Damn i remember some big lawsuits of broadcasters over editing of events showing WH figures

Wow. Conservatives are suddenly threatening "states' rights" because it doesn't suit them? You gotta be kidding me. Almost as if states' rights has been a bullshit excuse to mask racism for 165 years!

maybe you could do a profile who isn't a hateful bigot who tripped in his own bile?

The commander in question is “alleged to have worn red MAGA hats in the past & “made it very clear” how he feels about those who do not support the administration’s agenda.
He is also alleged to have made seeing Melania count as 1 of the 3 “unit activity events” they’re required to attend each month

Sometimes I'll complain about something and a genius will reply with some version of "oh, you'd rather things were worse?"

No, stupid, I'd rather things were better. That's why I'm complaining.

You can't un-traumatize a child. They can heal, but they don't go back to what they were before. Trauma is forever.

This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.

The original ‘wine moms’ are in Ohio. They’re mobilizing to support Haitians in Springfield. Katie Paris founded Red, Wine & Blue to harness suburban women's political power — now more than 600,000 members are deploying it to oppose ICE in their communities.

Red Wine & Blue now has more than 600,000 members. Its members and affiliated groups held 4,000 events last year, most of them in person. On Tuesday, they raised more than $100k in less than an hour to support Haitians in Springfield, OH & oppose ICE. 19thnews.org/2026/02/wine... via @19thnews.org

This is an immensely significant document that continues to get virtually no attention in US media—but lots abroad. In Jul 2015, Epstein arranged a meeting between a known highest-level Russian intel operative, Sergey Belyakov and Peter Thiel,

Cuba needs oil far more urgently than food. Mexico can’t afford to appease Trump. As Churchill said, “An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile—hoping it will eat him last.” The region should unite and call TACO Trump’s bluff by selling oil to Cuba.

I lived in the UK during early covid and for a while there was this thing where everyone went outside at a certain day/time to cheer for NHS doctors/nurses/staff, and well I think it would be lovely if we did that but for booing JD Vance

I'm at the Olympics and the entire stadium booed JD Vance. 😌

Factories Are Becoming More Like Data Centers Large electricity users that employ few workers are not what America’s reindustrialization dreams are made on.

Many Americans dislike data centers because they use land, water, and electricity without creating many permanent jobs.

There’s just one wrinkle: Modern factories increasingly fit the same description.

I wrote about it for @heatmap.news: heatmap.news/energy/facto...

Federal judge: "The presumption of regularity that has previously extended to [the United States Government] that it could be taken at its word—with little doubt about its intentions and stated purposes—no longer holds."

This is in a case where the Trump admin sued Oregon.

jeeproject@yahoo.comRe: federal sex trafficking and states with lower ages of consent J J. Epstein <jeeproject@yahoo.com> to Mitch Webber <mwebber@law.harvard.edu> let's also look at sex tourism laws.. going someplace with specific intent ot have underage sex --- Mitch Webber mwebber@law.harvard.edu wrote: Mr. Epstein I'm sorry little con about what you were asking on the phone. I se what you were asking now. The question is: what would happen if one were to transport a minor for sex -- or transport oneself with the intent to have sex with a minor- into a state in which the age of consent is below eighteen (assuming the minor is above the age of consent in the given state)? And your intuition was right. The answer is that there is no violation of law.

From 2019 to 2021, Mitch served as Associate Counsel and Special Assistant to the President in the Office of White House Counsel, where he advised and responded to congressional and other oversight of the President, senior White House staff, and several departments and agencies.

Abolish ICE and DHS. Shut it all down.

But Liam was scared and frequently asked what they had done wrong, where they were and what happened to the little blue knit hat he wore the day he was detained, Conejo said. There wasn’t much he could say to his son, “except hug him and tell him everything would be OK,” Conejo said. Worried about further upsetting his son, Conejo said, he was forced to bite back his own tears.

Liam has since been reunited with his hat and continues to wear it, even inside the house, his dad said Thursday. Asked how he might one day explain to Liam everything that has happened, Conejo said he would tell his son that he had become the face of hope and change. "He was the global figure who did all this so that the voices of the people demanding freedom would be heard, especially those of the children who are still locked up," Conejo said. “I would tell him he was very brave and that I am very proud of him.”

welp, this destroyed me first thing upon waking up

The way things are going, I will be boycotting pretty much everything by the start of summer this year.

Regardless, as I wrote last week, after the killing of Alex Pretti and Rene Good, the lines have been drawn. Amazon is not merely complicit in ICE operations, its digital infrastructure is crucial to facilitating them. Bezos has chosen his side.

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

89% of NYC's registered apartments are owned by corporations, not mom-and-pop landowners with personal liability.

So unbelievably predictable.

Photo of two cats in a kitchen: one eating food from a bowl, while the second, nearby, looks up at the camera.

Sheru, our most Minnesotan of cats, will not directly fuss about someone else eating her food, but will instead quietly gaze at a third party, hoping you clearly see the Injustice taking place and recognize her for the true, patiently suffering heroine that she is.
