Plus Cardamom abruptly cans human servers, a look at the evil 'challenge coins' inside Whipple, and the Times takes the 'Purple Tour' in today's Flyover news roundup.

the Swalwell accusers are heroes and I'm so so glad they got to see such a swift and definitive outcome rather than months of this dragging out while their honesty was constantly relitigated by Twitter pundits

MAY IT EVER BE THUS

Tom Homan confirms ICE to be at airports starting Monday The border czar said he is discussing plans to deploy immigration agents to airports around the nation as the partial government shutdown continues.

The president’s scheme to deploy ICE to our airports is reckless.

President Trump is once again threatening our rights and safety to advance his unpopular agenda. Congress must remain firm in denying further funding for ICE without real reforms.

As a Minnesotan i feel like we went from proud of Best Buy and Target to quietly suffering their bullshit.

BREAKING: Credible whistleblower discloses that FBI forensic experts were ordered to stand down from processing the scene where Renee Good was killed, because Kash Patel did not want Good referenced as a “victim” in the warrant.

Gregory Bovino is now under criminal investigation Video shows the Border Patrol's former "commander-at-large" throwing a gas canister at protesters and observers in Minneapolis in January.

Minneapolis-area prosecutors are investigating disgraced Border Patrol official Gregory Bovino, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty announced today.

Another open-book test of spine and moral backbone that will be failed en masse by the people who are supposed to be watchdogs of democracy.

You turn down invites from Nazis, kids. It’s the easiest call to make. Imagine if Trump walked into a room empty aside from ten Fox News clowns.

this is a great brief and it appropriately ends with a killshot: the simple observation that if trump's meaning held, the birthright clause would not have overturned dred scott, the one thing it was absolutely meant to do.

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done

- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy

Something strange really is happening. Some of the MAGA voices now breaking with Trump are suddenly making points that actually make sense. Are we agreeing with them or are they finally agreeing with us? It’s honestly unsettling finding ourselves nodding along with MTG and Massie on a regular basis.

If you couldn't be bothered to write it, why in the name of all things holy, unholy, and mundane should I take the time to read it?

What the hell

People trying to end the world because the Bible says that Jesus will come when the world ends are going to be mightily surprised if they turn out, against all odds, to be right and Jesus returns and looks them in the eye and is like "yo, what is the ONE THING I asked of you?"

it makes me so happy

every time the X vs. Bluesky discourse comes up the conversation eventually gets here and i'm amazed that it finds a way to continue afterwards

I don't want to hear how powerless you are.

I want to hear about how you are turning over every last statute to find every piece of power you have and leveraging it to flip the tables. That is what ordinary Americans are doing every day: using whistles and love to try to help their neighbors.

Twitter is owned by a fascist who deliberately manipulates the algorithms to promote far right messages. Here’s why Bluesky has an intellectual diversity problem.

NYC public schools:
Tomorrow (Mon 2/23) is a full snow day —no remote learning, no logging on. Our first real snow day in seven years. This blizzard is serious. Stay inside. Travel ban 9pm–noon tomorrow so crews can keep streets clear.
After the worst passes, bundle up and enjoy the snow — safely.

Why CBS Didn't Broadcast Stephen Colbert's Interview With James Talarico YouTube video by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

FCC chair Brendan Carr is now imposing censorship on left-leaning media, which conveniently doesn't apply to RW media.

Two cases and the grease that breaks democracy The obvious lesson many are drawing is that ordinary citizens are more reliable protectors of democracy than judges in black robes.

The problem for democracy is that it will not survive three more years of such a system. We cannot hold free and fair elections if judges blindly accept the word of Pam Bondi and Kash Patel’s minions. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/two-...

Judge Orders ICE to Let Clergy Give Communion to Detained Migrants on Ash Wednesday

Enraging that this took a court order:

"Catholic nuns and clergy had visited the facility for years, offering prayer services and holy communion to detainees during visitor hours.

Trump Administration immigration authorities rolled back that access in September..."

Trump: ‘There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not!’ "I have searched the depths of Legal Arguments not yet articulated or vetted on this subject, and will be presenting an irrefutable one in the very near future," wrote Trump, who is not a lawyer.

Trump is saying that he will disregard Congress and issue an Excutive order that will violate the Constitution.

Here is my promise: If he does that, we will sue and we will win. Just like we did the last time. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Oh god it me

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

Um, National Treasure was FICTION, actually....

A person with mittens holding a heart-shaped sign that reads "I Love Due Process".

Every person in this nation — regardless of immigration status — has the right to due process. We will defend that right with everything we've got.

Remember when we asked you for supplies for folks being thrown out of Whipple in dangerous conditions?

You were sending them to St. Paul Corner Drug, who was working to get them out into the neighborhood. They've posted a heartwarming thank you on IG:

Calling the requirement for a judicial warrant before entering a person’s home one of the Democrats’ “new restrictions on federal immigration agents” crosses the line into outright falsehood. It’s in the Bill of Rights! A rule as old as the republic.
