Looks like the EU-US trade deal is now dead, with all three major groups in the EU Parliament calling at least for suspension. The downward spiral has already begun.

My last two shots before my world went dark.

Very excited to announce our Fall 2026 books via our newsletter today. And now here! BLUE SUNSET by Denise Rose Hansen and WHAT REMAINS by Brais Lamela (trans by Jacob Rogers) will be out Oct 6, 2026! Read more about these two wonderful new novels at our website: dorothyproject.com/books-gallery/

The images and stories coming out of Minneapolis are extraordinary. We can't say we did not know what was happening. Lots of people are putting their bodies on the line to make sure we do.

Wild how they're not even bothering with the states with the highest crime rates, only the ones that overwhelmingly don't like Trump.

"In this story I will try to describe an event around the year 400 before the beginning of the Western era, and at that time it should be forested with cedar ..." The Flight to Nineveh — Steinar Løding (tr. Jordan Barger) minorliteratures.com/2026/01/15/t...

Essentially ICE is the Proud Boys with Governmental Authority

The thing that really makes Minneapolis different, other than the fact that they straight up murdered someone, is that they've dropped all pretense that this is just about immigration. The state has declared war on its own people, or at least those people who live in cities.

BREAKING: Senate Republicans just blocked the clean ACA tax credit extension that the House passed to save millions of people thousands of dollars each. If you’re paying double or even triple for health insurance, blame Trump and the Senate GOP.

KO'ing everyone's 401k the week they started bragging about murdering citizens in the street on camera is the behavior of people who are on actual drugs. Not metaphorically, it's the behavior of people with underlying mental illness on uppers and steroids who are starting to feel cornered.

Is that bad? Seems like it’s bad. Maybe an existential threat to democracy? Who knows? The NYT doesn’t seem like it really meant that “Every Day is Jan. 6 now” bsky.app/profile/mcop...

Common Sense, published 250 years ago today.

These 10 companies stand to rake in $1 billion by 2027 by helping ICE track down and round up immigrants. Cashing in on cruelty.

It’s beyond insane that our overarching internal security agency has spent months tweeting barely-coded messages of support for neo-Nazi groups and the entire media apparatus looks at it and says “That’s odd but certainly not part a major story that is relevant to current events, I’m sure”

Not my beat but - we need to talk about George Floyd a lot more this week in light of what's happening in Minneapolis.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

That’s how you do it 👏

✊ DC!

I'm monitoring first awful reports of two people shot in Portland by federal law enforcement. I'll keep you updated, but Trump's deployment of federal agents in my hometown is clearly inflaming violence — and must end.

Why Greenland? "Peter Thiel, who wants to set up crypto-empowered 'network states' on undeveloped territory, has invested in Praxis, a start-up that aims to do just that and which has scouted Greenland. Trump’s ambassador to Denmark, Ken Howery, was a co-founder with Thiel and Elon Musk of PayPal."

Feels like when the Pope and the paper of record for your faith repeatedly tell you you’re full of shit you might be full of shit

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

New: we've obtained material explaining how an ICE surveillance system, called Webloc, works. Draw shape on a map, see all phones available there, follow them home. All without warrant “This is a very dangerous tool in the hands of an out-of-control agency.” www.404media.co/inside-ices-...

AOC: What we saw today was a criminal murder a woman while she was trying to flee for her life. What we saw today was a manifestation of every American’s worst nightmare: their government turning into a tyranny.

Make it viral.

10,000 people honoring Renee Nicole Good at the site of her murder

“ICE kills Good” is awfully on-the-nose.

I will be speaking at this tonight.

ICE also shot and killed an unarmed 38-year-old in Illinois in September and lied about what happened

Democrats cannot vote for a DHS budget that doesn’t restrain the growing lawlessness of this agency.

OUT: Helping you pay for health care. IN: Helping oil companies pay for their infrastructure in a foreign country.

Big Oil spent nearly $100M to get Trump elected in 2024. Now Trump is returning the favor, giving them advance notice of his Venezuela attack and sending their stocks skyrocketing by promising them control of the country's oil reserves. This is what oligarchy looks like.

When a gang leader takes out a rival to seize turf, no one pretends it’s justified just because the rival was awful. Trump said he did it for the oil. Why is the media foregrounding humanitarian motives?

The president unilaterally decided to attack a sovereign nation and kidnap its leader, and now he says he's just going to run that county himself for a while too. Call your representatives now and demand they impeach him.

uh holy SHIT?

They're going to *throw out* one-of-a-kind NASA archives?! Not even a year since the Inauguration & we're already at the 2nd-time-as-farce version of the burning of the Library of Alexandria.

Ask yourself: If Donald Trump was a Russian asset, what would he be doing differently? If your answer is “nothing,” then ask yourself this: If the US President is a Russian asset, what should *I* be doing differently?

I did not understand this: one of the five Europeans the US has barred from traveling to the United States...is a permanent resident who lives with his family in the US. Now he is worried about being arrested and deported for the crime of monitoring online hate. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/25/u...

ICE has posted a video of Santa Claus arresting immigrants. Your government is hijacking a symbol of charity to spread fear and hate. it’s up to all of us to defeat these twisted fascists.

DC residents have been refusing to call that airport anything but National for almost thirty years, we certainly can refuse to call that arts center anything but the Kennedy Center for three

Hard no to this: French publisher Harlequin has told translators that their work will now be done by AI. They can ‘revise’ AI translations at much lower rate. It’s a subsidiary of Harper Collins so treat this as a test for rollout elsewhere
