This is the kind of fascinating/unnerving capability I became aware of when I was doing research for the map your network activity in a leadership development product I was working on for HBP. (Un?)coincidentally, I got banned from LinkedIn while performing said networking research, mentioned here.
Today is the 30 year anniversary of the conviction of Medgar Evers’ assassin, a crime, the truth of which, the Trump Administration seeks to erase.
Full story in next post below

Alex Pretti wasn't killed by rhetoric, he was killed by two masked CBP agents shooting him 10 times in the back after they had disarmed and pepper sprayed him.
Rhetoric didn't kill Renee Good either, a thug from ICE did that with a gun as she tried to avoid hurting him.
The level of expertise gap between members of the Trump Regime and Democratic members of congress is deeper and wider than The Grand Canyon. Members like Congressman Sean Casten (D-IL) are priceless to The Democratic Caucus.
If you want to FINALLY watch Scott Bessent get pinned down on specifics about the illegal money laundering operation being conducted by the Trump admin from someone who knows WTF he’s talking about, this clip is your chance. Bessent gets destroyed.
The CIA just stopped publishing their World Factbook and took every page, including the archived copies of previous versions!
This sucks. It was public domain, so I recovered the 2020 edition (the last one published as a zip file) and shared it to GitHub simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/5/t...
In less than a week the Kennedy Center has effectively closed and our local DC paper has been gutted, both by billionaires.
I don’t think immigrants are our problem in this country.
The GOP blames women for undermining them on issues like abortion & ICE & thus hopes to pass the “SAVE Act,” which will make it harder for married women who changed their last names to vote. But they want you to think it’s about “election integrity”. 1/31/26 #HandmaidsTale 1/
Right now, in every city, there is someone trying to make sure the homeless have blankets, warm clothing, food and shelter. When MAGA gets you down on humanity think of those good people instead. There are people among us worth your admiration.
sneaking around the neighborhood at night, slapping stickers that say "I bought this after Elon begged to go to the wildest party at Pedophile Island" on every last Tesla I find
This is a beautiful and moving appeal for embracing migrants for both moral and pragmatic reasons from Spain's Prime Minister Sánchez. Worth the read. This is the way.
William Nordhaus received the Nobel Memorial Prize for these flawed economic models, and Bjorn Lomborg built a highly lucrative career on them.
They told rich and powerful people what they wanted to hear.
While helping to consign us all to catastrophe.

Imagine if four years into our war in Iraq we had only occupied 20 percent of it and lost 1.2 million men. Would anyone say the US is winning?
No? Then how in the hell can you say Russia is winning?!
I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.
Trump is the most pitiful piece of shit President our country has ever had. Worse than Harding, worse than Hoover, worse than Jackson and that is saying a lot.
Trump at National Prayer Breakfast: "They rigged the second election. I had to win it. I needed it for my own ego. I would've had a bad ego for the rest of my life. Now I really have a big ego. Beating these lunatics was incredible ... The first time they said I didn't win the popular vote. I did"
Tirando a proibição de redes sociais para menores de 16 (por aquilo que ela implica em termos de privacidade), Sanchez está certíssimo no diagnóstico que faz e no caminho que aponta, sem fingir que será fácil (não será). Haja alguém com lucidez na UE.
I don't think I have ever shared a generated video, but I will make an exception for this one. Appears to be based on a social media post, which is shared in the comments (but has no alt text).
Proud to play a role in helping get this together for @justsecurity.org. It provides you with details from the sworn declarations filed in support of the ACLU's lawsuit in Minnesota, Hussen v. Noem. The details of abuses by federal agents across the 29 declarations we looked at are chilling.
Millions of Ukrainians are sheltering at home in the cold and dark, under constant threat of missiles.
Four years on from Russia’s unprovoked attack, join a @columbiasipa.bsky.social discussion at 12pm ET about the war's ongoing humanitarian and geopolitical stakes.

It's bad here, folks.
"The Iberian Peninsula is at the forefront of climate change in Europe and has been experiencing, for several years, increasing heat waves and episodes of increasing and intense heavy rains. Storm Leonardo is the sixth of its kind since early 2026, in just over a month."

This report holds the similar information that I have read earlier from other eyewihitnesses.
Mariupol suffered a crime against humanity. russians destroyed the city by burning people alive with shells and burrying them under the rubble.

wow -- with Trump standing behind him, a man (not sure who he is) offers this prayer: "We pray that he would be mindful of the poor and that he would be invested in the alleviation of suffering happening in the families preparing to bury their loved ones in Minneapolis."
NEW: since last year, a pair of "highly trained" feds have been involved in an array of incidents attacking crowds with chemical weapons.
We used public records and open source analysis to identify Edgar Vazquez and Michael Sveum, alongside some other members of their tactical team.

and coming up next at the national prayer breakfast we have this golden calf that we’re all worshiping now, lets get those hands in the air for the golden calf everybody
This is insane. Under absolutely no circumstances should a prof ever discuss the physical appearance of a student in a rec letter! I can’t believe I even have to say that!
Yale prof David Gelernter defends his letter urging Epstein to hire "v small goodlooking blonde" student by saying that he was "keep[ing] the potential boss's habits in mind."
This creep shouldn't be allowed anywhere near students.

There are far too many of us who can only answer “I don’t know”, when there shouldn’t be even one person on US soil that is unsure they’d survive.
But this is where we are.
Context: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday.
It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Trump at the National Prayer Breakfast: "We hit 'em. And we want to hit 'em right, sir, and we want to hit them from the top! East, west, north, south. Sir, they won't know what the hell! And we'll knock them out. We did it politically correct. Five years."
Having literally written the book on the National Prayer Breakfast -- borne of the idea that God cares more for the rich and powerful than everyone else -- I can say this is the rare instance where Trump's grotesqueness is deeply appropriate.
Trump at National Prayer Breakfast: "They rigged the second election. I had to win it. I needed it for my own ego. I would've had a bad ego for the rest of my life. Now I really have a big ego. Beating these lunatics was incredible ... The first time they said I didn't win the popular vote. I did"
Sure, billionaires are monstrous amoral pedophiles who look at other human beings like disposable trash, but at least they contribute absolutely nothing of value to civilization and are actively contributing to the destruction of humanity
Damn you’re telling me the technology that was very obviously intended for unregulated speculation and criminal enterprises was used to do awful things
Counter offer:
Americans should have
- universal health care
- 5 weeks paid vacation annually
- 1 year paid maternity leave
- retire earlier to enjoy some healthy years.
Like all the Europeans ‼️🇪🇺
