Once again an entire story on insane Trump policy toward Greenland w/ no one asking anyone in administration what they plan to do with the people who live there if the US were to take it over. There are people who live there who don’t want to be part of the US. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

what the fuck is that even supposed to mean

This guy has ascended to the pinnacle of power, as a shadow president, b/c no one has effectively called him out on his BS. But Europe dumping its bonds that support 50% of America's national debt would do that in a jiffy.

Just a reminder that Trump is selling Venezuelan oil and depositing the proceeds into a bank account in Qatar that is NOT under any control by the US government or Congress. He's just stealing it. It really is that simple.

When the racist meme becomes national policy

pretty sure he meant the other thing, grok, but very cool that those are your two things

It is very funny to hear libs trash Tooze, but fail to engage with the wider historiographical milieu

Haitian authorities confirm Erik Prince-linked mercenaries took part in anti-gang raids Officials publicly acknowledge for the first time that private military firm Vectus Global supported police operations, including a Jan. 14 raid haitiantimes.com/2026/01/15/h...

the only good thing about this part of the horrible shooting story is that it may turn out to be a gut shot for the carcass of @cbsnews.com and that's great. and unlike the ICE goon CBS has real internal bleeding.

Adam Tooze gave the inaugural 𝘓𝘙𝘉 Autumn Lecture, ‘Electrostates, Petrostates and the New Cold War’, at the New School in New York City on 27 October 2025. Watch the lecture in full here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLnx...

Right now the US has 3.6 million people living on 4k square miles of land who can't vote for president or a voting rep in Congress. Add Greenland and it would be a bit more than 3.6 million people on 840k square miles of land, most of it uninhabitable.

Second man shares horrific story of being blinded by officers at anti-ICE rally in Santa Ana

“If you’re willing to admit that it was the Red Army that beat fascism,” Tooze said, somewhat grudgingly, “then you can have your fascism analogy.” www.theguardian.com/business/202...

If anyone was still pretending this isn’t just about excluding trans kids from public life, the Trump administration just opened a Title IX investigation into a Maine school district because a trans student is on a *co-ed* cheerleading squad.

Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy Sarah B. Rogers goes on main to respond to an account that explicitly markets itself as a Nazi account to say “yes, racism, but not like THAT!”

While the pasty incels who work the federal agencies continue to churn out feeble, bloodless AI pastiches of Axis propaganda, here’s how a living breathing artist powerfully invokes design history. This is by illustrator Emily K in South Philly, a free poster-sized download on her website: →

Senator Susan Collins killed the amendment to protect the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) -- perhaps the world's premier research center for work on #weather, #climate, models, and remote sensing. Remember that.

Quelle surprise!

The wrong kind of white South African according to our government

Yesterday, Coinbase withdrew its support for the crypto market structure bill. Hours later, the Senate Banking Committee canceled the markup hearing. They’re not even trying to pretend anymore that this bill isn’t written by the industry, for the industry.

I think the disconnect between Atlantic elites is that Americans think Donald Trump is a kid getting to drive a monster truck for Make A Wish and Europeans and Canadians think Donald Trump is the president of the United States.

Next up: internal passports

New: meet ELITE, the Palantir app ICE is using to find neighborhoods to raid. Map interface; officers search for immigrants; click person to bring up individual dossier. This is clearest link between what Palantir is building and ICE's activities on the ground yet www.404media.co/elite-the-pa...

The main bank account holding revenue from the Venezuelan oil sales is located in Qatar. “There is no basis in law for a president to set up an offshore account that he controls so that he can sell assets seized by the American military,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren. www.semafor.com/article/01/1...

No, not everyone! In 2024, the left ran a successful campaign, beating both the far right and the Macronists. Macron chose not to appoint a prime minister from the left-wing coalition. Who is to blame then?

It is absolutely *wild* that feds abandoned multiple vehicles to protestors last night. What a bunch of amateurs.

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now. If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

BREAKING — Mayor of Lewiston, Maine posts on FB that ICE is coming to the city imminently. This confirms my reporting the agency is planning a surge in the city and state generally. Lewiston is home to a large Somali-American population, which made up 4.6% of the population as of the 2020 census.

Bro, they are closing schools because teachers need time to make virtual options for non-white students because lawless federal paramilitaries are terrorizing them.

Congress failing at its constitutional job.

Expected Goals Chelsea 0.64 Arsenal 2.75 Should be out of sight really. #CHEARS

The FBI searched the home of a Washington Post reporter seeking classified state documents. Nothing she wrote about could be considered classified. They simply want to suppress dissent via intimidation. Don't let them. Here is what she wrote. Please share. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Denmark has sent troops to Greenland to defend against a possible American invasion. Just let that sit in your mind for a bit.

as if this wasn't bad enough on its face, they didn't search a natsec beat journo like Ellen Nakashima or even defense Dan Lamothe/Alex Horton, it was Hannah Natanson, whose beat has been......DOGE and related abuses of feds guys I don't think they were looking for classified documents

".. The reporter, Hannah Natanson, has spent the past year covering the Trump administration’s effort to fire federal workers and redirect much of the work force to enforcing his agenda." @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/01/14/u...

telling the secret police they have immunity to harm & kill citizens really lays bare the hollowness of decades of right-wing GOP screeching about encroaching Big Government - it was never a problem they had with government per se, just that it wasn't being used to harm the people they wanted to

BREAKING: ICE agents in Minneapolis violently detained and arrested a U.S. citizen for one reason only: he refused to prove his citizenship. No crime. No warrant. No probable cause.

BREAKING: James Rodden, an ICE prosecutor who the Observer identified last year as the operator of an X account that posted “America is a White nation," “‘Migrants’ are all criminals,” and apparent praise of Adolf Hitler, appeared to be back at work Tuesday. www.texasobserver.org/ice-prosecut...

Yes, immigration agents not only took Arnoldo's phone, the 10th grader had to use Find My Phone to locate it — in a vending machine for used electronics, close to an ICE detention center. Read the full story here: www.propublica.org/article/vide...

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan. A citizen. Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold. "We're from the United States bro!' he screamed. Agents took and sold his phone And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

Same people who questioned every Gaza death count now uncritically hyping claims by CBS - CBS!! - that up to 20,000 Iranian protesters have been killed. So weird.

That NSS line about “trade not aid” for Africa seems to be going as planned

NEW: Far-right Zionist group Betar US will disband following an investigation by NY State Attorney General Letitia James into the group's "violence against and harassment of Muslim, Arab, Palestinian, and Jewish activists" and failure to register as a charity in NY despite soliciting donations.

This is a big deal. Pro-Palestinian activists allegedly got snatched off of the streets and prosecuted at Betar's behest.
