NEW: I tracked all Chinese lithium battery factories announced or built in the past decade 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 China's borders. The truth is, companies like CATL & BYD are so technologically advanced that there's little international competition. European and Asian countries are welcoming them with open arms.

PBS News Hour did an 8-minute segment tonight w/ multiple guests on Trump's efforts to fire Fed governor Lisa Cook, and nobody would go near the elephant in the room. Until the segment's outro graphic. This is known as burying the lede.

George Galloway supports Iran amidst the murder of protestors. GG: "My position is unequivocal. I stand with Iran. Against Israel, against the United States, against Britain. And I will stand with them until the end. And so should you, and so should everybody watching this now."

it remains a very serious open question for me as to why Gaetz was never charged with crimes in Florida, and the most likely answer is the Republican State Government protecting its own.

It’s so interesting that the comet pizza-Q-Anon folks have disappeared just as their deeply held concerns about a widespread elite child trafficking conspiracy has been proven correct

They don’t make movies like this anymore. Movies not afraid to speak movie and it’s the first time you’ve seen it but you already know all the characters. The wisecracking older friend. The drunk with a heart of gold. The rogue she doesn’t want. Her protective best friend

Please help us bring Liam Adrian Cornejo Ramos (he’s only 5 years of age and is currently in pre-K. Yesterday, he and his father were kidnapped by ICE. This will help the family with legal services to help reunite Liam and his dad with their family. gofund.me/be8a1b2ab

Fascism inherently relies on a foundation of constant, deliberate lies to function, serving as a tool to distort reality, attack truth, and maintain power and control.

The thing about America today is that if you just describe what is happening objectively and unemotionally you sound hysterical and partisan and what you have to remind people is that the reason for that is not you, it's the people doing the things you are describing

This boy kidnapping and separation from his family is so upsetting and infuriating.

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

You don't know a person, but you know something about one broad category regarding them. You make an assumption about that person's abilities based wholly on your impression of that single characteristic. If we are talking about anyone other than an old person, the problem is immediately clear.

I don't even like to look at federal news anymore because there's so much of this: yet another SpaceX guy — so in other words a DOGE guy under Musk's control — getting appointed at the taproot of federal bureaucracy. And no one really notices.

if you can afford to spend 30 seconds chatting and trying to look nonchalant as you fumble with a gas canister, perhaps you are not in a scenario where chemical weapons are warranted

this little man struggles to deploy the canister for 30 seconds and then throws it directly upwind

I wear my this around my neck almost every day, and people always think I’m overreacting, until they don’t.

Global shipping mapped across an entire year: www.shipmap.org The view with routes traced is spectacular.

The Dual State: A Contribution to the Theory of Dictatorship was written in 1941 by Ernst Fraenkel in German its called Der Doppelstaat. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson cited it in a dissent on Trump v. CASA, Inc., the birthright citizenship lower court injunction case. Everyone should read this.

This is a good example to show what Fraenkel’s Dual State means.

This five year old child, for example, lives in the prerogative state, and does not have the option of hockey games on chilly MN evenings.

So in the last two weeks the 2 most visible progressive “vote for me bc my opponent is too old and lacks energy and can’t handle the rigors of Congress” have suspended their campaign to go to Norway for IVF and missed an event due to nap time?

Disability comes for us all sooner or later, which is why you shouldn't make explicitly bigoted and ageist views a centerpiece of your congressional campaign.

“Let’s not get our knickers in a twist” is the kind of sick dismissal that allowed Epstein to abuse & rape young girls and women for years. This is about justice for the survivors of Epstein’s sex trafficking ring. We will not brush this off. #ReleaseTheFiles

“Greenland has long been targeted by technofascists such as Elon Musk and Peter Thiel and their political proxies and operators (J.D. Vance) as an ideal laboratory for the network state:”

Hell of a way to drive home that the cops can't be counted on & are completely useless.

Not looking forward to the endless “experts”ignorant takes saying that he won’t do this and its all bluster.

Emboldened by the U.S. ouster of a Venezuelan strongman, the Trump administration is seeking Cuban government insiders who can help cut a deal to push out the Communist regime by year's end.

Trafficking the boy after using him as bait, pinning someone in the snow to spray into their mask, shooting Marimar Martinez, murdering Renee Good—Bovino and Miller are asserting the right to harm anyone they want. The only acceptable response is to make sure they can no longer harm anyone at all.

I think my bluesky feed is tuned accurately

are they not monsters?

If they posted up with vans to take detainees away...back to freedom, how long before anyone realized tranches of people were not making it to a detention center? Could be never.

The raid operations are such kluged-together affairs of multiple agencies, it would be nothing to infiltrate and cause problems.

I'm waiting for the saboteur impersonators to arrive.

Our reporting has found that ICE sent 600 immigrant kids to detention in federal shelters in 2025. A 17-year-old was detained at a traffic stop because officers couldn’t make contact with his dad, who is deaf. Another kid ended up in a shelter after making a wrong turn:

No Justice in this world, none.

You know in another country, the state department would call this enforced disappearances a crime against humanity.

A Minnesota high school student was nabbed by ICE agents as she was trying to pick up food for her family after work. She was violently dragged from her car and lost her shoes. So, barefoot in the middle of winter, she was put into the back of an unmarked car in a small town (Willmar).

Met with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in Davos earlier today. We talked about the tests NATO is facing, and Canada’s resolute support for the Alliance. We’re quadrupling our defence spending — including scaling up our investments in Arctic security to defend the northwestern flank.

BREAKING: Immigration officers are asserting sweeping power to enter homes without a judge’s warrant, a memo obtained by AP says.

Read Lynn Kuok on the threats to the subsea order—and how a new framework could save it.

ICE secretly told its officers that any time someone has been ordered removed, ICE can break down their door. It has been accepted for generations that the only thing which can authorize agents to break into your home is a warrant signed by a judge. No wonder ICE hid this memo!

Sadistic. This is a crime. The agents will be held accountable.
