This story is so wrenching

I wonder sometimes what kind of parents raised these craven creeps

Same Brutal ICE. Now Stealthier. ICE has learned how to be cruel and lawless without drawing so much attention to itself.

"Assaulting protesters and then gunning them down in the street is out; carelessly dropping a blind, helpless man in a coffee-shop parking lot to freeze to death is still very much in."

Strongmen, like Trump, live in constant fear of being held accountable — which is why all of us should be concerned about what they might do to the upcoming midterms.

The best thing we can all do is pay attention, call them out for what they’re doing, & turn out in huge numbers in November.

She really is fed up with me working so much

It’s Caturday, she needs a moment of your time.

If you pay to raise your membership to the next tier, they’ll let you watch.

No doubt Tulsi Gabbard is drafting her resignation letter as we speak.

They’re just taking a break.

The people leading the U.S. war on Iran are a former “Fox & Friends” guest and a former “Fox & Friends” host.

I would be very wary of taking Iranian claims at face value until verified, just as I would be wary of taking Trump’s claims at face value until verified.

For those waiting or procrastinating until Election Day, that day is Tuesday, March 3, in NC. I urge you to do your civic duty. Voting in Primaries sets the agenda for the general. Many good candidates get lost because citizens are fickle. Are too busy to. Once their opinion.

There’s a lot of things that need to be said today. But there’s one main one:

Thank you Ukraine.

We see you.
We know what you’ve done for us.
We know what we owe you.
We know you will win and take your place as a central defender of the free world.

The Russia–Ukraine conflict: 1461 days of war It is the human spirit, not hi-tech warfare, that has produced the most valuable lesson from four years on the battle front.

From Stars and Stripes' John Vandiver:

It's not hyperbole to suggest that today we have a federal government that doesn't so much represent or resemble a federal administration as it does a family crime syndicate.

@hillaryclinton.bsky.social: "I don't understand why it's so difficult for the press to have a consistent narrative about how dangerous Trump is."

I'm funding a launching a new cat show in which I'm the judge. I hug each cat, tell the owner their cat is perfect, and then we all hang out and talk about our cats.

Corrupt is no longer a strong enough word to describe MAGA and Trump.

Malfeasance is now my choice word to describe how: illegal, dishonest, rotten, vile, fraudulent, corrupt, awful, and perverted they have become.

Four years ago Russia began it's full scale invasion of Ukraine. They expected it to fall in days. They were wrong. Long live Ukraine.

It is four years ago today that the Russians launched their full scale invasion of Ukraine. Many in the west wrote Ukraine off and prophesied a “shock and awe” Russian victory. Instead Ukraine defied its attacker and their fight for freedom became decisive for the future of European freedom.

In response, Trump punched her in the head and kicked her out."
