I’m not sure if republicans are trying to govern or make the rapture happen. This is all so off the rails

At Largest ICE Detention Camp, Staff Bet on Detainee Suicides, AP Reports Camp East Montana has received several 911 calls in the span of five months about immigrants trying to harm themselves.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

It's a sign of the times that AI companies are deciding whether or not to allow the military to engage in mass surveillance of US citizens and this is treated as a legitimate debate of two reasonable positions.

Giardiniera is an underrated pizza topping (except here in Chicago, where it damn well better be an option).

I saw a comment the said we aren’t β€œangry enough.” But all we are is angry. Our veins circulate it like acid. It cracks our sternums. It poisons and paralyzes us. We hiss and spit at each other, all impotent, helpless rage.

We don’t need more anger. We need more direction.

Mexico has invited countries worldwide to send aid to them, and they will deliver it to Cuba, officially becoming an aid bridge to the Island. Mexico fully rejects the US blockade, and the Navy will continue to escort humanitarian ships to protect them from the US. Says:

"Cuba is not alone."

DoJ cases against protesters keep collapsing as officers’ lies are exposed in court String of embarrassing defeats for prosecutors as experts condemn DoJ effort to cast people as β€˜violent perpetrators’

"In Chicago, of 92 people arrested for assaulting or impeding officers last fall, 74 cases have resulted in no charges; in 13 cases, charges were filed and dismissed; and five charged cases were still pending *** As of the end of January, there have been no convictions."

WD and Seagate confirm: Hard drives for 2026 sold out Hyperscalers are tearing hard drives out of the hands of manufacturers. Prices are therefore also rising for SSDs.

I saw a conspiracy theory yesterday that the goal is to eliminate all local data storage and push everything into the corporate cloud where it will be scraped to train A.I. (and exploit us)

And I'm having a difficult time dismissing it

serious (if not unbiased) question: Can you name an artist, in any medium, with a body of work equivalent Frederick Wiseman's? 47 films over nearly 60 years, some of the best right at the end, a cumulative portrait of staggering breadth and insight. In movies? Only Scorsese comes close.

If this country was truly β€œpro-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 β€œlife.”

It’s about control.

15.02.2026 23:00 πŸ‘ 27438 πŸ” 7368 πŸ’¬ 784 πŸ“Œ 348

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally β€” almost certainly incomplete β€” includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

When the Supreme Court allowed immigration agents to consider race during sweeps, Justice Brett Kavanaugh said that citizens shouldn’t be concerned because agents will β€œpromptly let the individual go.”

For these Americans, that wasn’t true.

Pop star Bad Bunny needed a Puerto Rican history scholar. UW–Madison had just the one. Bad Bunny collaborated with UW–Madison history professor Jorell MelΓ©ndez-Badillo on Puerto Rican narratives that accompany the new album β€œDeBÍ TiRAR MΓ‘S FOToS.”

Not at all surprised to learn that Bad Bunny has a historical adviser. His halftime show was a reminder that our history and culture are deeply intertwined with the rest of the western hemisphere. We should think of his performance as part of #America250. #SuperBowl

Yeah, I don’t think vermouth has a high enough alcohol content for that. But it sounds great for deglazing the pot and starting a sauce.

It’s funny how few guardrails Trump has shown exist in government.

President decides to sell pardons to the highest bidder? Oops, I guess there’s nothing that can be done besides a few mean tweets.

Jasmine Crockett: β€œMost of us already know who Trump is β€” we already know there are no bounds to how low he’s willing to go. We know that he has no moral compass. We know that he is a disgrace β€” when will Republicans in Congress condemn his behavior β€” your silence is complicity & it is very loud”

REPEATING: Dems really need to begin more forcefully presenting a narrative that Trump is erratic and unstable and no longer able to carry out the duties of the presidency and therefore must be removed from office. It's time.
This needs to get into the public narrative articulately emphatically now.
