Thor’s Snuggle Buddy

Absolutely remarkable statement from Pope Leo today. One for the history books www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

Watching The Insider. A great movie based on a true story that only exists because CBS News and 60 Minutes were once incredibly respected as news organizations. How the mighty have been crushed by talentless flunkies and authoritarianism.

some thoughts on all of this madness from earlier in the morning youtu.be/-yUi-0vNlDA

#MorningVibe My advice to younger & older women alike as we end one year and enter the next. Learn who you really are. Love that woman. Enter the new year with a renewed sense of self. P. S. Men could learn from this as well. ✨Happy Holidays ✨

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

If these Dems do vote yes tonight they have wasted everyone‘s time, conceded Dem blame for the shutdown, & shown no regard for millions Americans are now facing unaffordable raises to their insurance. The fact Kelly, Osoff, & Baldwin are on this list is shocking. I thought they were better than this

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

It’s not. Actually it’s even worse: 50 year mortgages give the false promise of owning something, amassing wealth for your family when all you’re doing is renting from the bank while covering all the costs of homeownership.

50 year mortgages are just indentured servitude. Their introduction will make homes even more unaffordable: prices will rise because of the promise of a reduced payment…even if it is only a few hundred dollars.

This is foul. The cruelty is the point. And also this all happening the week they announce reduction in the cost of GLP1s through TrumpRX. It’s all a cruel con intended to enrich the wealthy and punish the people Yam Tits hates the most: the poor and not physically pleasing (ironic, I know).

Russians dropped a glide bomb on elderly people who were waiting in line for their pensions. More than 20 dead. Please. Don’t look away and don’t be silent. This is all I could ask for

This is a pretty important point!

Watch this whole interview. I hope Newsom keeps this energy up and other leaders follow suit. We need it now. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/watch/...

Of course the LA Times makes it look like a full on riot instead of showing that the mostly peaceful protesters were literally and constantly assaulted by ICE agents. The majority of fires that were started weren’t by the public but by ICE firing into the crowds and canisters starting fires. 🧵

👇🏻

Your safety is the top priority. Peaceful protesters have already been harmed for doing nothing. The story they’re selling isn’t legit. Please film everything, document everything.

Trump regime ICE forces firing randomly at US citizens in Los Angeles over the weekend. The brave people of California rose up to protect their communities from masked unidentified fascists that were abducting innocent people off the streets.

Every American—esp business owners—should be worried about cuts to Medicaid. They hurt the most vulnerable and will drive up hospital and insurance costs exponentially. My company proudly provides good insurance as a benefit to employees. I’m preparing for a 30%+ hike to premiums next year.

The number of times I yell “this seems illegal!” at my phone a day seems, well, illegal.

Ron DeSantis wants to loosen Florida's child labor laws to make up for the loss of migrant workers, by letting children as young as 14 work overnight shifts. This George Carlin quote explains why R's want to end public education and reinstate child labor. #ProudBlue #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

Truer words….

This is what is needed in the current times. I hope other outlets will follow suit and advertisers who care about maintaining the sanctity and sanity of the U.S. place media based on those values.

Travesty Demi didn’t win. Her performance—esp that scene—was career defining, moving, and incredibly relatable.

This year, Ramadan is expected to begin at sundown on Friday, February 28, and end at sundown on Sunday, March 30. Ramadan is said to begin at the first observance of the crescent Moon over Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Learn more! Almanac.com/Ramadan

I do have to wonder in all of this: how close are we to WW3?

Before today, I was never ashamed to be an American. We should be so lucky to have a leader with half as much courage as President Zelenskyy. I hope all of western Europe, Canada, and Mexico rallies around them against Russia and…us. Talk about being on the wrong side of history.

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

This is exactly what they should be doing. Bernie is and he’s getting huge turnout from voter who feel duped and ignored.

A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping with major retailers tomorrow, February 28, as part of an “economic blackout.” I encourage you to join. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/boycott

I have named my dog (in my profile pic) President of my House and tomorrow I shall be celebrating him and him only.

Make no mistake about it: all of this is a free pass for this administration’s supporters to use force to protect their president with righteousness and a belief they are on the right side of history. Spoiler: they are not.

I don’t understand how the party that was once defined by rule of law has become a group of stooges allowing an idiot and his billionaire tear the country down to nothing in an illegal coup. How are all of them okay with this? Don’t they see that even the leopards will eventually come for them?

Not that the world needs more middle aged white woman discourse but…I just want to say that I don’t know any of Kendrick Lamar’s work but that Super Bowl show was fantastic: the music, the message, the imagery. I now want to dig into his work. I see why he won a Pulitzer among his many accolades.

Happy Groundhog Day!! Will Punxsutawney Phil see his shadow? We love our little forecasting friend! When that Seer of Seers, Sage of Sages, Weather Prognosticator Extraordinary makes his much-anticipated forecast, do you think Punxsutawney Phil will see his shadow? 😁 Almanac.com/Groundhog-Day

Read the room, Chuck. This ain’t it. Dem leadership is proving they’ve learned nothing about messaging.

The first Senators to actually do anything about the Trump admin

The kindness of Canada and Mexico to apply strategic tariffs to red states. It’s the best they can do to try and protect Americans who did not vote for and do not endorse any of this.

Yeah. Many of us know. And we will suffer alongside the racists and people who couldn’t be bothered to learn what a vote for the guy from a bad reality TV show would mean for their and their family’s future.

WTF? I work in media. This is chilling. X and TikTok will soon be essentially state run media.

An untested technology controlling weapons that can annihilate humanity. What could go wrong?

Draw your own conclusions, but Donald Trump is not behaving like a leader who expects democratic accountability for himself or his party next year or in 2028.

So lots of his low-info supporters said they voted for him because of the price of groceries. Now everything will be more expensive, there are no eggs, our systems are being dismantled, & an unelected billionaire has access to all our money. If you voted for him have the decency to be ashamed.

And I have more terrible news: once tariffs raise prices, most aren’t going to come back down without an act of Congress (lol). Even if the tariffs are cancelled. Yay capitalism!

Well, that’s terrifying.
