TK-S Is Here Now

What is it about Minnesota that made it a target for Trump’s ICE crackdown? The Democratic-leaning midwestern state where federal agents killed two citizens is in many ways anathema to the administration

Could it be because Minnesota is a model for what the US *could* be? Social safety nets, protection for womens' repro rights, and that kind of stuff among others?

Let Larry be prime minister for a while. He has the experience

37 days in jail bc he couldn't pay a TWO MILLION DOLLAR BOND. Bc he wouldn't delete a Facebook post.

Obscene does not begin to describe this.

Bummer about Team All-Star (which included Thunder Boy Chet Holmgren), eliminated very early, but I kind of thought that whole thing was just chaos and they should bring back the Skills Competition. NBA All Star Saturday is lesser for that competition's absence.

Oklahoma beat Georgia 94-78. Maybe we should set fire in the LNC more often?

You also quite literally cannot remove politics from sports, but especially from the Olympics

Also…

First: stop using the dehumanizing term “illegals.”

Second: ICE has a documented record of detaining U.S. citizens, especially people who are Hispanic.

Third, and most important, ICE has zero legal role at polling places.

Voter intimidation is not election security; it’s suppression.👇

A bald cat sits in someone’s lap. When it curls its head underneath itself, it gets very smooth. the text says: So my cat is sleeping between my legs and then this happened and I laughed so hard he woke up. @paradisaic: that's a potato @reallylameblog: Your cat looks like an uncooked chicken

He also just recently admitted that he used to snort cocaine off a toilet seat. That's a great thing to hear from the guy who's in charge of ... public health.

The Antidemocratic Zealots Presiding Over Trump’s Makeover of US History The administration’s sketchily funded Freedom 250 project, which will oversee the celebration of America’s semiquincentennial, is a pageant of right-wing extremism.

President Donald Trump is now embarking on a crusade to MAGAfy the American past, via a hostile takeover of the federal government’s commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

Your li'l Meowslim friend is adorable. [Pets kitty--but waits until after prayers.]

But seriously, thank you for everything you do.

What the congressman reports below is disgusting.
He reveals the utter lack of decency and humanity in the Trump administration, especially in the telling detail at the end.

Happy ❤️🌵 Valentine's Day and Arizona Statehood Day. In 1912 Arizona was admitted to the union and was called the baby state as well until 1959.

Bad Bunny’s ‘together, we are America’ is dangerous to Trump Immigrants are here. That makes them American.

On Wednesday, I said Bad Bunny offered a radical new view of belonging. Immigrants are here. Therefore, they're American. "Abolish ICE" is only one step toward making a fact of life a fact of law.

Hegseth to US military: if you get into MIT, we won't let you attend because of the risk that you will be exposed to ideas hostile to MAGA when you study there.

For anyone having a rough Valentine’s …

Putinyahu have killed far more people than anyone else in modern times, but Trump gets credit for accomplishing something which may prove far more dangerous: killing democracy and destroying the world order.

We do not teach students the right things about the Nazis.

For example, on March 5th, 1933, Germany held elections.

The Nazi party deployed SS, SA, and other Nazi orgs to “monitor” the elections

This was done to “defend the homeland”

Again, just throwing it out there, we turn off the Internet

Roses are red,
They look nice on a shrine
Here is the skull,
Of St. Valentine.

If you can remember a world before “The Santa Clause 2,” you can remember the world before DHS. If you can’t, well, imagine you can imagine it.

"The news has shown you video of these often violent detentions. What you don’t see is what happens to these individuals after. I’ve had a front row seat."

Incredible 🧵 on the legal nightmare in MN-- read to the end for info on how you can help the local groups fighting back.

This stuff is actually my favourite part of NBA All-Star weekend. The actual All Star Game, OTOH, bores me to tears (as they all do). I kinda wish they were still going to have the Skills Competition though.

A little black kitty facing the corner, thinking about what it did to get put there in the first place.

I sowwy. Will no go to the corner to think about what I've done.

YouTube video by Chevrolet Philippines See the USA in Your Chevrolet by Dinah Shore

Chevrolet has raised its "See the USA in your Chevrolet" jingle from the dead. A singer named Brooke Lee takes over for Dinah Shore. I will NEVER own another Chevrolet (I've had three of them), but that damn earworm is becoming ... lodged. Meanwhile, the original:

WE FOUND THE WASTE, FRAUD, AND ABUSE.

Nope! I don’t want my tax dollars funding DHS brutality, and I definitely don’t want it paying for Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski to jet-set around the country and fuck in a private cabin on a luxury $70M 737 Max.

Listen to this mess.

This isn't a message from someone on the fringe or the radical left.

Ty Cobb is Trump's former attorney.

Everyone needs to wake up.

This is the kind of verbal diarrhoea that accelerates the family discussion of long-term care facilities and dispensing with home, assets, etc.
