Insane — a French judge says Trump’s goons tried to pressure her over Le Pen’s prosecution and she was so “taken aback” she told the French foreign office

“There’s a political project behind all this and we must be vigilant”

I hope this is true. Both @joshshapiropa.bsky.social @governor.pa.gov and @mikiesherrill.bsky.social should follow suit...

The gag is — he swore he’d make life cheaper “on day one.”

Democrats don’t have to convince you he’s a lowdown, lying lunatic. The receipts are right there in your wallet. (2/2)

A brilliant speech by Canada's Mark Carney in Davos: "The old order is not coming back. We should not mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy...The powerful have their power. But we have something too — the capacity to stop pretending, to name reality, to build our strength at home & to act together."

Trump promised to lower costs on Day 1. One year later, let’s grade his results.

Way to go Philly!!! 💙
Philadelphia showed up on MLK Jr. Day.
From the Immigration Court at 9th & Market to ICE’s field office, the city marched in defiance: against ICE raids, against state violence, against the killing of Renee Good in Minneapolis.
Dr. King taught us: justice requires action. Philly answered.

Trump to European ambassadors: "Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize... I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace. The world is not secure until we have control of Greenland.”

Deranged.

Putin is pleased.

i think this MLK day the thing to focus on is the strategic focus and tactical brilliance of the civil rights movement and the way it was laser focused on a set of achievable goals

The worst politicians in America are about to quote Martin Luther King Jr.

You can’t quote “I have a dream” on MLK Day then legislate against that dream every other day of the year.

At one point today, there were 283 Minnesota attorneys doing a training on how to file emergency habeas petitions to keep our neighbors from being shipped out of state and held indefinitely.

That would be the second largest law firm in the state. And that training was just put together this week.

McBride: Look, people are clutching their pearls at this guy yelling something at the president. They are more offended by a worker standing up to the president and calling him out for his hypocrisy than they are by the president trying to cover up for a human trafficking ring

Frey: "I've seen conduct from ICE that is disgusting & intolerable. If it were your city, it would unacceptable there too. ICE can leave & this massive deployment can come to an end. We have filed litigation to hopefully make it so, but I'm deeply concerned we don't have that kind of time."

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.

You could be next.

I'm FOR the independence of the Fed.
I'm AGAINST the attack of Jerome Powell.
I HOPE business reacts strongly.

But it would be nice if business types, now bestirred, also condemned ICE's attacks on immigrants and Americans--not just Trump's attack on the Fed.

This NYC protester speaks for a lot of us 🔥

“It’s an injustice being done in my name… my tax dollars not to go feed people who need food, house people who need housing, even to actually have policing to keep actual criminals off the streets… ICE is… not going after the worst of the worst.”

I can still recall all the tut-tutting from the media when Harris made this argument.
Kamala Harris at her closing campaign rally:

"Donald Trump intends to use the United States Military against American citizens who simply disagree with him."
