“Spending three days on the ground in Minneapolis brought home something that may not be obvious from afar: Minnesota, especially the Twin Cities, has been—and still is—under a paramilitary occupation in which the federal government is at war with the population.” www.thebulwark.com/p/what-i-saw...

She never lived to see this moment, but it’s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre. She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrew’s. Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.

There is no reason to believe Trump's foreign policy is designed to benefit America or Americans www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

During her 11 months as the de facto leader of the U.S. Agency for Global Media, Kari Lake has wasted millions of dollars and done profound damage to America’s foreign broadcasters, and to America’s ability to communicate with the world www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Yesterday I accidentially destroyed my website while trying to fix the blog that never worked. But, after a couple of minutes of panic I built everything back up again with a new theme (from 2012, very minimalistic, haha). And now even the blog works, yay! Have a look! :-) everything-german.net

A thread of MAGA protesting with guns and not getting murdered for it... Arizona, November 2020

“Please get the truth out about our son.” Read and share the statement from the parents of Alex Pretti, the VA ICU nurse who was shot and killed by border patrol.

AND IMPEACH AND REMOVE. We need to clamor for that even if the votes aren't there—yet.

Adi and Flauschi in the garden. I'll go back to my winter home in Austria tomorrow, and I already miss my strays so much. They are getting huge piles of treats today. #catsofbluesky #crazycatlady #cats

Release the boat videos. Release the Epstein files. Release the ICE and Border Patrol body-cam footage. Justice Brandeis: "Sunlight is the best disinfectant." And there's so much the Trump administration's doing that needs disinfecting.

Hegseth's tough-guy act is diminishing our military and our society - and it's using the military as a venue for performing culture war in partisan politics. None of this is good. @markhertling.bsky.social discusses the boat strikes and more with Ben Parker:

The billionaires and the corporations are taking all of the goodies. Keeping all the good things for themselves. They are scooping out all of the big pieces -- licked their spoons clean. They are mounding over their plates over and sneaking away. jesspiper.substack.com/p/the-goodies

Great new newsletter from @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social. Please, my American friends, boycott these companies, if you can. Of the companies mentioned in the article only Amazon is active here where I am, and I'm already avoiding them as much as I can.

1) Start the worst European war since 1945 and commit every imaginable war crime 2) Decide how you want to be rewarded for your aggression 3) Leak the list of your desiderata to the US press 4) Wait for the US president to enforce your wish list on your victim. Russian policy 2025

It really is disgusting that Trump can insult, berate, single out, threaten, and demean female reporters on a daily basis for asking fair and legitimate questions and you can’t find a single Republican woman in Congress to say it is inappropriate behavior.

One of the things I can't get over is Christians like Mike Johnson....What do you think Mike Johnson's doing? How do people, if they know this stuff about Trump is in there, how can they cover for him? How can they live with themselves?" @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social and @eggerdc.bsky.social:
