The ‘Antifa Scare’ Goes on Trial in North Texas As nine of the "Prairieland 19" face their days in court, the broader constitutional rights of left-wing activists may hang in the balance.

Our top story, from @stevanzetti.bsky.social: Wearing black, owning zines, using the encrypted messaging app Signal. The broader constitutional rights of left-wing activists may hang in the balance as the government builds its "antifa conspiracy."

My Home Is Treated Like a War Zone. That Militarization Expanded to Minnesota. There have been many violent murders at the hands of Border Patrol agents. This is not an aberration but part of a broader federal apparatus built and refined over decades.

For generations, Border Patrol has maintained a high presence in South Texas and has operated with minimal oversight and accountability, shaping a culture in which terrorizing immigrants & their families has become part of our daily life.

Now this culture is being exported to the rest of the U.S,

Ah yes you must be a hereditary servant for it to count

Happening Now: A snowball fight is taking place at Washington Square Park in New York City

U.S. Women's Hockey Team declines Trump's invitation to the State of the Union President Donald Trump invited the men's and women's hockey teams after both won gold medals in overtime games against Canada.

"The U.S. Women's Hockey Team said it is declining President Donald Trump's invitation to attend his State of the Union address, a day after the president jokingly told the U.S. men's hockey team that he would be impeached if he didn't also invite the women's team."

ICE deported Juana 36 weeks into her pregnancy over the weekend. She had been at Dilley trailer prison for three months with her two young children. She was fearful of giving birth while imprisoned.

The Feds Targeted Charlotte. Now a Local Democrat Who Helped ICE Faces Voters. North Carolina lawmaker Carla Cunningham voted to mandate compliance with ICE, and derided immigrants on the House floor. The Democrat faces an intense March primary.

In an unusual move, the North Carolina Democratic Party has revoked access to party resources to three state lawmakers who have voted to support GOP bills and override the vetoes of the Democratic governor.

The SAVE Act is Christian Nationalism in Action Gendered Burdens and the Right to Vote

A remarkable feature of the SAVE Act is that Republicans are explicitly burdening their own voters--conservative married white Republican women. It makes sense if you think about it as a Christian Nationalist project rather than a Republican project. From me: donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-save-a...

US men’s hockey team proved they’re all a bunch of losers anyway

So the men's hockey team partied with Kash Patel and made a bunch of misogynistic jokes about the women's hockey team and yukked it up with Trump and tbh this is why I have a hard time caring about the Olympics because I need to see who you voted for before I expend any energy rooting for you.

"Thanks" to AI? Teachers are having to change how they teach and evaluate because AI is being used by students to cheat themselves out of learning skills.

Scientific research shows that AI usage harms learning.

The idea of _not_ using AI is inconceivable to people like Ethan Mollick.

Very excited for @daniwelch.bsky.social, a union sibling who’ll be a progressive champion in Congress. She’s challenging @tomsuozzi.bsky.social, one of the worst elected Democrats, whose constituents are so unhappy with him he was recently forced to send out an apology email for voting to fund ICE.

My local paper, which has won Pulitzers, now uses AI for its real estate summaries. That was someone’s job.

What kind of books do you like to read in your free time?

Mayor Mamdani eats food at a table with three DSNY workers at DSNY headquarters.

Shared suhoor before dawn with DSNY workers before they headed out to prepare New York City for the blizzard.

Up before the sun, doing the work that keeps our city moving.

They’re called NY’s Strongest for a reason.

got the pc versions all set up with 240p rendering and a crt shader. legit crazy how good these games look

Has the same experience with the Two Towers game. I thought we'd never be able to top graphics like that, and I think I was probably right.

So you get out your Fascism for Dummies book for the 15 things you do, and we tried to include as many of them as we could in the most artful way possible. How were we supposed to know that this clown car in Washington was going to basically use the same book that we used? So I don't think it's prescience so much as the sad familiarity of fascism and the karaoke menu of things that you go through to do it. You could list them from the show, or you could list them from the newspaper.

Tony Gilroy, creator of Andor, wasn’t allowed to use the word “fascism” during press junkets in 2025.

Interesting interview in The Hollywood Reporter.

Southern Lebanon is the countries bread basket. This is both about depopulating the border region with Israel and putting economic pressure on a country already in economic crisis by disrupting their main domestic food supply.

Israel using starvation as a weapon of war... again.

Again where are the professional consequences for the misconduct of these prosecutors? Sanctions, disbarment

Every one of these guys is stupid. Every one. We may look back with disdain on the culture of the 50s and 60s but at least those buzzcuts and long skirts got us to the fucking moon

just from a purely anecdotal perspective this seems flatly untrue. 99% of game developers I know are trying to kill AI with some kind of Large Gun.

In the 80s we had "Greed Is Good," but today it's much subtler--self-interest is simply the only valid decision-making lens. "Let's not go to Chik-Fil-A, I don't like their food" is respected, but "Let's not go to Chik-Fil-A, I don't want to support a homophobic company" makes you a tedious scold.

Absolutely.

This one hits hard.

I didn't think it was possible to blackpill me, but then I learned that members of the faith healing cult I grew up in were literally recorded on the Nixon tapes designing the modern American health care insurance system with the intention that it would stop millions from using medicine and doctors.

They’re killing people in the concentration camps. The kids they’re not killing are going through some of the worst trauma humanly imaginable.

This is what’s happening outside the people we’ve seen murdered in broad daylight. Lock the fuck in, people.

Honestly when you add in the harms of giant warehouses for distribution it kind of seems like we shouldn't allow warehouses of this scale to exist at all

You are almost certainly not aware of the full extent of what the government is doing in Minneapolis, and what it portends for all of us if they succeed. lnk.thebulwark.com/46kVMuT
