The Trump administration’s lawless attack on Senator Mark Kelly is part of a much broader project to turn the US military into a partisan militia and silence veterans who might speak out against that by threatening their pensions www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Exactly one Allied combat fatality happened in Greenland during World War II, and he was a Danish soldier on patrol killed in a firefight with a German weather station crew.

The stories about J6ers who went on to commit other crimes are plentiful. This one made my stomach drop. A NC man was investigated for child exploitation in early 2021. HSI was supposed to review his phone for evidence. They didn't get around to it for 2.5 yrs... www.rawstory.com/raw-investig...

Very informative and well written explainer by @citizencohn.bsky.social www.thebulwark.com/p/the-real-s...

From the sworn testimony of Special Counsel Jack Smith 2 weeks ago.

This is scary.

RFK Jr rolls back vaccine guidelines, HHS freezes child care finds, the White House rewrites Jan 6 history and Stephen Miller is sneering at Greenland Not to go all Tina Fey Lemon but how is it only Tuesday

Remember when these guys faked a concern about routine vaccines to encourage COVID in unvaccinated kids? This was obviously so phony and disingenuous the whole time. Look what they are doing now.

🚨 Senator Mark Kelly, representing the State of Arizona, has responded to Hegseth, in brief, here. ~ 🌵AZ proud.

Trump's rewriting of the narrative of J6 continues...this time w/ a new webpage on the official WH site that recasts him as a hero, blames Dems + Capitol police for the violence, & ignores law enforcement who were injured or died by su*cide following the events. New @ms.now 👇

Danish guy gets it

Why won’t Speaker Johnson display this plaque thanking law enforcement for their heroic efforts to protect our Democracy on January 6?

This is from one month ago.

Even if this were not explicitly prohibited by the United States Constitution, it means we kidnapped Venezuela's President and are now extorting money with the threat of future harm.

I am pleased to announce that I have commandeered my neighbor's home. This home will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, to ensure it is used to benefit my neighbor and me! Thank you for your attention to this matter!

At the @status.news newsletter that I read daily, they're saying... "A chaotic on-air rollout, cringe social media posts, and MAGA-friendly editorial choices have turned Tony Dokoupil’s “CBS Evening News” debut into a source of embarrassment and growing alarm inside the network’s newsroom.

hahahahahahahahah

Trump’s pardoning of more than 1,500 January 6th rioters was the largest pardon of violent criminal offenders in our history. Trump himself hasn’t been held accountable either — I’m still fighting in the courts with other Members for justice.

Really important point about the Minnesota fraud scandal from @citizencohn.bsky.social: open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Sen. Tillis denounces Trump's pardons of J6 insurrectionists: "We let bad people go, and we sent the message that if you come to this Capitol and you have the right president in office, he's gonna get you get past things that not anyone of us would get away with if we did it back in our home state"

Take note of how they are weaponizing anti-immigrant propaganda in MN and turning it into government policy. Fascism 101.

Jan6: Charlie Kirk sent 80+ buses of Insurrectionists to DC

Gallego: "The reason why you have Article 1 power is because you don't want to let idiots like President Donald Trump make foreign policy decisions without their being a check and balance against that"

"Only 1% Of The Epstein Files Have Been Released—The Rest May Not Come Out For Weeks" @alisond64.bsky.social for @forbes.com www.forbes.com/sites/alison...

Never forget.

Good for them. Testimony to their support for the rule of law.

He can try all he wants. It won’t happen. You can’t erase that kind of stain. Ever.

I still remember Ma telling me five years ago that if these insurrectionists on January 6th were Black, then they would be dead. Five years later, they are almost all alive, out of jail, and their guy is back in the White House. If that’s not White privilege, then I don’t know what is.

OPINION by @ericswalwell.bsky.social: “We cannot whitewash history now.” READ MORE: www.ms.now/opinion/jan6...

The DOJ was required to release all Epstein files, with limited exceptions, by December 19. According to a court filing last night, the DOJ has released only 12,285 documents. More than 2 MILLION documents remain unreleased.

THREAD: Viral misinformation on US capture of Nicolas Maduro - 4 January This video, shared by Alex Jones and others, falsely claims to show millions of Venezuelans in Caracas celebrating Maduro's capture. In fact, it shows anti-Maduro protests in July 2024 over a highly disputed election.

“Doctors used to recommend preventing 11 diseases and now they recommend preventing 72! We need to decrease the amount of diseases prevented a little bit.” You see how stupid that sounds?

They say it's not "regime change," but they changed the regime. They say it's not "war," but they bombed the country, killed scores of people and have imposed a blockade, which is an act of war. They say they acted because of drugs, but the main drug they're focused on is oil. It's 100% gaslighting.

The Trump administration has overhauled the nation’s childhood vaccination schedule, and among those clipped is the rotavirus vaccine. @katherinejwu.com interviewed one of the scientists who developed it:

Five years ago this moment, the President of the United States was watching on television as a violent mob overran the Capitol Building, and he did nothing to stop them or help the people trapped inside. That happened.

“The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth.” www.whitehouse.gov/j6/

Part of why gaslighting is so effective is it makes you feel crazy. It's exhausting being lied to all the time.

This sign wins

You know, somebody might be in for a big surprise down the road... Maybe Hugo Chavez gets the last laugh bsky.app/profile/carl...

Did not think I'd witness a Nature journal publish a piece calling the US a fascist country in the title / abstract. Thanks to Lauren and the rest of the team for picking up this crucial fight — in this paper and elsewhere. Please read and share widely.

Today, we look back on the January 6th attack on the United States Capitol—a deadly attempt to obstruct the peaceful transfer of power. It is a stain on our nation’s history.

He couldn’t even successfully stage a coup…as president.

“The present administration will continue to destroy evidence based public health programmes and policies unless clinicians, public health workers, and citizens fight back”. Excellent article by @jonshaffer.bsky.social and @gavinyamey.bsky.social on the phenomenon of doctors who broke bad.

“Donald Trump’s cutting off $10 billion in child care funding to states is an act of breathtaking cruelty—and it will do lasting damage to children, families, and our economy." - Kristen Crowell

trump did january 6th. republicans did january 6th. violent traitors did january 6th. they stormed the capitol, destroyed the building and threatened to kill members of congress. ashli babbitt was a violent insurrectionist. the capitol police protected people. these are truths we need to repeat.

"The point of the United States, one could almost say, was to move as much as possible beyond the world Stephen Miller relishes, a world simply 'governed by force, governed by power.'"

Before I read a single headline about this weekend’s U.S. military operations in Venezuela, I saw videos of it. For the first issue of my rebranded newsletter, I reflected on some information hygiene practices that we all need in the age of the permacrisis. www.thewayfinder.net/p/bearing-wi...
