'Reminds me of Anne Frank': Jewish seniors are offering to hide their Haitian caregivers as Trump's TPS end looms - Jewish Telegraphic Agency The end of Temporary Protected Status has Holocaust survivors offering to hide Haitian staffers, according to the CEO of a senior-living center in Florida.

"About 500 seniors live at Sinai Residences in Boca Raton, Florida, including many Holocaust survivors. Recently, some of them asked if they could hide the building’s Haitian staff in their apartments."

There will be signs.

We don’t owe them anything. They spent a decade ignoring obvious evidence implicating the most guilty while fabricating insane accusations against the innocent.

Happy Black History Month, Drake

I'm ready to vote for any Democrat who promises to destroy everything Trump builds, fire everyone he hired, and subject everyone who works for him (who wasn't a career civil servant already in place) to criminal investigation.

Average American taxpayer when snow is not removed by the city to their satisfaction: "WHY AM I EVEN PAYING TAXES? THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!"

Average taxpayer when their family member dies of a preventable disease after draining their life's savings: "That's just life, I guess!"

they won’t do shit. i wish everyone would stop preemptively cowering before losers who will fold the minute they don’t have daddy protecting them.

Can't stop laughing at this description of EVE Online

young republicans love writing newspaper articles called like “What Liberty Remains On These Shores For Thee?” and it’s about how women over 5’4” should be executed

People keep wanting this for boring bureaucratic jobs, but may I suggest "public defender's office"?

We need to keep taking notes on these collaborators. Epuration forensics.

It’s 2026. There is a measles outbreak in the prison for babies

I'm so sick of that dumb animal from Pennsylvania. We should never pay attention to what he has to say. But enough about John Fetterman! Folks,

I was a White House ethics lawyer.

I used to advise people not to even accept a free cup of coffee from someone who had interests before them. And staff followed those rules.

I can’t even find the words to describe the scale of Trump’s corruption here.

It's time for consequences. Expell the lot of them.

what does it mean when the groundhog won’t come out of the hole and you hear a single gunshot from inside

the Epstein files make it very clear why the MeToo backlash was so extreme and why so much of elite society preferred Donald Trump ruling us like a king to the barest hint of accountability

Cats of Thissio instagram post showing a short-haired brown tabby cat with one eye missing.

A selfie of myself with said cat sitting on my lap in front of the temple of Hephaestus.

The "Cats of Thissio" Instagram page just posted a picture of a familiar face...the very feline friend who came and sat on my lap while I rested by the temple of Hephaestus four years ago. I'm told her name is Elle.

Companies caught using AI slop:
"We're sorry that you saw us rub a dead rat on your hamburger. In the future we will be more careful to close the door."

Nah man, how about in the future you stop rubbing the hamburgers with dead rats?

I'm gonna say, I do not think this is all a big conspiracy plot by specifically epstein, it is much more systemic than that: all the rich and powerful naturally assume positions that consolidate their power, that marginalize the marginalized more, that ensure existing hierarchies remain as they are.

More state sanctioned terrorism against Minnesota

The justices claim their papers belong to them, not the government or the public, and generally arrange to have them locked away until long after their deaths. The court releases no visitor logs to reveal who meets with the justices.

like this is absurd, get over yourselves

How the Supreme Court Secretly Made Itself Even More Secretive

i am very much of the view that undermining the court’s secrecy is a necessary part of remaking it into something like an actual court (and not some guardian council) www.nytimes.com/2026/02/02/u...

I feel it's necessary to remind ourselves here that the West Bank is not Gaza and Hamas don't run the place

This is just ethnic cleansing and there isn't even a bogeyman to invoke as justification, and if you can't see why Palestinians are unhappy about this then there's something wrong with you

you: groundhog day is a perfectly-crafted movie which could not possibly be improved

me:

Trump runs the same play on everything. CBS, Denmark, these are not different victims. It's not hard to describe; repetition is good for messaging, and responsibility for that should fall on party leaders already laden with a whole message per day and not on people getting tear gassed.

A fundamental problem with this country is that you have less responsibility, transparency, and duty as you gain more power when it should be the opposite. The Supreme Court gets to be very secretive for no good reason. Cops get a monopoly on violence and have near total immunity when they use it.

The Permanent Overclass - The American Prospect The NFL’s billionaire owners literally can’t lose when it comes to making money. On the field? That’s another matter.

An NFL team can lose. (Trust me, I'm a Jets fan.)
But NFL owners are essentially guaranteed success — no matter how bad their team is, no matter how blatantly they disregard their fans, no matter how odious they are personally.

70 years ago white America was listening to "Don't be Cruel" (Elvis), "Que Sera, Sera" (Doris Day) & "I Almost Lost My Mind" (Pat Boone).

Meanwhile, Bo Diddley was singing,

I walk 47 miles of barbwire
Use a cobra snake for a necktie
Got a brand new house on the roadside
Made from rattlesnake hide
