Lying is the norm for authoritarian regimes
OMG. "DHS said the episode began after a man approached Border Patrol agents with a handgun and they tried to disarm him. But footage from the scene shows the man was holding a phone in his hand, not a gun, when federal agents took him to the ground and shot him." www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

Across Europe there is the sense of a line having been crossed, of limits having been exceeded. But accepting times have changed is not the same as agreeing on how to adapt

Freezing Kyiv residents seek warmth in trains and tents.
Elderly people sat in heated train carriages, families living in freezing apartment blocks ate dinner in heated tents on the street, and one animal shelter took in stray cats at risk of dying from the cold

Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."

Regular people in Minnesota standing up to ICE and protecting their neighbors. Denmark and Belgium taking the strongest stances of European countries against Trump’s Greenland threats. Amazing how those with less power take action and sacrifice, while so many of the powerful equivocate and cower.

In the year since Trump's 2nd inauguration, things have been as bad as the worst projections of the most pessimistic of us, and they are rapidly getting worse. But at least the extremity of the crisis has finally forced key European figures to acknowledge where we are.
Europe is facing its most dangerous moment since the early 1940s: its primary security relationship is, at best, severely compromised and its primary threat, Russia, thinks that it now has influence in the White House.
