One thing that’s always been wild to me is there inability to recognize who the bad guy is. Jessup, Patrick Bateman, Jordan Belfort. These guys consistently idolize the obvious villain.
Good morning! Yes, this is he
This morning I called James and congratulated him on becoming the Senate nominee. Texas is primed to turn blue and we must remain united because this is bigger than any one person. This is about the future of all 30 million Texans and getting America back on track. With the primary behind us, Democrats must rally around our nominees and win. I'm committed to doing my part and will continue working to elect democrats up and down the ballot.
Jasmine is a class act.
I feel like we typically see these sorts of completely outraged opinions from federal judges a couple times a year across the whole country, maybe a little more often in last few years. Now, in cases stemming from Trump's immigration crackdown, judges are ringing the alarm bell several times a week.
Obligatory
“.. Neither the Israeli nor U.S. government has directly addressed the strike on the school. But the U.S. Central Command said on Saturday that it was ‘aware of reports concerning civilian harm’ and was ‘looking into them.’”

Paperback edition of There Is No Place for Us: Working and Homeless in America by Brian Goldstone
Today the paperback of THERE IS NO PLACE FOR US is out.
It's arriving in a country once again waging war—a country that can spend tens of billions on bombs without blinking, while millions of Americans are one missed paycheck, one rent hike away from homelessness.
Let's take stock of where we are.
LLMs as contrast dye for where resources are missing.
Just remember what this is all for…. Distracting from the Epstein files
“More than one hundred Republican election deniers currently sit in Congress—one-fifth of the Senate and over one-fourth of the House. Put simply, many of the officials who joined Trump in menacing the Democrats in attendance are committed on record to the overthrow of our democracy.”
It's felt for months now that the fed govt is doing everything it can, including acts of violence, to make the Twin Cities unlivable. Vance's announcement shows that effort continues even if Trump's thugs aren't killing people in the street rn. I just don't see how this can go on for 3 more years.
The Constitution clearly gives Congress the power to spend taxpayer funds, and no law allows the president to halt if he feels some US states aren’t being “good stewards” of the money.
In case there’s any confusion on this, the Impoundment Control Act forbids it.
Taxation without representation.
“He acknowledged to the dispatcher that he was planning to get out of his vehicle. The dispatcher interjected.
‘Why? You can drive away. We have officers en route to you,’ the dispatcher said. ‘I don’t want you guys getting into any more of a dispute.’”
ICYMI: I got body cam footage of a guy being wrongly arrested for trafficking fentanyl based on unreliable roadside test kits that police used.
And because of a 20,000-case backlog at the South Carolina state drug lab, it took him a year and a half to clear his name reason.com/2026/02/23/h...
U.S. Olympic gold medal winning women’s hockey team to Trump on his SOTU invite: PUCK OFF!
The people most severely assaulted by ICE/CBP in Minnesota are dead, but glad someone from there will be at SOTU to represent the damage done.
What channel is the Bad Bunny SOTU on?
If the whole chamber started chanting “Epstein Epstein Epstein” during Trumps SOTU speech, that would be just.

I don't think it's a good thing for society that everything is now gambling
It sure seems like every other country is holding their predators accountable, but in America we keep on protecting ours. It'd sure be nice to put all these perverts in jail where they belong and finally get justice for the victims.

After considerable soul-searching, I feel compelled to withdraw from the BAFTA emerging talent judging panel. The organisation's handling of the unfortunate Tourette's N-Word incident last night at the awards was utterly unforgivable. I cannot and will not contribute my time energy and expertise to an organisation that has repeatedly failed to safeguard the dignity of its Black guests, members and the Black creative community. This is particularly unfortunate given that this year's cohort boasts some incredible Black talent, especially one of my favourite shows of 2025 "Just Act Normal". However, when an organisation like BAFTA, with its own long history of systemic racism, refuses to acknowledge the harm inflicted on both the Black and disabled communities and offer an appropriate apology, remaining involved would be tantamount to condoning its behaviour. I hope BAFTA leadership comprehend the damage they and the BBC have caused and take the necessary steps to ensure their production staff are inclusive enough to prevent such an issue in the future. Yours sincerely, Jonte Richardson
Black filmmaker Jonte Richardson says he is stepping down as a BAFTA judge:

Former ICE agent:
On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant.
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."
The reason we're here is that tens of millions of people will punch a hole in a wall if they hear someone used food stamps to buy soda but they're fine if the right-wing podcaster turned fbi director uses his taxpayer funded private jet to go party whenever he feels like it bsky.app/profile/thed...
Every new state I move to I always look up the history of slavery there so I can understand the land, and the people who are there.
In our area of Baltimore County where I lived, there were breeding plantations.
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.
So you get out your Fascism for Dummies book for the 15 things you do, and we tried to include as many of them as we could in the most artful way possible. How were we supposed to know that this clown car in Washington was going to basically use the same book that we used? So I don't think it's prescience so much as the sad familiarity of fascism and the karaoke menu of things that you go through to do it. You could list them from the show, or you could list them from the newspaper.
