Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans. This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota: “Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

Kyiv, Ukraine's capital, remains in total darkness yet another day after a brutal Russian attack. No heat, electricity, or water. Subzero temperatures. The mayor has advised people to leave the city if they can to try to avoid mass deaths. This is Russian genocide of Ukrainians.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: “A 37-year-old American citizen, the mother of a young child is dead tonight. She was shot in the face by an agent of the federal government, and that government has spent the day telling despicable lies about her.”

Five years ago today, Donald Trump incited a violent mob to attack the Capitol in a last-ditch effort to cling to power after losing a free and fair election. January 6 was not a protest that got out of hand — it was an attempted coup, carried out in plain sight.

This! Unable to outlive, outrun the truth there is only one way to stop the future ….

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."

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.

OUT: Helping you pay for health care. IN: Helping oil companies pay for their infrastructure in a foreign country.

Big Oil spent nearly $100M to get Trump elected in 2024. Now Trump is returning the favor, giving them advance notice of his Venezuela attack and sending their stocks skyrocketing by promising them control of the country's oil reserves. This is what oligarchy looks like.

Pretty wild how fast MAGA went from “no new wars!” to “Invade Venezuela, bomb Iran, bomb Nigeria, destabilize Cuba, attack Colombia, threaten Mexico, and annex Greenland!!”

After a year in which Trump has bombed ... - Venezuela - Nigeria - Iran - Yemen - Syria - Somalia - and civilian boats in international waters ... I’m thinking about the voters who convinced themselves that Trump was the candidate of foreign policy restraint.

IT’S ALMOST TUESDAY, which means….  IT’S ALMOST ELECTION DAY!!! There are six elections this week, and they are all state legislative. We have AR HD70, SC HD98, GA HD23, VA SD15, and VA HD77 (HD - House District, SD - Senate District) 1/

Special Counsel Jack Smith’s testified before the House Judiciary Committee two weeks ago. His request to testify publicly was denied by Chair Jim Jordan, who then released the transcript on New Year’s Eve. READ the thread below.Share it.

Something I see a lot of folks missing in discussions about what's happening Venezuela, particularly around oil, is the role U.S. oil majors' interest in Guyana—and the threat Venezuela posed to it—has in all of it. Explainer here: drilled.media/news/guyana-...

Trump on why he pardoned notorious drug trafficker Juan Hernandez: “It was a Biden set up. Take any country you want. If someone sells drugs in that country, that doesn’t mean you arrest the president and put him in jail for the rest of his life.”

A hearty congrats to RFK Jr., as the U.S. is poised to lose its measles elimination status after 25 years, with the most cases since the early 1990s.

Boebert is calling Trump’s veto of a clean water pipeline for Colorado revenge for her vote to release the Epstein files. The veto is also retribution for not releasing Convicted criminal Tina Peters after Trump tried to pardon her. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 www.thedailybeast.com/maga-rep

By any reasonable historical standard — including that of the technology industry! — ChatGPT should be pulled from the market and its product managers and executives held accountable for creating a product that ROUTINELY tells teens to kill themselves. This is a basic, common sense standard.

The Kremlin's read out of the Trump-Putin chat, issued immediately, contained a full list of talking points for Trump to use in his meeting with Zelensky. A humiliating thing for a US president.

“.. We need to get better at treating this like a business,” ICE acting director Todd M. Lyons said .. as efficiently as Amazon moves packages: “Like Prime, but with human beings.” @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

"Like Amazon Prime, but with human beings."

If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career

In other #climate crisis emergency news …

Trump has revoked legal status for at least 1.6 million immigrants over the past year by cancelling programs like TPS and student visas. Remember: these are people who entered the country legally. Trump never cared about “legal immigration" — just inflicting cruelty.

Yep. That's exactly why the 60 Minutes episode on CECOT was cancelled three hours before it was supposed to air yesterday.

Many of the world’s most biodiverse countries are also deeply in debt. The world’s largest nation-state creditor could hold the keys to a solution. Will China step up?

British military intelligence reports that a strike using the Sub Sea Baby drone likely inflicted serious damage on a Russian submarine, possibly disabling its ability to operate or conduct missions. The sub is a Kalibr missile platform previously used to strike targets in Ukraine.

Remember this? James O'Keefe got Pam Bondi on video last May saying the FBI was processing “tens of thousands of videos” of Epstein “with little kids.” Then she told reporters “There are tens of thousands of videos of Epstein with children or child porn.” www.mediaite.com/politics/att...

🇺🇸🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: “I have one aim, to get an answer for the question: What will the United States of America do if Russia comes with aggression again?”

Good night, dear friends. It’s 00:45 in Ukraine. This is what the first minute after a Russian attack looks like inside a home. In one second, your life can be turned upside down. Here, every single day is a gift. We will never forgive the russians. Russia is a terrorist state!

So much this @sifill.bsky.social! "It’s not that I’m talking about race, it’s that [Trump] just stood up the other day and said, We want the Danes, the Swedes, and the Norwegians. We don’t want people from shithole countries."

This really is, as Sara says, INSANE memory-holing: Minutes after FCC Chairman Carr told Congress that the FCC "is not" an independent agency (see video below via @atrupar.com), the FCC website started getting scrubbed to remove that description.

It’s time to speak up while you still can.

1. A blockade is an act of war 2. The idea that Venezuela has stolen land from the United States is so laughably stupid on its face that even some of his base is like 🤨 3. It’s always about oil.

www.theguardian.com/football/202... There must be a heck of an “behind the scenes” uproar in the associations over ticket pricing, Trump’s peace prize, the fear of detention, deportations and entry denial for players and their families that @fifaworldcup26.bsky.social had to take this step.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families. The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

Just a reminder that at least 600 Americans were fired for failing to show sufficient respect after Charlie Kirk's murder.
