Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless. Remember this.

The Prime Minister of Belgium speaks:

President Trump, in a speech at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland on Wednesday, took a direct swipe at Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada, who the previous day had described an end to the U.S.-led world order and called on middle powers to band together.

It's a wonderful feeling when 5 years of research and writing comes to fruition. The thought that immediately follows is that the work is not done because you now have to promote it. I am grateful for all the help I received along the way. #HeDidNotConquer #Dundurn #cdaUS #cdnpoli #Canada250

'Arenig, Sunset.' In 1911, James Dickson Innes accompanied Derwent Lees and Augustus John to Arenig Fawr, a mountain in Snowdonia, North Wales; it was soon after he had returned from the south of France. In this work, he has painted Wales as if he were still in the Mediterranean.

Headline/chyron if this were happening in a foreign country: "Far right president calls for arrest of opposition party provincial governor, raising further questions about democracy & the rule of law" Headline/chyron when this happens in 🇺🇸: "Trump Takes Questions As He Returns To The White House"
