Strong statement from Rep Jayapal rejecting DHS funding deal:

The problem with Donald Trump is that he needs to be more of an asshole. by JD Vance

Two members of Elon Musk's DOGE team working at the Social Security Administration were secretly in touch with an advocacy group seeking to "overturn election results in certain states," and one signed an agreement that may have involved using Social Security data to match state voter rolls.

I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers. I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

NEWS: The Social Security Administration has referred two DOGE employees for Hatch Act violations after discovering contacts with a political group seeking SSA data to overturn election results. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

Denmark/Europe should organize a counter-Olympics. Every freedom-loving nation should opt to participate there and boycott the United States. The world was slow to react to fascism a century ago. Let’s be quicker to the draw this time.

Donald Trump could be naked, yelling at cars on the freeway, and Republicans would still be all "Democrats have just never witnessed a genius at work".

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

Gov. Sherrill: We refuse to be silent. As doors are shut on our neighbors, children don't have enough to eat, people work too hard still can't get ahead, children who are afraid their parents will disappear in an ICE raid, as we see Washington trying to roll back the tide of progress. Not here.

Right wing rag only knows of one Black Democrat, so that's who they want to play the role that they imagine Dems have to play in the little click-bait drama they want to capitalize upon. These "journalists" live inside a Republican echo chamber and pretend that Dems are the cartoon they invented. 🙄

Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

"If great powers abandon even the pretense of rules & values for the unhindered pursuit of their power & interest, the gains from transactionalism will become harder to replicate" -- Carney's speech at Davos is an extended criticism of the damage Trump is doing (though he's not mentioning his name)

The Prime Minister of Belgium speaks:

We are now 32 days beyond the statutory deadline for the full release of the Epstein files

Supreme Court punted AGAIN on tariffs

If you can’t admit Trump is a dangerous, lunatic moron, you’re part of the problem. My latest. www.thedailybeast.com/now-is-the-t...

“If we have to choose between the USA and Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark. We choose NATO, the Kingdom of Denmark, and the EU.” trib.al/6FbJEcn

The long-serving Catholic archbishop for pastoral care of all US military branches says troops can refuse orders to take Greenland by force as there aren’t circumstances where this would be a “just war”: aleteia.org/2026/01/19/u...

Let's remember that MLK was assassinated while in Memphis supporting African American sanitation workers who were, despite CNN's weird definition, actually members of the working class.

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask: "If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

🔥🔥🔥 PAY ATTENTION: It’s not about Minneapolis. It’s not about ICE. It’s not about immigration. It’s not about Greenland. It’s not about Venezuela. It’s about this. Photo taken outside The Epstein’s arraignment July 2019

Minneapolis AFL-CIO and several Minnesota labor bodies have called for a General Strike on Friday to protest ICE's occupation of the city. Solidarity actions are planned in several cities as the movement could go national. paydayreport.com/minneapolis-...

Merz: “The economy in the United States is not performing as well as the American government expected a year ago. “In my assessment, this also has something to do with tariff policy.”

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on tariffs: “The American government knows that we could respond from our side as well. “I do not want that, but if it becomes necessary, we will of course protect our European interests—and also our German national interests.”

Germany and France's joint statement on the US' Trump economic terrorism: "Germany and France are united and we will not allow blackmail." "we are already preparing joint countermeasures." "We Europeans must make it clear: The limit has been reached,"

Canada's Prime Minister Carney: “The future of Greenland is a decision for Greenland and for the kingdom of Denmark. We are NATO partners with Denmark and so our full partnership stands. Our obligations on Article 5, an Article 2 of NATO stand and we stand fully squared behind those.”

An overwhelming majority of Latin Americans who are being rounded up, terrorized, and trafficked into concentration camps are literally Christians and I've not seen a single right-wing American Christian express any sympathy or solidarity for members of their own faith 💁🏽‍♂️

Any device with Bluetooth can be vulnerable, but risk is highest for devices that are old, unpatched, or always-on. Main factors that increase vulnerability are no security updates, older Bluetooth stacks, discoverable mode left on, and weak/legacy pairing methods.

Denmark's military intelligence service has recommended that the country's authorities refrain from using Bluetooth devices due to risk of US espionage. Other European intelligence services have directed similar memos.

🔥Greenland politician: “Trump doesn’t know about Greenlandic people. We don’t value💰/Kardashian lips/fake boobs… we won’t give up free health care & education… 🇺🇸are so greedy they’re trying to shoot their friends… Trump surrounds himself with white power— our rights would probably be taken away.”

It’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day and all I can think about is how many people allowed a dangerous lifelong racist and his Nazi cult to assume total power over the United States all in effort to imprison, assault and murder people of color for sport.

Men who defend Jonathan Ross for murdering Renee Good are not safe to be around. End those relationships.

Martin Luther King Jr. devoted his life to fighting for justice and equality. Today, as divisions in our world deepen, his vision is not just inspiring, it is urgent. The work he began continues, and it is up to all of us to carry it forward.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

Cops at her front door, holding a phone to her face, asking if that's her Facebook account. What the fuck are we doing here?

Your neighbors did this to us. The ignorant hordes who chose trauma over justice. MAGA is a like a cancer that feeds on mediocrity & racism. Educate your peers. Drive out the darkness with love & light.🙏
