In August, I reported how people who plan attacks and mass murder without an ideological motive are falling through a gap in British law Today, an 18-year-old boy planning a Southport-style attack was jailed, but only for possessing documents and not the actual plot www.nytimes.com/2025/08/19/w...

Over the weekend, the White House and the Department of Homeland Security shared posts with a song, "We'll Have Our Home Again." I dug into the group that performed and popularized it. Its cofounder said his goal was to create "the seed of an eventual government." www.splcenter.org/resources/ha...

Had us scared of murder-obsessed illegal aliens this whole time, but look who's doing the actual killing.

Never forget that without Trump, these are people who would never have been within a million miles of any job that carries serious responsibilities - and they know it.

Breaking: NYT now says *six* federal prosecutors in Minnesota have just resigned over the Justice Department's push to investigate the widow of Renee Good and the department's reluctance to investigate the ICE agent who shot Good, according to people with knowledge of their decision.

On the killing of Renee Nicole Good, I just published a piece in @foreignpolicy.com arguing the Trump administration is weaponizing the narrative of “vehicular terrorism” as a shortcut to justify an unlawful killing: “death squad logic, adapted to American streets” foreignpolicy.com/2026/01/13/v...

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-...

This is exactly right. It's a reward for murder.

Swastika Night is an incredibly disturbing and necessary read, especially now

von Däniken relied on the JAQ (just asking questions) method to promote racist ideas through pseudoarchaeological narratives. These ideas permeated all of his books, were broadcast to and normalized through enormous audiences over decades, and have even found homes in far-right places.

The NIH has lost its scientific integrity. So we left www.statnews.com/2026/01/10/n... via @statnews.com The complete collapse of the NIH, CDC, and FDA is so tragic and damaging to not only the U.S., but the world... Dark Age 2.0.

Mississippi’s largest synagogue was set on fire before dawn Saturday. Fire department ruled it arson, and a suspect has been arrested. It is the same synagogue that the Ku Klux Klan bombed in 1967 because the rabbi supported civil rights. mississippitoday.org/2026/01/10/f...

My interview on CBC's Power and Politics: because of growing street protests & heavy geopolitical losses, the Islamic Republic is in a heavily vulnerable position. Regime collapse is not imminent, but this is extremely hard to predict. -@DavidWCochrane www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtgE...

Dear Canadian MPs... (...and everyone else)

The International Court of Justice will open public hearings in the genocide case brought by the Gambia against Myanmar next week. Here is the first of what I hope will be a series of analytical pieces on some technical legal issues which the Court may wish to address.

This is the one "factually true but people are convinced of the opposite" thing that I never get over.

I've been watching this happen on the left and right for some time, and it always leaves a trail of harm impacting innocent people. Just stop.

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

We've analysed this video of the shooting of Renee Nicole Good yesterday in Minneapolis frame-by-frame to highlight the positioning of the gun and phone in the ICE agent's hands. Video: @minnesotareformer.com with annotations by Bellingcat

I got some pronouns for this fucker too.

Black people five years ago: you know, they can kill anyone they want to out there Everybody today: hot damn, did you know they can kill anyone they want to out there?

The incessant need to justify the regime's actions is so absolutely pathetic. According to DHS' own guidelines, lethal force is prohibited against a moving vehicle unless strictly necessary. It is not true that the cops are allowed to kill you if you don't stop. torontosun.com/news/world/i...

Canada should be first in line to sign such statements.

Tomorrow is the 5th anniversary of the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol. I’m proud of the work we did on the House January 6th Committee. January 6th should’ve been the end of a political movement based on a cult of personality, conspiracism, extremism & lies. Instead, it is now in power.

My latest with @ichotiner.bsky.social.

"The dangerous thing here is the idea that a President can just decide that a leader is not legitimate and then invade the country and presumably put someone in power who is favored by the Administration. If that were the case, that’s the end of international law"

Tupac tried to scold y'all

Maduro rockin Nike tech on a military plane is an image

I’m thinking this morning about all the people I spoke to last year who were absolutely convinced, and tried to convince me, that Trump would be antiwar compared to Biden and Harris. In the past week alone he has attacked Nigeria and then Venezuela and also threatened to attack Iran (again).

It is beyond time for scrutiny of Canada's terrorism listings process. This process is protected, almost entirely, under Cabinet Confidence, meaning that there is little possibility of public scrutiny through access to information requests. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

This all seems pretty unbecoming of a FIFA Peace Prize winner

Please respect international law, starting riiiiiiiight now.

I see we're debating the agency of children in terrorism again. It's interesting: in this case, the use of "females". Could have said "woman" (if he really believed she was an adult at 15) or could have said "girl, but of course that would undermine his position.

We had congressional hearings when parents just suspected heavy metal was leading some kids to suicide.

Living in the panopticon means exactly this. Everyone behaves as if they are being watched and judged at all times, regardless of whether it’s actually happening.

From @parkermolloy.com at New Republic. newrepublic.com/article/2047... I'd go a bit further. The system needs no conspiracy to function. It just needs everyone to understand the direction things are going in. Bari Weiss was put there not to protect a legacy, but to align its politics differently.

Merry Donald J. Trump Christmas everyone.

The 60 Minutes Story The Trump Administration Doesn't Want You To See youtu.be/jiehEMlNiCI?...

CBS is cooked. It's been a few decades coming but we are witnessing the death of American journalism. Nothing good follows in the aftermath of that.

No one is going to tune in to CBS because they know it won’t be critical of Trump but lots of people will tune out for that reason. Spiking the CECOT story to curry favor is a terrible moral and journalistic decision — but it’s also a terrible business decision.
