Once again, a reminder that the "free speech" crusaders were always cynics operating in bad faith
New story up on the Homeland Security Department’s new tactic: flood social media companies with subpoenas to unmask anonymous accounts that criticize ICE or monitor the movements of ICE agents.

I think I've woken up to them outside the house twice now? I'm okay with it - time wasted trying to scare me is time spent not kidnapping a vulnerable neighbor.

Anyway if you go out at fuckass o'clock with your phone in one hand and a whistle ready in the other, they see you and leave lol.

San Diego rents fall 5.5%—proof that building housing works.

Add 6,000 apartments, prices drop.

This eases pressure on voucher programs, helps low-income renters, makes the city more accessible.

Want sustained affordability? Keep building.

For the first time since Jan. 5, there were no ICE flights out of Minneapolis Friday, probably because of this ruling.

Got to have an impromptu celebration IRL tonight with @ottergoose.net and @jjindc.bsky.social🙏.
Incredibly powerful opinion chronicling the awfulness in Whipple and the ways it interfered with the right to counsel.

One key part of the ruling (that ICE will likely appeal ASAP); Judge Brasel bars ICE from transferring anyone out of Minnesota within 72 hours of arrest.

i'm older than the DHS and have never seen it do anything good for The Average American (whatever that means) in my entire life. i have seen it be a big racism lever that every administration loves to pull like that dril tweet tho
DHS is just a relic from the overreaction to 9/11 and all the opportunistic skullduggery that took advantage of it. There was never any need for it. Let it be dead. Its abrupt dissolution will be a bit chaotic but fuck it we ball.

To give you an idea of how deranged the UK has become about gender stuff, here's Enid Blyton - the absolute avatar of classic English conservatism and a huge fan of racist "gollywogs" - casually describing a gender non-conforming kid in the 1940s and having their friends be totally cool with it.

Yeah, hi, I’m a person with “mobility challenges” (excuse me while I hurl). What we want, by and large, are not expensive, heavy devices that will “help us walk again”, but ramps.

I know, it’s not sexy, as technology invented before Christ, but it is overlooked in favor of…this. Repeatedly.

He clumsily read his speech from the page without hardly looking up and told everyone in the room to follow the US's lead or suck it. He accused Europe of managed decline by not being racist enough, and if it doesn't fall in line then America won't be there for it. Not sure how reassuring that is.

For those of you who grew up after 9/11, we got along just fine without a Department of Homeland Security for 212 years.

The DHS was formed to try to prevent future terror attacks — now, it is orchestrating them.
Never reactivate it.

Hey remember the shooting in Minneapolis that happened between Renee Good and Alexi Pretti, the guy they claimed was shot by an agent after he had attacked that agent with a shovel? I know it's hard to believe but the agents' story fell apart and charges were dropped. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/u...
