Yesterday Elon Musk retweeted "white solidarity is the only way to survive". In our numb overwhelmed media environment it barely made headlines that the world's richest man endorsed blood-curdling white nationalism. My brief writeup for @religiondispatches.org religiondispatches.org/elon-musk-ju...

Internet shutdown has an enormous cost. Economy will shut down within days. And Irans reserves are spent.

I am no fan of cheap centrist-bashing, but the fanatical unwillingness of many liberal journalists to acknowledge what is going on – an authoritarian takeover by a megalomaniacal imbecile & his openly fascist cronies – really confirms all leftist stereotypes about "rational," "objective" liberalism.

Think about the mindset, and the expectation of immunity, of someone who texts this to friends.

#Iran government building on fire tonight in Tehran. The uprising has escalated enormously on Thursday evening.

Reuters: Internet blackout in Iran

Hi from Kyiv hallway. It’s 2:03 and Russia is attacking us with ballistic missiles . Loud explosions heard just now . Russia is trying to destroy yet another power station , this time in Kyiv . It’s about -11 outside tonight, so yes Russia is trying to freeze us

The Minneapolis pastor had observed "ICE agents circling a young woman who appeared to be Hispanic" and insisted they take him instead of harassing her. An agent then “came, got in my face, pointed a gun at me, and said, ‘Are you afraid now?’” trib.al/k06XIZQ

Ich weiß, das wird auf dieser Seite hier eh permanent diskutiert. Aber: Als offizielle Einrichtung, als Politiker:in, als Unternehmen sollte man sich schon die Frage stellen, weshalb man noch auf X ist - und ob man diese Plattform indirekt durch die eigene Aktivität wirklich unterstützen möchte

Host: We have a breaking development on the investigation into the ICE shooting in Minneapolis. The FBI is now taking sole control of this investigation, banning the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension from having any access to the case materials. This is very, very unusual.

Hearing from friends in Minneapolis that the schools have decided to close for next two days.

Ich versuche ernsthaft nachzuvollziehen, welche Qualifikation Herr Mölzer wieder mal mit sich bringt, um über dieses Thema zu sprechen. Die einzige Erklärung, die mir einfällt, ist, dass er wohl grad Zeit hatte und man eine "false Balance" herstellen will.

Trump: "I have determined that, for the Good of our Country, especially in these very troubled and dangerous times, our Military Budget for the year 2027 should not be $1 Trillion Dollars, but rather $1.5 Trillion. This will allow us to build the 'Dream Military' that we have long been entitled to."

Warum wird jemand wie Brühwiler weiterhin als USA-Expertin eingeladen?! @orfdrei.bsky.social nicht euer ernst? Andreas Mölzer? Was hat das mit öffentlich-rechtlichem Auftrag noch zu tun?

"Meanwhile, witnesses said a doctor was at the scene and tried to help the woman who had been shot, but the ICE agents refused to let the doctor in to help. Up to 15 minutes later, an ambulance arrived but was blocked by ICE vehicles that had occupied the street." www.fox9.com/news/minneap...

If the news can’t call this a lie, we’re cooked. The shooter walked away casually. You do not have have to pretend this is a good-faith effort to describe the video or perspectives differ. Trump is lying and he knows he’s lying and you know he’s lying and everyone knows WHY he’s lying.

@moderation.bsky.app Y'all are actively hindering people's ability to witness what occurred today in Minneapolis and form their own opinions. Most people moved to this platform to avoid censorship and shadow banning. The video shows no blood or gore of any kind. Do you know what you're doing?

In functioning democracies, ministers resign all the time, under threat of a no confidence vote in the parliament. We have a system where legislative confirmation totally fails ex ante to screen out wildly unqualified people, & ex post accountability depends on a toothless extraordinary measure.

"Der dänische Ex-Außenminister Villy Søvndal schlägt vor, Grönland in die EU aufzunehmen." Ja, bitte! Europa muss genau so auf die Aggressionen der Trump-Regierung reagieren.

I have seen multiple videos, there is no questions that this ICE officer committed cold-blooded murder. DHS already released a statement *lying* about the cold-blooded murder, praising the murder. Corporate Media (eg NYT) amplifying their lies. The videos are widely available to refute their lies.

Mayor Jacob Frey: "They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is bullshit."

Emergency response vigil organized by @miracmn.bsky.social tonight.

TW. ICE terrorizing U.S. population and murdering a U.S. citizen.

This is where our rights-based legal order breaks down: if we can't stop a lawless, government-backed paramilitary force from abducting and shooting people in the streets.

Minneasota's AG on today's murder of a US citizen by DHS agents

I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK

Put simply, this is absolutely insane—and unconstitutional. Solidarity with Professor Peterson.

Absolutely fucking tremendous from the FT.

NYT you gotta be kidding me. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

This really is just so sickening. www.whitehouse.gov/j6/

This was about as shocking as the insurrection. A manifestly anti-democratic moment. Nothing could shake the spell.

What gave it away imo that Jan 6th was by no means an endpoint for the MAGA-movement was the fact that 147 Republicans (!!) voted against the certification of the 2020 election results just hours after having to hide from rioters. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/five-ways-...

I believe the original sin Democrats, and especially the Biden administration, made after January 6th was viewing January 6th as the *end* of something, rather than the *beginning* of something. My post on how to remember this somber anniversary for democracy: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/five-ways-...

Seit Tagen #Stromausfall in Teilen Berlins. Das Bekennerschreiben könnte Hinweise auf russische Saboteure geben. Das Ziel wäre nicht mal die Infrastruktur, sondern Zwietracht säen. Und es wirkt, als sei es ein Selbstläufer. www.berlinstory.de/news/stroma...

„Even if European leaders are being more vocal in support of Denmark, their ambiguity over Venezuela signals submission to Trump. And the more European countries act as colonies, unable and unwilling to stand up to Trump, the more they’ll be treated as such.“

Those calling for Europe to "wake up" need to outline a plan. What does it mean for Europe to "wake up." I think Europe is very much awake. But it doesn't know where it should go. There's just a brain death default to more defense spending. Big reforms are needed on defense and foreign policy 1/

TAPPER: Can you rule out the US is going to take Greenland by force? MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO T: So force is on the table? M: Nobody is gonna fight the US militarily over future of Greenland

I will never forget this day - set to have a meeting with the colleagues of our congressional program at the now DOGE-shut down Wilson Center that got cancelled for this reason:

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