Every stage of this process - his arrest, spending a year in jail, being dumped on the streets to die - would be deeply shameful in a society that actually valued human life.

1am - run 3 miles, drink 2 beers, eat 2 tacos, go to sleep 7am - run 3 miles, eat 3 tacos 10am - drink 2 beers 12pm - run 4 miles Commit the next 12 hours to day drinking/party mode, consume the rest of 20 beers (may die) and 19 tacos (may throw up)

It's so funny watching our socialist GOAT continuously dogwalk the president.

Keir Starmer, again, is Welsh for "Gavin Newsom."

Yesterday I testified at the DC Council oversight hearing for MPD. Along with ~200 others, I provided detailed accounts of collaboration between our local police and the thousands of federal agents sent to terrorize us. Interim chief Jeffery Carroll’s testimony was just “nuh uh” #FreeDC

Oh, they're, like, PISSED pissed.

BREAKING: Columbia President Claire Shipman says DHS agents entered a residential buliding this morning and detained a student. "Our understanding at this time is that the federal agents made misrepresentations to gain entry to the building to search for a 'missing person.'"

CW: transphobia. See, this is why it can be painful to know too much history.🫤 This post implies that what is happening in Kansas is *similar* to what the nazis did. But it's not just similar. It's *identical*. In 1933, nazis revoked trans people's documents. Before 1938. Paragraph 175 and 183.

This is an all-timer in headlines where the use of the passive voice obscures a VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM with the basic premise of the story

the "just asking questions" to "legitimate questions about fairness in sports" to "the state doesn't have to consider us as real people" pipeline working exactly as designed.

The UN defines "forced displacement" as follows: displaced "as a result of persecution, conflict, generalized violence or human rights violations". Trump continues to stack up crimes against humanity, & he and his enablers & Collaborators will all be held to account in some form or fashion. Bet.

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker This was never about woman's sports

Meanwhile Nick Shirley, the dipshit MAGA influencer who started this whole racist panic about fraud at Somali-run daycares, is saying “EXPOSE IT ALL” in response to a deeply antisemitic video about ”New Jersey’s Jewish Invasion”

This is devastating, tragic, and powerful reporting. Underneath it all, it’s remarkable to see what Iranians will risk to be free. A reminder of how much we have left to lose and why it’s worth fighting for—and that once we reclaim our democracy, we’ll have an obligation to help others do the same.

Burn it all down

NPR tells us what we already know. Price Stickiness is a real thing. The Republican Party has pushed the price up of everything from a pickup truck to an avocado sky-high. Those prices aren't going down ever. The Golden Age for the rich has arrived. www.npr.org/2026/02/25/n...

Barrett wrote in her Skrmetti concurrence that there wasn’t a history of de jure discrimination against trans Americans, and the GOP has relentlessly sought to prove her wrong.

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license. This is pure cruelty. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...

the republican party line is, fairly explicitly, "we will kill your children if you don't vote for us because we know you won't kill our children if we don't vote for you," and the appropriate response to the existence of such a political party is to outlaw it

Here in black and white is the Florida proposal to ban doctors from even *talking* to teenagers about birth control without their parents' permission. It has passed three subcommittees We covered this bill in the @autonomynews.co weekly roundup: www.autonomynews.co/trump-judge-...

The most important hospital in Minnesota isn’t Mayo, it’s HCMC. Oppressed people statewide end up as economic refugees in Minneapolis, where HCMC is the hospital of last resort. If you’ve seen “The Pitt,” HCMC is our version of that. Their people care about you when nobody else will

DC’s interim police chief, Jeffery Carroll, is testifying right now in the DC Council’s oversight hearing for MPD. He just said that he doesn’t know of any instance of MPD violating the Sanctuary Values Act in the last 6 months. This reporting is from today:

I live in Minnesota and I want the federal government to stop trying to kill us. And hurt us. I want them to stop attacking us. It sucks. We’re just trying to live our lives and take care of each other and we don’t deserve all this. I kid around sometimes here but I’m not kidding now.

The final witness of today's MPD Oversight Hearing is Interim Chief Jeffery Carroll. Here are Councilmembers' questions and his responses. 🧵

simple harassment of Blue States, continuing their war against the constitution.

*raises hand* who's taking the ubers and where are they going

I keep saying "there is no bottom," and that's because this fascist regime will go to infinite lengths to silence people. Last night, Aliya Rahman, a US citizen, a disabled person, and a victim of violence by ICE in Minneapolis, was ARRESTED by Capitol Police at the State of the Union last night.

😐

historical detail I can't help but bring up: by some accounts, the event that instigated the British soldiers to open fire on Crispus Attacks and the rest of the crowd in the Boston Massacre was a soldier being hit by a snowball

“We are a nation commanded by the sort of people who would have stolen something off of a coworker’s desk before evacuating their World Trade Center office on 9/11”

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

They found him. He died. Another murder by our immigration goon squads

You don’t say.

These pro-Crockett ads say they are paid for by "American Sovereignty." As MoJo has reported, this is a right-wing group that ran pro-ICE ads during the Super Bowl, whose operatives have ties to Elon Musk's America PAC www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

NEW: The New York Times confirms my reporting that the DOJ is withholding several FBI interviews with a woman who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her as a child www.nytimes.com/2026/02/25/u...

Watching this appalling travesty of a hearing and wondering how many Democrats are going to vote to confirm this horrible, horrible woman.

Brown. The word you’re looking for is brown.

Thanks for the campaign ad, Mike.

You can't sue the government if postal workers accidentally drop the glassware you ordered or lose a letter from your pen pal The Supreme Court ruled yesterday that this means you also can't sue if postal workers refuse to deliver your mail because you're Black ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/posta...

oh yeah, this is another key point. BBC and BAFTA apparently *did* edit out a whole bunch of other slurs that Davidson shouted, they just left that one in. wonder why! bsky.app/profile/segy...

I wrote about the US funneling pregnant children in immigrant detention to a Texas facility where their rights can be more effectively restricted. I hear echoes of disappeared parents and kidnapped children in Argentina decades ago. In each case, the intent is to inflict deep generational trauma.

A “scuffle” in which the police chief strangled a child.

Definitely the first State of the Union where the president talked about the military killing unarmed fishermen as a laugh line

i think we can just say it's a lie! that he's told literally dozens of times for the last several months!

“Yesterday I reviewed unredacted evidence logs at the Department of Justice. Oversight Democrats can confirm that the DOJ appears to have illegally w/held FBI interviews w/ this survivor who accused President Trump of heinous crimes. Oversight Democrats will open a parallel investigation into this."
