There are way too many places that card everyone, even old people, especially if they've recently been caught selling to underage patrons. But of course the first part of your post holds.

You're not tricking me into clicking on that.

"It really has to sting for Bari. The person she wanted for the Evening News anchor chair is choosing to leave CBS altogether because of her," one CBS News staffer told me tonight. "This is 'fuck you' to Bari."

This one clip from John Oliver's episode on Weiss and the Free Press back in Oct really captures their usual disingenuousness and deceit. It isn't just the casual dismissal of racism it's the way they don't tell you what the article was so people can assume it was not as obviously racist as it was

I am heartbroken to hear the news of Rev. Hagler passing away. He was an incredible human being, a human rights activist, a fighter for justice for all people for income inequality, racial inequality.

Your regular reminder that since August of last year, Mr. Abrego has agreed to be deported to Costa Rica, but the Trump admin refuses to do so because they want to instead punish him by sending him to an African country that will most likely detain and then deport him to El Salvador for the admin.

I've been hearing lots of complaints about high Pepco bills recently, and D.C. councilmembers are sharing the pain.

"I just got an $1,100 Pepco bill so I am beyond pissed with utilities right now. My house is at 68 degrees," said @robertwhitedc.bsky.social.

For @cmlewisgeorgew4.bsky.social: $899.

I do think habitual chatbot usage is kind of like smoking; there's a range of outcomes, and we very clearly see the worst ones (psychosis, delusions, addiction) but they're all negative. thousands with the cognitive equivalent of being out of breath after one flight of stairs.

The world's richest man is broadcasting eliminationist rhetoric about a tiny, vulnerable minority, and virtually no one is going to treat it as a scandal. It's just normal now.

“False herring” is stupid, but the most dishonest & manipulative word here is “now.” As if this is some novelty. But warrants for entering homes, like cops who show their faces & badges, is how we’ve done things for 250 years. The radical novelty is suggesting we STOP doing these things.

If you think a Republican party that has passed two laws in two years trying to steal $1.6 trillion from DC’s local budget and that works tirelessly to protect polluters would have prevented this spill from happening if they controlled the DMV, I have a bridge or two to sell you

A. Petitioner's Physical Deterioration at NWIPC 8 Petitioner alleges, and Respondents do not dispute, that he was in good health when he 9 entered ICE detention. See Dkt. No. I-9 (DHS Form I-213) at 2 ("The subject claims good 10 health"). Eighth months later, hospital records show that Petitioner's health has declined to 11 include two partial foot amputations, a diagnosis of ulcerative colitis (a type of inflammatory 12 bowel disease ("IBD")),? acute blood loss anemia, a kidney injury, a severe vitamin D deficiency 13 and dramatic unintended weight loss. Dkt. No. 16 at 3.

While Respondents largely do not address the conditions of Petitioner's confinement in responding to this claim, they argue elsewhere that "the medical care [Petitioner] has received is constitutionally adequate." Dkt. No. 22 at 15. But the record here compels a finding that, on the preponderance of the evidence, Petitioner's medical care, and denial of medical care, included objectively unreasonable failures of care that more likely than not resulted in permanent disability, including the loss of his toe and part of his foot. The Court bases this finding on the following facts:

Respondents have made no showing that the extreme restrictions on Petitioner's liberty and health created by his custodians' decisions, ineptitude, and denial of care are not excessive in relation to its asserted purpose of "protecting the public and enforcing U.S. immigration laws." There is no indication that these interests could not have been just as easily served without ignoring his cries of pain for hours, or without declining to see him as his bone was eaten away by infection. There is no indication that these interests could not have been served while bringing Petitioner to the hospital for imaging when a GI appointment could not be scheduled quickly (or contracting with additional external providers), while filling his prescriptions, or while treating him with appropriate medication based on his actual diagnosis. And finally, there is no indication that these interests cannot be served by subjecting Petitioner to alternatives to detention under appropriate conditions of release while he pursues outside treatment— an argument raised in the habeas petition but completely ignored by Respondents. Dkt. No. 1 9 61. In sum, the length of Petitioner's detention does not support a finding that it is excessive in relation to its purpose, but the conditions of his detention do. Under the unique facts of this case, the extreme consequences of Respondents' unreasonable treatment of Petitioner constitute deprivations so excessive that the conditions of detention alone take Respondents' detention of Petitioner out of the realm of constitutional civil detention and render it punitive.

A federal judge on Friday ordered the release of a man who had been in immigration detention due to "objectively unreasonable failures of care that more likely than not resulted in permanent disability, including the loss of his toe and part of his foot."

If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''

Not just that, the grandson of the uk’s most notorious facist works for Palantir BECAUSE HIS GRANDFATHER IS THE UK’S MOST NOTORIOUS FACIST.

it’s literally how he got the job. He didn’t even talk in an interview with Karp, lover of facists.

“Senator Lisa Murkowski, Republican of Alaska, said the issue of Greenland had “distracted in ways that I don’t think that any of us could have anticipated.”

How can you possibly fail to anticipate this? How is this a thing any adult, let alone a US Senator, can say?

hey, Marco and Elon...

15 years ago today I arrived on Downing Street in a cage.
I've seen off Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak and I'm still going strong.
Only two Prime Ministers have ever done longer stints here: William Pitt the Younger and Sir Robert Walpole.
Bill and Bob - I'm coming for you...

Between this and the story about the ice agents who ate at a Mexican restaurant and then arrested some of its workers when they were done, it's a reminder that these people reject even the most basic social agreements of hospitality and of helping others. They're sociopaths.

The Lies Americans Tell Themselves to Justify State Violence Against Migrants I posted a photo of Border Patrol agents pinning a man to the ground in a headlock – and the internet made up every excuse in the book to defend the assault.

A man was choked on the floor of a Charlotte restaurant by Border Patrol agents — and thousands of Americans invented a knife to justify it.

It's galling to contemplate but I really think you have to admit that Musk buying X was an unqualified victory. It can't be exaggerated just how much prominent journalists, pundits, business type, etc. mistake the vibe on X for "how the country is feeling."

Pedantic reminder that legally Presidents’ Day doesn’t exist in DC or Federally (but does in some states). Tomorrow celebrate George Washington’s Birthday

The RFK number seems like a massive failure of the media to explain what RFK is doing to our public health system and how catastrophic it will be

The usual explanation for that sort of thing is the difference in diet between the wild and captivity.

Weird how this keeps happening.

I was back in federal court today. They’re still prosecuting me — my trial date is May 11th — but we’re pressing for evidence discovery.

Because someone is “unreasonably obstructing the usual use” of the immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza. But it’s ICE, not me. And the evidence will prove it.

it’s not too hard to understand the distinction between “that’s not who we are (aspirational)” and “that’s not who we are (historical)” especially when the latter is often worst-case historical; see also Langston Hughes on America

Glad this is getting covered, but also… Completely surreal to read the NYT report on this as recently disclosed info, and just an allegation. This happened to every observer I know! It happened to me twice! I have it on video both times! www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/u...

Please read this long but important thread from an immigration defense attorney.

If this administration is permitted to scale its current abuse, neglect, and inhumane treatment of immigrants to the breadth and scope for which they’re currently planning, we’ll all be witness to mass atrocities.
