Word of advice, because people seem naive on social media:
If someone is not revealing their real identity but have lots of insider information and friends on the inside, e.g', politics, film etc — they are full of shit.
Block and move on.

I'm sure some European nations are already doing this, but feeding fake intel to the US to see what ends up being used by Russia would be highly useful.
President Emmanuel Macron:
“Where Ukraine was eminently dependent on American intelligence capabilities by an overwhelming majority a year ago, today two-thirds are provided by France. Two-thirds.”

Democrats always react (far too slowly) and are never proactive. But if Democratic governors wanted to cut Trump off at the knees with the Insurrection Act, all they need to do is transfer all National Guard personnel and material to State Defense Forces, which the president cannot commandeer.

With Republicans all they care about is money and power. They're psychopaths. Saved people on 911? No health care for you. Now people are dying making quartz countertops — let's ban workers from suing.

Kitchen countertop workers are dying. Some lawmakers want to ban their lawsuits
Some safety experts want California to stop the cutting of quartz countertops saying it can't be done safely. Lawmakers, meanwhile, contemplate a ban on workers' lawsuits against quartz manufacturers.

How many times did we urge Biden and @democrats.org to cut off this psychopath's federal contracts and deport him? But no. Silence, because dollar signs.
Now here we are with this shit and doge etc and still silence.

The smell of evil.
Every couple of weeks we get a different description of the apparently awful stench coming off our necrotic president and I think it's high time the media nail down exactly what kind of rotten meat covered in women's perfume he actually smells like.

Paramilitary forces reportedly on Venezuela's streets, as the US State Dept tells Americans to leave the country.
Not regime change, not democratization, not a US-friendly coup, not even successful resource theft. Regime decapitation with no follow-on plan, creating instability and nothing else.

To any ICE agents reading this who are from down south—you have never experienced anything like this cold. Our European climate equivalent is literally Stalingrad. It will hurt to breathe. You will be outside in it. So will we, but we are used to it.
Next week is what will break you.

We're about to be reminded what persistent cold and occasional snow feels like. ❄️
MSP could bottom out -10 to -20 next Tue.
