Tätäkin toistellaan: että työvoimaosuus (työlliset + työttömät / työikäinen väestö) on noussut hallituksen kannustintoimien seurauksena. Että työttömyyden nousu on vain oire tästä muutoin hyvästä kehityksestä. Ainoa ongelma on se, että väite ei näytä pitävän paikkaansa. #talous #politiikka

Trump: "You can't have guns. You can't walk in with guns. You just can't. You can't walk in with guns."

Kash Patel this Sunday: “You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines, to any sort of protest that you want."

New in PN: The regime's mind-bending lies are a tactic "The VP told them they could kill anyone who annoyed them. Pretti annoyed them. So they killed him. Now the lies Bovino and Noem are telling about Pretti’s death are intended to encourage further extrajudicial executions and likely will do so."

The political press very clearly understands “truth” as a social agreement, a compromise position between everyone important enough to have an opinion. It did not reflect on how this would allow dedicated liars to go all-in on lies again and again and dramatically shift the position.

I spent the most formative years of my political life reading headlines like this seemingly every week.

Bessent: I'm sorry he is dead, but he did bring a semiautomatic weapon to what was supposed to be a peaceful protest. Karl: There's no evidence that he brandished the gun whatsoever Bessent: But he brought a gun! Karl: We do have a second amendment in this country.

This is all I want to see Democrats doing from now on.

Jatkuva ilmiselvistä asioista valehtelu ja väkivallan käyttäminen rauhallisiin mielenosoittajiin tukevat tätä teoriaa. Tarkoitus on vain lisätä kaaosta.

Trump needs to go. He needs to be impeached and removed. Now.

Murphy on Bovino: "That was a bone-chilling interview. I was shaking while I was listening to it, in large part bc it takes just an unbelievable amount of gall to lie to the American public. Everybody saw that video ... it should freak the public out that the Trump administration lies this easily"

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

”The randomness is the difference between a regime based on terror and a regime that is plainly repressive. (..) A regime based on terror, on the other hand, deploys violence precisely to reinforce the message that anyone can be subjected to it.”

Ketä se palvelee, että HS toistaa kritiikittä tällaista humpuukia? ICEn kohteena on ollut yhtä lailla laillisesti maassa oleskelevia sekä USAn kansalaisia. Ja hallinnon kertomuksen eilisestä ampumisesta voi kuka tahansa todeta valheeksi yhden videon katsomalla. www.hs.fi/suomi/art-20...

OTD in 1935 Hitler assured Poland he would not invade them. A few years later he said Germans were being oppressed & killed so he attacked, carried out genocide and spent the last years of his life in bunker detached from reality. Imagine all that happening today.

There is simply no world in which this clothing choice is a coincidence.

Absolutely reprehensible that AG Bondi is offering ICE stand down in exchange for access to voting rolls. Outrageous and disgusting. It shows ICE is in Minneapolis is not for law enforcement purposes. Instead it’s a way to stir up shit in blue states and extort them.

An insane, perfect encapsulation of it all: The same day Trump’s agents kill a Veterans Affairs ICU nurse in broad daylight, the CEOs of Apple and Amazon join Trump to watch a private screening of a film about his wife directed by an alleged sexual abuser who was seen shirtless in the Epstein Files

Kun mediassa kiertää väkivaltaisia videoja kasvonsa peittävistä amerikkalaisista gestapojoukoista, joiden luotiliiveissä lukee ”police ice”, tällainen mainos poliisivalmennuksesta Suomessa ei vaikuta kovin fiksulta vedolta. Ellei haluta houkutella samanlaisia väkivaltaisia äärioikeistolaisia hulluja

Witnesses transported to where ICE is detaining people? Where is the woman in the pink coat who was recording the scene? Where is her footage? More importantly is she okay?

Reminder: DHS legislation that funds ICE at current levels without policy restrictions is in the Senate and needs 60 votes to pass. Deadline is next Friday.

Imagine going back 15 years and telling Republicans this: One day, you will cheer federal agents for killing people who were carrying firearms while exercising their Second Amendment rights.

It has gotten so bad that the @nytimes.com has stopped using the passive voice to describe the violence.

The video is available in the replies to Aaron's post. It is a public execution. It's the latest ICE murder. It must mean the end of ICE. If not - that will be the end of America.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

Trump’s back to threatening 100% tariffs on Canada this morning, wow I can’t imagine why the Canadians now see the Chinese as a more reliable trade partner

They lived, worked, served—and hundreds of them gave their lives—side by side with American troops. Anyone who served in Afghanistan knows how much this mattered, and we will never forget.

Sounds like another extremely bad situation in Minneapolis this morning.

Cannot see the end of it.

It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing

It appears that the White House edited this image using AI

Trump’s Board of Peace logo is basically the UN logo, except dipped in gold and edited so the world only includes America.

school being canceled because the president sent armed thugs to harass and imprison the populace for voting against him should be the biggest domestic scandal in american history

The Incredibly Weak & Always Pathetic Republican Congress. bsky.app/profile/atru...

The "strategy" depends upon other countries smiling and giving him what he wants.

Canada's Prime Minister Carney: “The future of Greenland is a decision for Greenland and for the kingdom of Denmark. We are NATO partners with Denmark and so our full partnership stands. Our obligations on Article 5, an Article 2 of NATO stand and we stand fully squared behind those.”

Trump claimed that Russia would never have invaded Ukraine while he was president because Putin respects him too much, but now he's claiming that the US must have Greenland or Putin will invade it.

Fukuyama: Trump is a bully who wants to dominate everyone around him. Trying to placate him with concessions is a fool’s errand. He despises weakness. As an American, I say to my European friends: do not back down. Appeasing Trump with flattery has failed and must stop. 1/3

🇵🇱💯💯💯

If Greenland were so important for national security, the US wouldn’t have shut down all but one of its bases there. Trump is in his second term and hasn’t done anything about it. He just wants to own it, but lies about the reasons

A very embarrassing day for the world

Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-year-old U.S. citizen, was put in a chokehold by ICE agents. Agents took his phone, which he tracked to a used electronics vending machine near an ICE detention center. Yes: ICE is stealing and selling people’s things after brutalizing them. There are no words.

Great Economist chart. American politicians are the oldest in the rich world economist.com/graphic-deta... from The Economist

Who are the “two US officials” and why would CBS give them anonymity when they are just putting something out there that DHS and ICE obviously wants put out. Who are these “US officials” and why are they granted anonymity???

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you." The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?" "Learned what?" she asks Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

But Mr. President you did start shooting protestors too.

Seen some people suggesting the new shooting video is AI because you can see a dinosaur in the background at one point. But, uh, there’s just a dinosaur on a car on that street. Here’s Google Street View. maps.app.goo.gl/fmgYaLWrwxx3...
