Lowering the Bar

Hey, @newsweek.com, all of this sucks. The “critics” are plainly right, and Holman hasn’t “refuted” anything. He just denied it. He’s lying, but at best it was a false statement. No shortage of evidence either.

<<taps sign>> Harming someone and demanding gratitude for it is what abusers do.

None of this is normal

"Reasonable Suspicion"

Their new law would require a lot of people to get a passport in order to vote … and this makes it harder to get a passport. Not a coincidence.

To put this in perspective, the federal government spends *a combined* $33 billion each year on Title I (for low income families) and IDEA (for special needs students).

There’s a curling scandal

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...

Every day it becomes clearer that capitulation (Columbia, Perkins Coie, etc) was the wrong strategy

I think this one depends too heavily on the circumstances to make a general ruling on viability. Also I don’t want to discourage it in any way. 🫏

“Abomination” is right. This is outrageous.

Except that it hasn’t reached that level and won’t during our lifetimes (if ever).

Wait—can AI now do an executive’s job? Can it be a major company’s AI chief, Mustafa Sulayman? Can it do that? Do tell.

This is LITERALLY just taking Mike Johnson’s lie and presenting it as fact.

One draft in my folder: “think of a joke and put it here”

I have not mentioned before how happy I was that @petridishes.bsky.social escaped the Post before it fully imploded, and also, how she remains in being a national treasure

BREAKING: The Trump administraiton has committed a mass violation of ICE detainees' constitutional rights in MN, effectively blocking their acess to attorneys in the Whipple building, a judge ruled tonight.

The judge: Trump appointeee Nancy Brasel

*Does* he smile?

U.S. Pat. No. 8,667,956: Controllable [Human] Launcher Looks fun! I’ll go second.

What could go wrong?

I see, thanks.

That case held judges weren’t “succeeding [themselves] in the position to which [they were] appointed” because they weren’t “running for the [same] division in which they were appointed to serve.” Whereas this is just musical chairs as you say.

Sorry, Mr. Grumpy, that’s exactly what you’re doing and it’s what you were ordered to do. Also, can I borrow $50,000?

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

Why isn’t this (using copyrighted music for a performance) fair use? It’s not like the skaters are making money from it. Why sue an Olympic athlete for this?

Idaho families sue over immigration raid that swept up hundreds, including U.S. citizens — NBC News About 400 people, including children and U.S. citizens, were detained for four hours while they were denied food and water in the raid, according to the lawsuit.

More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

It’s not that clear to me that this is actually legal under that provision. Maybe a court has held it is?

I don’t know how this can be any clearer or more blatant. #PamBondi said this today. It is an astonishing brazen lie. Which means her role is to lie, gaslight and coverup crimes. She isn’t an AG, she’s the asset of the most corrupt lawless criminal enterprises in history.

“You don’t tell me anything, washed-up loser lawyer!”

Is it asking too much to have an Attorney General who doesn’t sound like a drunk in a trailer park brawl?

Apparently, it is.

FIRE sues Bondi, Noem for censoring Facebook group and app reporting ICE activity Two Midwesterners are fighting back after the platforms they created to report on public Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity were censored by government officials.

You have the right to record and publicly discuss the conduct and activity of law enforcement, including ICE. That's First Amendment 101.

And the federal government can't coerce private companies into censoring speech about ICE, just because it doesn't like what people have to say.

LAWSUIT:

“Cut ICE’s budget to restore federal health care funding” is an extremely popular message www.politico.com/f/?id=000001...

2025 Was the 2nd Safest Year for Border Patrol and ICE Agents Being a Border Patrol or ICE agent earns many insults, but words aren’t violence. Neither are they dangerous jobs.

Just a reminder as Bondi spreads administration bullshit about threats to immigration agents:

Last year was the second safest year for ICE and BP agents in history, despite a massive ramp up in agression, violence, and abuse by agents themselves.

Water’s not a pollutant either but you can drown in it, you absolute moron
