to the white phony-refugees from South Africa whose qualifications are merely a "white" skin, a free pass to the US; to dark-skinned Africans who have proven themselves deserving, nothing. shame.

last poem by Ray Carver: And did you get what you wanted from this life, even so? I did. And what did you want? To call myself beloved, to feel myself beloved on the earth.

Back in November, @DHSgov found one — a “criminal alien” who voted despite not being a US citizen. As it turns out, he was a green card holder who, the @nytimes reports, voted for Donald Trump — three times. nytimes.com/2026/02/16/us/…

@DarioNardella Sounds like something Hitler would have organized

Alla fine #Meloni ha deciso di far partecipare l’Italia al Board of Peace di #Trump per #Gaza. Una decisione indecente anzitutto per noi italiani. Il cosiddetto Board of Peace non è un organismo multilaterale, ma uno strumento geopolitico unilaterale di pressione. È composto per metà da regimi autoritari e nasce fuori da ogni cornice di diritto internazionale. La scelta del governo italiano (unico dell’UE, oltre all’Ungheria di Orban non a caso) di partecipare come “osservatore” è ambigua e sbagliata: legittima un’iniziativa che indebolisce l’ONU e marginalizza l’Europa. La pace non si costruisce nei club selettivi, ma nelle istituzioni multilaterali. L’Italia dovrebbe stare lì, non altrove. Meloni ancora una volta sceglie Trump invece di lavorare per l’Unità dell’Europa e per rafforzare l’ONU. Mi auguri che si renda conto di aver annunciato una decisione ingiustificabile e torni indietro evitando così, di fronte alla tragedia di Gaza, di mettere l’Italia in una posizione internazionale grave e indifendibile.

Biden probably lost the presidency with this single appearance on TV. such amateur-ism! following this, demands for him to step aside, hurriedly choosing his vice-president to run for the presidency, not allowing for other candidates to be considered.... it is hard to comprehend these missteps which, yes, were recognized as missteps at the time, not just in retrospect. so we have a near-police state now, with ICE spending many billions on building detention centers.... & a president openly/brazenly hoping to rig or even cancel elections.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change — all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

The WSJ Editorial Board weighs in: “It’s hard to recall a regulator who has done as much damage to medical innovation in as little time as Vinay Prasad. In his latest drive-by shooting, the leader of the Food and Drug Administration’s vaccine division rejected Moderna ’s mRNA flu vaccine without even a cursory review. This is arbitrary government at its worst.” wsj.com/opinion/vinay-…

women who have been married for decades are supposed to alter their documents to their birth name? & men need to do---nothing? just to please the MAGA president desperate not to lose an election, be impeached & convicted & go to prison as he & fellow pedophiles deserve? this is what you are defending.

No words “One [immigration] officer even told Said to call the Afghan embassy; when he explained there was no Afghan embassy in the US because the Taliban was in control of the country, the officer said to call the Taliban.” The Taliban had detonated a bomb just outside of his family’s home in 2020, killing several people, in retaliation for his work with US troops.

There is no legit reason for this email to be redacted to this extent.

T***p embodies, in his heavy flaccid sagging body & sagging clown-face, the dark side of America. it is surprising that anyone was surprised by the racist caricature. his followers are like creatures that have leapt out from beneath rocks, gleeful & gloating. even if his policies don't help them in the slightest, or indeed hurt them, they seem thrilled that his reptile-brain so accurately reflects their own. it is not surprising that an intelligent educated gracious attractive person like Obama is offensive to them.

The Fascist playbook: Hitler stated in Mein Kampf, winners in politics are those who resort to “the weapon which most readily conquers reason: terror and violence.”

Protester in Minnesota: I’m 70 years old and I’m fucking angry *disappears into gas*

I make no apology for posting this photo. I think it’s a photo that will haunt America in the years to come. This is what you have become. If you defend this, have a word with yourself.

I have never seen a case where state law enforcement had to file a lawsuit to obtain evidence of a police shooting within its jurisdiction. Until now. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

our courageous reporters covering ICE atrocities are the new war correspondents. except not in a battle-torn foreign country, right here in Minnesota.

BREAKING: CBS just pulled its own 60 Minutes report exposing torture at El Salvador’s CECOT prison, a facility where Venezuelans were secretly sent instead of deported. Bari Weiss now runs CBS. Watch what they didn’t want you to see.

Magnum told reporters at @TheGuardian that it blocked Ben & Jerry’s from creating a flavor for Palestine last year, because it was ‘not the right time’. Meanwhile, Palestinians were living through one of the worst humanitarian crises of this generation. If that’s ‘not the right time’ to take a stand, when is? And if its ’not the right time' for a business with a conscience to speak out, when is? Keep telling @MagnumGlobal what you think of their silencing tactics. #FreeBenandJerrys

one thing that is annoying is how universities are reduced by pop-journalism to singular points of view. anyone who has ever been associated with any university or college knows that there is always much disagreement among individuals; university departments are never 100% behind anything, especially administration; committees bicker, students are not predictable or inflexible; while some protesters draw headlines & excited denunciations, by far more students are involved in their classes.
