What the US News isn't telling you.
The US first line of defense/offense high tech radar arrays, just a few dozen ever built, costing sometimes over $1 billion each, are being methodically eliminated by Iran drones, costing less than a used car.

Unless they make driver's licenses, state id's, passports, birth certificates, *any* form of identification **FREE**, it's a poll tax & therefore immediately rendered unconstitutional.
In case anyone needed a reminder.
We all need to be ready for this -- Lawyers, activists, elected officials, election workers and philanthropists. The fight for democracy is the fight of our generation. And it is most squarely before us in the battle for free and fair elections this November. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/17/u...
There, there. It will pass.
We're having opinions again. But this time, we are going formal.
UK government is publishing inaccessible vanity sites again. We've put in an FOI request and submitted a petition for government to be held accountable for their gross waste of money. contentdesign.london/blog/the-pub...
I hope all the lawsuits that ICE loses is being charged all the court costs that they lose. Innocent people shouldn’t have to pay a dime. ICE is not following our constitution, thus everything they do is illegal. THEY should be all locked up.
Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.
The fact Bondi said she’d pull them out of Minnesota if they turned over private data (voting records) tells us it was never about immigration
The fact ICE will be part of US security for the Olympics in Milan tells us the same
They have more funding than the Marine Corps to be the GOP’s Gestapo.
Watching the media declare a “tone shift” from Trump while completely ignoring the policies and violence that caused Minnesota to erupt in the first place is … something.

Ms. Omar, visibly shaken after the assault, insisted to her staff and security that she would continue. She asked for a napkin and told them: "Just give me 10 minutes. I beg you. Please don't let them have the show." Ms. Omar then turned the crowd. "Here's the reality that people like this ugly man don't understand," she said. "We are Minnesota strong, and we will stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us." Someone in the crowd later thanked Ms. Omar for staying and continuing after the assault, which had shaken not only her but the entire room. "I learned at a young age you don't give in to threats," Ms. Omar said.
Ilhan Omar is an American hero. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...
I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.
I don’t let bullies win.
Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.
Ranked choice voting is the best way forward and the most fair. 👇🏻

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.
He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

The tone is frantic, entitled, low-EQ. I know things are dire—that’s why I donated.
But please: send messages through the one scout I actually interacted with.
My inbox is my home. I’d like to be able to live in it. 3/3
I’m happy for the baker! Truly.
I just don’t know the baker. I should get to decide who’s invited into my house.
Instead, one donation means I’m the heavy who has to boot out a crowd of strangers—or vacate my own inbox-home. 2/3
Ugh, political donation platforms…It's like:
You buy one box of Thin Mints from your local scout—and suddenly the entire Girl Scout supply chain is in your living room. Leadership, bakers, mint farmers, tractor reps…all shouting like we’ve been close for years. 1/3
The Grand Old Pedophile Party has lost bigly tonight.
We hate this shooting as much as conservatives do.
The difference is we hate all the other ones, too.
Oh ffs.
Completely irrelevant. Frogs in a pot on a lit stove. Oblivious.
MAY EVERY DAY BE ANOTHER WONDERFUL SECRET
What a sad day for the people of this country.

Perfect timing for this sort of review.
The Declaration of Independence complaints:
• Exclusionary immigration policies
• Barriers to world trade
• Taxes without our consent (Tariffs)
• Corrupt the rule of law
• Impair due process
• Using the military improperly
• Threaten the judiciary

Congrats to Lisa Murkowski on voting for a bill that she herself admitted was not ready in hopes that the House would change it. Now it’ll become law. She had the power to stop it, and instead chose to become complicit. That’s her legacy.
