Credit to @awfulannouncing.bsky.social for IDing and perfectly executing the assignment. I don't remember ever seeing a kicker so subtly call back to the hed in a way that somehow both sneaks a middle finger at the story subject and takes the high road? Bravo and more please

NEW: Federal judges are increasingly furious at what they see as a pattern / playbook of defiance by the Trump administration to court orders in immigration cases — in Minnesota and around the country.

Here’s a look at what they’re seeing: www.politico.com/news/2026/02...
How the Trump administration skirts — and defies — court rulings on ICE detentions
A POLITICO review of hundreds of cases brought by ICE detainees shows a pattern of noncompliance that has frustrated judges across the country.

Well that would be something. A millisecond pulsar orbiting the black hole at the center of our galaxy would enable incredibly precise measurements of the gravitational field in that extreme environment. Let’s hope it checks out.

Joe Rogan and guest/handler Mike Benz oozing ick out of every pore:

The girls at Epstein's parties weren't so much underage, but more "barely legal, so to speak", and "we have to remember "many of the clients are from countries that don't necessarily have the same norms...girls juice deals!"

Every post in this thread. Monoculture weakens. Monoculture blinds. Monoculture kills.
🧵 on the ignorance on display. 1) Starting w/diversity. The US military should broadly look like the US as that keeps the military tethered to American society. If it's all just a bunch of door kicking rural white Christian dudes that's bad. It's bad for the military & it's bad for American. 1/

Amongst other things, this again highlights the core point about due process. It’s bad enough to be in a “show me your papers” situation, but your precious citizen/non-citizen, “legal”/“illegal” distinctions are meaningless when you can’t prove anything to authorities because they don’t give a shit.

Martin, an 18-year-old citizen and soccer player, traveled with his Madison-area team to Minneapolis for a Futsal tournament (which my kid's team was going to play in, then opted out). While there, ICE stopped Martin and took his mom, who has been detained since.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

This is evil
Metry and her husband of 4 years go to DHS to get their I-130 in motion. "Good news" a DHS employee told them, the form to start her naturalization was approved.

DHS employee asks the husband to follow him through a secure door. When it locks behind him, ICE detains his wife to deport her.
EXCLUSIVE: Terez Metry was 13 when her family fled to Tennessee from Egypt in 2011. Then, they left her behind. She only recently discovered she had an order of removal from 2011. But she was following the legal path to citizenship. On Monday, at a routine DHS meeting, Metry was detained.

I’ve been doing some reflecting this morning on the danger of expectations, so I read @jacsonbevens.bsky.social’s post Patriots Super Bowl write up to help sober me momentarily before the drunken stupor of excitement that will be this weekend. And gdi if I didn’t find the perfect sobering passage:

Imagine how adorable you would look at a trial if you were caught writing sweet letters to your newborn. Then I guess try to imagine wtf Sam Altman wrote to his baby that made his legal team persuade him to cease and desist the baby letters.
On fatherhood, Altman said he used to write letters to his baby son, telling him about his challenges at work, so he could read them when he’s older. But Altman stopped after realizing they could be discoverable in a lawsuit.

I also thought this bit was particularly interesting:
