J'ai ri fort! 😂😂😂

It’s time to face facts. We’re already in the Second American Civil War and we’ve been in it for years now. Continuing to pretend otherwise is only going to lead to more death and suffering. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/the-war-is...

Two things need to happen to save democracy: RW control of military/police has to end RW control of media has to end Neither is gonna happen if we just ask nicely

Breaking NYT: The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter. The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status. That is a war crime called "perfidy."

I know that it's hard to keep track of all the ways Trump violates the law. In Connecticut, he illegally cancelled an offshore wind project that is 80% built, citing imaginary "national security justifications" that they refuse to brief us on because...THEY DON'T EXIST.

Yes. Connect those dots!

"Argentina's done it. Russia's done it. Turkey's done it. Venezuela's done it. And Zimbabwe's done it. It's a thing that tin pot dictators do... right before starting a hyperinflation and destroying their own economies."

Trump's thugs are going hog wild and tossing gas around in one of the busiest commercial districts in Minneapolis, just a mile or so from where I live. Complete insanity. (vid via Ford Fischer on X)

Oh boy

Americans - get out of Iran now. Don’t expect government help.

🎯👇 I hate how true this is!

Of course he did. It's a white supremacist government. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/11/u...

Trump doesn’t care. Powell made him look like the fool he is so he wants revenge.

Senators are worried

We’re not a serious country.

Grok thinks the U.S. Department of Labor sounds a bit Nazi www.yahoo.com/news/article...

The biggest failure in the US during these difficult times is actually the Democratic party. Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jefferies have absolutely and utterly failed. In 2022, 2023 and 2024 even though Trump was not in power he owned the airwaves every single day. SCHUMER AND JEFFERIES ARE MIA.

Why would he need to? Mike Johnson, Thune and every elected republican have abdicated their responsibilities to him willingly!

This explains that.

A lot of folks, experts, said this would happen. Now it’s happening. No wonder no American oil company in its right mind wants to operate there! He did all this for nothing!

I also must say that it's a bit rich that Trump and his DOJ think it's a good idea to gin up a bullshit investigation about supposed illegalities in ... {checks notes} … renovating a federal building

For those who don't follow the Fed closely, this is a sick burn and basically the meanest thing they would ever say while still using their hard-to-parse Fed-ese language

‘Take the deal!’ -Trump, to Cuba. ‘There are no negotiations therefore no deal to take !’ -Cuba ‘He lied again!’ -The rest of us

What an amazing survival (from the Sint Janskerk in Gouda).

I am trying to take a deep breath & calm my anger after reading this article about what the Conservatives want to destroy in Canada, & wow, they are horrible, disgusting, awful people. #TriggerWarning Conservatives to debate policies including abortion, DEI & MAID 🤬 www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

With all this talk of how to end Russias war against Ukraine, and a cease fire, keep this in mind: If Ukraine ceases firing, Ukraine will cease to exist. If Russia ceases firing. the war will cease to exist. Pretty clear

Mais pourquoi donc??? Question sérieuse. Les JO et son CIO corrompu à la moelle peuvent bien aller se faire foutre avec leurs exigences sans fin et leurs demandes de pots-de-vin! Les pays se mettent dans la dèche pour ces jeux! 🤬

Un de mes ami….appelons le Louis Gab vient de pondre ceci. Je le trouvais trop fucking nice pour ne pas vous le partager👀👀🖤🖤🖤

Your morning giggle 🫢😂

😬🥺🤦‍♀️

WARNER: It used to take 5 to 6 months to get trained. They've now lowered the training period to 47 days. Why 47 days? Because Donald Trump's the 47th president. Tell me that's a rational approach KERNEN: I'm not taking that bait WARNER: Joe! You can't pick your facts

A felon who married an immigrant is telling a lot of y’all that the problems in this country all stem from felons and immigrants. But keep buying that stupid red hat that’s made in China.

Four ICE vehicles with matching counterfeit license plates were seen departing Terminal Island in Los Angeles today.

In Turkey, analysts and experts were sounding the alarm from roughly 2013 about the economy and political pressure on the Central Bank. The economic crisis didn't fully arrive until 2018, after Erdoğan had consolidated power. These mechanisms are not self-defending

Sorry but I need to fact check this. Community Note: Donald Trump has always looked like an idiot. Both literally and figuratively.

Peter Navarro: "Spare me this 'Fed independence' stuff"

INBOX: Former Special Counsel Jack Smith launches his own law firm alongside former Jan. 6 Committee counsel Tim Heaphy and DOJ alum David Harbach and Thomas Windom.

This will go over real big in Venezuela where tensions barely exist at the moment, right?

Who knew 2026 could be this much worse than 2025 this fast?

Q: "Is the administration in contact with Iranian opposition leaders?" Trump: "Ya." Q: "What's the message to them?" Trump: "You're going to find out pretty soon."

🤡

Nikki Glaser calls out CBS News at the Golden Globes while it’s being broadcast on CBS. “And the award for Most Editing goes to CBS News. Yes, CBS News, America’s newest place to see B.S. News.”

Q: "Have any oil companies made commitments to you?" Trump: "A lot of them, ya." Q: "Has Exxon?" Trump: "No. I didn't like Exxon's response. We have so many that want it, I'd probably be inclined to keep Exxon out…They're playing too cute."

Trump on Greenland: "If it effects NATO, it effects NATO. But they need us much more than we need them…We're talking about acquiring [Greenland] — not leasing, not having it short-term. We're talking about acquiring."

Digging deeper: "The US has added only 525k jobs over the last year, the slowest pace of job growth since 2020 & a number less than 1/3 of any period in the late 2010s." In 2025: 3.9m new hs graduates 2m per yr graduating coll Doing the math: Almost 6m people looking for jobs Only 525k new jobs 🤷‍♂️

Bend the knee or die.

Rep. Casten has it absolutely correct: Trump is *both* weaker *and* more dangerous than ever. Buckle up, but don't be afraid. Because fear is how he wins.
