Stephen Miller on Fox threatens to arrest JB Pritzker for "seditious conspiracy" and says, "to all ICE officers: you have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. And anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop or obstruct you is committing a felony."

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

He thinks he could demolish 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and not lose any voters.

JIP, the new coalition partner of the LDP in the Japanese government, argues for cutting the number of seats in the lower house due to a falling population. This is not why they are doing it and the reason given doesn't make sense. 1/3

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase. The President is building an army to attack his own country.

Demolishing the White House is the perfect metaphor for the Trump administration.

The Reichstag also only met 12 times between 1933 and 1939.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

I have a feeling you’re not in Kansas anymore.

A 3,000-pound, 17-foot-long "DEMOCRACY" ice sculpture is melting away on the National Mall today, a statement from activists and artists on the weakened state of American democracy under the Trump administration. www.huffpost.com/entry/democr...

It's not just about stopping Trump. Do you really think that if Republicans keep control of Congress that they're going to certify an election in 2028 if they don't like the results?

Are we in an AI bubble? As I wrote in December last year: "Experience from previous technology revolutions – electric light, railways, the Internet, blockchain – suggests we could be in for a bumpy ride."

On October 18th, millions of brave Americans will stand up and peacefully protest against the authoritarian disease metastasizing under Donald Trump. No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings. @gtconway.bsky.social

It all hinges on batteries. Toyota's 2023 EV roadmap expects its so called "Popularisation" LFP batteries to be launched in 2026-2027. LFP would make sense for a mass market model. This tells me that, realistically, we won't be seeing a production Corolla EV before another 2 years from now.

Today I donated to Wikipedia. In this world of oligarch-owned media, it is a priceless source of important information that they do not control.

Amazing what happens when you give the guy a plane

Current Taiwan wargames may be preparing for the wrong war.

Japan, ostensibly one of the least religious countries in the world, had its political order upended by the lay Buddhist organization Soka Gakkai. That is THE story about Friday's epochal shift in Japanese politics (thread follows):

Der Druck wird größer: Das zweite Bundesland nach Bremen, das beim #AfDVerbot offiziell an Bord sein wird, wird wohl Schleswig-Holstein sein: Dort haben CDU, Grüne, SPD & SSW einen Antrag unterzeichnet, dass sie das AfD-Verbot beantragen wollen. Die Diskussion ist lange nicht vorbei, im Gegenteil.

It's not Portland that is burning, but the house of a judge who ruled against Trump. She had blocked the DOJ from gaining access to the data millions of SC voters.

Judge Diane Goodstein crossed the Trump administration last month. Yesterday, her home burned, her husband was injured and it's being investigated for arson. www.postandcourier.com/news/crime/s...

Somewhere in America, a young Hispanic girl is hiding in an attic writing a diary.

It's autocracy, but produced for a reality TV audience.

The former, easily. The GOP has been continually hyping themselves up to pretend like they’re going to push back against all the illegal shit Trump is doing. They obviously aren’t going to do that with Trump, but they will with Vance - they aren’t afraid of him, and he has no real base.

"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me." Matthew 25:35-36

PETE: “Blowing up boats off the coast of Venezuela, renaming the DOD the Department of War… Trump came in saying he’s peace guy, but he’s posting ‘Apocalypse Now’ memes about making war on Chicago. He’s not exactly a peacenik.”

Traitorous Petey Kegsbreath, the Secretary of Clownish Behavior, refuses to answer when questioned by Senator Elissa Slotkin on whether he would, or has, ordered US troops to use lethal force on unarmed protesters.

Putin not Musk is probably the richest man on earth but that only makes the point stronger — control of media by oligarchs leads to folly, fascism, and war

"21 May 1935, German Defense Minister Blomberg - the one who had summoned his generals to take the new Führer loyalty oath - renamed the German Defense Ministry… wait for it… the “Ministry of War” (Reichskriegministerium). "

Is the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty dead yet? With Russia invading denuclearized Ukraine and the US de-facto abandoning NATO, it is only a matter of time when other countries will go for nuclear weapons. Who will be next after Saudi Arabia and/or Iran? South Korea, Taiwan, Japan?

OLIVER: “In Russia, when Putin rose to power, TV satirists were among his first targets… Putin was driven to madness by how he was mocked on a puppet show… the lesson is it’s not safe to let one show slide because there are currently others.”

Bloomberg reports that 🇨🇳 has been stockpiling $10B of oil in 2025. The IEA says "China absorbed over 90% of the global stockpiling". Why? Oil is currently cheap and 🇨🇳 is buying fewer US bonds. Could also be to prepare for supply disruption when 🇨🇳 attacks 🇹🇼. www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2...

Time to stop this US nonsense of secondary sanctions against countries buying Russian oil & gas, but no new US sanctions against Russia. 1. Only 2 EU countries buy oil from Russia - Trump's friends Hungary & Slovakia. He could talk to their leaders. The rest of EU oppose their... /1

Rodrigo Duterte and Donald Trump had a lot in common. Some people called Duterte the "Trump of the East". Some 12,000-30,000 civilians were murdered during the Philippine Drug war that he launched. On March 11, 2025 he was arrested and extradited to the ICC in The Hague for crimes against humanity.

When Trump accused Biden of 'weaponization' of the justice system, it was always projection: It's what Trump would have done in his place and is doing now. He needs to be impeached.

BREAKING: Hitler designates anti-fascist forces "A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION".

Japan could cover the majority of its power needs from renewables like wind and solar, but then nobody would make money running a tanker fleet, would they? Half of all global shipping is global trade in oil, coal and fossil gas. Japan is still firmly stuck in the previous century.
