Just a bit of cosmos trying to make sense out of something, anything.
The UT system populating is nearly 46% Latino. Calling the histories, literatures, and political realities of these communities “controversial” is not about neutrality. It is about deciding whose knowledge is expendable.

To REALLY read it.
‘If you’re going to swear to defend it, if the possibility is there to lose your life defending it, you should know what it says.’
More people should have received this advice.
War crime! SANCTIONS!

Republican lawmakers pretending that the SAVE Act isn’t a huge problem for married women are either lying or haven’t actually read the bill.
Mike Rounds said a marriage certificate is a valid form of ID. It is not. trib.al/8Ks1nuh
So the previous strikes didn’t “totally obliterate” their nuclear capability then?

So the President of the United States illegally taxed our groceries, clothes, and other basics goods for nearly a year.
Where’s our refund?

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported.
He finally died.
I am so angry.

Me: No law enforcement official should cover their face and conceal their identity. They are accountable to the public.
Sean Spicer: What about BLM protesters who wore masks?
Me: They were private citizens. It’s different when police, who are carrying guns and have the right to kill you, do it.
Donald Trump and Ghislaine Maxwell are on the same side, trying to keep Epstein documents secret.

JD Vance personally invited Pope Leo to the U.S. 250th celebration on the 4th of July. Today the Vatican announced Leo will be spending the day with migrants instead.

This absolutely captures it. Instead of "Trump Administration," we should say "Trump Syndicate."

Her father fled China because he organized student protests during Tiananmen. He was a political refugee. The story of this family, and Alysa Liu, would have played out very differently today. This is what we're losing. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/19/w...
