Anyone not actively involved in impeaching and no other activity should just resign. There is no government until he is gone. Pretending otherwise props up him, not government.

impeach him. try to do it once a month, if necessary. build the case over and over to not just the American people but to the world that this isn’t the way things should be here, that this isn’t the way we should use our power abroad.

Precedents like this render him immune from future gov’t shutdowns. He doesn’t need the legislature’s funds if he can create massive slush funds for himself by looting foreign nations and extorting US companies. He’s achieving escape velocity from our system & Congress is just watching.

In an even remotely healthy political system and culture - and everywhere else in the democratic world - January 6 would have been a dealbreaker: The end of Trump as a major political figure. He would have been convicted, shunned, banished - everyone associated with him ostracized from public life.

Under the current set up the USA is permitted to massively increase its military presence in Greenland and US companies are more than welcome to invest in raw material extraction. So the only additional objective US annexation could actually achieve would be the end of NATO.

A reminder - before Trump, MAGA, Musk and Fox rewrote history - that this is what the entire country agreed had happened five years ago today:

Francis Fukuyama:

Feels very relevant again with Greenland in Trump's sights...

The reason the Trump regime is trying to demolish the entire international order built after World War II is that they think the wrong side won that war.

Again. Over and over again. When fascists explain to you that they are aggressive expansionists that want to invade their neighbours - believe them. They always mean it.

"maybe gamergate actually had a point" you understand it was gamergate that led us to this point right? including BOTH the paypro censorship AND the mass volumes of csam being generated by grok. they were fascists. they rode our cultural hatred of women & MaGes to success and to today's world

It has always struck me as an incredibly coincidence that at a point when many of us were stuck indoors unable to travel, that we could begin reading a new Star Wars book where a big part of the plot was nobody being allowed to travel through hyperspace and it took the edge off.

I miss the 1990s when every game was £30…

Hire Holly. She is an expert and proficient in so many things around history, gaming, narrative design etc that there is no way you will regret the decision.

'Congratulations! You have won this Charity series of Traitors! You backstabbed your way to victory! Who are you supporting?' 'Good Times for Goats' *Off screen* 'What the fuck?!' 'Yeah they help old goats do fun things.' *Off screen* 'I was going to help kids with cancer!' 'Goats are great.'

And yet there are higher education leaders in the U.S. who say they are eager to work with Trump. They're insane.

Did he answer to the name of ‘Andrew Windsor’? Man admits dressing as fake navy admiral at Remembrance event www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Unbridled losers all the way down

Once you’ve got a taste for imperialism and conquest it’s hard to shake it off…

War monger and crook.

And there's my first book read of 2026! Thanks to @chriskempshall.bsky.social for writing such a fantastic history, which unfortunately feels prescient considering what's going on in the real world. www.goodreads.com/book/show/20...

Whilst the geopolitical consequences of Trump effectively attempting to colonise Venezuela will rumble on for some time, those of us connected to UK academia will have to reckon with the fact that it will only provide further encouragement to the University of Greenwich.

Translate "Hail Victory" into German. Go on, Google translate is right there waiting.

So for months they have tried to blame the entire fentanyl crisis on Venezuela and the indictment only mentions cocaine, which they pardoned a different guy for weeks ago

You couldn't publish this today. You'd have to cloak it under several layers of metaphor.

it's funny when watching US movies or tv shows i used to be like "man, they sure do use food poisoning as a plot device *a lot* in america..." then i learned their food poisoning statistics and it blew my mind. that's just how they live! people DIE of food poisoning regularly in the US. it's MAD.

Good job these lads have never thrown any paint on a plane...

So clever of US, UK and European universities, with ample encouragement from their governments, to have been closing down Area Studies, History, Languages and Politics & International Relations programmes, so clearly irrelevant to the world in the second half of the 21st century.

As ever, when fascists talk openly about their aggressively expansionist plans - believe them. They mean what they say.

It's good to know that not even a little wargasm can dissuade him from his one true love -- being a lying sack of shit.

Donald Trump is now reposting videos on Truth Social suggesting that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had Melissa Hortman assassinated. This is objectively evil, and calling it out should not be political.

And whilst the impeachment attempt may fail (and won’t be judged until congress returns) the reason you do it is because it’s the right thing to do and also to clearly and publicly decry Trump and his fascism. You do it to show there is resistance. You do it for your own conscience.

Impeach him now. Submit articles today. Sorry, there's nothing else to do and waiting is madness.

And that’s a big “Fuck you” from the people apparently still running Venezuela.

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

I've said it before, but an important question and consideration for life: 'WWBKD?' - 'What Would Beaumont Kin Do?'

Anytime some yahoo says, “all serious historians agree…” I want to say: 1. What is a “serious” historian? 2. Have you ever actually been in a room with more than one historian? We can’t even agree with how long the 19th century was.

This is absolutely fucking outrageous. You can’t just overthrow and kidnap the leaders of other countries and then effectively conquer them and suspend their own democratic systems. Trump is a despicable fascist who should be impeached immediately.

Whatever happens now, we absolutely cannot allow Trump's refusal to seek Congressional authorization for what appears to be a large scale military attack on another country vanish from the media discussion, which already appears to be happening.

But on 12/1/25, Trump pardoned convicted drug trafficker/former president of Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernández, who went to trial in the US & was sentenced to 45 years in prison. And Vance saying the OIL part out loud as if we didn’t know that all along.

As we all said, international law, such as it was, no longer exists. The United States, following Israel’s precedent, considers itself to have the explicit authority to blatantly violate sovereignty anywhere in the world and abduct even leaders of other states. There are no guardrails whatsoever.

Also if anyone is interested in the history of the United States' attempts to topple leaders in South America and install more friendly dictators then you can - and I'm not joking here - download the files from the CIA website.

Nige I think Russia and China might think: what's ok for you is also ok for me

At the risk of returning to this & overly doom-mongering, but today has seen another example of just how much Trump cares about laws, norms, restrictions on his power. If the Dems win the House & Senate in the midterms they will presumably attempt another impeachment. Do you think Trump allows that?

In a sane and just world the courtrooms at The Hague would be getting increasingly filled in the near future.

100% seriously, European leaders and Commission officials should plan on the basis that the US might do this to them too, about Greenland, about tech regulation, about “Christian values”, about “free speech”, whatever.
