This story gets worse and worse.

One of the 50 people that ICE kidnapped today is a mother from the Democratic Republic of the Congo who has a pending asylum application and no criminal record

It’s an ethnic cleansing campaign. Pure and simple.

this is what it has come to for Mexican restaurants in the Twin Cities

Much of the Minnesota Fraud, up to 90%, is caused by people that came into our Country, illegally, from Somalia. “Congresswoman” Omar, an ungrateful loser who only complains and never contributes, is one of the many scammers. Did she really marry her brother? Lowlifes like this can only be a liability to our Country’s greatness. Send them back from where they came, Somalia, perhaps the worst, and most corrupt, country on earth. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!

unvarnished gutter racism and Nazism from the president. a disgrace to our country.

He was supposed to serve 10 years and pay $36 million in restitution for defrauding investors. Never served a day. Not Somali.

Video, I believe recorded off of local TV, of a bystander disarming one of the two killers.

If you're wondering what happened to Nate Silver, he was into the COVID lab leak theory and got negative feedback online, including from epidemiologists and virologists and (GASP!) posters, which added to his belief that The Woke are victimizing Nate Silver. It spiraled from there.

I'm not kidding.

If it didn’t say “read by the author” I never would have believed it. This is STUNNINGLY bad holy fucking shit she doesn’t sound like a human. She sounds like a human trying to sound like AI trying to sound like a human.

Pennsylvania life: One of your senators is from Connecticut and the other one is John Fetterman, who just asked President Herzog for a pardon for Netanyahu.

And the senate won't even legalize cannabis so I can't even get stoned to escape this.

Why little is known about how much students are learning at Pa.’s fastest-growing school It can be more difficult to identify what kids are learning in cyber schools, in general, but the challenge is more severe at Commonwealth Charter Academy.

I rarely recommend the P-N but this series on cyber charter schools is worth reading.

Ossoff: "This is one of the most consequential votes this Senate will take all year. By saying yea or nay to the clerk of the Senate later today, senators will decide whether people live or die. Senators will decide whether Georgians & folks across the country are financially ruined or have a shot."

I should really remember to take my PA politics complaints over here.

Today: People who complain about Josh Shapiro not doing things like raising the minimum wage, when it's our state senate that refuses to consider it. Shapiro's called for a raise since he was elected.

At a minimum, Prasad and Makary should lose their licenses for blatantly lying to the public about kids dying from the COVID19 vaccine, when the actual investigation found that zero deaths were certain to have been caused by vaccination.

Despicable, egregious, murderous behavior.

I’m not too old to dress like this, and neither are you.

(I’m also wearing a granny square cardigan on top, but I got caught in a downpour earlier, so like hell is the top half of me going on the public side of Al Gore’s internet)

Trump says Haiti no longer meets requirements for TPS. Haitians have to leave The Department of Homeland Security said TPS for Haiti ends Feb. 3, 2026, affecting over half a million people who may face return to gang-controlled Port-au-Prince.

the requirement is, of course, “be white” amp.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

Anti-vaccine sentiment is now a load-bearing plank in the Republican platform.

Democrats haven’t budged on the need for school vaccine requirements since 2019—86% agree with them then and now.

Republicans have consumed so much disinformation that their support has declined from 79% to 52%.

White Afrikaners looking at Trump and saying “don’t associate us with this racist!”

That’s quite a legacy.

I don’t support AIPAC and haven’t for over 20 years.

The yes votes are not about AIPAC money. This is turning into the new Soros.

Cranky reader: Rachel Cusk perennially gets raves from reviewers and I find her books utterly tedious.

I support everyone giving vast sums of money to Andrew Cuomo. It’s the “lighting a million quid on fire” art piece but this time performed by the worst people in the world.

Trump Administration Buries Legal Memo Suggesting It Could Pay November Food Benefits The U.S. Department of Agriculture, which administers the food program, says its hands are tied by the shutdown.

> "a September contingency plan, since deleted from the USDA’s website...said Congress intended 'that SNAP’s operations should continue' and that contingency funds 'are also available to fund participant benefits in the event that a lapse occurs [mid-fiscal year]'"

I predict that today’s Strands will baffle anyone under 40.

there’s a subset of people who, if you point out something bad happening now, will basically reply “it was always like this and anyone who disagrees is just privileged.” it parades as savvy but nine times out of ten it’s just an ahistorical oversimplification.

"they've always been like this" is always a tempting savvy take but it is just not true that Republican staffers were 100 percent open Nazis back in 2004, or hell even 2014. they just weren't

Bari Weiss as head of CBS News shows that now mediocre who’re women can also fail upward.

Watching prominent commenters followed by dozens of people I know say "it's over" because Jimmy Kimmel got suspended...like, they actually killed Medgar Evers, in defense of a fascist system that had been in place for decades. Imagine social media that day! Read history and have some self-respect.

Pretty sure the FCC isn't supposed to care about what's popular but about what's legal?
