as good as you've heard

‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." … She offered me $2600 to self-deport. I refused. I wanted to talk to my attorney. They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’

emergency episode @edsbs.bsky.social @jasonkirk.fyi

Bullshit scare tactic. ICE can't handle a single city, imagine them trying this shit nationwide in every city and town at the same time. They don't have enough resources, they don't have enough thugs.

it'd be so funny to get killed by an assassin on cross country skis because I'd be dying sure but they still have to go cross country skiing, I win

This is a remarkable @nytimes.com split screen: A huge 3,526 word + photos profile on Sen Britt who "can't stop thinking about the boy ICE detained" But Rep Jaoquin Castro- who actually got Liam Ramos out of detention & back home- gets no interview, no pix, just 116 words inside a story. WOW.

Starting to think these weren’t really applied with the consideration required by law

Apple, no, the solution to a person sending a text on the subway is not DO YOU NEED TO TALK TO SPACE?

Honestly, when I read this and think about the rise of fascism in Germany today, I see a common thread: mass complacency. People are concerned, but for the most part they think it will blow over. As a friend said this week: “they are sleepwalking towards it.”

They're sending DHS to stop 18 year olds from signing up to vote at schools. In case you wanted to know.

“It’s a white club, not a smart club” is the most succinct and correct explanation of American power structure maybe ever, somebody carve it over a driveway in Latin

I'm grateful Alan Dershowitz has lived long enough to learn that Woody Allen and Jeffrey Epstein were ridiculing him behind his back.

This you, trashass?

Gotta pay the king, no mechanism not to pay the king loool.

Scenes outside of the Washington Post headquarters right now:

A lifetime in the SEC has prepared me to meet this moment, personally

I get this, but here's where I'm at: Trump & Vance are the worst of us. America is bigger than them, and they win if we let them define us. Team USA is the best of us. It's filled with Americans MAGA hates—first-generation + immigrants, LGBTQ+ athletes, people of color—& I'm gonna root for them.

ICE is not welcome here. Want a sticker? Venmo [@]austinlouisray any amount of money and include your mailing address. 100% of the proceeds go to Minnesota mutual aid funds. Let's do some good this week: how-id-fix-atlanta.ghost.io/ice-is-not-w...

Laila Edwards has become the first Black woman to play for the United States at an Olympic women’s ice hockey tournament. Edwards has broken a barrier that had stood for nearly three decades since women’s hockey debuted at the Olympics in 1998. www.nytimes.com/athletic/702...

feeling sad must hit incredibly hard for a rich guy. Imagine thinking you can buy your way out of anything but you feel like dogshit on some random day. You think feeling bad is for poor people. This is why you should always find what a rich person hates about themselves and pick until it bleeds

As part of their commitment to "keeping print strong," they have laid off 80 percent of a world-class (literally, they have the awards to prove it) design staff as well as all of their photographers. Pretty bad look when you're lying to your highest paying customers right out of the gate.

Bitcoin people having their own little 1929 over there. Adorable

tomorrow i would really like to challenge a few folks with larger followings than me to adopt a rent and raise it in one day. my little group chat and my followers have paid like 70 families rents in the past four days. i believe that some of y’all could help us keep one family housed.

Baby, this is my calling

Whew okay wait ELEVEN

hark! a wild Super Bowl pre-view channel-6.ghost.io/slander-bowl...

I have slandered many things about the teams in the Super Bowl but it was for a purpose channel-6.ghost.io/slander-bowl...

NEW: Children are developing encephalitis as the South Carolina measles outbreak continues. @emilymullin.bsky.social has more:

The next time someone from WaPo contacts someone who shot cellphone video, asking for permission to use the clip -

Shirley Povich writing in 1962, with the most immaculate burn conceivable of the Redskins awful, vile owner George Preston Marshall, the last NFL owner to insist on an all white roster: "Jim Brown, born ineligible to play for the Redskins, integrated their end zone three times yesterday." RIP WaPo.

again we do not really do a good job of explaining how wealthy people like Jeff Bezos are his net worth is $253.2 billion. so he could take one million dollars, and just light it on fire and then do it again tomorrow and again the day after that and then do it every day for 693 years and 8 months

oh damn this really works

call that man a socialist now because he is publicly owned

“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

This is maybe the platonic ideal of a guy who watches videos about being an alpha male: getting your shit rocked by 15 year olds before being arrested

Oh hey it’s that man who got beat up by all those kids, and now we all know his name! What fun

We at the @postguild.bsky.social are raising money for the hundreds of journalists the Post just laid off. This goes to the people who are hurting, not the Post. Or if you'd rather, go subscribe to an independent journalist. Support is hugely appreciated. www.gofundme.com/f/standing-t...

this whole thing is on Bezos, a perfect example of why billionaires will not save us for years he supported the Post and then he decided destroying it utterly at the altar of a wannabe dictator better served his personal ambitions, so he did institutions shouldn’t live or did at one man’s whim

really casually saying "y'all better lawyer up bc your bosses are preparing to throw you under the bus" is an elite taunt, imo

I don't think people realise just how staggeringly rich 250 billion is. If you know someone who makes a quarter of a million a year, it's likely they're "your rich friend" because they're comparatively loaded. They would have to work *a million years* to get that much money.

As usual I can’t say it better than @billbarnwell.com already did, but Sarah is the gold standard

Not sure there are many people I've worked with who are more dedicated or have more integrity than Sarah. Just a world-class editor and human being.

I expected the cuts would be bad but I'm honestly stunned and sickened seeing how many great journalists the Washington Post just lost. People who nailed huge investigations, documented war zones, exposed horrific crimes, dropped all at once for failures they did not cause.
