How totally ironic: President Trump has said that the United States would come to the aid of protesters in Iran if the government used lethal force against them. But what about in his own country where his ICEmen Gestapo are killing protesters?

Kristi Noem is the real domestic terrorist!

Please support Michael de Adder, who does great work:

Remember everyone who is out there defending cold-blooded murder. They’ve shown you exactly who they are.

These ICEmen know no shame. But this woman does a damn good job of shaming them anyway.

@radiofreetom.bsky.social pegged Vance back in 2021 with this piece on The Atlantic. (gifted) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Sec. Noem said two things of note: that this was an act of domestic terrorism, and that we need to work together to remove these criminals from our streets ICE and its allied militia are the criminals, and they committed the act of terrorism

AOC: ICE has less accountability than virtually any law enforcement agency in the U.S., yet they are some of the most well-funded, operating with impunity—and we just saw them murder an American citizen in cold blood in the street.

Trump's fixation on aligning America with the Western Hemisphere surfaced early in his term, after renaming the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. Now the question is: How many more countries does he want/plan to control? Will the U.S. military go along with his illegal orders?

Be aware that you may be under constant surveillance if ICE is in your area. Here's how they track you.

Why the economics of seizing Venezuela's oil don't add up to much: It will cost $20B to refurbish oil production to boost output by half a million barrels a day. At $50/barrel, that's a small reward for Big Oil companies, argues Greg Ip in this pragmatic analysis piece: www.wsj.com/business/ene...

How America's influence in the world is collapsing.

Sadly Onion posts are becoming more and more believable for the sole reason this government is so unhinged, they go beyond what Onion could even come up with some days.

Since Dec. 24, a postmark no longer shows the date you deposited a piece of mail with the U.S. Postal Service, impacting everyone filing tax returns to students applying to college. For decades, postmarks served as legal evidence of when an individual met a deadline. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

JD Vance is a very sick and deranged man!

Are we really doomed to repeat history? I grew up in an America that was better than this. My father went to war (in WWII) to fight against evil like this. Why do so many Americans now believe this is OK? Thank God for every American who doesn't — and is willing to stand up against this!!

After decades of Republicans trying to shut down CPB, suggesting that Americans were “paying taxes involuntarily to subsidize something which told them how they should think," they succeeded. Now we're stuck with Republicans telling us we should think. www.publicnotice.co/p/corporatio...

The Trump Administration is planning to gut emergency workers and disaster preparation efforts. As we mark one year since some of California’s worst fires, this will make our communities less safe and more prone to repeat disasters.

This happened because Americans believed Donald Trump would restore economic fairness & push out elite liberals —when in fact, he used grievances & lies to take over the White House. Now America is run by a narcissistic mob boss with the US military at his disposal, making billions for himself.

WATCH THESE VIDEOS of the murder from various angles. Clarity. Again, Trump & his thugs are lying, we all know that. They need to be prosecuted. #Minneapolis www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

WITNESS: "I just can't let this narrative of self-defense go any further. That’s absolutely not what it was… ICE agents didn’t let anyone help her for 15 minutes, then medics couldn’t get through with their ambulance.”

The Republicans' decision to vote this down just reveals what weak-willed cowards they are, and how divorced they are from any sense of doing what's right & just in this country.

Yesterday, an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Nicole Good. We know what we saw: A mother, a daughter, a wife, and a U.S. citizen killed in her own community.

“'The guy, I’m telling him like, "Please step off the school grounds," and this dude comes up and bumps into me and then tells me that I pushed him, and he knocked me down,' an official at Roosevelt High School said. 'They don’t care. They’re just animals. I’ve never seen people behave like this.'"

“Trump is tough with the weak but weak with the tough. The only people for whom he has respect are Putin & [Chinese leader Xi Jinping]." – Raphaël Glucksmann, member of the European Parliament, in call for European nations to deploy troops in support of Greenland.

Reformed January 6th participant (who refused a pardon): “You can't gaslight me. I was there. I saw the officers being pepper sprayed. I watched one of them fall down and hit his head and his back. So don't be telling me it wasn't violent.”

Yes never forget! But we can’t allow Trump and MAGA to rewrite thus sad chapter in American history by calling it a peace protest.

.@PabloReports: What do you make of the White House blaming the police for what happened on January 6th? Lieu: The White House’s statement is batshit crazy.

“Far from making us more powerful, the pursuit of American dominance will make us weaker, eventually leaving us with no sphere, and no influence, at all,” @anneapplebaum argues: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Meanwhile while Trump is launching an illegal war (timed to distract from the Epstein fines?) it’s easy to overlook another disaster in the making… www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
