This is “recall the ambassador” type shit. Enough is enough.

The tsar's advisers whisper evil into his ear. All would be well, if only the tsar knew.

He's not even running for re-election but still can't grow a spine.

Chat is it good when other world leaders can no longer believe that private messages will remain private?

I know the story is going around. This is Morristown, New Jersey. Half an hour from Newark Airport. Its on the hinterlands of New York City. It's a fight I know ICE isn't ready for. Also, this is People magazine. It's as normal supermarket America as it gets. Let's hope this lights something.

I am not exaggerating when I say ICE functions as a terrorist organization in the Twin Cities. The goal seems to be to harass and frighten people (the ones who are lucky enough to not be abducted, at least) and it's deeply unsettling when you learn they're in your neighborhood.

Life comes at you fast.

Please read this excellent reporting by @marisakabas.bsky.social.

ok not to be a philosophy asshole but what does Mr. Jones think preparation is?

*attacks other countries* "The worst thing that you can do is retaliate against me. Just let me continue attacking you, and we will all be fine." www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Find someone who loves caving as much as Congressional Democrats. Impossible.

“I feel like I am somewhere where rules are not working,” he said in one of his calls from Plymouth. “Maybe in Russia or in Belarus — but I'm not in America.” Every day, another reminder that the US is the villain in pretty much every story now. www.wbur.org/news/2026/01...

the international far right’s embrace of trump, and trump’s attempts to force the rest of the world to adopt miller’s international segregationism, is a reminder that even the “globalist” attack was projection. They want to use american power to remake the whole world into fash ethnostates

"A review by the editorial board relying on analyses from news organizations shows that Mr. Trump has used the office of the presidency to make at least $1.4 billion." www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

"By almost every metric, New York’s decades-in-the-making plan has exceeded expectations in year one." prospect.org/2026/01/20/n...

Judge bars agents from - detaining people without reasonable suspicion or probable cause of crime - using nonlethal munitions on peaceful protesters - stopping drivers who follow ICE to monitor ops if not interfering Admin appealing it cuz they want to do it www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Sen. Markwayne Mullin bought up to $50K each in Raytheon stock (RTX) & Chevron (CVX) just days before the U.S. strike on Venezuela— Mullin sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee — I’m sure it’s just a coincidence..

It is endlessly funny how Republicans, having complete control of the government, could end gerrymandering across the country in a day, but every one of their tantrums has to avoid acknowledging that is not nor has it ever been what they want. They literally just want only Republicans to do it.

This from @andreapitzer.bsky.social is key. “nobody sane now thinks the answer to abuses at Dachau was to give the guards more training.”

Denmark’s center-right party with a more strident statement than anything coming out of Chuck Schumer’s mouth these days.

reading this poll, not a single number here is net favorable for the trump administration. "trump admin.'s plan to deport immigrants here illegally in the U.S." is underwater among independents by 20 points! www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-tru...

There are numerous reports across the Twin Cities on ICE monitoring pages of drones circling apartment buildings. What valid law enforcement reason could there be for this?

Yay I wrote that!

This sounds like ritual suicide from a cult.

May Minnesota's business leaders someday find the courage of our high school journalists: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

This is too favorable a depiction but yeah.

I'd like to revisit this

They like Trump and didn't like Biden

I'm not much of a podcast listener, but I've found this podcast on the history of capitalism to be very engaging. sceneonradio.org/capitalism/

the median voter wants no taxes & no debt but still healthcare & pensions, they want clean energy, clean water, cheap beef, & cheap gas, & they want a bruising take-no-prisoners military that embraces lesbians & furries & single moms without threatening anyone's masculinity

Donald Trump asking other world leaders to serve on his "board of peace."

Can't wait for this guy to finally resign so that Bucks can get a Congressperson who actually cares to fight for the district and not simp for Trump while pretending not to.

Hard to believe the man who floated injecting bleach as a COVID cure would go to war with Greenland because he didn’t get a Nobel Peace Prize.

Obama, Biden, and Clinton all embraced this notion that they had to appear “tough” on immigration and it helped to build this machine that the GOP is using to oppress and kill Americans. Maybe the party ought to stop doing that shit.

I suspect 9 of 10 Americans are unaware that the Hmong are here because they aided the US in the Vietnam war, and then had to flee as refugees afterwards. Quite the “thank you” we’re giving them 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Putin belongs in The Hague, not on any state-sponsored business CEO-board and certainly not on a board of peace

trump only cares when it hits him personally. they should sanction trump directly. you wanna see results: close his scottish golf course.

"“Whatever you think it is, it’s worse,” Brandi Reilly, a neighbor who witnessed Thao’s detainment, told me by phone on Monday about what it’s been like in the Twin Cities of late. " www.thehandbasket.co/p/ice-st-pau...

Prior to Trump, I always thought someone could do a cutting satire of US politics with a show about a president who loses his mind while in office, and the lengths to which his party will go to justify and defend his increasingly insane pronouncements. We’re living in that show.

Not headline news. No real fuss by Democratic leaders. No calls to censure. No pushback. No questions asked of GOP leadership by the press. Just totally accepted anti-Muslim bigotry across the board.

He’s losing the narrative war.

If you need more evidence that Minnesota is not going well for them

German Jews were citizens of Germany at the start of 1933. By the end of 1933, the Nazis had removed citizenship from naturalized citizen Jews. In 1935, all German Jews were fully stripped of their German citizenship. Citizenship under dictatorships is contingent for targeted minorities.

it’s just so crazy to see it happen in real time

Fairly sure it’s unintentional, but the end date on this mug being sold by the Smithsonian does make it sound a little like they’re saying America dies in 2026…

This is pure, unabashed bigotry. If a politician said this about any other faith, they would rightfully be run out of their party. But this kind of despicable anti-Muslim rhetoric is so normalized that a sitting Senator uses it without consequence. A stain on our Congress.

“….they have misjudged the ground beneath their feet: a state full of ordinary people — real estate agents, high school students, solar energy consultants — who’ve decided that watching their neighbors being dragged away is an intolerable sin.” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/o...

Per Belarusian media today, Trump invited the country's muy loco dictator for life, Oleksandr Lukashenko, to join his peace board, for a modest admission fee of $1 bn. Stark. Raving. Mad.
