“Trump's decided to sink the EU,” declares one Russian paper today. Lots about Greenland in the Russian press. But also domestic economic problems: “Prices ready to soar”, Moscow cafes closing & “Russia’s car industry completely dependent on China’s.” #ReadingRussia

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

"The demanded electricity is not generated in this parish, it’s not used in this parish. It merely passes through, leaving no trace of itself or it’s benefits, just the infrastructure to transmit it." @apkeedle.bsky.social andrewkeedle.com/2026/01/03/j...

I am deeply unsettled by this video. But I feel responsible to ask what came before. Being responsible, I can find an answer. It was more complex than what is shown here. But the administration makes zero attempt at being responsible. www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/new...

They aren't challenging methodology, they're refusing to debate. The administration "contends that these estimates are doubtful and said the EPA would no longer take health effects into account in the cost-benefit analyses necessary for clean-air regulations." www.nytimes.com/2026/01/12/c...

Erasing what you see with your eyes and know to be fact is the goal of the current administration. From Jan. 6, 2021 to Venezuela, as well as countless stories in between. Thank you @michaelfanone.bsky.social, Daniel Hodges, @tomdreisbach.bsky.social and @npr.org. www.upr.org/npr-news/202...

"Trump’s new world order is now very much a reality. It has no obvious rules, no real allies, celebrates the jungle and is almost always about money. There is a lot of wealth under Venezuela’s soil. Trump is now committed to extracting it." My column. Free to read. as.ft.com/r/08b22b7a-4...

The CBS investigation portrays a modern concentration camp, similar to the Soviet GULAG (like CECOT, an acronym): sadistic guards, 24 hour lighting, isolation cells. Americans once opposed this inhumane system. The Trump administration sent innocent people there to suffer.

Pardons are now available for anyone who can pay for them. This is the most corrupt President in history.

Here's an example of how Trump's corruption factory works. 1. Coinbase put $46M into elections to help Trump allies. 2. Sends him a huge check for his inauguration. 3. Trump drops SEC lawsuit against Coinbase. 4. Trump demands big donation from Coinbase for ballroom. Done.

Come for the stunning visuals and layered stories. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/se...

More corruption than we even dreamed possible. “Such is the fear of jail, bankruptcy or professional reprisal, that most of these people insisted on anonymity.” on.ft.com/4qoZJHn

Timothy Mellon of the famous Pittsburgh Mellon family is the one who provided $130 million to pay US military personnel. His views on social safety nets are that Democrats “buy” votes by providing government funds to pay for food for infants.

In the days ahead, Bluesky will have to decide how much it wants to be the focus of the Trump administration's tantrums, how much it can afford to defend itself against political prosecution, and how far it can push users already uneasy after months of moderation controversies, writes Erin Kissane.

He's demanding the Justice Department pay him about $230 million in compensation for the federal investigations into him and any settlement might ultimately be approved by senior department officials who defended him... How is this real, Merrick Garland? www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/u...

Not a word on the @nytimes.com. "According to a European official with knowledge of the meeting, Trump said to Zelenskyy that Putin had told him the conflict was a “special operation, not even a war”, adding that the Ukrainian leader needed to cut a deal or face destruction." on.ft.com/4oAhGkB

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement. Check out how tiny the crowds were: Philly: 200 DC: "several hundred" Boston: 500 Austin: 1,000 Houston: 2,000

Hasan: Let me say to every Republican and conservative watching. Aren't you the ones that said no more big government? No tyranny in America? If you believe that, what are you doing defending masked federal agents in unmarked cars bundling people off the streets

Brilliant summary by @tressiemcphd.bsky.social. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/01/o...?

This is a demonstration of how powerful the right wing misinformation machine is. They take a phrase or a word some Democrat said, attach the worst possible interpretation to it, and repeat their view of it THOUSANDS of times until even liberals remember it the way conservatives want them to.

Having worked with the @open-society.bsky.social in the 90s and 2000s, I have always been incredibly impressed with their sense of purpose. It shocks me how little people know about the activities and the longevity of work. www.opensocietyfoundations.org/who-we-are/o...
