Trump getting rid of every woman in his Cabinet is too predictable. Of course they all deserve it. Linda McMahon too www.notus.org/lori%20chave...

U.S. Navy destroyer repeatedly warned an Iranian-flagged cargo ship to stop over a six-hour period on Sunday before firing on the ship's engine room, disabling the Iran-bound vessel to allow helicopter-borne Marines to board and seize it, U.S. Central Command said in a statement. When the crew of the Touska, the Iranian ship, ignored the American warnings, a destroyer fired its MK 45 gun into the cargo ship's engine room, Central Command said. On Sunday, Marines from the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit were conducting a search of the vessel, which is now in American custody. 1 hour ago
One of the most blatant examples of sane-washing I've ever seen from the NYT.
This was an unarmed cargo vessel in international waters, crewed by noncombatants!
In the conservative media ecosystem, the distinction between talking points and reality is beside the point. The goal is to “flood the zone” and create so much noise that the truth struggles to break through.

Anti-American bigot Andy Ogles, on the other hand, can crawl back under his rock.

"There is a ritual in American war-making that predates the particular pathology of Trumpism. The targets shift and the platforms move from broadcast television to social media, but the punditry lusting for regime change fantasies feels eerily familiar."
On Nov. 16, a mental health counselor recorded in Kamilla’s medical records that her mother reported the girl had lost her appetite after being “served food that contained worms.” A week later, the couple said, children were told to gather in the gym for what they believed would be a Thanksgiving celebration. Excitement spread as families saw tables set with turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, they said. The children waited expectantly. But when a parent asked when the celebration would begin, Oksana said, staff told them the holiday meal was for employees, not detainees. The children, she said, watched despondently as the feast was packed away.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.
Superb work by @sophiatesfaye.bsky.social at @salon.com: scales fall from the eyes of San Francisco detractors when they see - surprise! - the beauty of the city, while the cognitive dissonance is too much for some. www.salon.com/2026/02/10/s...
“This is a movement that thrives on provocation but panics when that very provocation carries consequences. The MAGA coalition wants the thrill of trolling without the cost of being held responsible,” @sophiatesfaye.bsky.social writes.
The most revealing aspect of the right’s current meltdown over anti-ICE protests is their confusion. MAGA world is flailing and sputtering, trapped inside a media ecosystem that no longer reaches reality.
Thank you!
I've been working on this for months, after my colleague @sophiatesfaye.bsky.social told me that Fox News pays bizarre attention to Barron's sex life.
Digging it, it gets weirder than I thought.
But it makes sense, given MAGA's jealousy of mainstream America.

MAGA HAVE TURNED ON THE BOTS: Monetization on X is largely driven by engagement, and nothing gets people engaged like riling them over culture wars. It’s been a near-perfect feedback loop in the second Trump administration — until MAGA started turning against Trump.
