Trump wants there to be violence, chaos and death on our streets. Because he believes it will help him politically. Pretty astounding thing to say about an American president, huh? But it’s true. He wanted Jan 6th to be violent because he wanted the election overturned. He wants violence on our streets in 2026 because he thinks it’ll help him win the midterms. Don’t give it to him.

Given ICE’s violent, impunity-drenched core, at a moment when the Trump regime is leaning heavily into a vision of dominance grounded in aggression and lawlessness, such a killing (certainly not ICE's first) was all but inevitable. @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2026/01/07/i...
This Isn’t the First Killing by ICE — and It Won’t Be the Last
ICE shot a woman point-blank in Minneapolis. The agency’s raids and impunity were always going to lead to death.

That he chooses the "me or your lying eyes?" approach, in the full knowledge that there are multiple videos out there, is a striking commentary on the nature of propaganda in the modern information environment.

Basic media literacy: there are multiple clips out there showing this shooting, mostly up close and unobstructed (except by the car itself). Trump’s social media post includes a clip from far away, through trees, and slowed to super slow motion.

The breakeven price for fracked oil is $62/barrel.
Right now, oil prices are below even that.
The heavy oil found in Venezuela has an $80 breakeven point
No oil company will invest in extracting oil that costs $80/barrel to produce.

If you need to see how Buffalo is wired, watch and listen to the video. Conditions “are not terrible, you can see the street still.” Safety first, of course, but also heavy Monty Python Black Knight “‘Tis but a flesh wound!” vibes here.
We finally have a winter storm in downtown Buffalo! Conditions are not great but we can handle it and the roads are good.
A travel advisory is in effect for all of Erie County. No unnecessary travel is recommended and if you must travel please make sure you have a winter survival kit in your car.

Trump: "Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed. It sounds a little strange but President Putin was very generous in his feeling toward Ukraine succeeding, including supplying energy, electricity and other things at very low prices."
