Our official SOTU rebuttal:

Anyway, super happy that this stuff is being forced into every nook and cranny of the Pentagon

This morning’s new snow is ridiculous, uncalled for, and if I may say so, personally offensive.

Happy Twin Peaks day!

“The Justice Department has withheld some Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor, an NPR investigation finds. It also removed some documents from the public database where accusations against Jeffrey Epstein also mention Trump.” www.npr.org/2026/02/24/n...

Want to know how bad the blizzard is here in the Northeast? For the first time in its 153-year-history, @bostonglobe.com management has decided not to print and deliver a paper tonight. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/02/23/b...

Why are these allowed to be sold?

My god has there ever been a sharper and easier choice than "hang out with Trump at the WH" and "hang out with Flavor Flav in Las Vegas"

"minority leader gets all the anti trans language removed from budget bill despite it being a loud major public objective of the majority party" is a thing that happened and is more impressive than anyone on this site gives credit for

Bartiromo throws Bessent a softball quote from an ally of the president but Bessent is too dumb to realize it, even after she corrects him, and just keeps shitting on a supporter.

I'm not saying the person running The White House Twitter account should be the first prosecution of the American Nuremberg/New Reconstruction but I wouldn't let them fall outside the top 10, imo.

Kean just admitted he has no influence with this admin. If he has no influence with his own party’s administration, why should anyone want him to represent them in Congress? Vote him out.

🙄 Back to using travelers as leverage now, even though DHS is sitting on enough unspent money to last multiple fiscal years. They didn’t even stop PreCheck & Global Entry during the last government shutdown because those programs actually require *less* staffing.

Again, everything else about the fascism is downstream from the fact that his presidency didn’t immediately end the second he started monetizing his hotel around the corner from the White House in 2017. We just yawned, as a society & a polity, at unprecedented & wildly unconstitutional corruption.

This is the kind of logic that will get used to justify genocide. If the oligarchs value AI as much as human life, they will have no qualms with depriving millions of the resources necessary to live in order to power their machines.

This is peak truck. Big bed. Not stupidly tall and bulky. Great paint job. This is what truck should be

The logic here only makes sense if you assume AI and human beings are in a competition for resources (which in some meaningful sense might be true), and that the most efficient consumer of resources for performing AI-related functions should be allowed to win (which is pathological).

“As Karen got to know the guards at the Northwest ICE Processing Center where she was held, she kept hearing the same thing from them: that ICE officers are paid a bonus every time they detain someone. “Individual ICE agents get money per head that they detain – the guards told me that.””

the thing about chicago pope is he’s got bars

Judge Goodwin: "An anonymous government is no government at all. It cannot be held accountable. A masked agent freely uses force without justifying his actions, and the public cannot name him to challenge his conduct. A regime of secret policing has no place in our society."

stancil agreeing to be profiled as part of a piece covering the situation in minneapolis, but then it only being about him, really gives away that our established media/political class *only* care about content and how it plays on twitter/etc. they don't care about policy, they care about posts

@reckless.bsky.social, I have always had a lot of respect for you personally and what you do, but this is piece-of-shit slop. You should be embarrassed. I'm canceling our subscription.

ICE murdered this man nearly a year ago and they covered it up.

Interviewer: "When you look at today's numbers, what do they tell us about the effectiveness of Donald Trump's tariffs." Me, very serious economist: "Hahahahahahahahahahaha.... hahahahahahahaha.... hahahahahahahahahaha... oh, wow." Sometimes all you can do is laugh at the absurdity of it all.

I’m old enough to remember when gambling was widely illegal. Things were better.

This GOOD BOY ran onto the course during the Women’s Cross-Country Skiing Team Sprint event, crossing the finish line and being automatically recorded by OMEGA’s photofinish camera 😆

Like how the Nazis wanted to make my grandparents show documents with yellow stars? Camps and yellow stars - it’s clear who these clowns idolize.

Rev. Jesse Jackson's "I *am* somebody..." remains one of the all-time great pieces of 20th century rhetoric / agitprop And he could deliver it at a Black separatist meeting, the Democratic National Convention, or on god-blessed Sesame Street (see below 🥹) RIP to the Voice of the Voiceless

It drives me insane that Elon Musk basically did a Holodomor on the third world and it's not treated like a bigger deal. This should be the number one thing that people know him for. This should be in the first paragraph of his Wikipedia entry. This is a history book scale atrocity.

I think we can settle the Cardi B - Nicki Minaj beef once and for all

Page 15 of the GOP’s Save America Act wld force all 50 states to submit their voter rolls to the DHS’s centralized voter purge program (called “SAVE”), which they know has had error rates as high as 14% & links to an SSA database that they know was compromised by DOGE. #NoOnSave 1/

Calling it now: the US political media's treatment of AOC is going to make their treatment of Hillary Clinton or Al Gore look like a model of balance and discretion.

100%

You can’t call these people “pro-life.”

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

I keep thinking that someday I will become used to the hideousness of cybertrucks and they will finally blend into the background and every time I see one I am struck anew by how awful they are

The pace at which US wealth concentration is rising is simply staggering The concentration of AI wealth into the hands of a few tech barons + plutocratic capture ==> unchartered territory

in hindsight, the vibes were obviously bad in 2024 when MSM outlets started trying to fact check harris and trump equally as if they were lying at the same level leading to headlines like this

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

“what cool shit can I do as Mayor? oh, I can marry people? awesome, let’s do it” once again the constant theme of “New York is great, New Yorkers are great, isn’t this great?” comes through

Remarkable: Majority of working class voters oppose deportations of undocumented immigrants with jobs/no criminal records, per new Marquette data. Remember how pundits said 2024 meant Dems must become restrictionist to win back working class? I challenge that here: newrepublic.com/article/2059...

DHS is shutting down because it refuses to obey the law. They are tear-gassing schools, killing American citizens, and disappearing legal immigrants. Democrats shouldn’t fund an out of control ICE.

This is something the Nazis used to do to Jewish children in the camps. It happened to a man I knew when he was a child in Auschwitz. The camp guards thought it was funny as hell.

Anyone currently involved in federal immigration enforcement, every officer, every bureaucrat, every lawyer, every judge, is a member of the most evil group of people this country has seen since Reconstruction. Darkness personified, every one. Doing this to children is beyond depraved.

Marco Rubio telling Jeffrey Epstein he loves him in 2016

Amazon made almost $90 BILLION last year—a 45% hike in profit. Thanks to Trump's corporate tax breaks, they're paying billions LESS in taxes than in 2024. So Amazon just made billions from American consumers. And we're getting billions less back from them. This makes no sense.

A weird thing I've noticed is that W. Bush District Court appointees tend to be more willing to openly oppose the administration than Obama appointees and I'm generally unclear as to why.
