It's -20 in Minneapolis and organizers are in the streets before dawn getting ready for actions related to the general strike. They've had locals training out-of-town volunteers on how to prepare for and endure the cold. AND IT IS WORKING. THE STRIKE IS HAPPENING. THE CITY IS DOING THE DAMN THING...

Just said “Love you thanks” instead of “Lovely thanks” to the coffee guy. So that’s a thing I do now

Canada Prime Minster Mark Carney’s full Davos speech:

Why the Canada Pension Plan investment board is lending nearly half a billion dollars to Elon Musk’s deepfake-producing company www.thestar.com/business/why...

The champagne is flowing in Carney's office. PHEW!

JD Vance is a dangerously amoral human being.

Sir, you can’t break up with someone who already blocked your number

Prefer a woman family doctor? She’s likely paid less — and giving more #Opinion

AOC: This is quite a bit of market concentration. Agreed? CVS HEALTH CHAIR DAVID JOYNER: No. I'd suggest it's a model that works well for the consumer AOC: It works well for CVS. Health insurance gets a cut, pharmacy benefit manager gets one, drug manufacturer gets one, & the patient gets screwed

Nothing to see here. Just a picture of some Canadians who came to the aid of the United States when they invoked NATO Article 5. Fuck JD Vance, fuck your Rotting Pedo President, and fuck the enablers who refuse to do what is necessary to end this waking nightmare.

Most of the moral messaging in children's television programming when I was a kid was utterly uncontroversial at the time, and would be attacked as woke indoctrination today.

The broad consensus was that Mark Carney gave the best speech at Davos while Trump gave a whiny, low-energy snooze-fest where he kept mixing up countries, so naturally Trump is posting that he won’t be Carney’s friend which undoubtedly devastates Carney and Canadians everywhere.

You know, this is probably the funniest way for this to end. I was dreading Carney just pulling a Jim from The Office face at every suggestion for a new strip mall in Rafah.

I’m gonna pin today’s @effinbirds.com to my cubicle wall because every day is January 22

Great ad. Take notes.

The kicker: When the child, a US citizen, is taken by the family to the Texas Children's Hospital, a nurse shocked by his wounds calls the police to report the assault.

This is Liam Ramos. His family has an active asylum case. He and his father were abducted from Minnesota yesterday and have already been flown to Texas, hundreds of miles away from his mother and older brother. He's five years old.

McGovern: Well, he said a lot of crazy shit today. I think it’s time to take the keys away from grandpa. He doesn’t seem like he’s all there.

I just filed my column about the destruction of the rule-based international order, Trump’s imperial ambitions re: Greenland & bullying of Europe, & PM Mark Carney’s tour de force address to the World Economic Forum at Davos. Read all about it on Friday @whigstandard.bsky.social

Of course they are.

Stop what you’re doing and read this whistleblower report. ICE has been training its agents that they don’t need a judicial warrant to break down your door - a blatant violation of the 4th Amendment. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

They kidnapped a child

Just pulled a loose book from a bookshelf, and regrettably, a secret door didn't open, so I'm afraid your email did not "find me well."

Surround yourself with the kind of people who make small talk with stray animals.

His ‘special place’ is ready and waiting. It includes a dirt-plated cell with an old TV that only plays footage of Obama receiving the Nobel Peace Prize on an infinite loop.

Better headline: PM Carney risks the wrath of the American owned newspaper chain the National Post.

I understand the logic of providing Trump an off-ramp so he can back out with some dignity, but I think it's dangerous to do so. Each time these issues are resolved this way, he will be tempted to conduct himself this way again. What he needs is a public spanking.

Devastating.

Portland Mayor Mark Dion is holding a press conference after ICE agents launched a new operation targeting immigrants in Maine. Watch it live. trib.al/h1M0P3r

Always read Thomas. I would add that America is not one country. It’s a federation of states. Power is set against power. I don’t mean there’s a balance. I mean our structure provides opportunities for resistance if there is a will and desire for it.

Today is the most humiliating day in the history of the United States of America. At least until tomorrow.

"LIVE, FROM DAVOS, IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT!"

Remember when Trump was pretending that Canada was a major source of illicit drugs? Here's the latest news on that theme. Note: Drugs were coming to Canada from the US. globalnews.ca/news/1161632...

POLICE CHIEF: “If it’s happening to our officers, it pains me to think how many of our community members are falling victim to this every day.” ICE is even racially profiling off-duty Black & Brown cops— including pulling guns on one and knocking her phone out of her hand.

The response he deserves.

This is one of those "I would read 2,000 more words about this" stories. Anyway, here's a free link to what the FT has so far giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

I feel like we should all take a moment to remember that Ukrainians are still dying and this guy is just spitting bilge about fucking Greenland being "unprotected" from Russia.
