Thousands rally in Denmark against Trump’s threats to take over Greenland

“Homeland” wasn’t a word people in the US used to talk about the US when DHS was created. It felt at the time like Republicans laundering explicitly fascist language into their public project

The jackboots are out here saying "One heritage, one people" and liberals are like "One more training can fix this, just one more training bro please"

When I say that we're living through an American remake of Operation Condor and the Dirty War, this is the shit I'm talking about.

JUST IN: The Virginia Senate has passed the constitutional amendment to basically allow Democrats to gerrymander the state, joining the state House. Next up: voters would have to approve this in a spring referendum for a new map to go into effect.

The world is simply reforming without the U.S. at the center.

MAGA, a movement of cynical cruelty that is fueled by atomization, has accidentally created the conditions for in person communities to be formed around resisting their repression bsky.app/profile/aaro...

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

In 2025, Iowa had the highest number of farm foreclosures in years. Our soybean farmers are worried their markets will never recover, all because of a chaotic tariff war led by folks in Washington who don’t care about our rural communities. As your next Senator, I won’t leave farmers behind.

At one point today, there were 283 Minnesota attorneys doing a training on how to file emergency habeas petitions to keep our neighbors from being shipped out of state and held indefinitely. That would be the second largest law firm in the state. And that training was just put together this week.

I don't think people realize how quickly self-sorting is happening as the middle evaporates. You're either 100% behind the resistance or you're a fascist collaborator.

Hey, @amyklobuchar.com and @smith.senate.gov: I'm not a senator, but if ICE thugs were rampaging through the major city in my state, I might try to impede Senate business as usual and try to bring everything to a halt until I could get answers or force some votes. open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Gov. Kathy Hochul made many promises in her State of the State address, including expanding money for child care and lowering insurance costs to name a few. But how it'll all fit in the budget could create tension between Hochul and city progressives.

Trump's unhinged gangster-like obsession with Greenland has absolutely nothing to do with National Security. That's his convenient excuse for EVERYTHING. It's all about rare-earth metals and natural resources. www.cnn.com/2026/01/12/b...

They all mock Trump in private but are too cowardly to ever say a single thing against him publicly. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/13/u...

This make sense but the M15 bus route is the busiest bus route in the city and United States, carrying 57,000 riders daily and 16.4 million riders annually.

'Micro-manager in Chief'

Trump always played to our grievance & acted as accelerant to our worst selves. People have to choose to continue to swallow his poisonous lies or admit they were duped by their own demons. I won’t immediately trust new awareness but I welcome those walking the on-ramp to pluralism & reality.

Sen Tillis (R-NC): Trump is trying to end the independence of the Fed through blackmail. This must stop.

On Wednesday, President Donald Trump withdrew the United States from 66 international bodies, including the Freedom Online Coalition. With this move, the US has formally stepped away from a core part of its leadership of the global Internet norms it once helped build, writes Konstantinos Komaitis.

Every time something like this happens, I am reminded due process matters even in a flawed and unequal justice system. Law-enforcement officers are not the justice system. And part of their job is to deal with the public. It’s striking, how many of these people lead with cowardice and blood thirst.

NYC had 205 traffic fatalities in 2025, the lowest recorded number. By comparison, there were 700 traffic fatalities in 1990. Overall, there are 31% fewer fatalities since Vision Zero was introduced in 2014. More to be done, but the COVID spike has finally reversed. gothamist.com/news/nyc-rec...

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply. I want to make sure this is very clear.

At year end, the dividing line in politics today is defined by dignity. Dignity is something that can't be taken away. It can only be surrendered voluntarily. We saw the most powerful business leaders willing to surrender dignity while everyday Americans stood tall.

Just back from seeing The Apartment, and I can confirm that it remains perfect. It’s hard to believe anyone could ever have been as winsome and gorgeous as Shirley MacLaine is in this film.

And the final astonishing artifact of 2025 is this well-preserved covered wagon. 🏺🧪

The most New England thing I’ve learned about living in New England is that snow storms are actually the Protestant God’s way of giving one an opportunity to compete with the neighbors in rising early to plow the street in front of their houses as well as one’s own.
