Yes he was handsome. But give some credit to the meticulous attention his wife Anna Murray Douglass paid to his care, his home, & the presentation of his garments. It was Anna, a free woman who he met in Baltimore, who out of her meager savings gave FD the money for his train ride to escape.

My universe revolves around you. Happy Valentine’s Day, Gabby.

Happy Valentine’s Day, MK.

After 38 years of celebrating together, I still get butterflies.

Lucky to fall even more for my best friend and love of my life every day after all this time.

Walz: "The federal government needs to pay for what they broke here. There's going to be accountability on things that happened, but one of them is the incredible and immense cost borne by the people of this state. The federal government needs to be responsible."

Pirro is morally compromised, lacks intellect and integrity, and is beneath contempt, even when she is sober. She has no business holding any public office.

These monks' walk for peace captivated Americans. It ends this week A group of Buddhist monks walked from Fort Worth, Texas, to Washington, D.C., in the name of peace. The 108-day pilgrimage captivated Americans.

Incredible to see Chicago's very own Giancarlo Guerrero get a chance to shine on the national stage during the Super Bowl.

Rep. Jesús García comes out swinging: "You're one of the worst attorney generals in our history and an instrument of Donald Trump's lawless authoritarian agenda, and I'm glad the American people are seeing who you are."

When people are afraid to go to work, afraid to shop, or afraid to gather in their community, it hurts families, neighborhoods, and our entire economy.

If you can, show up for a small business and let’s continue to show the nation what it means to respond with care and decency.

Bondi should be impeached based solely on her conduct today. Talking money when the topic is Epstein victims should earn her contempt of Congress and disbarment as well. She is a disgrace to the legal profession.

Lindsey Graham’s approval rating in South Carolina is 28%.

After 9 months on the campaign trail I can confidently say Lindsey Graham’s approval rating in Black churches in South Carolina is 0%.

Ossoff: "You're seeing what I'm seeing, right? The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."

They’ve Always Known He is A Racist... They just never cared

"Trump is a racist.

The Republican Party tolerates — if it does not actively endorse — his racism.

Those who normalize him enable racism. His agenda is grounded in racism."

The Undeniable Fun of Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show The singer’s critics said his performance would be divisive. They were totally wrong.

Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show was a blast, writes @skornhaber.bsky.social—“a precisely detailed, relentlessly stimulating medley rooted in the good old-fashioned pleasure principle”:

The Kids Trump Sent to ICE’s Dilley Detention Center ProPublica went inside the immigrant detention center for families in Dilley, Texas. Children held there told us about the anguish of being ripped from their lives in the United States and the fear of...

8/ For more on what kids are experiencing inside the Dilley detention center, read the full story by reporter @micarosenberg.bsky.social:

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. 🧵

The Republicans upset about Bad Bunny are sending a clear message. They want the Latino vote - but they don’t want the Latinos attached to those votes.

Took some time to head to Greenwood today to show solidarity with some friends. Thank you to members of the @gwdcountydems.bsky.social for forfeiting part of your Saturday to make your voices heard #NewSC

Team USA, Vance Booed in Frosty Reception at Italy’s Winter Olympics With the U.S. vice president in attendance, local fans at the Milan Cortina Opening Ceremony made their frustration with America heard on Friday By Joshua Robinson and Marcus Walker Feb. 6, 2026 5:06 pm ET 46 Flag-bearer Erin Jackson leads the U.S. contingent in the athletes parade during the Opening Ceremony. Flag-bearer Erin Jackson leads the U.S. contingent in the athletes parade during the Opening Ceremony. Piroschka Van De Wouw/Reuters MILAN—In a gleefully kitschy Opening Ceremony that featured ancient Romans, dancing espresso pots and a number by Mariah Carey, Italy threw open its arms to welcome the entire world to the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics.

HOLD UP. This headline from the @wsj.com is dead wrong - No one at the actual opening ceremonies thinks the US team was being booed. Come on! The CBC broadcasters & people in the stadium are all crystal clear that JD VANCE WAS BEING BOOED, not the team.

Trump's post of President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama is flat out vile and racist.

This kind of bigotry—even if subsequently deleted—sets us back as a country, betrays our values, and only sows more rhetoric of hatred and ridicule.

But Republicans are OK with this.

I spent so much time fighting with editors to describe racist things as racist. The diagnostic and epistemological crisis in this country is not just about misinformation, it’s about the editorial / media classes refusal to see, and unwillingness to listen to (mostly women, POC) journalists.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
