Hemingway was once bet that he couldn’t write the world’s happiest short story in just 5 words. He replied,

words projected on the front of the USIP building that say “Trump destroyed this Institution, imposing his name on the building, a narcissistic attempt to associate himself with peacemaking.”

New — This was projected on the US Institute of Peace building this evening ahead of the first meeting tomorrow of Trump’s farcically-named “Board of Peace.”

Photo taken by person who was over there tonight. Unclear who’s behind the projection.

Coolest stamp EVER!!! To be officially unveiled today!!

Libraries are among the few public institutions that represent the kind of world we want to live in. They must be fought for.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Meanwhile, in Germany, the public weighs in on what they think of the Epstein Administration.

Colbert Doesn’t Give an FCC About Calling Out CBS

Colbert: “Let’s just call this what it is: Trump’s administration wants to silence anyone who says anything bad about Trump on TV because all Trump does is watch TV. He’s like a toddler with too much screen time. He gets cranky and then drops a load in his diaper.”

YouTube video by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Rep. James Talarico On Confronting Christian Nationalism, And Strange Days In The Texas Legislature

Republicans have said they’d prefer Jasmine Crockett, not James Talarico, be the Dem nominee in Texas

But on the first day of early voting, the Streisand effect of CBS blocking Colbert from airing a Talarico interview—citing FCC regs—has given the YouTube clip 900,000 views in less than 12 hours.

I love the smell of 2 lines in the morning!

Wow.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

From the movie ‘Fire Walk With Me’ - Special Agent Cooper is talking to Regional Bureau Chief Gordon Cole saying “Gordon, it’s 10:10am on February 16th. I was worried about today because of the dream I told you about.”

Gordon, it’s 10:10 on February 16th.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Get it? See, it's funny 'cuz our President is a pathological liar who rarely, if ever, tells the truth.

This is wildly appropriate ☠️

Oh I know who in my family is getting these for their birthday 🐸

I agree it was not a good look for the show. One of the bullies was kicked off the show but they all should've been kicked off after that. Marcel came back for a season of Top Chef All stars and has done well in other competitions including 24 in 24 and Tournament of Champions.

Ending this operation is not enough.

We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.
