So Rory Stewart and Alistair Campbell flew to Belgrade to interview president Aleksandar Vucic, likely courtesy of Serbia’s taxpayers, for their podcasts. Soft balls were thrown, a PR job disguised as journalism and bio laundering. They should rename it into The Rest is Disgrace

The President of the University of Belgrade Vladan Djokic, an unlikely hero of the students uprising in Serbia and the enemy No 1 of the criminal regime. He gave a historic speech tonight in front of thousands that gathered to defend of the last bastions of freedom in the country.

While all eyes are on Iran and Hungary, the burning of the Reichstag scenario unraveling in Serbia at the moment, as the country is now solidly an autocracy

A very sad news. John and I traveled through the war thorn Bosnia and I saw first hand his immense talent. He was a journalist’s journalist, they don’t make them like that any longer. John F. Burns, Prize-winning Foreign Correspondent for The Times, Dies at 81 www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/w...

Mainly on the account of not being JD Vance

A smart nove

Will she auction all the luxury goods Uncle Jeff, as she called him, bought her and donate the proceeds? Like that Hermes band for her Apple Watch?

Predicting that this week we’ll hear more conciliatory words from the Administration regarding Minnesota (since they’re starting to realize that ICE has become politically toxic) but everyone outside of Minnesota needs to know that nothing on the ground has changed.

What will it take to reach the tipping point of the Selma moment? People in MN feel a bit forlorn in their fight

As in any authoritarian regime, it’s crucial to hire people who can lie without losing a beat. Caroline Levitt, Gregory Bovino, Kristi Noem…These are the useful fools. Miller is a whole separate category

The front page of the @startribune.com for Jan 23. The photo shows ICE agents spraying chemicals into the face of the person they are holding on the ground. So brave.

I’m sure Carney’s heart is broken

More blood on the streets of Minneapolis and there will likely be more. @startribune.com and @mprnews.org doing a heroic job of reporting from the frontlines of the besieged state

This is what CBS brought to heel looks like, colorized.

A beautifully written profile of Renee Good, killed by ICE agent, now a ground zero for the resistance. Her last words - “I’m not mad at you”, were said to the agent just 40 seconds before he fired bullets in her head. Simms up pretty well how fucked up this is www.startribune.com/renee-good-f...

🚨U.S. veteran GOES ABSOLUTELY NUCLEAR ON ICE: "I've bled for this country, I've fought for this country—they're disgracing this f*cking country and what it f*cking means! They hide behind their f*cking masks like f*cking pussies! Get them out of here!" WE'RE LIVE NOW ⬇️

No more Minnesota fucking nice.

Will Trump invoke the Insurrection Act and send the troops to Minneapolis, wouldn’t be surprised if he does.

Jacob Frey: "To ICE -- get the fuck out of Minneapolis"

Doesn’t happen this often for Minnesota to dominate the national news and not in a good way. It’s f$cked on so many levels www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

Vuk, an award winning investigative journalist in Serbia, received threats on his phone. He was previously attacked twice in the streets of Belgrade. One attacker was never identified, the other, close to the regime, never charged. Vucic’s Serbia looks more and more like Belarus.

A piece of good news but it’s likely just a pause, and the friends from UAE will swoop in. This just goes to show that even the Trump family doesn’t want to touch a deal with Vucic with a proverbial pole

This is Bogdan, a student from Novi Sad, Serbia, who was arrested a month ago during protests. He was brought to the funeral of his father in chains, escorted by three policemen who immediately took him back to prison after the burial.

Serbian president Vucic like Forrest Gump. He added himself by photoshopping the image to send a message back home to his loyalists that he’s on a par with Xi and Putin.

On point. 👇🏻
