U.S. women’s hockey team declines Trump’s State of the Union invitation The players “were honored to be included and are grateful for the acknowledgement,” according to a team statement.

The U.S. women’s hockey team declined an invitation by President Trump to attend Tuesday’s State of the Union address at the Capitol, a spokesperson said.

When will anyone ask WHY Judge Aileen Cannon tries always to protect Trump? A woman whose husband worked for New York City mobster and Trump pal John Rosatti, now a judge who consistently rules for Trump. Not one reporter will dig into her history? She's beyond the presumption of normality.

When the blizzard leans hard against the windows and the world turns white and wild, I think of hidden valleys, quiet skies and a better world.

If we can’t leave, we can imagine. If we’re snowed in, we travel inward and dream.

Paradise isn’t found. We make it.

Stay warm/safe!

“Judge Cannon's decision to permanently block the release of this extraordinarily significant report is impossible to square with the First Amendment and the common law"

The reactionary centrists who took seriously and platformed the moral panics over DEI and critical race theory seriously helped this along. And now that fanatical zealots are banning “world-views” and Holocaust education they are mostly quiet.

I'm old enough to remember when polio ripped through the globe and put my friends into iron lungs.

We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives.

RFK Jr. is a disgrace.

David Bowie: "In England, it was always presumed that it was written about the space landing because it kind of came to prominence around the same time. But it actually wasn’t. It was written because of going to see the film 2001..."

They only care about women’s sports as a way to attack trans women.

It’s that simple.

Trump has always been liked by people who want to say and do shitty things, it’s not the “male loneliness epidemic” or “economic anxiety” like people have been saying.

My ex was from PA & would wax rhapsodic talking about growing up with that stuff. We found some in a store we stopped at on our way back from a roadtrip & he made us fried TPR sandwiches pretty much as soon as we walked through the door when we got home. I immediately understood the appeal. 🤤🤤🤤

If you're from New Jersey...you know.

The FBI Director, everyone. You paid for it.

As a reminder, I'm trying to clear out some copies of VELVETEEN VS. THE SEASONS, which are taking over my office. Details here: seananmcguire.com/blog/2026/02...

This guy should run.

Why the FUCK is the director of the FUCKING FBI using YOUR TAXES to FLY TO ITALY so he can party with pro hockey players?!? In WHAT FUCKING UNIVERSE is this ok?!

God, pretty much all of them. I will eat basically any garbage you put in front of me

“Lawyers Ghislaine Maxwell are fighting the requested release of 90,000 pages related to Epstein and Maxwell, saying a law used to force the public release of millions of documents is unconstitutional..”

If the average American listened to what other world leaders were saying at this point in time, they might realize the repercussions of a Trump presidency.

Tactical voting groups say greens - not labour - will stop Reform in byelection.

On Thursday only Greens can beat Reform in Gorton and Denton. And we will beat their hate with a message of hope.

On Thursday help us make hope normal again.

Police don’t wear masks. State troopers don’t wear masks. The National Guard doesn’t wear masks. But you know who does?

White supremacists, militia groups, insurrectionists, and ICE.
