If I stare at the NYT NJ-11 results page hard enough, will the vote totals update

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

Illegal aliens and Latin hookers twerking at the SuperBowl. Not a single white person or English translation at the Super Bowl. This isn’t White enough for me. Cant even watch a Super Bowl anymore because immigrants have literally ruined everything.

Italians, your white card has been revoked. Stefani Germanotta is a perfidious latin

Current state of Republican Party politics: The president posted an image of the first black president and First Lady as apes; no one at the White House will publicly say that is not appropriate; the most likely person to face consequences is the party’s sole black senator — for calling it “racist.”

if you spend any significant amount of time on X the everything app, your brain is being cooked

New Jersey House Primary Remains Too Close to Call

The race among Democrats hoping to replace Gov. Mikie Sherrill in Congress is a nailbiter. Analilia Mejia leads by 486 votes out of more than 61,000 ballots tallied. About 6,000 ballots remain to be counted. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/06/n...

Malinowski has been my guy for years, but I'll still happily support Mejia! The integrity of the liberal-left coalition is what matters to me right now, and the fact that it's down to the two of them is honestly great news regardless of who wins.

I am closing up my takes factory. I no longer wish to toil in the takes mines. My only take left is that my takes are useless lol

What can I say? I wanted to be...the very best...like no one ever was...

Mine are doubled-sleeved and stored in a zipper binder now but this is how I found them two years ago

NJ-11 has yet to be called, but it's *really* striking how similar the current dynamic looks when compared to the gubernatorial primary results

Unfinished.

We should focus on the fact that when names surface of people deeply enmeshed in Epstein pedophile world in the UK, Italy, Slovakia, Canada, they are forced to resign public office in shame. When when names surface in the US, absolutely nothing happens, because they are protected by Trump.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

I somehow managed to forget how emotionally punishing phonebanking can sometimes be

Senate Dems split almost down the middle on tonight’s appropriations bill.

Remember, folks: They have never secured a guarantee that a single dollar will be used as appropriated.

Here are those that rightly voted no.

Damon Lindelof 100% called it

Of course he does. Is this a joke? He defended the guy who killed Good. He’s told multiple people that he thinks protesters should be attacked. He told people at a rally to rough someone up. He’s said nothing as ICE has hurt people for months.

He doesn’t get to walk away from this now.

On the weakness of state terror: once ppl internalize the regime's lawless brutality, that they are no safer in their homes than in the streets (& vice versa), and that their unwavering defiance is what confounds & disempowers the regime, they also realize they have nothing to lose but their fear.

The heaviness of the sleet/ice sounds like it'll make for more strenuous shoveling. I'd rather shovel when everything is still powdery.

This is the memes-to-murder pipeline in action.

A far-right influencer reignited a years-long scandal over welfare fraud, which led to Tim Walz to abandon a third term and to Trump to send in ICE. It all stems from that.

The stuff happening online has consequences. And it’s getting worse, fast.

At the very least every Democratic officeholder or candidate should be calling for the impeachment and/or arrest of Noem, Homan, and Bovino.

Bare minimum.

The StarTribune live blog is paywall free:
- The man shot by federal agents this morning has died
- Several witnesses have already been transported to the Whipple building.
- ICE attempted to order local police from the scene, but O’Hara refused, sources said.

Appears this is also true for fascism.

Alt text: Infographic titled “How Support for Trump Has Changed.” Subheading: “President Trump made gains with most groups between 2020 and 2024. But in the latest Times/Siena poll, those shifts have vanished with young, nonwhite and infrequent voters.” A horizontal arrow chart shows changes in net support (scale from –50 to +10 points) across demographic groups, with arrows indicating movement over time (2020 → 2024 → 2026). Groups listed top to bottom: • Nonwhite: Net support increased from 2020 to 2024, then sharply reverses leftward by 2026, ending more negative than before. • Age 18–29: Similar pattern—gain through 2024, followed by a large drop by 2026. • Not midterm voters (infrequent voters): Moderate gain, then decline by 2026. • All registered voters: Small gain, then slight decline. • Midterm voters: Minor fluctuation, slightly negative shift. • Age 65+: Small positive movement. • White: Slight positive movement overall. Source note at bottom: New York Times/Siena University polls of registered voters (Oct 2020, late Oct 2024, Sept 2025, Jan 2026), with 2025–26 combined and limited to non–text-message interviews for comparability.

His name is Liam Ramos, and he is 5. He was abducted from Minneapolis and trafficked to a detention camp in Texas.

10 years of this shit

People can get whatever they'd like out of it personally, but microblogging is irrelevant. Twitter is not even "big." There is no public square to be found or fostered in any of this. These sites are not even representative cross-sections of social media users, let alone the country as a whole.

I suspect 9 of 10 Americans are unaware that the Hmong are here because they aided the US in the Vietnam war, and then had to flee as refugees afterwards. Quite the “thank you” we’re giving them 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️
