"The past was alterable. The past never had been altered. Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia."

'What just happened is entirely consistent with the spheres-of-influence approach that Putin has long advocated, and that Trump embraced in the latest National Security Strategy. The emerging order is one in which Putin, Xi, and Trump each get to do whatever they want in their respective zones'

Jan 1. Jan 3.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Tulsi Gabbard in 2019: "The United States needs to keep our hands off Venezuela... end these destructive and wasteful regime change wars... proven to cause more problems, increase suffering, increase instability for the people in the countries where we wage these wars. In Latin America especially".

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

This article about Trump policy toward Russia and Ukraine is exceptional but I just want to focus on what a vacuous tool Pete Hegseth is: Example 1 - he refused to meet with his predecessor: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

like 75% of dem messaging right now should be “the party led by epsteins best friend is breaking into pre-k childcare centers so they can record your toddlers and put the videos on internet”

Pardoned by Trump. After the pardon, arrested for Sexual Assault and Kidnapping.

Beyond @atrupar.com’s on point description of this (and every other) unhinged, nakedly racist and fascist post from Trump, it is important to note that the regime has been intensifying attacks on opposition members of Congress. And I think that is actually a calculated strategy for what comes next.

Poliittinen talous -lehden vuoden 2025 toinen numero on koottu! Pääkirjoituksessaan päätoimittajat VTT Konsta Kotilainen @konstaamos.bsky.social ja dos. Markus Ojala @mojala.bsky.social avaat monikriisiä poliittisen talouden tutkimuksen näkökulmasta. 1/6

Joku oli löytänyt nykyaikanakin kurantin kuvan. Historia toistaa itseään.

Until proven otherwise, it is reasonable to assume that any non-victim redacted name in the Epstein files is Donald Trump.

Sixers vs Knicks box at the half.

Trump's "Epstein files" "release" has the same energy as when he stood next to folders of blank paper and said it was his "business divestiture" plan

PAINFUL to watch. There’s a clear Trump judicial nominee loyalty test. They must forever deny, deny, deny that he lost the 2020 presidential election. Fragile.

WH added text to the pictures hanging on the wall… to sum it up: it is deranged.

LUHAN: Is the FCC an independent agency? CARR: I think th--- L: Yes or no C: There's a test for this in the la--- L: It's yes or no, Brendan! On your website, it simply says, man, 'the FCC is independent.' This isn't a trick question C: The FCC is not L: So is your website lying? C: Possibly

Jälleen kerran iso media julkaisee jutun, jossa tehdään avoimuusrekisterin perusteella johtopäätöksiä, joita avoimuusrekisteristä ei voi tehdä. Moni toimittaja ei vaan vieläkään ymmärrä miten rekisteri toimii. www.hs.fi/alueet/art-2...

Still in a state of shock trying to process the tragic loss of one of the most gifted men in the entertainment industry & his wife when the Embarrassment-in-Chief disgraces common human decency with this repulsive, deranged statement. #NoWords 🤮

GLASHEEN: Antifa is our primary concern right now. That's the most immediate violent threat we're facing BENNIE THOMPSON: Where is antifa headquartered? GLASHEEN: ... ... ... we are building out the infrastructure right now THOMPSON: What does that mean?

Hyvä ketju! Ja osoitus siitä miten veroasteiden vertailu johtaa meidät usein harhaan, jos ei ole selvää mitä ollaan oikeasti vertailemassa.

DOJ has sued Maine, Oregon, California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Washington, Delaware, Maryland, New Mexico, Rhode Island, and Vermont for access to its most sensitive voter data. My firm has moved to intervene in 10 of those cases. We are working on the last 4.

Siis oikeastihan meidän pitäisi olla pöyristyneitä toimeentulotuen leikkauksista, eikä jostain lapsellisesta silmien venyttelystä, mutta näin tämä julkisuus taas menee.

Kirjoitin @poliittinentalous.bsky.social -lehteen arvion mainiosta @vpsorsa.bsky.social @alajanantti.bsky.social ja Joel Kaitilan kirjasta "Ideat yhteiskuntapolitiikassa". Lukusuositus politiikan tutkijoille ja muillekin teemasta kiinnostuneille!

Edelleen, hemmetin hyvä uudistus! Mitä enemmän aikaa kuluu, sitä paremmalta näyttää.

"Ihmisarvoinen elämä on enemmän kuin pelkkää hengissä pysymistä. Uudistuksen myötä toimeentulotuen perusosa voidaan tietyissä tilanteissa puolittaa, mikä jättää ihmisen selviytymään noin 9,5 eurolla päivässä.", kirjoittaa @sanni-mantyniemi.bsky.social www.hs.fi/mielipide/ar...

This article opens with a 3-year-old forced to represent herself in court. We live in a fundamentally sick country.

Literally all this dude wants is for people to give him endless stupid awards and tell him how good and brilliant he is, doesn’t matter who, doesn’t matter if the awards are fake. Just gold stuff for the very special boy while he wrecks the world

And once again the power of the US government will be used to represent a private company owned by the single largest donor to Trump campaign to leverage foreign governments.

In lieu of affordable universal health insurance, Texans will now be given better access to de-worming medication.

Netherlands and Spain taking a stand after Israel allowed to compete in Eurovision.

it is MIRACULOUS that we got rid of lead paint and asbestos when we did. if we had tried that today, there would be people whining about how we're restricting their rights.

They're calling it the best midterm messaging of all time

So they went from it didn't happen, to it happened but it was someone else but it was legal to the "fog of war" prevented us from knowing there were survivors when we did conducted another strike on the wreckage.

Yrittäjien eläkevakuutuksessa ei vakuuteta todellisia ansioita vaan työpanoksen arvoa. Niinpä kolmella neljäsosalla YEL-työtulo on ansiotuloja pienempi, eikä yrittäjäeläkkeitä ole voitu rahastoida. Valtio maksaa yrittäjäeläkkeistä ensi vuonna 593 miljoonaa euroa. www.hs.fi/politiikka/a...

A report reveals the DOJ—after frantically realizing the files would be released—has been paying FBI agents nearly $1M in overtime to work on the “Epstein Transparency Project." Ostensibly aimed at protecting victims' privacy, the project could also prevent exposing Trump. trib.al/xWOhQsA

Extraordinary WSJ reporting today that unveils the extent to which Trump, Witkoff, Kushner and US business executives are salivating over business deals with Russia while Putin’s forces kidnap Ukranian children and bomb civilians in their apartments. 🎁 www.wsj.com/world/russia...

America’s civic institutions have to address the full monstrosity of this. So too do democratic governments elsewhere in the world. It’s not happening. It’s being allowed to pass - so as not to rock the boat. Rock the boat, guys, rock it hard, rock it now.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing. And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

In honour of its proponents, I suggest that the Dmitriev-Witkoff proposal should henceforth be called the Dim-Wit Plan

Kokosin tilastoja esitystä varten. Materiaalinen ja sosiaalinen deprivaatio tarkoittaa, että kotitaloudella ei ole varaa vähintään viiteen kolmestatoista perustarpeesta. Suomessa tämä mittari on noussut voimakkaasti erityisesti työttömien keskuudessa. ec.europa.eu/eurostat/dat...

Trump didn’t read before posting: “OUR AMERICAN CODE OF MILITARY OBEDIENCE REQUIRES THAT, SHOULD ORDERS AND THE LAW EVER CONFLICT, OUR OFFICERS MUST OBEY THE LAW.”
