But you can wear push-up bras. Your breasts are only allowed to go larger in appearance under your shirt in Texas, not smaller, by law

Thousands of institutions abandoned programs, ended or rewrote scholarships, closed down clubs and publications, all in pre-emptive compliance.

And you know why?

Mostly because they wanted to do it if they thought they could blame someone else for it.

I'mma get t-shirts made that read, "GAVIN NEWSOM IS NOT OUR SAVIOR"

No field of study has had more predictive power for our current moment, and this of course is why they want to shutter it

Follow-up question: So you lied before?
Follow-up question to that: Why did you lie?
Follow-up question to that: Why should we believe you now?
Follow-up question to that: Do you think lying is appropriate?
Follow-up question to that: What else have you lied about?
Closing comment: RESIGN.

I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

New data shows surge in trans kids’ suicides following healthcare rollbacks | Good Law Project A freedom of information request by Good Law Project has found that deaths by suicide of trans young people under 18 surged following the withdrawal of gender-affirming healthcare

Remember if you watch this show or buy this merch, no trans person will like or trust you ever again. Sorry but those are the rules.

this is incredibly frustrating. By framing this as a policy demand Dems are aiding a disinformation campaign that is intended to confuse the public about what is constitutionally required.

Schumer: ball’s in your court

Republicans: stab the ball, tear it apart, set it on fire, rip up the court and sell the turf to Bahrain

Schumer: hey you guys are out of balls

Republicans: we’re gonna kill your families

Schumer: ok we’ll pass funding for new balls but you’ve GOT to read the rules

This is literally what CURRENT LAW requires. It’s in the Constitution! www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

*Do* we have to revise our expectations down, though, or could we just not make racism and nationalism such a priority that we torpedo the economy

Imagine voting to fund ICE, then posting this garbage. Expell @schumer.senate.gov from the Senate

ICE claim that a man shattered his skull running into wall triggers tension at a Minnesota hospital Nurses in Minneapolis doubted federal immigration officers' claims about a Mexican immigrant's severe injuries.

“It was laughable, if there was something to laugh about,” said one of the nurses

In theater. So they think they’re at war.

Whoa, click through to download the famed 2003 “Directors Label” DVD collections of music videos by the masters (Gondry, Romanek, Jonze, Corbijn, Cunningham, etc) with commentary & extras, seemingly uploaded by Directors Label for the 20th anniversary. Incredible resource!

“are you scared of a fucking whistle dawg” has been knocking around my head all day

This is why I have real fucking problem with blithe criticisms of "polarization" or "congressional dysfunction." We have a Republican member blaming his colleague for being attacked.

The problem isn't polarization or dysfunction. It's the Republican Party.

Yes. We know.

Don’t say ‘Watch out for ice’: FEMA warned storm announcements could invite memes | CNN Politics Homeland Security officials have urged disaster response staff at FEMA to avoid using the word “ice” in public messaging about the massive winter storm barreling toward much of the United States. The ...

Federal agencies are *trying* to warn the public about the massive winter storm. Official social media posts, however, are being denied because warning about ICE is not allowed.
How juvenile this administration is.

I genuinely think boycotting the World Cup is some of the strongest leverage the Europeans have.

“Training’s not going to fix this,” said Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas). “This is really going to be a deescalation of people thinking they can harm agents or get away or evade. It has to be a point where people understand when they’re being confronted by an ICE agent, that’s at the end of the road. That’s not the beginning of the due process, it’s the end of the due process.”

When an ICE agent confronts you is "when your due process ends," says the member of Congress from the largest border district.

Deporting children with cancer.
Using a 5-year-old as bait.
Shooting moms.

ICE is beyond reform. And today the House is voting to bankroll more terror. Hell no.

ICE’s cruelty knows no bounds. Deporting children with cancer. Shooting moms. And now, using a 5 year-old as “bait” to detain his family.

It’s far past clear: ICE must be abolished. Congress should not give it any additional funding. And the people responsible for its crimes should face charges.
