Tomorrow everyone will be asking: when will the Russo-Ukrainian war end? The right question is: what can we do to make the Russian invasion fail?

I don't know that any social media platform is good for you but the stated intention of the owner of twitter is to make you worse and studies are now showing that he's having some success with that. This isn't esoteric, everyone knows it. So at this point being judgmental about staying there is fine

We are deciding right now whether we want to be a country with ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.

Pretty amazing that comms person at FBI called my @ms.now colleague @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social a liar and demand a correction only for Kash to post a photo from the locker room

At the very least, Kash Patel's corrupt grifting reign at the FBI should forever end the stupid practice of Democratic presidents feeling they had to appoint a Republican there.

Commented elsewhere on this gem by quoting John Berger's pre-feminist insight from On Looking.

February 23, 2026

Today marks four years since Russia invaded Ukraine. These are some thoughts (recorded yesterday) on what Ukrainians have done for all of us and what we can learn from them.

Rep. Massie:  “I've not seen any arrests from the revelations in the Epstein files…Over two dozen people have resigned, CEOs, members of government worldwide. But I haven't seen any arrests or investigations here in the United States from this DOJ.”

Kind of amazing how every step for the Bari-Weiss-branded CBS is a stumble, and some of them are pratfalls.

This ice warehouse tracker is awesome!

Use it to check by you, and help organize resistance.

The refund question is so so messy my god. But it’s an enormous political opportunity for the opposition party.

Trump will have a plan to reconstruct a lot of his tariffs after this SCOTUS ruling through a combination of other legal authorities (232, 301, 122). But those authorities are more narrow and process-intensive, so he has lost the ability to just rapidly slap tariffs on any country on a day's notice

BREAKING: The Supreme Court STRIKES DOWN Trump's "emergency" tariffs. The vote is 6–3. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE.

They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

Sen. Ossoff: "Much of the American public are quite reasonably alarmed and asking questions after the Director of National Intelligence was spotted bizarrely and personally lurking in an FBI evidence truck in Fulton County, Georgia yesterday."

Getting the impression that ICE is gearing up for a pogrom in Springfield, Ohio, which was ground zero of Vance’s lies about Haitians during the campaign. Haitians lose temporary protected status on February 3rd. Reporters, lawyers, neighbors — please get ready.

Homan's message: When we kill you, you have to be especially nice to us. Or else we will keep killing you.

I keep thinking again, in light of the latest Epstein files dump, about how MeToo “went too far.”

Homan’s message was crystal clear: Unless Miller, Noem and Homan go the problem will remain, our rights will be trampled, innocent people will suffer and die. They don’t feel any remorse or regret for the pain they have inflicted, the damage they have done.

Huh. This entire administration is an Epstein Island afterparty.

French MPs demand explanation over tech firm’s contract to help ICE in US Revelation that subsidiary of Capgemini is to help trace and expel migrants in US provokes outrage in France French lawmakers have demanded an explanation after one of the country’s biggest tech companies signed a multimillion dollar contract to help the US enforcement agency ICE trace and expel migrants. The revelation that a subsidiary of Capgemini, a multinational digital services firm listed on the Paris stock exchange, had agreed to provide “skip tracing” – a technique for locating targeted people – with big bonuses if successful, has provoked outrage in France.

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio) YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Stay free

You mean after a week and heavy political pressure and public outrage the Trump admin is going to do the absolute bare minimum that every law enforcement organization would do in an officer-involved shooting?

An Axiom of fascist thought: the victim is always responsible for the harm that befalls them, usually because they don't love the Führer enough.

This is what letting RFK jr go wild on health looks like

They might as well have told Iran they want four dragon eggs, one unicorn horn, and the fourth whisker of an albino Chupacabra.

Every one of these is a non-starter for Iran and the administration knows it.

The investigation is the coverup Trump's "pivot" on Pretti is just a head fake.

"Allowing the crime scene to be contaminated then covering the victim’s weapon with fingerprints will make it much harder to investigate the case, much less prosecute it. But of course federal officials never intended to do either. Indeed, the coverup was underway immediately." — @lizdye.bsky.social
