🧵In my expert opinion as a researcher of vehicle ramming attacks, what has been publicly described in the video evidence does not support the claim that Renee Nicole Good was attempting a deliberate ramming attack when she was shot in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026. 1/7

Why Greenland? "Peter Thiel, who wants to set up crypto-empowered 'network states' on undeveloped territory, has invested in Praxis, a start-up that aims to do just that and which has scouted Greenland. Trump’s ambassador to Denmark, Ken Howery, was a co-founder with Thiel and Elon Musk of PayPal."

Exposes the nihilistic depravity at the heart of MAGA: a rapidly self-collapsing locus of destruction emanating a shell of outward-seeking cruelty, hate, and violence

Schools now closed, because the government has made them unsafe for children

Must be fuckin nice

Kelly: This letter or anything that Hegseth says or does to me is in no way going to affect the way I do my job. His option is he can continue with this kind of bullshit or he can go take a hike. That's his options.

Got paid AND his job back, lmao. Keep fighting these dweebs

I gave a speech at the UT Austin early last year on the immorality of mass deportation in which I pointed out that if foreigners have no human rights, the logic would permit our invasion and enslavement of them.

New: "Oil And Gas Industry Spent $250 Million On Elections That Produced The Current U.S. Government—And A Potential Venezuela Windfall" 88% of that $250M went to Republicans. me, for @forbes.com with @opensecrets.org's analysis www.forbes.com/sites/zachev...

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

they're doing it for gender, imo

Most ineffectual opposition party in history?

Charter cities business model in a nutshell

“[fascism] makes it so much easier to push aside all ethical demands” From its basis in fantasy (termed “myth”) as virtue: people will be valuated independently of real action or outcome, relying on inclusion in a mythic essential category. Not only ethics cast aside; fact, integrity, and rigor too.

Charlie Kirk was a husband and a father. We heard it over and over again Only certain types of people get to be husbands and fathers. Some people are simply civilians. Faceless, nameless and without consequence. Civilians die. It's what they do

Political Cartoon

How should America's occupying forces govern Venezuela? We asked four unvaccinated MAHA moms at an Amway party in Jacksonville.

Normative for people who make particular choices on how to live, and should be condemned.

I don't have much hope of it actually happening even if/when Dems win back power, but is nice to see one Dem politician bring it up

Guys I'm not being funny but hug a loved one and tell them something true from the very heart and pray only to Gods that you believe in and do not lie when it would be easier to because that is the last thing that separates you from these degenerate animals, Trump and Vance

Looks like I picked the wrong year to quit sniffing glue

Not that crazy IMO ➡️ The Republican-run Supreme Court has ruled the President can't be prosecuted for doing crimes in office ➡️ The Republican-run Congress has decided Trump's the boss and they are mere spectators Historically, tell a guy he's a god-king with no consequences and this is the result

The older actions were in international rules-based order, which had some standards albeit prone to abuse. This ignores all of that, with a heap of contempt to boot. This returns to norms of pre-WW1 imperialism. If some think that was no worse than the postwar era… I guess we’ll find out!

Tragic conundrum is accumulated/concentrated wealth is inherently right-wing. These long-game plans require robust & centralized funding & there is no equivalence on ‘the left’.

Completely agree. Always pull these threads back to the Reagan Administration and Bush I.

Corporate media are collaborators

Government for shitposters, by shitposters

The ‘Putinization’ of US foreign policy has arrived in Venezuela www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

The best argument against imperialism in all its forms actually requires reading exactly zero Lenin, requires exactly zero ideologically doctrinaire Marxian thought. It is simply the principle you were supposed to be taught as a child: not everything is my business. Other people's shit is not mine.

I just can’t believe the FIFA Peace Prize winner would marvel and delight at civilian casualties like this

Your neighbours are deeply, deeply stupid; mired in a cacophony of deranged inner voices, they don't even sense the reality that sustains them. <- a hurdle

hey maybe there are some consequences that should have been thought through to the claim that US law applies worldwide to everyone and we have the right to enforce it with our military at our president’s whim

okay so what are you going to do about the Secretaries of State and Defense committing felony perjury before Congress

"international law must be followed" is european for "thoughts and prayers"

Whatever you might think of Maduro, the seizure and kidnapping of a head of state takes us to a very dark place. Vast, arbitrary, extra-legal power, which could be exercised almost anywhere, regardless of the character of the target government.

Secretaries Rubio and Hegseth looked every Senator in the eye a few weeks ago and said this wasn’t about regime change. I didn’t trust them then and we see now that they blatantly lied to Congress.

The Good News? Community Organizing Works! "A growing number of proposals are going down in defeat, sounding alarms across the data center constellation of Big Tech firms, real estate developers, electric utilities, labor unions and more."

look, he got his wish, it's a pointless war in Latin America

The FIFA Peace Prize doesn't mean what it used to

MAGA logic says yes, but only if they have the might. They all believe and recognize this, along with a supreme confidence that no one could/will pull it off. They’d respond to this ? with a snort and say “Let them try it!” then high five each other while shotgunning Coors Lights. Not even joking.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

fwiw it’s been about six weeks since Trump pardoned the former president of Honduras who had been convicted of trafficking drugs into the US

Incredible stuff.

i think that people really underestimate reality that 1) administration has no doctrine, it is really about a single, mercurial, and half-awake man 2) the administration is a constantly churning system with factions that rise and fall contextually 3) might not have happened if trump tower caracas

this isn’t mere semantics: the idea that races are legitimate, discrete biological phenomena is fraudulent. Thus, ideas of racial superiority are also fraudulent. To concede validity to these notions forces you to defend a needlessly shaky position: that races exist and meaningfully differ BUT…

Snark aside - to legitimize racism as scientific (it’s not) hands the racists a decisive and unearned W. If you insist on doing that, please don’t wonder why you continue to collect L’s
