The defining face of the first day of the full-scale invasion is Ukrainian marine Vitalii Skakun. He heroically sacrificed his life by blowing up a bridge in Henichesk to slow the advancing Russian columns.

“Don’t go to the US – not with Trump in charge’: the UK tourist with a valid visa detained by ICE for six weeks.Karen Newton was in America on the trip of a lifetime when she was shackled, transported and held for weeks on end.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I believe in giving credit where it’s due. Hang the entire Gorsuch concurrence in the Louvre. Master class in telling your colleagues they’ve lost their fucking minds.

La méthode employée par Trump et ses sbires s’apparente à celle de gangsters. « On attise les masses, on excite leur colère, puis on la canalise vers un bouc émissaire jusqu’à les pousser à lyncher des gens. » Tout est là devant nos yeux «Rien n’est caché. » @magdalineboutros.bsky.social

She has been in Dilley for over 120 days. Her and Liam’s stories are one of thousands. What the Trump admin is doing to our children is depraved and unconscionable. Dilley must close. #FreeOurChildren www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Seriously? NBC couldn’t hire an intern or anyone to do a little research about each of the countries introduced in the Olympics opening ceremony so the audience would learn something? Instead, we just get Sean White talking about himself?

Since I'm pretty sure this administration doesn't realize this document exists, it would be worth downloading the 2020 Intelligence Community Assessment on foreign threats to the U.S. elections before it disappears, which includes the following finding: www.dni.gov/index.php/ne...

21° degrees. Sleet. Snow. The walk does not stop. The Monks are still moving forward, from Raleigh, NC, on their route to Washington, DC. This is what commitment looks like. The walk must continue — even when the road is hard. Peace isn’t passive — it’s walked. #WalkForPeace ##DefendersOfDemocracy

Caught some of CBC Newsworld's interview with former Greenlandic MP, Tillie Martinussen. She is amazing. I hope that segment gets saved and uploaded. Here's another interview.

Deutsche Bank here with the good stuff. Game on.

Congress can stop ICE. Congress can block the use of force in Greenland. In other words, in this crisis, Congress can act to support civil liberties at home and free nations abroad. To fail to act would be to be complicit in a dreadful outcome.

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

The High Seas Treaty, which will allow countries to establish protected areas outside territorial waters, takes effect today after 20yrs of talks. Scientists like Sylvia Earle call it a “turning pt” for biodiversity. Protected areas raise fish catch nearby too www.newscientist.com/article/2512...

The world’s first legally binding agreement to safeguard marine life beyond national borders is now international law - my latest for @forbes.com www.forbes.com/sites/veroni...

Instead of seeking justice for Renee Good, Donald Trump is weaponizing the Justice Department to investigate and intimidate Democratic leaders in Minnesota. We will not stand by silently and be bullied into submission.

The Senate is scheduled to be out on recess next week. That means we have an opportunity to make sure our senators hear directly from their constituents about the necessity of reining in ICE. Demand that your senators use the upcoming Homeland Security funding bill to get ICE Out For Good.

Will Bunch, Philadelphia Inquirer —"If the American Experiment dies, it will be because we didn’t stop the immorality of a white supremacy that calls Somali refugees “garbage” and a patriarchy that mutters “f---ing bitch” as it murders a woman in ice-cold blood." www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

This should be the biggest News story of the day Instead we get crickets from the major news outlets. Fascism 101, control the news media. Resistance 101, get out and protest anyway. We're going to win this, because if we don't, it'll be NAZI Germany all over again.

And for a moment in Columbia, you could see it: People choosing gentleness not out of weakness, but because they’re tired of being lied to. Peace doesn’t argue. It waits. And when it walks past, people follow.

Columbia, South Carolina. Thousands of people turned up. No rage. No slogans. No spectacle. Just people standing respectfully, quietly, kindly.

I am not a lawyer but @keithellison.bsky.social is it customary for the subject of an investigation to have his coworkers remove items from his house during an active investigation?

it’s telling that he almost certainly knows he is being recorded. He’s speaking to us, too. it’s a threat.

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social: "We have an ICE agent who should have been trained not to be in front of a vehicle and never to shoot into a moving vehicle, and yet this happened on [Kristi Noem's] watch. The whole POINT of Homeland Security is to make this country more stable and safe."

GERMAN PRESIDENT STEINMEIER: “.. the United States has broken with the values that it helped to establish .. “.. we have now moved beyond the stage where we can lament the lack of respect for international law or the erosion of the international order; we are far beyond that, I believe.”

Oh my gosh you guys! The House just passed my bill to extend the health care tax credits for three more years!

The number of ways this is unconstitutional lunacy is…a lot

Thank you Eugene Goodman for saving Democracy during the Capitol insurrection #January6th

Noticing that CNN is calling Jan. 6 a “riot,” not an “insurrection.” PSA: It was an insurrection.

Don't let this Jan 6th point get lost: Jack Smith testified to Congress he had "proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election." In other words, he could prove in court that Trump attempted a coup.

Former Special Counsel, Jack Smith, explicitly states: "President Trump was by a large measure the most culpable and most responsible person in this conspiracy. These crimes were committed for his benefit. The attack that happened at the Capitol, part of this case, does not happen without him."

Keir Starmer and European allies issue hands-off warning to Trump over Greenland ahead of coalition of the willing talks today www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Five years ago today, Donald Trump urged his supporters to attack Congress and the Capitol over a proven lie. More than 140 police officers were injured. Trump then pardoned the attackers. He betrayed his oath and his country, and we won't ever forget it.

On January 6th, 2021, when Trump incited an insurrection, America's corporate leaders rushed to distance themselves from him. Today, as Trump destroys our democracy at home and stages more coups abroad, they're sucking up to him to pad their own bottom lines. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MC0v...

Joint statement from major NATO members: “Greenland belongs to its people. It is for Denmark and Greenland, and them only, to decide on matters concerning Denmark and Greenland.”

If you read one thing about January 6 today, make it this article. It’s that good. Clear, unsentimental, incisive. 👇👇👇

1/ In 2022, one year after Trump incited the seditious attack on the US Capitol, I posted a long thread of images on Twitter, because revisionist attempts to create a false narrative about that day were already well underway. Today, in 2025, I’m re-creating/re-posting that same thread here.👇

History repeating, while congress is silent.

NEVER FORGET.

We are a country whose Constitution, according to the Supreme Court, gives our own presidents immunity for crimes committed while in office, but we will prosecute presidents of other countries for alleged crimes and invade them to execute arrest warrants.

We cannot become numb to the outrage of this. The wife of the President’s Senior Advisor threatens a sovereign nation.

This war is completely illegitimate: 60% of Americans disapprove of going to war with Venezuela—74% disapprove war without Congressional approval. Only 19% are in favor. The people oppose it. Our representatives didn’t approve it. Trump should be removed for this unconstitutional war.
