Wow. A Democrat running in the primary to take on Mike Lawler (in a district Harris won) says that while voters have appreciated her going to the West Bank to learn more about Israel's occupation of Palestine — and honestly identifying it as "apartheid" — party officials are now attacking her:

Just threw up for the second time in my adult life. So tired.

The choice to frame this rhetorically as a negotiation *with ICE and DHS* rather than, you know, a decision about their future made by their rightful superiors in the popularly elected legislature is, to me, incredibly grating.

Heather and I had SO MUCH fun doing anti-ICE embroidery and talking about literally everything. Make sure to check out the full ep!!

Collaborator thinks concentration camp guards and slave catchers need better training

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

They're building concentration camps with my tax money Chuck. They're torturing children. They're murdering innocent people on the street. What are you doing.

🧵 In response to my posts on X today, DOJ 1) unredacted an FBI file that LABELS two individuals as co-conspirators 2) unredacted a file that lists several men who might be implicated 3) tacitly admitted that Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem was the sender of the torture video

Thomas Massie is cooking right now and explicitly states that UAE Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem was sending torture videos to Epstein

Monaco, the wedding, Baile Inolvidable, Nuevayol were the high points for me. As soon as Monaco came on I recognized it (ooo ooo ooo). I loved the look of the wedding, the band's suits & the dancing. The roll call of the Americas was amazing. Wonderful production and lovely vibes~

Albanese’s stupid, immoral decision to invite Herzog has inflamed divisions in the local Jewish community too.

#RealHeroes call for @albomp.bsky.social and @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social to "arrest Herzog".

Benito Bowl Review

I don't listen to Bad Bunny but I knew he was spotify's top artist for multiple years so it's not a surprise to do the super bowl halftime.
I just liked the vibes in the beginning lol. And shazamed songs my second watch.

Seriously. “My wife just left me. Find her.”

The nice commercial about helping kids find their lost pets was the scariest thing I've seen in my life

You think of Ring as a way to racially profile black people, but we also find the black people who probably stole your dog.

In 2016, when Post reporter Jason Rezaian was freed after spending 1.5 years in Iranian prison, Jeff Bezos personally flew him back on his private plane. Bezos used it as a photo op.

Now, Bezos is leaving people he laid off overseas in a lurch.

Cheers for Team USA turn to jeers for Vance at Milan Cortina opening ceremony The vice president and his wife attended Friday's Olympic festivities in Milan, Italy.

(Politico). As expected at Winter Olympics in Italy, cheers for USA continued with jeers for Vance when he/wife shown on video. Israel also jeered at opening ceremony.

Dr. Ting provides emergency room care to a battered victim so that Epstein doesn't have to take her to a real ER and answer questions about what he's doing with a kid that young and how she got hurt.

I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

You can make this shit up …

… but unfortunately in this timeline you don't have to 😬

Minute Maid to Cut Frozen Juice Line After 80 Years The Coca-Cola Company announced this week it will discontinue the brand’s frozen lines in April, citing “shifting consumer preferences” as frozen concentrates have declined in popularity with American...

Minute Maid will discontinue its frozen juice line this April, ending an 80-year run for the category pioneer, as Coca-Cola cites shifting consumer preferences amid an 8% year-over-year decline in frozen beverage sales, according to NielsenIQ

A bus stop near Tesla's flagship store in London. Imagine a Super Bowl ad that showed only this.

The ministries said the spraying constitutes a hostile act and a grave violation of Lebanese sovereignty, warning of severe damage to vegetation, soil fertility, agricultural production, water sources, and long-term public health. They held Israel fully responsible for the resulting environmental, agricultural, and health harm, and announced expanded field surveys and precautionary measures for residents and farmers. Glyphosate is commonly used in military vegetation-clearing operations along borders to kill crops, grass, and ground cover, strip concealment, create exposed buffer zones, damage agricultural livelihoods, and discourage civilian presence and return. Lebanese authorities warned that its use in this context threatens food security and long-term environmental stability. The chemical has been classified as “probably carcinogenic to humans” by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, a UN-affiliated body, raising additional concerns over health risks from high-concentration aerial spraying. UNIFIL said it was informed in advance by the Israeli military that a so-called “non-toxic” chemical would be dropped near the Blue Line, forcing peacekeepers to suspend operations for more than nine hours across roughly one third of their area of responsibility. UNIFIL called the action unacceptable and a violation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun condemned the spraying as an environmental and health crime and ordered diplomatic and legal action. Lebanon has documented more than 2,000 Israeli ceasefire breaches in the final three months of 2025, as Israel continues to occupy Lebanese territory and block reconstruction in border villages. 🎥 Video from GreenSoutherners

🇱🇧 Israeli aircraft sprayed chemical substances over areas along the Blue Line across southern Lebanon on Feb. 1, which Lebanon’s Ministries of Ag. & Environ. confirmed included the herbicide glyphosate at concentrations 20 to 30 times higher than normal levels.

The ministries said the spraying...

As the media starts to reach for the “Epstein was KGB” narrative I wonder how they’ll grapple with our reporting that the back channel he set up with Russia was on behalf of Israel
