@petebuttigieg.bsky.social: Trump "said he was gonna lower costs, he did the opposite. He said he was gonna make healthcare more affordable, he did the opposite. He said that America would become a more peaceable place on his watch. We are seeing instead how he is deliberately stirring up chaos."

Trump's obsession with annexing Greenland for the US might have a much more basic motivation than any he has given thus far, as one author who had close access to him wrote for The New Yorker, and it all has to do with how big the island territory looks on a map. www.alternet.org/trump-greenl...

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

There is video of the shooting of a woman by ICE in Minneapolis circulating that shows an ICE agent repeatedly shooting her at point blank range while she tries to drive off. There was no obvious threat to any ICE agent.

When are we going to stand as a nation and oppose these monsters?

With the seizure of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, Donald Trump has demonstrated more powerfully than ever his belief in the power of his will, backed by raw US military force. On his orders the US has Maduro behind bars and now will "run" Venezuela.

Trump’s Christmas message "Scum" wasn’t just offensive. It was a warning. The future lay before us now, and if we care about the country our children will inherit, we can’t let this moral vandalism to go unanswered. THOM HARTMANN DEC 26, 2025 open.substack.com/pub/thomhart...

Trump said last year that he would focus on deporting immigrants who were violent criminals. But a study of arrests in major operations in DC, LA, Illinois and Massachusetts shows that the vast majority of those swept up by ICE have no criminal record. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Self-promoting, despicable, exploitation. www.ms.now/opinion/fifa...

The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.

This is down the street from my house. Proud of my neighbors for defending the vulnerable. Thanks to a fast-growing network of community alerts tracking & livestreaming of ICE, residents quickly arrived at Lafreniere Park Friday & confronted the commander. ICE left. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Christine Le Jeune was testifying against an Open AI/Oracle data center campus coming to her city of Port Washington. The officers claimed this was disorderly conduct - but I just see a woman exercising her rights as an American. Officer’s dragged her out.

Australia’s AUKUS deal is brain dead too.

Scott Bessent said something remarkable on Fox News yesterday. If Russia attacked Europe, he said, the US would... sell us weapons - but no troops. NATO kaput, in other words. Should this not be headline news across Europe? Is it not a sign of EU brain death that it is not?

Letitia James remains undefeated.

Rand Paul tells me that he wants the full video of the Venezuelan boat strike released. “And I think if the public sees images of people clinging to boat debris and being blown up, I think that there is a chance that finally, the public will get interested enough in this to stop this.”

Woah. Newsmax’s legal analyst just said Pete Hegseth and everyone involved in the illegal boat strike should be “prosecuted for a war crime.” They’ve even lost Newsmax on this one.

Nothing proves the Trump administration is made of mean whims based on lies better than a president who is murdering people in boats "because I am so strongly against drug trafficking" pardoning someone who trafficked more drugs than a hundred fishing boats could carry. www.cnn.com/2025/11/28/p...

If they're reporting 1M, it was definitely WAAAYYY more.

The FBI spent a million dollars redacting powerful men's names from the Epstein files. The victims? Twenty-eight names in one document alone unredacted, exposed, hunted down by reporters in front of their children. Privacy, it seems, is reserved for those who can afford to return the favor.

Soooo were any of Farage’s pals not taking bribes from Russia?

"Speaking outside his chateau in France" is so on brand for these people - depriving the rest of us our freedom of movement, but making sure they can enjoy the benefits the EU brings!
