Half of Americans think the United States has lost global influence over the past five years.

Who would have ever thought that it would be a president of the United States who would threaten to invade NATO territory and not Vladimir Putin?

“What the hell kind of Christian is this guy anyway?” From the new Private Eye, out now.

Oh look. Yesterday I wrote: "They're trying to provoke enough violence so they can declare martial law and cancel the elections altogether" and now he's taking the next step:

DHS Warns Any Action By Americans Will Be Treated As Domestic Terrorism

Gov. Walz got emotional Thursday, invoking Orwell's 1984 to describe the Trump administration's handling of the Minnesota ICE shooting.

It's three weeks after the deadline to release the Epstein files. Rep. Thomas Massie and Rep. Ro Khanna have now formally asked a federal judge to appoint a special master or independent monitor to ensure that all materials are released in compliance with the law.

*gestures vaguely*

They finally found something to replace all the shows and performers that canceled on them.

I'm concerned that the federal government has denied access to evidence for local law enforcement in Minnesota. Minnesota must be allowed to seek justice.

Illinois stands with Minnesota.

Alfred Nobel specifically stated in his will that once the prize has been awarded it can’t be changed. But if Trump is so pathetic that he wants to take Machado’s medal, and she’s so desperate and weak that she will give it to him, let the world watch that disgraceful charade.

My single 'Love Train' was released this week in 1989, featuring a guitar solo from the legendary Brian May and backing vocals from Don Snow and Lance Ellington. Here I am performing the song on Top of the Pops 🪩

This newly discovered Iron Age instrument may have been played in the Celtic resistance against the Roman Empire

Delivering his first annual foreign policy speech, Pope Leo did not hold back in his criticism for the might-makes-right mentality of world leaders.

Grok has not "turned off" its CSAM generator for anyone - it has simply put it behind a paywall. Stop uncritically repeating the narratives of tech companies.

The jobs report is in. What a disaster.

"Quit demonstrating" is not something that a pro-democracy politician says. It's something that an authoritarian tool says.

This is a seriously good article. BBC News - What Trump's vision of the new world order means for Europe - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Here's a reminder of what Trump said when a weaponised car ploughed into counter far right protesters??? www.bbc.com/news/world-u...

2025's Top Story: Fascism comes to America “When and if fascism comes to America it will not be labeled ‘made in Germany’; it will not be marked with a swastika; it will not even be called fascism; it will be called, of course, ‘Americanism.’" - Prof. Halford Luccock, 1938

Peaceful vigil for Renee Good tonight in Seattle.

.@PabloReports: What do you make of Kristi Noem calling Renee Good a domestic terrorist? Magaziner: Kristi Noem is an idiot.

Names aren't classified, publishing a government higher-up's name is not "doxxing," and journalists are entitled to publish news, even if it is classified, as long as they don't break the law to get it. Prosecuting journalists who aren't stenographers is unAmerican.

As Trump increasingly threatens to take control, some of the most powerful people in the world have taken their own interest in the mineral-rich territory to the North.

Quite a few Mothers involved in the awful shooting of Renee Good - but she was the only real one.

Minneapolis Mayor Rips DOJ's Move To Restrict Local Officials From ICE Shooting Probe

Please remember cuddly toys at the back of your car could be seen as possible terrorist activity!!!

Why was it tyranny when people were “forced” to wear masks during the early days of Covid, but it’s not tyranny when masked men with guns are demanding people comply with unlawful orders? Why are those on the right who screamed about freedom for years so eager to give it up?

Bad speling - their but 4 the grace of Cod!

This is not the law.

“Happy Anniversary, Charlie Brown,” a look back at the first 25 years of Peanuts, was first broadcast 50 years ago, on January 9, 1976. It includes great footage of Charles Schulz drawing and talking with the special’s host, Carl Reiner.

When asked if there were any limits to his global power, Trump replied: "Yes, there is one. My own morality. My own mind. That's the only thing that can stop me." - The NYT

I live in Minnesota. I’m going to my kid’s school when it lets out today. Parents are making sure kids get safely to buses and cars so they get home. We’ll be filming. We’ll be there to protect our children from our government. It’s come to that. I expect it will be a huge crowd.

This woman is a doer, not just a talker.

Only one leader in Europe has been willing to condemn Donald Trump's actions. For that he has been vilified and ostracised by the other European leaders. History will have its verdict.

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

The number of Gestapo in Germany was 32,000. The population was 70 million. That's one Gestapo for every 2200 citizens. The number of ICE agents is 20,000. The population of the US is 348 million. That's one ICE agent for every 17,000 citizens. There are more of us.

No shit, Sherlock!

Trump has weaponized ICE, demonized immigrants, and targeted communities of color.   The result? A woman shot and killed in Minneapolis.   Here’s how Trump caused this tragedy and what *must* happen next to rein in ICE. 1/3

JUST IN: The US economy added just 50,000 jobs in December, capping off one of the weakest years of job gains in decades. https://cnn.it/3Z40dWN

And in another big win: Spotify will no longer carry recruitment ads for ICE. @Indivisible launched a subscription boycott last fall, and Spotify got the message.

They’re killing the right to peacefully protest. They have broken the Constitution.
