The surveillance empire that tracked world leaders, a Vatican enemy, and maybe you

Q: What did you mean when you said you're prepared to send 'more than the National Guard' into American cities? TRUMP: if I want to enact a certain act, I'd be allowed to do whatever I want. The courts wouldn't get involved. Nobody would. I could send Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines -anybody I want

Election denial figures in podcast interviews & social media have been calling for Trump to declare a “national emergency” to prevent supposed election fraud. One of them, Jerome Corsi, has claimed he’s involved in drafting an executive order “to be implemented for the" 2026 midterms. My latest:

"Real working-class politics does not assume the worst of working-class people’s impulses. It does not launder their concerns for political points. It certainly does not argue, directly or indirectly, that a little racism is a good thing for reaching them."

Die Energie der tropischen Wirbestürme kommt aus der Wärme der Ozeane. Deshalb werden Hurricane unter globaler Erwärmung stärker. Für die Zerstörungskraft sind relevant: Windgeschwindigkeit Wassermenge Langsamkeit entlang der Bahn Ab Min. 4 wird es interessanter. www.tagesschau.de/video/video-...

Melissa likely the strongest ever hurricane to hit #Cuba Hundreds of thousands of people evacuated to shelters in eastern Cuba ahead of landfall early today 🚨The hurricane could worsen Cuba's severe economic crisis, which already has led to prolonged power blackouts, fuel shortages➕food shortages💔

I mean maybe just maybe that is the very heart of the problem in America right now. Not enough Aunties for all these whiny men. The aunties would indeed be older women who would love and nurture but also put them in their place real quick.

Of great interest

2/2 The U.S. lacks both the staying power and specialized training for sustained operations in one of the world’s harshest operating environments.

1/2 The Pentagon’s current Arctic “monitor-and-respond” posture is emblematic of America’s broader belief in decisive wars, quick victories, and reliance on technological overmatch. In the Arctic, however, this reactive approach is sure to fail.

"We’ve never seen anything like this before.” @jacobsilverman.com on the shocking scale of Trump’s crypto corruption It’s a system where foreign actors know “it is in your direct political interest to buy Mr. Trump’s tokens or invest” in his crypto scams. gift link www.nytimes.com/2025/10/17/o...

The Oregonians interviewed a guy who Republicans have accused of running an “Antifa safe house.” The levels of MAGA derangement about Portland are truly off the charts.

Americans are on the verge of losing their ability to choose their government. But they don't seem to have realized it yet.

This is an abomination. 🤬

Remember when Paul Krugman’s columns were soooo wonky. “It sounds crazy to say that Republicans are making children go hungry to protect pedophiles, but it’s actually a reasonable interpretation of the situation.” - Paul Krugman

This is an essential piece. Pure truth.

And I would like to challenge this person to get a real job

My God they've just created a machine that incentivizes every Trump staffer to break the economy (and much else) on purpose so they can insider trade on Truth Social. Literally every insider trading son of a bitch in this regime is gonna be deliberately *increasing* volatility as much as possible.

NEW: ACLU of Louisiana asks a federal judge to order the govt to immediately return Chanthila (Shawn) Souvannarath from Laos, to which it deported him over the weekend in violation of the judge's injunction. @acluoflouisiana.bsky.social www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

“Immigration officials have deported a father living in Alabama to Laos despite a federal court order blocking his removal from the US on the grounds he has a claim to citizenship, the man’s attorneys said on Tuesday.”

LOL -- Trump is now claiming he's about to secure 21 TRILLION DOLLARS of investments so far in his second term. His fake number keeps going up and up almost daily, and the entire US GDP is $30 trillion, so yeah, he's full of it.

Firing an entire federal arts commission to clear the path for your own triumphal arch? It’s a textbook indicator of authoritarian executive overreach — the exact trend we warned about in our assessment. #authoritarianism #DemocraticDecline #SteadyStateAssessment

25 sorties of PLA aircraft and 5 PLAN vessels operating around Taiwan were detected up until 6 a.m. (UTC+8) today. 23 out of 25 sorties crossed the median line and entered Taiwan’s northern and southwestern ADIZ.

Starboard Maritime Intelligence has identified a false-flagged VLCC — NOVA (#IMO9283801) — transiting west through the Malacca Strait. It is now operating as ARROW (#IMO9212876), scrapped in 2018 as S MISTRAL. The stolen identity and AIS spoofing indicate sanctions evasion.

In der FAZ berichtet heute Stefan Locke über ein besonders düsteres Kapitel des russischen Krieges gegen die Ukraine: Systematische, angeordnete und brutale Folter gegenüber ukrainischen Gefangenen.

RU military➕authorities have committed deliberate attacks agst Ukrainian civilian targets fr/day 1 (2014‼️) incl. attacks on medical facilities&hospitals➕the energy grid, indiscriminate attacks on densely populated areas, abduction, torture & murder of civilians, forced deportations, sexual violence.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.
