@wikisteff.bsky.social Hey, if you're over on x , could you send me my handle over there? New phone, got locked out, can't remember what it was Lee98..... And Happy New Year!

Ex-Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura: “We’re a 3rd world country now. I know. I’ve been to ‘em. I spent 17 months in SE Asia while the draft dodger was playing golf… that’s what happens in a dictatorship. In comes the military. That’s what’s happening here.” 🇺🇸

So are lawmakers going to do anything about the richest man on the planet running a CSAM factory

Fortune 500 companies that have contracts with ICE: -Amazon -AT&T -Booz Allen Hamilton -Caci -Charter Communications -Comcast -Dell -Ecolab -FedEx -General Dynamics -L3Harris -Motorola -Thermo Fisher -UPS Know who profits from Trump's cruelty.

Walz: "I couldn't help but think, and it scares me a bit -- 'The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most important directive.' It certainly feels like that in this moment."

Remember everyone who is out there defending cold-blooded murder. They’ve shown you exactly who they are.

Posts may be a bit more sporadic from me today as my kids are home from school because my city is being brutalized by the federal government to the extent that it's unsafe for schools to be open

There aren’t many people left who honestly believe there will be free and fair elections in the United States followed by a peaceful transition of power. The U.S. has already passed its Reichstag fire moment.

This was murder. Trump is defending a murder, a murder committed on his behalf. America is not being made safe. It is becoming more dangerous each and every day because Donald Trump is a criminal who commands and encourages others to commit crimes on his behalf—as he has done for years.

"The murder of a US citizen done on Trump's behalf." You're the first and only to point-blank say it. It needs to be said repeatedly.

Back in November I told Westminster's women and qualities that the UK government needed to get off X. The committee's chair @sarahowen.org.uk is completely right - X is not an appropriate channel for comms. Quite the opposite

Maple MAGA is a foreign-driven information warfare attack on Canada. It is as fake as the Donetsk/Luhansk "People's Republics" that Russia invented as it invaded Ukraine in 2014. Artificially amplified separatism is a Chekist active measure against the Canadian Constitution.

NATO is dead. Let's stop pretending. Canada and Europe have a decision to make - whether we will stand together or give in to the Trump/Putin axis of evil. It's time to draw the line in Greenland and push the gangsters back.

@mark-carney.bsky.social Yes, shut down 🇺🇲 social media. They're our enemies. Quit pussyfooting.

“Comprehensive security is the foundation of resilience in 🇫🇮society.” In comprehensive security, “the vital functions of society are taken care of in collaboration between the authorities, business community, organisations and citizens in all circumstances and at all levels of society.” 3/x

…experience living beside an unpredictable bully. This isn’t just about boosting Canada’s🇨🇦 military power - it’s about harnessing all our strengths to become a more resilient society that will survive shocks of every sort, including economic. In Finland this is called ‘Comprehensive Security’. 2/x

Mere months ago, the following words would have seemed wildly hyperbolic: Canada🇨🇦 must strengthen its defences vs. the US, fast. Our democracy + sovereignty is in serious jeopardy. We only have a few months to get going. Luckily, we can learn from other small democracies, like 🇫🇮+🇸🇪+🇳🇴, with long… 1/x

Bullies back down when confronted by strength and unity. Putin will withdraw from Ukraine when the Allies send expeditionary forces to fight russian invaders. Trump will move on to other targets when the Allies pledge to use armed force against any attack on Denmark or Canada.

Like there is the patriotic argument (“I’m not vacationing in a country whose president wants to annex Canada”) and there’s the principled argument (“I’m not supporting a fascist government with my consumer dollars”) But then there is also the “not getting shot by ICE’s stray bullets” argument

At this point, I can’t understand why any international traveller would visit the US Even if you think you’re not at risk, you could get caught in the crossfire of ICE gunning people down in residential streets or have masked gunmen storm your restaurant and haul kitchen staff away as you eat lunch

ICE is responsible for the *only* shooting and homicide in Minneapolis so far in 2026.

This is an old cop trick. In a bad shooting, they'll often "transport" the "injured cop" to the hospital for "treatment" to get them away from the scene and away from prying eyes while setting the narrative that the shooting was justified.

This is the ICE agent who murdered a woman by shooting her multiple times in the face.

I think about this quote from Gandhi: “A few Englishmen cannot control India by force. A few Englishmen cannot govern India unless they have the cooperation of Indians.” As I consider how 340 million Americans can be complicit in the crimes of a single elected madman.

The American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want - But inflation! But wokeness! - but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made

Biggest lesson of the week: If Trump is your ally, you will get screwed. It's sad watching the Venezuelan opposition now realise this. For the rest of us, especially those who support Ukraine or Taiwan, the lessons to learn here are more important than ever.

Paul Singer, whose firm owns the US subsidiary of Venezuela's state-owned oil company, spent millions in 2024 to re-elect Trump. Now, after Trump's invasion of Venezuela on behalf of Big Oil, he's set to cash in on his investment. A government of, by, and for the billionaires.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Our investigation finds that Trump's actions in Venezuela and Greenland are the product of a long-running Russian influence campaign that began during his first term. Read + share the complete report. america2.news/the-russian-...

Five years ago Putin puppet Trump led an insurrection against the United States. This act of treason failed initially but ultimately succeeded. The insurrection was heavily-backed by special services of the Russian terrorist state.

The vast majority in the US have done little to nothing since the fascist regime took over. They've had a whole year to witness and digest the corruption, brutality, vulgarity, murder and warmongering. And still they do so little. I now consider the US public, in broad strokes, to be complicit.

"Deep down America's allies know that only Americans can put a stop to the madness." This is correct. This is an American problem that only Americans can fix. Even if someone had the military might to deal with the USA the fix needs to come from within.

Deep down America's allies know that only Americans can put a stop to the madness. The fact that they can't or won't is why the damage to our partnerships will last far beyond this President.

Tim Walz dropping out of the race for a third term is the direct result of Republican threats to kill his entire family after they had already murdered one of his state’s representative and her husband. — Anyone still believe both parties are the same?

can I just point out again that refusing an illegal order is what you're supposed to do? that's why the military defines some orders as illegal

Walz: "We've got conspiracy theorists, right-wing YouTubers, breaking into our daycares, demanding access to our children. We've got the president demonizing our Somali neighbors and wrongfully confiscating funds that Minnesotans rely on. It's disgusting and it's dangerous."

I love that others, like @dennycarter.bsky.social, have come to the exact same conclusion I have - they did this to make content

"Post-truth is pre-fascism, and Trump has been our post-truth president. When we give up on truth, we concede power to those with the wealth and charisma to create spectacle in its place." I published this piece on January 9th, 2021. It remains all too relevant. www.nytimes.com/2021/01/09/m...

What will be the next target in the Epstein Wars?

Dear ordinary Americans, Your country poses a threat to the security & sovereignty to the countries of the Western Hemisphere. You have the power to bring the Trump regime to heel by taking to the streets, shutting down the U.S. economy. What happens now is up to you.

I posted earlier that Trump would try to grab Greenland and claim it's for "security reasons." Hitler did the same with the Netherlands. Just follow the playbook.

Venezuela: This operation has been coming for months. We’ve seen the buildup in real time, and Trump couldn’t stop talking about it. It was ready to go on Christmas, but they decided to bomb Nigeria instead. I’m thankful no US forces were killed, but this likely isn’t over.

On the bright side, if anyone wants to grab Putin and Netanyahu, knock yourselves out.

Using this logic, any country could invade Israel, capture Netanyahu, and bring him to the Hague to face his indictments by the International Criminal Court.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?
