Bongino is when you have no choice to take a dump in a blazing hot, unshaded porta potty at a music festival or other event.

I’m not much for religion but if I were, if a line of clergy flew in to freezing weather to line up and oppose me while singing songs of faith, I might be thinking “are we the baddies?”

SNL cut this clip from the broadcast, but it slaps

Do you understand how absolutely dogshit your warrant application has to be to get rejected by most judges?

"The United States, however, offers no factual or legal support for their assertions. The Court has found none." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This is such an important point. That 5-year-old and his dad should never been detained in the first place! That's because they were already in the system and going through the legal process to seek asylum — and their arrest was seemingly just to juice ICE's numbers.

"But you will find great meaning if you dedicate yourself to disappearing people off the street and detaining 5-year-olds on their way home from school."

Can’t we just take him to Alaska, tell him it’s Greenland, and give him a little certificate with an embossed seal and call it a day?

When you watched the prison break arc of Andor, did you stop to wonder which of these prisoners really deserved to escape? Or did you realize that the system was so fucked that *no one* deserved to be there regardless of their crimes?

Standing in waist deep water off a beach in Phuket with two friends, all with a death grip on each other, trying to make our way back to shore as the hand of god pulled us out to sea. No idea how long it took, probably 10 minutes, but felt like hours to get shallow enough for the tide to release us.

I keep watching the forecast, and at this point, I think I can say with reasonable confidence that my kids will not have school tomorrow.

Have a larger story on this coming, but I’ve been embedded with this group, and this story from yesterday is part of what they’ve been doing in the city: religionnews.com/2026/01/22/h...

Fallout: the show about people very good at identifying very real real world problems and then coming to the most insane possible conclusions about how to adress them.

In 2014 the only thing you’d have heard about on the news this week would’ve been a big fuckin’ snowstorm. That would’ve been it. Wall to wall coverage of ice. Small “i”. And now we have this fuckin’ nightmare. Just a perpetual god damn nightmare.

Tomorrow’s front page of the Minnesota Star Tribune: Jan. 23, 2026

But when I asked an organizer what they wanted to see out of press coverage, they told me they wanted people to see the beautiful things they are building here, and not just the worst stories of the worst of ICE's crimes. What people are doing here is beautiful. It's a tragic beauty, but a real one

"I'm with the executive branch. This warrant, issued by the executive branch, says I can enter your home"

Guys. I don’t think he saw the movie.

Once again: you could do worse than live your life according to the corporal works of mercy

Very disturbed by reports that some agents were not spit upon.

#SCOTUS is likely to do the right thing in the Lisa Cook case. But it's worth bearing in mind that this idea that the Fed is some bespoke exception to the unitary executive theory is utterly incoherent as a matter of both law and history—and is really just proof that the UET is itself bollocks:

my entire timeline right now:

May we all live our lives in a way that we can go more than an hour without being seen before the world starts hoping maybe today's the day 🤣

If we all start going "That isn't Donald Trump, that's clearly a body double" I bet we can make everyone in the White House lose their minds within a week. But we have to _commit_ to it.

Trying to watch Starfleet Academy. I'm 20 minutes in, and I'm honestly so bored.

Today is National Thesaurus Day. Personally, we find these made-up holidays contemptible, abhorrent, nauseating, repugnant, and unpalatable.

saving this screenshot forever

Evertime I sit through a spelling bee, my main thought is I can't spell nearly as well as I think I can, lol.

"Good is not a meaningful vector in history. Only strength." - Donald Trump or Kevin McCallister?
