On the set of 2014's The Judge, a woman in the small Massachusetts town were they were filming had terminal brain cancer. She loved Robert Duvall. She asked if she could visit the set. Just to see him at a distance. This is what happened ... 💃 www.esquire.com/entertainmen...

Robert Duvall Was Fearsome and Tender. He'll Stay a Legend Forever.
The loss of 'The Godfather,' 'Apocalypse Now,' and 'Tender Mercies' star is incalculable.

as someone who worked in rural health policy, this is not a real thing. this is actually called giving up on rural america after your party broke everything and can’t put it back together. perfect time to exploit people with scams

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept." Astonishing thing for a judge to do.
Philadelphia, September 17, 1787: "Well, Dr. Franklin, what do we have?" "A republic, if you
can keep it."
With a judicial finger in the constitutional dike,
It is so ORDERED.
SIGNED this 31st day of February, 2026.

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Every social theory undergirding Trumpism has been broken on the steel of Minnesotan resolve. The multiracial community in Minneapolis was supposed to shatter. It did not. It held until Bovino was forced out of the Twin Cities with his long coat between his legs.

The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive—because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about “Western civilization,” while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

It took someone being shot in cold blood, in broad daylight AND being filmed by multiple POVs. AND he was white. AND he had a clean record. AND he was a nurse. AND he had a permit. It took all of that to teeter the totter. That's a tall fuckin' order to get GOP to blink.

This is the best speech, just from a pure rhetoric perspective - its sophistication and persuasiveness - that I've seen a politician deliver in a good long while. Really recommend watching or reading the whole thing.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

Miller’s miscalculation - the logic of a privileged and sheltered brat - is that violence would pull white folks away from black and brown folks, when in fact it’s done the opposite. And now America’s other cities also know how to face him.

Congress should pass a law requiring agents to show their faces, identify themselves, & wear their badges. It’s not agent safety we have to worry about these days. End so-called Kavanaugh stops & admin warrant-based forced entry into homes too. Let’s have a Constitution.

I love these countries with, tops, 50 million adults getting mad at us for not everyone being on the street protesting. We have roughly 270 million adults and a third of them are idiots. YOU try and get them in the street. Herding cats, man. youtu.be/daeqb6f7GrY?...

Hot take: having an incoherent septuagenarian scream-lecture America like a man arguing with a self-checkout machine that keeps yelling “unexpected item in the bagging area” might not actually be the emotional support animal we need right now.

Inconvenient? Yep. Unpredictable? Sure. Disruptive? Yes. But a snow day is also a minor civic miracle, and we ought to treat it as such.

Trump never had a fan base. He had an army of bots who sold his racism and misogyny and xenophobia to uneducated Americans who took voting advice from bald eagle profiles posting Tweets from Eastern Europe. It’s as stupid as it sounds.
