ICE Poses a Real Threat to Our Elections DHS has built a national police force with massive surveillance capabilities — which it could use to interfere with our elections.

"The department is quickly metastasizing into a grave threat to the midterms, public safety, and our democracy — and Democrats are wasting time worried about their uniforms."

Imagine the reaction in the US if ~175 schoolgirls had been killed by a targeted Iranian missile. (Or anyone's missile.)

This is an atrocity.

This might be the best argument for renewables, and active ways of getting around cities like walking, biking and public transit, that we could possibly think of.

weird i thought bari had a strongly held moral view that journalism meant you couldn't run a story without comment from the other side

Alabama set to execute man who did not kill anyone Unless Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey intervenes, Charles “Sonny” Burton, 75, will be executed Thursday. He is among thousands in America convicted under a controversial felony murder law.

A. This is awful and no one, wherever you stand on the death penalty, should be okay with it

B. This is a good headline that refuses to equivocate

Wondering if the media would've chosen "honored" as the verb if Obama had saluted fallen soldiers in a fucking baseball cap

I think it's great that the president put on his most solemnly branded baseball cap to receive the returning coffins of soldiers killed in the unnecessary war he launched to distract from his failing presidency and pedophilia scandal.

Look at that gold-like letting. Classy as shit.

ICO writes to Meta over 'concerning' AI smart glasses report Videos, including of glasses-wearers using the toilet or having sex, are sometimes reviewed by a Kenya-based subcontractor.

Last year when I was checking into a hotel, the desk person was wearing Meta glasses. I kindly asked them to take them off. They were annoyed. I said, “I do not consent to you looking at my credit card and ID with Meta glasses on.” My instincts were correct: www.bbc.com/news/article...

“At the end of the day, she didn’t sound any better than some of these ultra-conservative people who were demeaning Black and Brown folk on a regular basis,” said Rev. Rodney Sadler, a Bible scholar and longtime community activist in Charlotte. “It felt like a betrayal of the utmost.”

Cunningham’s comments proved so problematic for Sadler that he said he realized that she was “no longer worthy of being our representative” and he had to run against her. “It drove me to a point of saying, ‘She needs to go, and she needs to go now,’” the 58-year-old pastor, who works at Charlotte’s Union Presbyterian Seminary, told Bolts.

this guy challenged a sitting Democratic lawmaker in yesterday's primary, angered by her pro-ICE vote, and he ousted her 70% to 22%.

It’s not the main point—the human toll of the war is—but a friend pointed out that the three lost F-15s cost more than the entire annual National Labor Relations Board budget and I have been thinking about every Board case I’ve ever had that just sat due to overloaded (but dedicated) staff.

Tillis to Noem: "A 14 month old dog is basically a teenager in dog years. You decided to kill that dog bc you hadn't invested the appropriate training, then you have the audacity to write a book & say it's a leadership lesson! ... Those are bad decisions not unlike what happened in Minneapolis"

Elon Musk’s Secret Web of Companies in Texas

NEW: Elon Musk said he was “selling almost all physical possessions” when he moved to Texas. Nope. Instead, he has secretly amassed land and penthouses and planes and mansions. We just had to spend months digging through private company records to find it all. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/27/t...

After years of right-wing complaints about “censorship” and the “liberal media” the entire mainstream media apparatus has quickly become the handpicked political propaganda arm of Donald Trump’s GOP, and all those people who pretended to care about bias in media have gone dead silent.

Between the NFL’s absurd beatification of Charlie Kirk and the USA men’s players giggling like schoolchildren for Kash Patel and Donald Trump, American sports leagues are in a really rotten place.
