Clusterf&%k alert!

The 3-year running average for the global surface temperature anomaly is now 1.52°C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial baseline. This is likely the hottest 3-year running mean in over 120,000 years.

Is Trump: uninformed, easily manipulated, being blackmailed by Russia, corrupt, authoritarian, anti-democratic, or stupid?

Yes.

They are beautiful, eloquent — and do not exist. AI-generated girls from the 'Prawilne_Polki' profile called for Polexit and preached right-wing views. The TikTok account has been deleted, but disinformation and propaganda in Poland persist.

Heads up that this is authorization for Trump to create his own version of the Wagner Group. Which would bring the number of “armies” at his disposal to four:

*regular armed forces (most regulated)
*ICE (minimally regulated)
*private mercenaries (?)
*MAGA thugs/militias (rogue)

All pardonable

Ask yourself: If Donald Trump was a Russian asset, what would he be doing differently?

If your answer is “nothing,” then ask yourself this:

If the US President is a Russian asset, what should *I* be doing differently?
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."

Putin said he plans to continue the war because Ukraine "isn’t in a hurry to solve this conflict with peaceful means"

So,Putin says,if "Kyiv authorities do not wish to end the issue peacefully,we will solve all the tasks that are in front of us during the special military operation in an armed way"

Pretty sure it’s illegal to fuck with people’s mail and if you’re law enforcement you have to have a warrant to touch it.
Think your mail is private? In Columbus, ICE is playing "Postmaster General."

Amazing to now be alive in a world where the vice president of the U.S. is publicly saying there's a chance France and the UK would nuke the U.S. that the U.S. must take seriously and that it should act accordingly and intervene in their affairs

Corporate Media provides isolated coverage of Trump’s corruption, ignorance, authoritarianism, incompetence, but day-in-day-out they paint a portrait of a president, just like any other president, sanely in charge of the US. But dude is a psycho and they know it.

US President is an obviously disturbed person (beyond corrupt, uninformed, authoritarian, incompetent). Everyone around the world knows this, except many Americans, because Corporate Media *sanewashes* him.

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.

Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.

"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.

"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

Offering the Trump family the middle of fantastical phantom "deals" is how Russia finally got control of US foreign policy, all now written in the Kremlin.

I also have been assuming that the primary purpose of this conflict is domestic
I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along
There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.

It’s possible that they didn’t think of this and also possible that they did and want it to happen or don’t care. The one foreign policy issue these people claimed to care about was communist China but they have essentially given up — it’s all too hard for them.
so a thing just occurred to me. a downside of declaring a blockade against venezuela is it makes it easier for other large powers in different parts of the world, say asia, to blockade, say for instance democratic islands, and cloak it as lawful

I cannot emphasize how serious an assault on democracy this is. Any effort by the Trump administration to engage in false claims of fraud or mass voter suppression relies on this as a building block. As importantly, there is no legitimate reason DOJ would want this information.
🚨BREAKING: The Department of Justice (DOJ) sued Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin and Washington, D.C. Thursday for unfettered access to the states’ voter registration records. The federal government has now filed lawsuits against 21 states, plus D.C.

This is a developing story...
