Brazil succeeded in holding coup plotters accountable. "If — when the glass has been swept away & the trials are over — those who empowered, guided, mobilized, and legitimized [the riots] are never held to account, then... the conditions for repetition remain intact.” jacobin.com/2026/01/janu...

Someone from Australia just called me a Boffin and I had no idea if I needed to fight him or thank him. Turns out it's a nice compliment!

Ok, now about those #EpsteinFiles…

My thoughts today are with the security people and police officers who defended the Capitol on January 6 and have been treated with such distain since by the GOP. For them and the Democratic leadership who lived through such chaos and no doubt continue to carry the scars within. We will not forget.

January 6th Is Still Happening In Real Time

The Polymarket bettor, the identity of whom is unknown, bet $30,000 on the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro less than a day before he was abducted by U.S. forces.

I'll be honest, yelling at politicians on here does make me feel a little better. But this is not how I need to be spending my depleting time.

Happy New Year! Wishing you all the energy and vibrance of this lovely Amaryllis throughout 2026. 𝐻𝑖𝑝𝑝𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑢𝑚 #flowers #photography

I need people to understand that saying, "I don't like or support this politician, but the other person will be worse, so I'll vote for them," is precisely how we ended up with fascism. If you're not voting affirmatively for something you actually want, you don't live in a democracy.

Quiet, graphic, and completely still. This Blue Clipper paused just long enough for shape and color to take over, with the background gently muted to keep the focus on form. If this kind of quiet detail resonates, share. #MacroPhotography #ButterflyPavilion #VisualStorytelling #ScottKissPhoto

BARTIROMO: With all due respect, I think the goal here is to stop the drug and human trafficking into America, and I don't think Saudi Arabia is sending fentanyl into America RAND PAUL: Well, neither does Venezuela

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot. It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

You’ll notice that the American state media refuse to mention that the MAGA regime murdered over 80 people in Venezuela with bombs as people were sleeping. They’ve not only failed democracy, but humanity as well.

RELEASE THE UNREDACTED EPSTEIN FILES! JUDGES MAKE THE DOJ DO IT.

Why is everyone yelling “release the epstein files” when we should already be yelling “impeach and remove!”? Yelling about the Epstein files is an extra step and it can happen after he’s out of office.

I haven’t seen many posts about Epstein files in the last couple of days.

The little wench does not even care that I am *right here*, there is chimkins on the plate. Err, there used to be. #CatSky

If the US holds Venezuela, we will seize 17% of oil -- yesterday's technology. If China uses this precedent to take Taiwan, it will own 60% of semiconductors -- tomorrow's technology. See what happens when you elect evil & stupid at the same time? Really American FB

I'm not seeing anything about Epstein on here today. Did it work? Did he manage to get that off the news cycles with his invasion?

The subject of this mixed media painting from 2015 is the pond in the grounds of the Old Rectory, Yelling (a curiously named village). I enjoyed sitting there working on this. A couple of moorhens can be seen swimming around sketched in on the far side. #art #watercolour #gouache #ink #oilpastel

The United States is behaving like a rogue state. The President has carried out an illegal act of war, kidnapped a foreign head of state, and is now threatening military action against NATO allies. This is a constitutional crisis. Impeachment must be on the table.

Things are going well between Dan and his old friends.

“Pergram also noted that, “Two Texas Democrats are in a runoff for a House seat later this month. So Democrats gain a seat there. With 432 members then, it goes to 218-214.” Let’s vote Democrats!!!

Impeach him! Do it now!

APRIL 11, 2024 AT MAR-A-LAGO: Makes $1 billion request presented to oil and gas execs as a “deal.” In exchange, they would avoid taxes, regulations, legal, and climate rules presenting it as an investment in him. Fast forward to November 2025, oil exec Paul Singer buys Venezuela Citgo.

The open dem house seat in Texas is still not filled. It will be nearly a year before someone is elected and who knows how long before Johnson swears that person in. The Repug house seat in CA should be held open as long as possible, using this Texas seat as precedent

Mike Johnson’s razor-thin House majority took three hits today — Marjorie Taylor Greene’s resignation, the unexpected passing of Doug LaMalfa, and the hospitalization of Jim Baird following a serious car accident. With Tom Massie fighting hard with leadership, the Republican margin shrinks to ONE.

OH CANADA! 😳

BREAKING: Abortion will remain legal in Wyoming after the state Supreme Court struck down laws, including the first U.S. ban on pill abortions.

What do these companies have in common? -Cigna -Comcast -General Mills -Allstate -Marriott -Hilton -Walmart -Amazon -Microsoft -Meta All promised after January 6, 2021 to stop funding lawmakers who tried to overturn the 2020 election. And all have broken that promise.

FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history. Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

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

Good thing it's just the flu and only killing thousands.....mostly the antivax crowd.. www.cnn.com/2026/01/05/h...

Mary Somerville - the person for whom the word scientist was coined by William Whewell in his 1834. She was a polymath, an intellectual tour de force at a time when teaching women to read and write let alone think deeply was frowned upon or ignored ⚒️🧪🌊 www.geological-digressions.com/mary-somervi...

More than 68000 people are in ICE custody, and 39 died in custody last year. The American secret police have found a new way of avoiding so called 'repatriation' costs.

As of Monday, all of Venezuela’s ruling officials aside from Maduro appear to have remained in their posts, including Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino López and Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello, who controls the police and was known as one of Maduro’s most fearsome enforcers.
