there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for
Anyone: Who will get Hunt's votes in the Cornyn-Paxton runoff?
Really seems like Trump and the FCC clinched it for Talarico!
I see you flipping through the pages
Of books by millionaires
Who found that Jesus Christ could guide them
Into tripling their sales

When the U.S. lost troops ending the Afghan war, Republicans were apoplectic. Now that we've lost troops waging an idiotic war against the most powerful country in the Middle East, all we get is Β―\_(γ)_/Β―.
I really hope there's a slice of MAGAworld that realizes how bad they got scammed.
Some absolutely amazing Streisand Effect happening here
Map showing tens of thousands of protests across the US between Trump's inauguration last year and January 31, 2026.
The volume & geographic distribution of protest nationwide during year 1 of Trump's second term was extraordinary.
I fucking love @thehandsomefamily.bsky.social

Theyβve been blasting boats in the Gulf of Mexico; maybe something analogous on land? Jesus, I hope not.
Seems to be nothing but empty desert in the trapezoid. My only guess is that the Trump administration is planning some spectacular immigration-related border operation.
1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isnβt sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.
Tip o' the hat to Drudge.
The accusations against Trump in the latest Epstein dump are beyond lurid. DOJ took them down after 20 minutes, but plenty of people got screenshots. Stomach-churning.

Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive β because of its diversity and not in spite of it.

This, from @adamserwer.bsky.social, is unimprovable:
The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that theyβre the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once.

I wrote about the New York Times refusing to call Neo-segregationists by their true names, the DARVO style of writing about race, and some great articles and books I read this week.
If you haven't subscribed to my newsletter with @hebagowayed.bsky.social yet, now is the time.
IKR?
Thinking of making this my profile banner.
"Abolish ICE" β "abolish the police." The former won't get the pushback the latter did.
People are realizing that ICE is nothing more than an internal paramilitary doubling as a full-employment program for precarious men seeking an outlet for violent urges. It needs dissolution.
Waddup, @tonytula.com!
Tony Tulathimutte had these life-hacky tech-bros' number back in 2008. From his story "Our Dope Future":
I would like to know less than nothing about the Melania documentary, thanks very much.
Alex Pretti and Renee Good were motivated by a desireβmaybe even a needβto put their bodies between the powerless and those who would abuse them. It's an astonishingly beautiful thing. The existence of human beings like this is this government's shame.
What's happening in Minnesota is one reason the Reconstruction Amendments banned insurrectionists from holding office. Unfortunately, the originalists on the Supreme Court interpreted the plain language of the amendment to mean its opposite.
Abolish the bejeezus out of ICE. Not a close call.

I'm not one to point out bothsides-y journalistic framings, but this upsets me. The administration has not been found to "advance one-sided narratives." It has been found to spread lies and smears. Calling Good or Pretty domestic terrorists bent on murder is outright, wholesale fabrication.
My wife is apparently commanding NORAD now.
