Got my pattern!
I was recently chatting with a Los Angeles teenager who, thanks to decades of clear air initiatives, had never heard of "smog." I warned her that she's about to become all-too-familiar with it. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/16/c...
I watched the whole thing because it's astonishing
That’s terrible….
Fuck ICE
STRONG MESSAGING about the seriousness of the cold and wind on Saturday from the National Weather Service. Power outages possible. Longest period with subzero wind chills in 30+ years.
A good day to stay inside, or bundle up big time if you have to be outside.
Ian McKellen performs “The Strangers’ Case” speech from “Sir Thomas More” on Colbert.
This moment is bringing out the best in some of us (like this speaker) and bringing out the worst in others of us. This is a time for choosing to live a life that you're proud of, or not. ❤️
A song I love by a songwriter I love sung by a singer I love, and I bet you'll enjoy this too.
The aptly-named "Snow Moon" was a stunner Sunday night.
Check out this incredible capture from Dave Lyons.
Picture-perfect framing as the full moon rose above the U.S. Capitol and aligned with the Statue of Freedom.

Independent journalist Georgia Fort was also arrested by federal agents earlier for reporting on the church protest in Minneapolis. She was live streaming when agents arrived to take her into custody.

BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...
pretty wild statement re: Republican Chris Madel drop from race for MN governor:
"Saying he cannot support the national GOP's 'stated retribution on citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so."
One of the best things I’ve read in a while:
The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
This witness to Alex Pretti's murder not only refutes the governmen't story, but says she is afraid to go home because federal agents might arrest her. This is what it feels like to live under state terror.

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.
Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.
"Please get the truth out about our son."
The footage coming out of Minnesota is outrageous.
The violence unleashing in this country is a direct result of Trump and his reckless Administration. These masked, armed, and untrained agents are inflicting real pain on our communities. Their presence isn’t making Americans safer.
Enough.
Do not say anything here you don't want read back to you in court.
You don't want to watch. All caveats about what we don't know during a breaking news event, but it looks very very very bad.
I'd only add, if you vote to fund ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You're also complicit
Die Hard was actually appropriated from pagans
Read this. Merry Christmas indeed
