This is how Christopher Caldwell begins his essay on Zohran Mamdani for the Claremont Review of Books. Why are these people such freaks?

Israel says it will suspend several humanitarian groups, including Doctors Without Borders, in 2026 for failing its new vetting rules for groups working in Gaza. Some international organizations have said that Israel’s rules are arbitrary and could endanger staff.

There is currently a shortage of daycare slots of about 128,000 in Massachusetts, so I am not sure 4000 facilities is enough here.

I was honored to see Read This When Things Fall Apart on this end-of-the-year list.

I accept this.

RUBIO: He is a fugitive of American justice with a $50 million award. I guess we saved $50 million. TRUMP: We should make sure. Don't let anybody claim it. Nobody deserves it but us.

About 200 people are rallying in downtown Seattle to denounce U.S. military strikes on Venezuela and the kidnapping of its president Nicolás Maduro. The attacks occurred overnight and were authorized by U.S. President Donald Trump. Organizers called for a new anti-war movement to oppose the attacks.

House members who voted for the $901 billion military bill received four times as much money from military contractors as those who opposed it. www.stephensemler.com/p/congress-i...

This is an exquisite piece about something I know absolutely nothing about. Worth paying @ettingermentum.bsky.social

A few more thoughts:

started / going

"Katz also said Israel would establish Jewish settlements in northern Gaza to replace settlements that were dismantled when Israel pulled its troops and civilians out of the enclave in 2005."

Israel has bombed Lebanon once every 4 hours on average since a “ceasefire” took effect in late November 2024, according to ACLED, an independent conflict monitor.

Theyve lost almost every battle they’ve waged in court and yet they’re bringing this to domestic courts. How this goes is how the country goes.

The kidnapping of Maduro inaugurates a highly dangerous era of U.S. empire that for perhaps the first time in an era of mass media is not pretending to be anything other than a violent, extractive enterprise of domination.

Venezuela's Vice-president, Delcy Rodríguez: "An attack of this nature has a zionist tinge... the defence decree is now activated, all of Venezuela is mobilised. There is only one President in this country, and his name is Nicolás Maduro Moros." Long live Venezuela's Bolivarian Revolution.

Mamdani rescinded every executive order issued by Eric Adams after Adams's indictment, but still the "New York Times" is focusing exclusively on two of those orders that had to do with Israel. There is someone singling out Israel here. And it isn't Zohran Mamdani.

This woman has been in ice jail for 10 months for absolutely no reason. It also shows how an arrest at a protest caused massive consequences - essentially creating a flag on her at her next immigration check in- even though charges were dropped

Legal experts called for Trump’s impeachment as world leaders condemned the strikes as a violation of international law.

The US Senate confirmed this man 99-0.

War, but make it remote work.

The same editorial board described Seattle’s mayor raising taxes to pay for childcare as a totalitarian power grab

The essence of this article is that a NY Times reporter called Trump’s cellphone at 4:30am and that Trump answered the call but said nothing of importance, other than wait for the press conference. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/03/i...

For anyone else who needs a reminder of what’s possible.

“It sounded like an earthquake, like the sky was falling down,” a journalist in Caracas said of the US strikes.

🚨 RELEASE MADURO AND FLORES The United States is illegally holding captive the President and First Lady of Venezuela in a detention center in New York. Using lies and propaganda, they are justifying heinous imperialist aggression.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply. I want to make sure this is very clear.

Why will Trump and the MAGA neocon war hawks stop at Venezuela? They're going to go for everything. Greenland, bombing Mexico and Cuba and Colombia, supporting Israel attacking Iran and on and on.

1914 shitposting

The fact that I don't see an immediate move to impeach Trump or use the 25th amendment is terrifying. The lesson he'll learn is that he can get away with illegal war & regime change. So Greenland, Colombia, Mexico & Panama must prepare IMMEDIATELY. The 4th reich will come for you.

Intense Israeli artillery fire targeted areas east of the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood in the Gaza Strip.

LIST of countries the Trump administration has threatened to invade, annex, or otherwise attack in 2026 🇻🇪 Venezuela 🇨🇺 Cuba 🇬🇱 Greenland 🇮🇷 Iran 🇨🇦 Canada 🇨🇴 Colombia 🇲🇽 Mexico All these countries need to get together and release the Trump Epstein Files

Trump is threatening to steal Greenland. That’s what dictators and rogue heads of state do.

Donald Trump is doing a shit job of running the United States and he thinks he’s going to run Venezuela too?
