ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.
Shit.
Senator John Fetterman’s response to @premthakker.bsky.social when asked about the illegal US strike on an Iranian Naval ship in international waters:
“I want to offer condolences to your boss [Mehdi]. I know he’s all broke up about the Ayatollah.”
All I can think about is Jeff Bezos saying that he slashed jobs at the Washington Post — including those of foreign correspondents in the Middle East — based on "the data," and a few weeks later a whole war breaks out in the Middle East that these laid off folks would have covered as true experts.
Israel’s plan to strike Iran would put American lives at risk, Rubio said. Rather than confronting Israel, the U.S. joined their war.
for those of you who werent adults during iraq, its hard to overstate how much the media loves war porn. they salivate over pentagon spin briefings. they love stories about all the bombs and how supposedly infallible they are. they love the notion of the commander in chief, in the situation room etc
The situation in Minneapolis: even though the ICE presence in the city is greatly reduced, and national attention has moved on, a huge portion of our population remains essentially in hiding, devastating the schools and economy. In particular, much of the education system remains in crisis
The Guardian has identified the Columbia student abducted by DHS as Ellie Aghayeva. She posted the IG story below:

An image of an official announcement from Columbia University in the City of New York, dated February 26, 2026. The letter is signed by Claire Shipman, Acting President. The text states that at 6:30 a.m. that morning, Department of Homeland Security agents entered a Columbia Residential building and detained a student, allegedly using misrepresentations about searching for a "missing person" to gain entry. The announcement reiterates university policy that law enforcement must have a judicial warrant or subpoena to access non-public areas, noting that an administrative warrant is insufficient. It instructs community members to ask agents to wait and to contact Public Safety if they seek entry to such areas. The university notes it is working to gather details, reach the student's family, and provide legal support.
Columbia University just emailed affiliates letting them know that federal agents from DHS abducted a student this morning from a campus residence under false pretenses and with no warrant or probable cause.
NEW: Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils & paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims.

Top Democratic officials who worked on the party's still-secret autopsy of the 2024 election concluded that Kamala Harris lost significant support because of the Biden administration's approach to the war in Gaza, Axios has learned.
The Trump Admin is urging SCOTUS to find that a law disarming cannabis users is constitutional because founder-era laws authorized taking guns away from "habitual drunkards" to preserve public safety.

CNN doing PR for Johnson here by claiming "the general practice is for presidents, select military officials & select government officials to lie in honor" without noting exceptions. Like Billy Graham. So White preacher gets to lie in state but not Black one?
A federal judge narrowed a pool of 92 prospective jurors in a class action brought by former Twitter investors against Elon Musk, excusing 38 potential jurors who said they couldn't be impartial as Musk's atty said there are "so many people who hate him so much."

Hey yeah I have a clear answer- it’s because Alex Pretti was legally armed and they used it to justify his extrajudicial murder at the hands of the state. It did not allow him to defend himself against the state. Hope this helps!

We still imprison people for marijuana. www.justice.gov/usao-ne/pr/o...
Yep. United States of America v. Baxter, case number 25-2752, in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit.
New York cannabis regulators and a licensed cannabis business have urged a state appellate court to find that the state's marijuana law preempts localities from enforcing more stringent location policies for marijuana stores than what is found in state law.

The DOJ told the 8th Circuit that a federal law barring cannabis users from owning guns is constitutional since it's analogous to historical laws preventing the mentally ill or dangerous drunkards from owning guns. www.law360.com/articles/244...

Have you ever once seen the New York Times quote Trump like this?
NEW: “CBS Evening News” producer Alicia Hastey sends a bombshell farewell note:
Stories are “evaluated not just on their journalistic merit but on whether they conform to a shifting set of ideological expectations.”
NEW: ICE is leasing offices throughout the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign. WIRED is publishing dozens of these locations.
“If a family tells us there were five people inside, and we only recover three intact bodies, we treat the remaining two as ‘evaporated’ only after an exhaustive search yields nothing but biological traces—blood spray on walls or small fragments like scalps,” he added.
Israel used illegal, US-made bombs to "evaporate" almost 3,000 Palestinians.
