Historically, we've focused a lot on the brutal actions of authoritarian regimes, and today is no different.
Using imagery online of the shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, we’ve created an animated sequence which highlights the approximate positioning of officers and vehicles at the scene. The red dot represents the agent who fired the shots. Yellow dots are other agents who arrived at the scene.

Yup, Dumb is just a simple thief.
President Donald Trump said Venezuela would send the US as much as 50 million barrels of oil, declaring it would be sold with the proceeds to benefit both countries

The reason is simple: We don't have 2000 soldiers.
European countries need to not only acknowledge the fact that U.S. is no longer an ally, but also the urgent need for rearmament.

Denmark's gov & EU continues to be in complete denial over the threat from US.
They still think #appeasement is a strategy. Its not. Its #copium
and criminally neglect of duty.
Venezuela is being robbed of its oil, while EUr&DK clapped.
Why has DK not sent say 2000 soldiers to Nuuk already?

The European countries will have to stage together and develop a common strategy, to avoid becoming simple vassals to Trump and Putin.

The war in Venezuela has two possible outcomes:
If the US wins, it will be because of Donald Trump’s sublime military leadership.
If the US loses, it will be because of the “Venezuelan mess which Trump inherited from Joe Biden”.

A functioning Congress will have articles of impeachment drafted by the end of the day.
Our Congress will just go to social media to basically say “We don’t like this, but what are you gonna do?”

Reading headlines about the US massing forces to Venezuela and ”what is Trump’s aim with the troops ?” reminds me of a certain other country that massed troops at a neighbour’s border 4 years ago and headlines were wondering what Putin’s aim could possibly be

Ja, jeg tror, at Trump har fuldstændigt styr på det og har gennemtænkt det hele. Han har siden starten af angrebet endnu ikke forvekslet Venezuela med et andet land, så det begynder pisse godt!

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Civilians in Moscow are not hoping for victory in 2026, they are hoping for peace.
They care about being asked to aid a living, and are not optimistic about the current outlooks.

🧵 1/5: Russia is rolling out broad tax hikes for 2026. VAT rises to 22%, small and medium-sized businesses lose exemptions, excises expand, and social contributions rise. This isn’t a tax reform, it’s a revenue grab in a stressed economy.
