Joe Scarborough on his call with Trump: "The president's response, 'Joe, the difference between Iraq and this is that Bush didn't keep the oil. We're going to keep the oil.' "'In 2016, I said we should have kept the oil. It caused a lot of controversy …this time we're going to keep the oil.'"

First day of class (take two!)

Stephen Miller is a danger to America and to a world longing for peace

Today in Constitutional Law II: Section 1 of the 14th Amendment

On this day in 1959, Richard and Mildred Loving were convicted of interracial marriage in Virginia, given a one-year suspended sentence, and banished from the state.

Today is a terrible anniversary of the traumatic day Trump sent his followers to attack our Capitol, overthrow our democratically elected incoming president & retain his power. None of us will ever forget.

A two front war with Canada, Greenland, UK, and Europe vs The United States and Russia.

The best course of action for Canada and Europe is to get carry out preemptive action against the United States and Trump. Whether that is legal challenges or militarily. It is better to prevent the invasion of Greenland than wait for the US to attack first.

Measures need to be taken by Europe and Canada to remove US bases across Greenland and Europe, and to flip law abiding US generals, governors, senators to the alliance. The invasion of Greenland must be made to be the most costly decision the US has ever made in its history.

Ex-NATO General Michel Yakovleff: "Europe needs to prepare for a divorce from the US in NATO, kick them out of Ramstein if necessary, relocate headquarters to Brussels or Paris."

I sense eyes upon me. #tulip

US oil companies say Trump did NOT inform them of his intention to take over Venezuela. They say extracting oil there would be too costly & take years to build the infrastructure - in a place too chaotic & dangerous for their workers Trump is impulsively doing things with no viable end vision.

Ex-NATO General Michel Yakovleff: “If Trump moves on Greenland, Europeans must be ready to fight the US to defend sovereignty.” "We must be ready to fight the US if they threaten European interests."

Not Tapper’s use of the word, but Miller’s rather.

Steve Schmidt has a T-shirt for sale with FDR's 4 freedoms on it. I bought one and wore it to the second No Kings Rally in DC. Simon Rosenberg also discusses this important declaration often. Who knew how much it would resonate all these years later?

happy bday one of my favs writer/philosopher Kahlil Gibran, b.1883. "Yesterday is but today's memory, and tomorrow is today's dream". "Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair".

Trump's mafia seize Maduro in unlawful raid, vowing to control Venezuela and tap its vast oil reserves. Billionaire backer Singer, fresh from snatching undervalued Citgo, reaps the rewards as embargoes lift and profits surge. Elite ties fueling foreign overreach. #Venezuela

It's been five years since Trump tried to overthrow the Constitution. What unfolded over the five years that followed will be remembered as one of the greatest failures of American institutions in our history.

Good morning. Five years ago today, Jan 6, 2021, insurrectionists stormed the U.S. Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power. Lincoln warned that government “of the people, by the people, for the people” must not perish. @hcrichardson.bsky.social's article is worth a full read today.

I’m going to disagree with Mark. It’s pretty plain to me that neoliberal captures policies that are forms of left-of-center triangulation, post Reagan Revolution. It’s a market-driven liberalism that leans towards deregulation and private capital, emphasizing reforming current social safety nets.

Good morning ppl! Confused about what vaccines are now covered & which ones are not? They are all still covered by the gov and insurance plans. YOU CAN STILL GET THEM ALL. They just want you to think you shouldn’t need to. Here is a quick info graphic by the NYT of the vaccines they are reccomending

Absolutely 💯 Agree.....

Here's Stephen Miller bragging about having encircled the "island" of Venezuela. I don't doubt there have been US covert forces on its land border, but even I have seen reporting abt stuff going down on the border w/Colombia. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NiB...

Absofuckinglutely 💯.......

Keir Starmer told his cabinet this morning that tackling the cost of living "must remain our focus" whatever is happening globally. He said Labour would be judged at next election on whether "people feel better off" as he urged ministers to go further...

Believing that Venezuela is an island is the same kind of mindset that leads you to believe you can impose big tariffs on coffee and bananas. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NiB...

Merry Littlle Christmas, on this Feast of the Epiphany, or Three Kings Day. May you each find a star to follow that brings you to a life of peace and love.

on this day 1941 President Roosevelt gives the 4 Freedoms speech. "Let us say to the democracies: "We Americans are vitally concerned in your defense of freedom. We are putting forth our energies, our resources and our organizing powers to give you the strength to regain and maintain a free world."

Good morning blue sky follow your path today and every day

Trump indicted Venezuela's Maduro for so-called drug trafficking, yet pardoned Honduras' ex-leader Juan Orlando Hernandez, convicted of similar crimes, exposing selective justice like a rigged scale tilting toward allies. #USDrugPolicy
