“Facts Are Stubborn Things.” — John Adams
Trump was elected over a year ago, promising to end the Ukraine war in 24h.

Ukraine accepted his ceasefire proposals; Russia rejected them. Yet he pressures Ukraine more than Russia.

Most Americans support Ukraine, yet he goes against their will because he is compromised

Oh. Crime was at a 30 year low when Trump called for our city to be militarily occupied. It has nothing to do with safety and everything to do with normalizing military suppression before the 2026 mid-terms. That’s not conspiracy. That’s what he is saying. The enshittification of DC just a detail.

If you’re celebrating the mass deportations of distraught, exhausted human beings seeking refuge, you probably shouldn’t be singing sweet songs about a baby with “no crib for a bed.”

Pope Leo said in a Christmas Eve sermon that the story of Jesus being born in a stable because there was no room at an inn should remind Christians that refusing to help the poor and strangers today is tantamount to rejecting God himself. For @reuters.com

Felon autocrat Trump and his buddies are engineering state-run media, turning the U.S. into the next North Korea or Russia. CBS should be ashamed for making themselves complicit in this destruction of democracy.

Here's why I think we should be willing to have a progressive as the Democratic nominee: Donald Trump killed the Republican Party's center but he won two terms anyway despite being historically unpopular. Having President AOC is not that far fetched.

Burgum: "Today we're sending notifications to the 5 large offshore wind projects that are under construction that their leases will be suspended due to national security concerns ... the Dept of War has come back conclusively that these large offshore wind programs create radar interference"

37% of voters in a rigged electorate in a referendum perverted by hate, lies, and foreign interference - a referendum that would have been annulled because of law-breaking had it been mandatory, which the Brexiters loudly and falsely declared it was. Brexit was won by the massive abuse of democracy.

On the one hand, AI will destroy what we have left of nature. On the other hand, it will also destroy what we have left of culture.

We do not have to offer and I believe indeed should not offer any benefit of the doubt: Anything sold as "AI" should be presumed ineffective, exploitative, environmentally ruinous, bigotry-amplifying and otherwise until proven otherwise.

ICE is going after people who commit fewer crimes than U.S. born citizens. They're robbing people, hurting people, using racial profiling, violating due process, hurting children, and going after American citizens while they do. This is an illegal criminal enterprise from head to toe.

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.
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

I am getting utterly horrific reports of ICE engaging in terrorism against the people of Minnesota. They are attacking civilians without cause and local LE are apparently doing nothing to stop them.

This is an invasion, and it is time for @governorwalz.mn.gov to show leadership on stopping it.

Two people are murdered and this is how the president responds. Not with empathy or leadership, but with mockery and self-worship. It’s a moral abyss and he keeps digging. Anyone still defending this ethically bankrupt, frightened, sad little excuse for a man is telling you exactly who they are.

the “you should love ai” line is best outlined by a recent joe rogan episode. he LOVES ai music and always tells guests this. a guest pushed back on him saying “i’ve heard ai podcasts are amazing too” and joe rogan immediately pushes back. losers love it until it comes for them

You know which law enforcement agency isn't considered a threat to terrorists? Yeah, ICE. They would run FROM a shooter instead of running towards the danger. Because ICE is an agency made of cowards and bullies.

America isn’t some neutral “nation of freedom”—it was built on land theft, genocide, and slavery, all to concentrate wealth and power. The dictatorship of capital doesn’t just exploit workers; it legitimizes and profits from the destruction of entire peoples. #SettlerColonialism
