An experiment worth performing

Jen Sorensen nails the hypocrisy and racism of the "European culture" argument.

Sorry Americans ... I'm afraid you're all the bad guys now. Should have nipped this in the bud. Signs were all there 5 years ago when he tried to overturn the results of the election with mob violence. But no ... life's too comfortable for you over there ... so don't do anything. Now we have to.

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids? Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

Dear Mr. Starmer Please invite Trump over for another state visit. And then arrest him. Yours Great Britain.

It’s time for Starmer to find some backbone. We can’t tiptoe around hoping to be spared, Under Trump, the US is not reliable ally, friend or partner. Where Congress won’t act, other world leaders have duty to call out Trump’s behavior for what it is. Many Americans will also appreciate such clarity.

Realpolitik now indistinguishable from craven bootlicking.

"The German police action in Poland is a fast-moving and complex situation, and we should not react without understanding the full facts. The Polish people can only celebrate the fall of their hated government. International law is the guiding framework." - Keir Starmer, 1st Sept 1939

Abject failure.

We don't need a civil war, but we also don't have enough time to wait for mid-terms. Our representatives need to take a page out of the South Korean's handbook do what has to be done. Remove and convict the fascist gang as soon as possible.

Ukrainian intelligence confirmed an operation against the 47th Missile Brigade in Korenovsk, Krasnodar Krai, responsible for strikes on civilians A mine-explosive device destroyed a KAMAZ transporting personnel, killing Russians from the brigade euromaidanpress.com/2026/01/04/k...

Ukraine's drone campaign chased the Black Sea Fleet to Novorossiysk. Now partisans report Russia is frantically camouflaging logistics there. Last month, a Ukrainian underwater drone hit a submarine at its moorings in what experts called an "impossible" strike. euromaidanpress.com/2026/01/04/r...

Someone should write a sitcom about the one waiter at Mar-a-Lago who isn't a foreign spy, he must be confused

🇬🇧🇪🇺 We can choose to either be a leading force in the world by pooling our sovereignty with allies based on mutually agreed laws & collectivism... Or Choose to be at the whim of huge global powers and mega corporations as Trumps already demonstrated. This future is here. Now.

People acting like this is all new. America caused ALL of the problems because of oil. They first installed the dictator Shah in Iran in exchange for 40% of Iranian oil shares. He ruled and oppressed the Iranian people for 25 years, leading to anti-American sentiment

Roughly a year and a half after I was born, the CIA overthrew in 1953 Mohammad Mosaddegh, the democratically elected Prime Minister of Iran. Can anyone anywhere show me an American-led regime change coup that has turned out well since then? I will wait. #Trump is an idiot.

Everything we accepted being done in places like Palestine will be done again and again elsewhere until we stop accepting it anywhere. We can't carve out exceptions where human rights don't apply and expect human rights to still apply everywhere else.

Thousands of Black people felt so unsafe in the U.S. that they fled further north to Canada. Those who remained formed vigilance committees with the help of White abolitionists. In cities like Boston, members would post handbills warning "Colored People" to avoid talking (cont)

Reasons it’s ok to forcibly remove a president, according to the US president: - doing crimes with family - targeting vocal opponents - domestic use of security forces - humanitarian crisis denial - weaponization of Supreme Court - dismantling democratic elections - ruinous economic policies

This 73 year old cartoon by Yuliy Ganf called "At This Restaurant Only One Person Is Served," is as true today as it ever was.

Some ruthless narco-terrorist dictators are more equal than other ruthless narco-terrorist dictators.

overthrowing govs, sending people to detention facilities for torture, cutting taxes for the rich, slashing social spending for the poor, increasing military spending, promoting christian nationalism, demonizing gays, surveilling citizens under "national security." same old GOP.

Lest anyone for a single moment thinks this latest coup is a somehow a dramatic breach of long-term US foreign policy.

And let's be clear that the US has now lost any claim to its President not being held to account by foreign courts. There is no immunity. The Hague now has the ability to hold sitting world leaders for crimes.

I'm taking 2026 back for a refund. I want a do-over.

THREAD. Every year, I tell the story of Ezell Gilbert. It's the story of one of the most remarkable cases in U.S. history, and you’ve probably never heard of it. The story of what the U.S. government did to him is vital for understanding the current moment we are in.

This is such a perfect summary of the late stage capitalism era we're now in. Problem is a load more dipshits are about to experience this again with AI, but this time we've strapped the global economy to it.

Exactly 💥 .

As the year draws to a close, I’m signing off 2025 with a magical find! An ancient amber bear. Carved some 10,000 years ago, it washed up on a beach at Fanø, Denmark, from a submerged Mesolithic settlement in the North Sea. ✨ Happy New Year all! ✨ National Museum of Denmark 📷 by me #Archaeology
