Sean Hannity praised Steve Witkoff for his excellent negotiations skills. Witkoff is a real estate developer with no diplomatic experience before Trump put him and his son-in-law Jared Kushner in charge of deals with Iran, Russia and Hamas. Two billionaire real estate developers...not diplomats.

Annie Abrams is doing some of the best commentary on ongoing efforts to make k-12 teaching increasingly rigid and unimaginative, with teachers themselves enjoined to be little more than automatons. Strong pressure to use teaching scripts — scripts that encourage children to memorize but not think.
I recently rewatched Borat, and human gun store owners were happily doling out these kinds of recommendations—on camera—20 years ago.
AI is horrible because it was trained on our culture, and our culture is horrible.
“The indispensability of a liberal education is the freedom from being tied to the zeitgeist of one’s age or situation to love what is true, good, and beautiful, and to be initiated into the world while cultivating a love for it.” www.liberalcurrents.com/upholding-li...
The idea that America isn’t for everyone who wants to be an American is something that makes my blood boil. Posting a photo of yourself as a Congressman smiling next to these words is wicked. It’s antithetical to the concept of America.
When witnesses try to dodge basic oversight, firm questioning becomes necessary. Congress exists to demand answers, not to host evasions. The exchange shows a simple democratic principle: public officials and power brokers are accountable to elected representatives.
A new 2,159-sq-km corridor in Ecuador now links high-elevation Andes ecosystems with the lowland Amazon. This "altitudinal connectivity" between Llanganates National Park and Yasuní Reserve is vital for species migrating in response to climate change and habitat loss.

what if there were reasons besides “beta cuck woke libtard” that previous presidents didnt try to deter irans nuclear program through brute force and military action?
As of February 7, 2026, ICE is detaining 68,289 people. 73.6% of them (over 50,000 individuals) have no criminal conviction. Many of those who do were convicted only of minor offenses, including traffic violations.
DHS Secretary Noem has said ICE should aim to hold 100,000 people in detention daily. For context, there are approximately 155,000 people in all federal prisons combined.

Why read past headlines: The same day SCOTUS allowed teachers to out trans kids to abusive parents who wish to beat the queer out of them, Ken Paxton denied loving parents the right to support trans kids by providing mental health care.
Analysis.

While people emboldened and enabled by the federal government went on a directed mission to eliminate approved projects from the National Endowment for the Humanities, we are supposed to believe that the real problem in the humanities is the private, “woke” Mellon Foundation…
This happens because a surprising amount of the social work of foster care is contracted through faith based agencies. Some of which even require foster parent to sign statements of faith! Evangelical agencies want to either refuse to take, or refuse to support LGBTQ+ youth. #fostercare
“I wish I could say how cavalier, obtuse and hopeless Secretary Hegseth is at leading the Pentagon. I can’t even muster the words to describe his self-adulation, matched only in scope by his apparent moral depravity.”

This is Felicia Skene (1821-1899), a pioneer social worker who supported Oxford's homeless and women fleeing sex work. She became the first female visitor allowed into prisons in England and advocated for prisons to be places of reform instead of punishment.

On the 61st anniversary of Bloody Sunday, we remember the hundreds of peaceful protestors who were beaten and brutalized as they marched for the freedom to vote. Their bravery and resilience continues to inspire us today and reminds us to never give up.

🚨 How about that: more evidence that #EpsteinDidntKillHimself in addition to Dr. Michael Baden’s statement that Epstein’s injuries—including a broken hyoid bone—were a sign of strangulation.

Here in Illinois, we honor the powerful women who paved the way for our state.
Unlike Trump, we see their strength — and we're proud of it.
On International Women’s Day and every day, we recognize that all of us have a better future when everyone reaches their full potential.
“They were careless people … — they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made”
Trying desperately to see ANY bright side -- it's never been a better time to be a decent hetero guy who wants a full partner and knows how to do his own laundry and actively likes women as people.
Rep. Lieu calls for a new investigation into Epstein’s death after released documents show a prison guard responsible for checking on him deposited $5000 into her account 10 days before his death and googled him right before he was found.

Camp Guards sure seem to think it’s a death camp.
We have openly attacked a highly militarized state who uses asymmetric warfare routinely. As @malcolmnance.bsky.social pointed out today, the USS Cole wasn’t damaged by a missile strike, but by a suicide bomber.
Breaking 🚨
His name is Emmanuel Damas, 56, & ICE KILLED HIM by ignoring his pleas for medical attention in detention for weeks!
He died of a fkin tooth infection!
The infection caused septic shock & pneumonia.
Call Congress: 202-224-3121 & condemn the systemic neglect in these ICE torture mills.
BRENNAN: The US is suspending some sanctions on Russia. But doesn't Russia financially benefit?
WRIGHT: Right now we're worried about Iran & US consumers
B: Russia was helping Iran
W: Well, there's been rumors. We don't know
B: Iranian drones have Russian parts in them. They're sharing intel
As I said today, the fight for women’s rights isn’t ancient history, it’s ongoing!
My photo shows a view looking straight down an ancient street in Pompeii. The road is made of large, unevenly-shaped, rounded gray stone blocks. Running lengthwise through the stones are two shallow grooves—parallel tracks worn into the stone by the passage of wagon wheels centuries ago. On both sides of the street are pedestrian pavements, raised about a step higher than the road. Beyond the pavements are the remains of buildings with thick walls made of rough stone and reddish bricks. The roofs and upper floors are gone. The street stretches straight into the distance, narrowing with perspective. A few small human figures and trees in the distance, emphasize how long the road is. Above the street, the blue sky is streaked with thin, wispy clouds. At the far end of the street, rising behind the ruins, there’s a glimpse of the dark, lower slope of Mount Vesuvius, the volcano whose eruption buried Pompeii in AD 79.
Wheel ruts worn into the roads of ancient Pompeii made by the passage of wagons and carts some 2,000+ years ago.
A reminder to modern visitors of ancient traffic which flowed through busy Pompeian streets.
