Small Flowers Crack Concrete

This is a private, for-profit event, for a company the President personally has bought stock in.

I quite like this kind of moxie.

Remember when Bill Clinton spoke to his AG for a few seconds privately, on the tarmac, and the US media, following the instructions of bad-faith wingnuts, made a huge multi-week scandal out of it?

This is some next-level swiftboating

They literally dragged a minor employee out of a Target as he was wailing that he was a US citizen, roughed him up in their car, and then dropped him off bloodied and bruised in the freezing cold a couple of miles away, so miss us with this.

Again it’s important to remember the context of these chats is that a woman was shot five times in her car as she was attempting to donate clothes at a church.

HOOOOOO boy. Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-N.J.): "Do you consider yourself a religious man?" Lyons: "Yes ma'am." McIver: "How do you think Judgement Day will work for you with so much blood on your hands?" "Do you think you're going to hell, Mr. Lyons?"

It's not even midnight and we're already at "Deport Elmo."

Unidos somos América.

That halftime show is what people mean when they say "joy is an act of resistance."

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

That was fucking fantastic

Goddamn, that was a great halftime show. Take a bow, Bad Bunny. 10/10. 🇵🇷🇺🇸

God bless America.

Bad Bunny: God bless America, *all* the Americas. Damn that is going to make MAGA maaaaaaaddddddd.

So how is Trump going to turn Bad Bunny saying “god bless America” into a bad thing? Killer show. Bad Bunny knows how to throw a party and get eeeeeeeeveryone dancing!

Striking from Marquette poll: Majorities of non-college grads and even 50% of rural Americans disapprove of ICE handling of enforcement. Majorities of both oppose deporting longtime residents with jobs/no criminal records. That's data given to me. 2/ newrepublic.com/article/2062...

"It's OK to Be White" has been a slogan for literal Nazis for some time now, if you want to know where the Republican Party is at the moment

Ossoff: "You're seeing what I'm seeing, right? The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."

Imagine a CEO posting that racist video on their personal account, their chief spokesperson defending it and keeping it up for 12 hours, then blaming a “staffer” for “erroneously” posting it… and neither the CEO nor the spokesperson having to resign.

Every American needs to watch this:

New Quinnipiac poll: 63% of voters disapprove of ICE 60% want ICE out of Minneapolis 58% want Kristi Noem removed from office

Really nuts how many men were like "Me Too went too far, and I need to email Jeffrey Epstein about it."

Not The Onion (but excellent satire nonetheless)

"We know enough." Watch this.

The idea of buying commercial warehouses and converting them into detention camps is so viscerally chilling to people that it's being opposed even in places which might otherwise support new prisons.

Breaking News: Tom Homan, President Trump’s border czar, said he would pull 700 immigration agents out of Minneapolis.

These people are terrorists. Full stop.

The story isn’t necessarily that Democrat Taylor Rehmet won a Texas election in a district Trump won by 17 points Or that Rehmet was outspent 20-to-1 Or even that his opponent was backed by Trump and Greg Abbott It’s that 57% of the voters were REPUBLICANS And Rehmet STILL WON by 12 points

Trump: “Noah, a total loser, better get his facts straight. It looks like I’ll be sending my lawyers to sue this poor, pathetic, talentless, dope and suing him for plenty$. Ask Little George Slopadopolus how that all worked out. Also ask CBS! Get ready Noah, I’m going to have some fun with you!”

PORTLAND MAYOR WILSON: “.. To those who continue to work for ICE: Resign. To those who control this facility: Leave. … you have lost all legitimacy and replaced it with shame.” @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

Troublemaker is my middle name.

A note from our editors:

Bari Weiss darling CBS's Peter Attia skipped out on visiting his baby son in the ICU so he could meet with Jeffrey Epstein. How many times are we going to discover something about someone in conservative circles and think, "That would never make it out of a writers' room. It's too over-the-top."

a woman reached out to donate 500,000 delta skymiles to get people home to MN as they are released from custody in TX. we're getting flights booked today. it should be enough to get at least 15 people home. delta should be doing for free since they take ICE money.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

Bend showed up in a big way today to say: ICE OUT #iceout

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

This incident alone would have triggered hearings and probably a senior-level resignation in another administration.

A federal judge ordered the release of a 5-year-old boy and his father from immigration custody, condemning their detention as unconstitutional. In a blistering opinion, he denounced “the perfidious lust for unbridled power” and “the imposition of cruelty.” (NYT)

Recall that Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered not long ago by a fake cop who showed up at their door looking like this guy

"MPR News has learned that the police chief in the small southern Minnesota city of St. Peter intervened Thursday afternoon to prevent federal immigration agents from arresting a local resident" who had been observing federal agents. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

It’s easy to forget since he’s still a high public official but Homan straight up took $50,000 in cash from undercover agents on camera and then nothing happened
