None of the people in the WH around Miller have an ounce of respect for the amount of pure pain the French Commando is capable of inflicting, or the Royal Marines, etc. They think it’s all purple haired freaks playing video games. Fine, let them. Let Musk convince them they’re right.

“Trump is the first president not to issue an official proclamation recognizing Martin Luther King, Jr. Day since President Reagan made it a holiday.”

A 12-foot version of Trump’s birthday message to Epstein is currently being displayed on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.

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.

I can’t go to the grocery store alone right now because ICE is racially profiling and abducting people who aren’t white

Not the biggest crisis, but this "Board of Peace" nonsense being constituted as an international agreement that vests control in Trump personally even if he's no longer president is a striking example of something that's so facially illegitimate that it's inherently unconstitutional.

Europe may begin selling U.S. assets in response to a new conflict with the US—a move that could trigger a dollar collapse, Bloomberg reports. Deutsche Bank analysts warn Washington’s key vulnerability is living off global financing—and Europe may decide it no longer wants to bankroll the U.S.

This is pure, unabashed bigotry. If a politician said this about any other faith, they would rightfully be run out of their party. But this kind of despicable anti-Muslim rhetoric is so normalized that a sitting Senator uses it without consequence. A stain on our Congress.

American officers know what Trump is planning, and their minds will rebel at directives to take everything they’ve prepared to do for years and apply it backwards, against the allies they have trained to work with and protect. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

NEW — DHS just posted this as an apparent explanation for why they arrested an elderly US citizen with no criminal record (it's a quote post of a post about ChongLy Thao's arrest.) The implication seems to be that all Asian men look the same, and it's not their fault they mistook one for another.

MLK Jr. said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people." Remember this.

German Jews were citizens of Germany at the start of 1933. By the end of 1933, the Nazis had removed citizenship from naturalized citizen Jews. In 1935, all German Jews were fully stripped of their German citizenship. Citizenship under dictatorships is contingent for targeted minorities.

The Norwegian government is staying fairly quiet for now, but as a sign of the shifting vibe here the former head of Norway’s armed forces has come out and called the US a “neo-fascist banana republic” and a “hostile great power without norms”. www.dn.no/politikk/tid...

it’s just so crazy to see it happen in real time

Blanche won’t investigate the killing of an innocent woman on camera but they’ve got all hands on deck for a church service being interrupted

Ukraine now 🇺🇦🤩

Fairly sure it’s unintentional, but the end date on this mug being sold by the Smithsonian does make it sound a little like they’re saying America dies in 2026…

More demented international correspondence from the First Lunatic of the United States. t.me/pul_1/19890

An FBI agent conducted an initial review of the Renee Good killing and determined sufficient grounds existed to open a civil rights probe into the actions of the ICE officer who shot her. Justice Department says no inquiry is warranted. @perrystein.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

🚨Don Lemon shared this clip 30 minutes ago: State Police vehicles which were intended to be used as barriers between ICE and protesters. Here we see them turning towards protesters. The state police are getting 2 different sets of orders and we all see which ones are being followed.

Ellison: This is the essence of dictatorship. It’s the essence of it. And we’ve got to get over the idea that this couldn’t happen here. Not only could it happen here—it’s happening here.

“We must learn that passively to accept an unjust system is to cooperate with that system, and thereby to become a participant in its evil.” -- Martin Luther King Jr.

Cuts to NOAA should be on the national news. Have you all noticed that these storms over the past few days were not forecasted locally? Maybe it’s because the data they are getting from NOAA is inadequate. www.lehighvalleynews.com/environment-...

ICE is allegedly hunting for Hmong people in Minneapolis and as I watched video of the incident lo and behold @whstancil.bsky.social was on the scene

One point I’ve been banging on about in interviews the last few weeks is that the mere threat of the use of force by the U.S. President is illegal both under Article 2(4) of the UN Charter but also the U.S. Constitution by virtue of the Take Care Clause.

From Jonathan Jarvis, former Director of the US National Park Service, about the importance of IUCN and why it's a very bad thing that the US is withdrawing after decades of valuable and contructive involvement. @iucnwcpa.bsky.social @adamiucnwcpa.bsky.social 🌎🌐

I feel like this official letter is an inflection point, convincing European elites that not only is Trump genuinely insane, but the people serving him in the U.S. government are either insane or too cowardly to object.

Fukuyama: Trump is a bully who wants to dominate everyone around him. Trying to placate him with concessions is a fool’s errand. He despises weakness. As an American, I say to my European friends: do not back down. Appeasing Trump with flattery has failed and must stop. 1/3

the wine mom radicalization is nigh, as rachel maddow is posting crimethinc links on main

Folks, I need your help. idk if this account is on staff at DHS or just making pocket money. But, they need to be banished. It's easy. Here's profile URL: bsky.app/profile/kain... Go to "Replies." See how they keep spamming the same X screenshot about an elderly Hmong man? Report each instance. 🙏🏼

The ruling Liberal Democratic Party in Japan is reportedly considering proposals to nationalize certain outlying islands where ownership is unclear or unclaimed.

Taking over Greenland is not a joke. Trump is sending messages to foreign leaders and making threats that will destroy the most important alliance we have. Are Republicans in Congress and Marco Rubio really ready to throw NATO away because they’re too afraid to stand up to Trump?

A breakdown of the Trump looney gram to PM Støre.

Bernice King: "We saw this danger in the tragic killing of Renee Nicole Good. Her death was not just a physical tragedy, it was a moral indictment, a spiritual alarm, a prophetic sign that good is being crucified in our midst. We refuse to let the world normalize the killing of Good."

New from 404 Media: ICE's facial recognition app, which the agency is using to decide who to detain and deport, misidentified a woman. Twice. ICE says results of the app are definitive and override a birth certificate; obviously this case shows the app is inaccurate www.404media.co/ices-facial-...

I want to do a livestream this week about why we need to regulate prediction markets and online gambling, imho, even more than we need AI regulation.

The only U.S. heavy icebreaker turns 50. That's an interesting landmark given recent U.S. criticism of other countries for not taking Arctic security seriously.

No Trump/Russia?

New Abacus Data poll finds a third of Canadians say they would think less of a friend or family member who vacationed in the United States recently, showing how travel decisions are becoming socially and politically charged. Full details: abacusdata.ca/1-in-4-cana...

“Tech critics become technocrats when they overlook the daunting administrative density of a digital-first society. The author implores critics to reject structural dependencies on digital tools rather than naturalize their integration via critique/reform“ J.Penn www.policyready.ca/policymaking...

The elderly president's deranged post baselessly suggested Rep. Ilhan Omar could be behind an alleged large-scale benefits fraud scandal in Minnesota.

Dr. Gladys West, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has died. She was 95.

The US is collapsing into fascism and going to war with Europe and the opposition party is like “I’m here to talk about the important thing: how your average grocery bill has risen by two dollars over the last year, which I also have no plan or ability to fix”

Fuck ICE.

U.S. defense officials are saying 1,500 active-duty soldiers are on standby in Alaska for possible deployment to Minneapolis. That’s on top of the 3,000+ ICE agents already in the area. We don’t really believe this is about undocumented immigrant crime in Minneapolis, do we?

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.

Comparing protesting to a bank robbery while Trump pardons meth dealers.
