Someone is already vying for the 2026 John Lewis good trouble award! Visit www.trumpkennedycenter.org I made up that award, but there should be one.

Do any of y'all have friends in Morocco at the moment? Specifically Rabat? There are a couple of manuscripts in the Khazinat al-Ammah that I'd like to get eyes on and possibly images of, but the budget doesn't stretch to plane tickets. #medievalsky #research #academicsky

7 January 1926 | Polish Jewish girl Fajgla Kilsztajn was born in Będzin. In 1942 she was deported from the ghetto in Kamionka to #Auschwitz. She did not survive. --- ▶ Video about the first two gas chambers created near Auschwitz II-Birkenau: https://youtu.be/Rr6lF75fDmU

I'm on Bluesky! Apparently it is not always terrible here! But what the government is up to is terrible so I made a round up of all the upcoming bills you can submit on #nzpol #kikorangi www.emilywrites.co.nz/ok/

It's even (much) worse .. "Norway 2025 sales is up", yeah. Because the same Model Y in Norway 2026 now costs .. up to $ 15500 EXTRA ;) (Taxes, so Tesla in despair pushed everything to 2025 ;) EU 2025: VW group sold .. 29.6% (!) of all EU EVs Tesla sold .. 9.2% (down from .. 17,4% in EU 2023)

"We tried to tell y'all." – Ancient African-American proverb

What the fuck

I want to see how Hollywood portrays the US as the savior of the world and protector of freedom in the coming years: they will be Oscar-worthy comedies

Israeli soldiers invaded Birzeit University today in the West Bank, halting classes to fire live ammunition at students, wounding at least 11 people. Why? A student demonstration in solidarity with Palestinian prisoners, and a film screening of the Voice of Hind Rajab.

It’s great that the champions and defenders of Western Culture are censoring Plato. The moral panic over accurately teaching about American racism was always about disciplining professors in general. We’re a check on propaganda, which propagandists hate.

Piracy. 🏴‍☠️ — And by “to benefit the people” he means himself and his friends.

Baybeeeee we love to see it. Pay this man

Trump today making sure the United States is “respected again”

@theonion.com doesn’t miss.

Sitting in this hearing and shit its like reliving it all over again...

Decided to put some thoughts on paper for this "anniversary" of January 6th

Officers like @libradunn1.bsky.social saved my life and my colleagues’ lives on January 6th. I’m forever grateful to the law enforcement officials who courageously defended our Capitol and our democracy from the armed insurrectionists.

“Putin envisions a world in which a small group of imperialists loot their portions of the globe as they see fit. Trump has been envious of this model for a long time. He’s implementing it himself in the Western hemisphere.” -an expert on global oligarchy, to me 3/ newrepublic.com/article/2049...

Trump floats the idea of canceling future elections

The American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want - But inflation! But wokeness! - but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made

Its whereabouts aren't publicly known, though it's believed to be in storage. n.pr/3YWyTJY

"If you want to know who took all of your money, it's the people with all of the money." I keep thinking about this post and how it's one of the best, most succinct messages Democrats could use in 2026 campaigns.

Look you guys need to stop talking about whether or not Venezuela is happening “to get the oil”. You just have to stop. He said it. He keeps saying it. It’s for the oil. Now whether or not that oil is viable or profitable is beside the point. He doesn’t care. He’s doing this for the oil.

MAGA influencer Laura Loomer faced backlash online after she concluded that Gov. Kathy Hochul's (D-NY) cashmere scarf with a houndstooth pattern was an Islamic threat.

Avec celui-ci, ces dessins marqueront le début de 2026 et ce qui suivra probablement, si rien ne parvient à les stopper…

CNN put together a montage of Trump being vocally against regime change before he fell in love with it

If the DEA had killed 80 innocent Americans in the course of apprehending one drug dealer, there would be riots. But we are so ghoulishly indifferent to the lives and humanity of people abroad that it's barely even part of the conversation.

35 years as a physician. I remember when children died without these vaccines. I never thought I'd have to talk to a grieving parent following a child's death from a preventable disease again, but here we are.

TAPPER: Can you rule out the US is going to take Greenland by force? MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO T: So force is on the table? M: Nobody is gonna fight the US militarily over future of Greenland

MILLER: The US is using its military to secure our interests unapologetically in our hemisphere. We're a superpower. It's absurd we'd allow a nation in our backyard to become a supplier of resources to our adversaries TAPPER: Sovereign countries shouldn't be able to do what they want? M: *yells*

I am ideologically opposed to this guy because he is a fashion guy and fashion is a tool of elite oppression, but also, he is possibly the greatest poaster of our era

This is so fucking reckless and dangerous, I just can’t.

For those of us not in the cult, this is what we hear when anyone from the Trump administration speaks. For the people in the back, this is satire and so well done…

"America is an oil company with an army". George Carlin

I remember when they were saying they were powerless to return a man they illegally sent to an El Salvador gulag because it would violate that country's national sovereignty.

I want to remind everyone that the US has sanctioned members of the International Criminal Court for going through a formal legal process to identify international leaders who engaged in war crimes, making them vulnerable to arrest.

Typically when the US embarks on an illegal or dubiously legal regime change we use noble words about democracy, rule of law, spreading freedom, etc. to justify our actions. Trump has not done that. He offers few noble words as eulogistic covering. It's a crass power & oil grab, according to Trump.

A “Secretary of State” who’s not read into the pardon of a foreign head of state sitting in an American prison is not the Secretary of State. So you can stop interviewing him. (Again.)

The VP of Venezuela is now running the country with literally a gun pointed to her head by Trump’s military. That is how Trump will “run” Venezuela

We will either end fossil fuel dependency and the predatory extractivist basis of global production, or they will end us through wars and ecological collapse - all at the same time.

this short video explainer Ed Conway re Venezuelan oil situation I find quite interesting youtu.be/Pgwny1BiCYk?...

There is no global authority that can police the United States. The law restrains us only if we choose to be restrained. When Congress refuses to act, when courts stay silent, when we bomb nations and announce colonial rule impunity isn't an accident. It's policy. This is empire.

Zelensky on Venezuela: “About Venezuela? How should I respond to that? Well, what can I say? If… If it is possible to act with dictators like this, it means the United States knows what to do next. Thank you” Omg I love it.
