This Super Bowl Sunday, here's a reminder of what real courage looks like.

Democratic senators will hold the Senate floor all night long in opposition to the nomination of Russ Vought, an organizer of Project 2025, to head the OMB.

#ThickTrunkTuesday

what kind of stock trades do you think your senator has lined up for tomorrow morning? is that what they're working on tonight instead of figuring out how to get those teenagers out of the servers at the treasury?

Remember this day.

The last full day with a Democratic President.

We don’t know when or if we’ll ever live another day like this. 🥺

The Chinese are the fastest-growing migrant group at the US’ southern border. The CNA documentary Walk The Line tells their stories as they attempt one of the world’s most dangerous migration routes, starting in South America.

More than 20 Americans are missing in action on the front lines in Ukraine, with a spike in casualties over the past six months as foreigners fill urgent gaps in the country’s embattled defenses, according to a CNN investigation.

Thanks you can open your messages if you don’t we can be friends

Are you paying ATTENTION, yet? 👇

Well, are you?!

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge).

You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*

Five years ago, we lost a legend.

Mamba Forever 💛💜

Never forget January 6th. Never forget January 6th. Never forget January 6th.

Knowing that over half the voters wanted this… it’s really doing a number on me today. So just know: when I post about inconsequential things like paintings of dragons, I’m not ignoring the world around me. It’s 1) my job 2) a coping mechanism and 3)hopefully a source of enjoyment for you

The firefighter driving the dozer to create a fire line at the Hughes Fire must have balls of steel.

Glad to know they have air conditioning and air purifiers inside!

Hardly worth debunking this xenophobic garbage from Telegraph.

FWIW they seem to to have taken the (implausible) upper bound of @pewresearch.org's old, completely debunked estimate (1.2 m) and then assigning a % of those to London.

And then got London's actual population wrong!

Brilliant satirical cover from Private Eye, mocking spineless media organisations and journalists who submit and cower in the face of power 👏

CARTOON OF THE DAY

I embrace my imperfections because they make me who I am: an honest, loving, and happy person.

This street interviewer didn’t realise who Willem Dafoe was.
Enjoyed his answers, he basically sees life & death like I do.

I’ve been so stressed about my state of California bending the knee and while I still fear decorum this brings me to ease. Remember, CA is critical to taming DT. 5th largest economy has weight that can benefit all.

This cop is a HERO!

Former Injured DC police officer Michael Fanone LIVE on CNN:

"This is what I'd say to Stewart Rhodes: Go F-CK yourself"

Hope for better Americans.
