Worth a re-up 11 days later.
And I honestly wish it wasn't.

Just when you thought the #EpsteinAdministration couldn't degrade our country any further:

This is well said. The only reason he lost this case is because what he did annoyed some rich people. Every time he does something that takes away the rights of the rest of us it will be either a 6-3 or 5-4 decision in his favor.

Alysa Liu Is Skating Again, Her Way This Time

Her father fled China because he organized student protests during Tiananmen. He was a political refugee. The story of this family, and Alysa Liu, would have played out very differently today. This is what we're losing. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/19/w...

Jesse Jackson gave his most important speech in San Francisco. It still resonates today Jesse Jackson, who died on Tuesday, gave a 1984 political speech at the Democratic National Convention in San Francisco that is among the all-time greats. Here’s what he said.

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see.

His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert.

Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

Thankfully, I think most people understood & received the message of love, history, unity, pride, joy, & celebration. And the ones who didn’t are missing out & missing the point. 💗🎶💃🙏🏼🤩

I wrote this article last week and, luckily, it still holds after the Benito Bowl:

“I believe Bad Bunny’s performance will invite people to understand the beauty and complexity of our people’s history, even if it makes outsiders uncomfortable.”

Bad Bunny’s beautiful and joyful portrayal of Puerto Rico stands on the shoulders of Kendrick Lamar’s love letter to Compton last year.

Watching the biggest performance in the world become a representation of real people in real, American places is beautiful. #SuperBowl

The ending to Bad Bunny's halftime show:

"The only thing more powerful than hate is love"
"Together, we are America"

The people who want their own halftime show are the same people who wanted their own bathroom and water fountain.

Trump Deletes Racist Video of Obamas After Outcry

"Small, insecure, man devoid of moral compass or human decency & consumed by greed, hatred, racism, & jealousy provides example # 842 of who he is & has ALWAYS been" Can't wait to be rid of this depraved scumbag & hateful, disgusting administration.

What ICE Should Have Learned from the Fugitive Slave Act Americans took to the streets to defend their neighbors in the nineteenth century, too.

At another point in American history, loosely regulated federal agents violently removed people from their homes or grabbed them off the streets. They were called “slave catchers.” www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

Was driving my kids to school and the first thing on the radio was reporting about Trump's video depicting the Obamas as apes and I think many people still don't fully appreciate what it means to have to raise Black children in a country where the president is so brazenly and consistently racist

Bad Bunny gets STANDING OVATION calling out Trump at Grammys: "ICE OUT!" YouTube video by Brian Tyler Cohen

"Before I say thanks to God, I’m going to say: ICE out.

We’re not savage, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens. We are humans, and we are Americans." 💗🤩🎶💪

Protest sign from MN that says, “DEARLY BELOVED. WE ARE GATHERED HERE TODAY TODISMANTLE THIS THING CALLED ICE.” with a picture of Prince in the left hand lower corner.

10/10 ICE protest sign

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

This guy is 100% not in the Epstein files.

This is why Steven Miller and Russ Vought are such important figures in this administration. They are the ones who have the ideological commitment and discipline to take the Tasmanian devil that is Trump, and point him at the features of the US's constitutional order that they want to destroy.

Sadists. Thugs. Liars.

The entire regime is one big middle finger to everything that’s good and decent

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

New Yorker cartoon. A man and a woman are standing in front of a television set. The woman has a remote in her hand. She says: want to watch coverage of the politicians encouraging fascism or the politicians doing absolutely nothing to stop it?
