Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy.
What's required is investment in working people — and better wages.
When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.
Remember this.

The principal function of Fox News, Newsmax and similar fringe right outlets is to teach Americans to hate their fellow Americans if their political views, skin color, religion, sexual orientation or ethnicity are different. That's having a strong effect.
Whenever I see Hillary- smart, witty, sensible I remember what a tragedy that Americans hate women so that they picked Trump over her. This is why we can’t have nice things.
CBS, Fox, the Washington Post, and Twitter are all owned by Trump-loving billionaires and soon CNN will be too. Here's why American media has a liberal bias problem.
I think it’s telling that ICE’s rouses target the most prosocial human behaviors, as though they understand our universal impulse to help and support others in need, as though they aim to kill those very impulses as they tear apart our society
A reminder that white nationalism isn't just abhorrent, it's stupid.

Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.
👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics.

I will never forget the coverage from Chicago the night Obama won, with the closeup of Jesse Jackson with tears running down his face. RIP, Mr. Jackson.

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.
If we don’t want to repeat history – then for God’s sake in this moment we better be strong enough to learn from it.

Is there something a little weird about making fun of Elon for valorizing white culture then getting really into curling? It seems to have caught on in China, Korea and Japan...
Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.
"The first person to be executed for treason in the US was not a spy or someone who sold secrets to a foreign government. It was not a Confederate general who took up arms against his government. It was an abolitionist named John Brown." from @nhannahjones.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/m...
Sometimes I remember Reagan removing Jimmy Carter’s solar panels and I think we’ve been enduring this shit for way too many years.
Sometimes very hard not to feel like the rest of the country has abandoned Minnesota. We STILL have ICE everywhere. Our schools, businesses, and economy are in profound crisis. But without Bovino here throwing tear gas, much of the country seems to not care at all what’s being done to us.

ICE Barbie’s full name is Kristi Lynn Arnold Noem. The initials spell KLAN. Sometimes the universe writes the joke itself.

Welcome to the Winter Olympics don't ask about how many people died or were injured in the making of this sport please and thank you.
By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet
1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.
Portland mayor:
"To those who continue to work for ICE: Resign. To those who control this facility: Leave.
"To those who continue to make these sickening decisions, go home, look in a mirror, and ask yourselves why you have gassed children..."
