Incredible podcast on what killed the American Dream, esp. for white men who created the MAGA crisis. A big contributing factor was the Reagan Revolution "greed is good" defunding schools, worsening education quality--a major factor of social mobility www.economist.com/podcasts/202...

The White House sticking to the line that military is an option in Greenland

Great interview @shashj.bsky.social - & a super way to get a clearer understanding of Helsing’s vision, how we’re supplying Ukraine with advanced strike drones & building the capabilities that Europe needs for effective deterrence. Europe has the tools to take our future in our hands.

For Inside Defence, I interviewed Torsten Reil, the co-founder of the defence-tech firm Helsing. We talked about competing visions of the future of war, ethical dilemmas around autonomy & AI & whether Europe's defence industry needs US-free supply chains. www.economist.com/insider/insi...

Five years ago today, we named specific Coloradans who stoked election rigging claims and tried to overthrow the election. “What those Coloradans did, leading up to today’s insurrection, is on them. Whether the rest of us on Colorado remember what they did, is on us.” This aired Jan 6, 2021.

Trying their “best” to normalize being illegal invaders and warmongers, just like their heroes Putin and Russia.

Given all of the activity around Russia and Ukraine, I’m re-posting my 2022 backgrounder titled “What’s All the Fuss About Ukraine?” Paywall removed. jennycohn1.medium.com/whats-all-th...

Seeing as it’s the 5 year anniversary of Jan 6, & attempts to re-write what occurred continue unabated, I’m re-upping part 7 of my series about Roger Stone & his miscreants. It documents w/ screen shots & quotes much of what transpired. We cannot let them re-write history. @buckscountybeacon.com. 1/

Some might be tempted to think Mark Lutter’s “charter city” proposal for Venezuela is reasonable. Many such people are unaware of the ideology of the men—eg, Palantir co-founders Peter Thiel & Joe Lonsdale & Thiel Fellowship co-founder Michael Gibson —who fund or otherwise promote Lutter’s work. 1/

Freedom City = Charter City = Network State =

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot. It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

40% of Americans didn’t read a book last year. Congratulations to the 4% who read 50 or more though.

1️⃣ Let’s be clear: Texas launched a political purge of educators. After Charlie Kirk’s assassination, the state encouraged districts to scour teachers’ private social media, triggering 350+ investigations, suspensions, & firings. This was intimidation. It was the state punishing thought.

📢 Free speech is free speech. Educators across Texas have been retaliated against for constitutionally protected speech that had no bearing on job performance and no impact on their classrooms. Read more about our lawsuit against TEA in the New York Times article below 👇

We cannot let anyone rewrite this history. Jan 6th was violent. Police were murdered by domestic terrorists trying to overthrow the results of a free and fair election. And it’s shameful that the insurrectionists have been pardoned. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/05/u...

Remember this

I'm glad that Democrats are standing firm for truth about Jan 6th today. They are live streaming expert witnesses, including Republicans, police and people who participated in the insurrection. www.youtube.com/live/EUEmzBY...

You don’t lose your right to express yourself the day you become a teacher. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/06/u...

Educators devote themselves to meeting the needs of kids. They need support & clarity, not shaming, star chambers & state-run snitch lines. Sadly, TX officials decided to exploit Mr. Kirk’s heinous murder & fire teachers for their non classroom speech. @texasaft.org www.nytimes.com/2026/01/06/u...

For more about the lawsuit: www.aft.org/press-releas...

TX's actions are a transparent effort to smear & shame educators, divide our communities, & deny our kids opportunities to learn and thrive. They are a state-sponsored attack on teachers because of what they thought were private comments to friends & family. @TexasAFT.org www.aft.org/press-releas...

Even if we think some speech is noxious, defending one’s right to speak is the essence of our democracy. You don’t lose your constitutional rights when you decide to become a teacher—the Constitution, for it to have meaning, must work for all Americans, not just some. www.aft.org/press-releas...

Teachers pour their heart and soul into their work with kids. They should be judged on that work, not some culture war that exploits horrific violence for political ends. www.aft.org/press-releas...

Wow! The white house saw a very different angle than I did!! Total rewrite of history 😒

Mark Kelly vs. Trump’s Pentagon: Why This Attack on a Veteran Senator Could Backfire and Help Democrats. And Why Isn’t Barron Trump Enlisting? I joined Chris Jansing on MSNow today with more: youtu.be/j6zwOu1dweU

On this 5-year anniversary of January 6th, let’s all remember that we are not immune from coups and insurrections. We are not immune from authoritarianism. Preventing them from happening in the U.S. requires all of us pay attention and do something to protect democracy.

Less than 1% of the Epstein files released so far, DOJ says www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...

France and the UK formally commit to putting boots on the ground inside Ukraine after an eventual ceasefire. Meanwhile, the Coalition of the Willing moves closer to an Article 5-like guarantee to assist Ukraine against Russia. My recap of the meeting.

After insurrectionists stormed and trashed the capitol on January 6, Senator Andy Kim got on his knees and cleaned up the mess they left. @michellekinney.com and I spoke to him about that day and where he thinks our democracy is headed now. Watch here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sdZ...

#NeverForget #Jan6

For five years, Trump has whitewashed the Jan. 6 insurrection, culminating with him freeing roughly 1,500 criminals. But make no mistake: it was a devastating extremist attack on our republic—and it was led by him. The deep evidence, plus a thread on his lies 👉 www.motherjones.com/politics/202... 1x

I talked to @sykescharlie.bsky.social about Stephen Miller, Venezuela, Minnesota, and MUCH more!

January 6th should have been the end of the Republican party, but Democrats didn't punish them hard enough or denounce them for what they were strongly enough & with a sustained daily barrage. They are lawless traitors & terrorists or terrorist apologists.

"If you were really going to go after Maduro on international narcoterrorism charges, you would do it through the International Criminal Court, right?" @scottlucas.bsky.social talks #Trump #VenezuelaCrisis with @goldbergradio.bsky.social @bylinetimes.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/o...

It is January 6, 2026, and the Trump DOJ continues to violate the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Trump incited the Jan. 6 insurrection, in hopes of interrupting certification of the 2020 election & destruction of ballots. He got nearly $60M in settlements from platforms for their removing his accounts in the days after. Bolsonaro incited a coup in Brazil and got 27 years in prison.

“The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." "And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed-if all records told the same tale-then the lie passed into history and became truth” -1984

The aftermath of Jan 6 is a story of power protecting power and a deep-seated reluctance to holding elites accountable. America has constructed two justice systems: one offering extraordinary leniency for the elite, the other operating with swift severity for the disadvantaged.

FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history. Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

Important thread

"Greenland belongs to its people, and only Denmark and Greenland can decide on matters concerning their relations," the leaders of the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, and Denmark said in a joint statement. - We need more of this! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The whole world knows that Jan 6, 2021 was a violent and deadly insurrection and everyone involved should be in prison. That includes Donald Trump.

These images are every bit as shocking, infuriating and heartbreaking five years later.

Five years ago, Donald Trump tried to overturn the results of a free and fair election by inciting the violence that led to the Jan. 6 insurrection. Today, his attacks on our democracy continue. We must learn from that day and do everything we can to ensure it never repeats.

When we published this story a year ago, I received lots of hate mail — including one message saying I was "worse than Hitler" for even considering that Trump could actually annex Greenland by force. Fast forward to today: That's a very real risk. www.politico.eu/article/dona...
