"Rogan, Schulz, and Von now express reservations & regrets, which is fine & merits some praise & encouragement. But for the kid traumatized by watching his dad or abuelita forced to the ground, handcuffed, & whisked away in a van, the pod-bros’ awakenings come too late." — @schaller67.bsky.social
I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party.
We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness — or one rooted in cruelty and rage.
Gallego: "They're going and racially profiling people and rounding up Americans until they can prove their citizenship. That money came from kicking millions and millions of Americans off Medicaid. It was the same bill. They cut Medicaid to expand ICE."
Liu and her father, who had protested the Chinese government after the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre, were targeted in an alleged spying scheme months before Liu competed at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.
A son of sharecroppers, a Freedom Rider, a moral force in Congress, John Lewis taught us that democracy is not a state, it is an act. When we see injustice, we do not look away. We get in good trouble. And we build bridges despite adversity. Happy Heavenly Birthday, Congressman.
This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported.
He finally died.
I am so angry.

‘Reimagining matter’: Nobel laureate invents machine that harvests water from dry air
Love our institutions and public goods being repeatedly fucked up by the clowniest clowns to ever clown
👀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.
"It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
One indication that congress may have miscalibrated the homeland security budget would be the secretary ordering herself an entire Leisure Suit Larry fuckjet
Ossoff: "There are some folks who are doomscrolling in the fetal position. Every day there is a new outrage. It's easy I know to fear that maybe we could lose our republic. I think what John Lewis would tell us is it's up to us. We have the power to right the ship. Nobody is gonna do it for us."
Two female ICE agents popped the hood of their car and knocked on the door of a mechanic born in Mexico. He went out to help.
“A bunch of agents jump out and tackle him, essentially restraining him, and take him away...His six kids are now without their father." www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
Secretary of Ballroom, a cabinet label position
On February 19, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed E.O. 9066, authorizing the forced relocation & incarceration of more than 125,000 Japanese Americans, solely because of their heritage.
The American president is more insulated from accountability than a British royal.
Our political system provides the elite with immunity. It has to change.
The President is lying to the public:
1) For the past century, the federal government has been responsible for the Potomac Interceptor – not Maryland. The sewage pipe is on federal land.

New in PN: "Just making s**t up" — @volts.wtf sounds off on the EPA
“How the f**k are they going to do that? If you can get the Supreme Court to rule carbon is not a danger to public health, it will mark the point at which they have abandoned all pretense, because that’s just a flat out lie.”
If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''
i‘m using it for a column but i want to share here this line from lincoln on jefferson because it is applies to our situation as well. you can find it in his april 6, 1859 letter to henry l. pierce.
If you want to understand why rich guys are turning back to eugenics and recreating the rhetoric and theology of slavery, it’s because they know on some level this level of wealth inequality is unjustifiable bsky.app/profile/marl...
This is a nice move in an interview www.nytimes.com/2026/02/16/u...
No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."
politicians should spend less time managing expectations of by telling voters what a minority party can't pass and instead engage in this four-step process:
1) say what you think is right
2) obstruct whatever isn't that
3) lose if that's how it goes
4) remind voters who passed the evil law

Major update: Trump suggests nationalizing elections (taking control) in certain Democratic states.
Tulsi Gabbard and Trump personally spoke with FBI agents who raided the Georgia election office.
Blanche defends those who “partied” with Jeffrey Epstein as I find more documents.
Deutsche Bank here with the good stuff.
Game on.
