You know what? Yeah. Why the hell do we have a gender marker on a license to begin with?! It’s actually kind of pointless.

Reminds me of the incredibly weird Bones crossover with Sleepy Hollow. WTF?

Kash Patel’s use of jet delayed FBI team’s mass shooting response, whistleblower tells top senator Sen. Richard Durbin says FBI director’s “misplaced priorities” led to the delayed response to the Brown University shooting in December.

Any remotely real oversight ain’t going to go well for them www.ms.now/news/senator...

The Trump tariffs are the highest tax increase on the American public since World War II

Yes, you read that correctly

What's worse, he did it while taking health insurance away from 20 million people

And giving $75 billion to ICE so they can hunt US citizens

Great. Now I hate the US hockey team. Disgusting.

With New Momentum, Republican States Push Broader Limits for Trans Americans In states that once focused mainly on health care and sports for transgender minors, debates now revolve around the validity of transgender identity.

The subheadline on this NYT piece is going to turn me into the Joker.

Like... this... is exactly what trans people have been saying was going to happen for years.

‘Don’t go to the US – not with Trump in charge’: the UK tourist with a valid visa detained by ICE for six weeks Karen Newton was in America on the trip of a lifetime when she was shackled, transported and held for weeks on end.

It is crucial that Democrats read such things as they consider DHS funding. It is an affront to the entire idea of America. Operating like the secret police of the worst totalitarian societies. Unless it completely changes, funding it is an abdication of their Constitutional duty.

The Supreme Court ruling has helped the family of one man in particular: the architect of Trump’s tariffs himself.

A firm headed by Lutnick’s sons was allowing its traders to purchase the rights to hundreds of millions of dollars of refunds in the event tariffs were struck down. trib.al/JcwQ9MT

Court’s Tariff Ruling Puts $133 Billion in State of Limbo The Supreme Court’s decision puts into issue billions collected in tariffs over the past year.

$133 billion is now in a state of limbo. The fight over refunds has already begun. on.wsj.com/3OSe14Q

Is there a national health reporter out there who can help amplify what’s happening in Eugene, Oregon?

And a REGRESSIVE tax, meaning it disproportionately effects those who have to spend more on taxable goods in relation to their income.

Trump's Caribbean Surge Nears $3 Billion Price Tag So Far The operations around Venezuela that eventually led to the capture of its president pulled in nearly a fifth of the US Navy’s surface fleet at a cost of more than $20 million a day.

Bloomberg says we've spent $3B on Trump's invasion of Venezuela.

Which is 6X more than the cancer, Alzheimer, diabetes, and heart disease cures they've cut to pay for it.

Well now, would you look at that?

A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of SEVERE disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

Behind the graphite drawing is a varied gradient of colors in his fur, grays, blues, purples, yellows, pink in the ears and yellow eyes. Across his impressive fluffy mane are hand lettered words in a block serif style reading 'Maybe It will happen today'

At last!!! I’ve wanted something like this for so long! I’ve previously wanted Wil to replace the film narration from Richard Dreyfus, but having him do the entire audiobook is perfect given his current career path as an audiobook reader. Fantastic!

OH HELL YES! AT LAST!!!

This is so deeply fucked. I wish these people would just admit they hate the idea of democracy and get it over with. This kayfabe bullshit is just silly at this point.

ICE raid at apartment complex causes elementary students to run from their bus stop in NJ Thursday Students were seen running away from their bus stop on Thursday morning as ICE agents conducted an operation at an apartment in Lindenwold, NJ.

Most people probably focus on the damage ICE has caused in Minnesota

But their violent, fascist tactics affect people all over the country

Here they are-terrorizing 4th and 5th graders at a bus stop in New Jersey

May Trump and Stephen Miller rot in hell

Between this and the story about the ice agents who ate at a Mexican restaurant and then arrested some of its workers when they were done, it's a reminder that these people reject even the most basic social agreements of hospitality and of helping others. They're sociopaths.

For over a decade, Indigenous communities across Minnesota have gathered on Feb. 14 to bring awareness to missing and murdered Indigenous relatives.

The day brings awareness to the epidemic of Indigenous people who have gone missing or have been murdered in acts of violence.

In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP.

Members of his own first term cabinet were calling him a fascist. You fuckers were all warned, over and over again, and you still helped reelect him.

Sometimes I remember Reagan removing Jimmy Carter’s solar panels and I think we’ve been enduring this shit for way too many years.

It's jarring to see how much money is going to ICE instead of education, healthcare, public transportation, international aid, green energy infrastructure, and the arts, but I guess that's the point.

Never going to happen. He’ll die in office without ever being held accountable. Once THAT happens we have a chance to hold all the rest of these Empire-building scumbags accountable, and I look forward to that. Assuming we survive that long.

Correct. I balked when I saw that article. Bullshit incarnate.

It doesn’t get any more disgusting than this.
