I haven't read this yet, but it does seem like any possibility of avoiding a long struggle is gone. I think we need to prepare and dig in for the marathon and get better at the long game.

Nova Scotians have made it pretty clear we don't want this. The Houston (Conservative) gov't is going to force it on us anyway.

It says something about the current state of affairs or mainstream media (take your pick) that this isn't getting any attention.

I'm feeling like Schrödinger's Cat. Both happy and unhappy that Pierre Poilievre won his leadership review for Canada's Conservative Party. IYKYK

If you're going to Minnesota be sure to wear a flower in your hair

ICE is upset that ICE isn't welcome in restaurants after ICE ordered food at a restaurant, ate it, then arrested restaurant employees, and ICE believes this is someone else's fault, do I have that right?

Amazon just announced another round of 16,000 layoffs, months after it laid off 14,000 workers. Reminder that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy raked in over $40M in 2024. And Amazon is spending at least $75 million producing and promoting the Melania documentary. The system is rigged.

Seems like a good video for his trial

Congressional Budget Office: “Federal troop deployments to US cities cost a total of $496 million in 2025, CBO estimates. Continuing current deployments will cost $93 million a month; 1,000 Guard personnel deployed to a city will cost at least $18 million a month.” www.cbo.gov/publication/...

I feel heard. 🚴🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️

"The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone."

Pay attention folks. Danielle Smith and the Alberta MAGA machine are using the Donbas playbook. This isn't about "independence" it is about sedition and subservience to Trump.

This whole thread is worth exploring. But this post by the Senate Judiciary Democrats makes me feel like some Democrats just aren't coming up to speed fast enough.

As a reminder, before Trump even took office, Bovino used his violence against farmworkers in Kern County. Now he's back there. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/u...

"behind the violence in Minneapolis—captured in so many chilling photographs in recent weeks—is a different reality: a meticulous urban choreography of civic protest." from Robert worth, @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Boy, I am just a former state public defender and federal criminal investigator but someone is going to have to explain to me how federal agents who are not on federal property are able to block state law enforcement from accessing a crime scene Sounds like pretty clear Obstruction of Justice to me

In case you had any doubts this was an execution.

Just released my free weekend update. This week answered an important riddle. How was the US to be paid from seized Russian assets? why the new "Board of Peace" is the perfect vehicle. Completely unaccountable and unsanctionable, it is a corrupt ruler’s dream. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Yes.

In the middle of the murder and terror happening in Minneapolis, some activists are finding themselves doxxed. If you’re new to the movement and you don’t know what this means, or you’ve been doxxed and you don’t know what to do, read on.

All those people downtown yesterday, no ICE involvement, and not one incident. ICE shows up in a neighborhood and now another Minnesotan is dead. It's pretty obvious who the violent outside agitators are.

This is absolutely brutal. The whole country needs to do a general strike, not just the people in Minneapolis being terrorized by ICEm Shut the country down!!!

Creative uses for a leaf blower.

Don’t know what to trust on your feed? How did we get here? Next Thursday, @eliothiggins.bsky.social and @cward1e.bsky.social unpack the rise, backlash and future of counter-disinformation. Join us for a live Q&A on Discord. 11am EST / 5pm CET discord.gg/ApEnkSK6?eve...

I am so inspired by the people of Minnesota and the general strike that has been called. There are incredible lessons in resistance that we need to know and share. @meidascanada.ca tells the story of resistance in Denmark and the resistance of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_fh...

Stop what you’re doing and read this whistleblower report. ICE has been training its agents that they don’t need a judicial warrant to break down your door - a blatant violation of the 4th Amendment. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Some Republicans must have amnesia — because instead of remembering how fearful they were for their own lives, they’ve spent all day attacking Jack Smith for doing his job and stating the facts.

On Tuesday Mark Carney, Canada’s Prime Minister, gave a remarkable speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos. In effect he announced, calmly and lucidly, that Canada is filing for divorce from the Pax Americana: paulkrugman.substack.com/p/courageous...

There you have it, the Board of Peace is nothing more than a corrupt real estate deal dressed up as diplomacy with the sole purpose of enriching Trump and his favoured cronies.

PLEASE, if you live in the USA call this number daily.

Such a great explanation of the civil servant resignations.

Amazing moment on French TV. A French judge explains how Trump sent people from the US Embassy basically trying to intimidate her during Le Pen's trial for embezzlement - something they've done to other judges around the world.

Jfc, Canadian company Hootsuite has contracted with ICE to do its dirty work on social media. Do your thing, Bluesky. cc @hootsuite.com

This kind of thing is why I have always been so disappointed with the common American idea that capitalism=democracy and socialism=authoritarianism. I think Trump is proving capitalism+authoritarianism are not incompatible, in case there was any doubt.

This isn’t immigration policy. It’s a business model. ICE keeps growing, not because it makes America safer, but because corporations are raking in billions off cages, bodies, and suffering. ICE’s existence is a massive revenue stream.

A ProPublica analysis revealed a stark pattern across the Deep South, where about 200 majority-Black public school districts educate 1.3 million students. Alongside those districts are private academies filled almost entirely with white students. (Published Dec. 2024)

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is backed by the Trump regime. Trump blocks assistance to Ukrainian defenders, won’t sanction Russia and carries out fake peace negotiations. The U.S. wars against Minnesota and Denmark are backed by the Putin regime with massive information warfare.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

People in Minnesota are now using their key fobs to trigger their car alarms from the safety of their homes when they see ICE walking around.

It’s true…

Wow... So much greatness for Trump. #predictable 🙄

Brian Allen @allenanalysis.bsky.social 👍 HAPPENING NOW: Massive crowds are marching in #Nuuk, #Greenland to protest the #Trump administration. One sign says it all: “NO MEANS NO.” Greenland is not for sale. 🇬🇱

⚡️THANK YOU, EXCELLENT! Rep. Jason Crow ⚡️⚡️⚡️ I listened to your great interview with Heather Cox Richardson. And then this message for America and The World:⚡️🌍⚡️ “I went to war 3 times for America” -this kept echoing✨ After 3 times at war, I cannot even imagine how you and other #Vets are feeling! 🙏
