If you had a loving supporting parent or parent figure growing up, and they are still around, stop what you're doing and call them. Tell them you love them while you still can.

if you don’t think you can campaign on abolishing this agency and prosecuting the people involved - if you don’t think you’re able to make that case using this video and other like it - get the fuck out of politics
Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

September 11, 2001, Small towns like Gander, Newfoundland, took in thousands, housing them in schools and homes.

September 12, 2001, NATO officially invoked Article 5

Canada committed over 40,000 troops in the 12 years they fought in Afghanistan.

158 Canadian Armed Forces members died there.
Trump: "The big fear I have with NATO is we spend tremendous amounts of money with NATO and I know we'll come to their rescue, but I just really do question whether or not they'll come to ours. Just saying."

Tough split screen for the White House

As Trump passes the 1-hour mark of his remarks (on the left of the screen)... the DOW is down more than 900 points (on the bottom right)

One of my fave political stories ever: when Maine’s GOP then-Gov LePage thought that not signing bills by deadline meant they’d die.

So he ignored all these Dem bills, thinking it’d kill them.

But in Maine, if Gov just does nothing (rather than veto), a bill becomes law.

So they all became law.

MAGA will be looking to do a Mulford Act 2.0 real quick.

Since Congress passed a law requiring Trump to release the Epstein Files, Trump has:

- Tried to start a war with NATO over Greenland

- Threatened to use the military to suppress free speech in Minnesota

- Illegally withheld 99% of the files and heavily redacted the ones that were released

Ukraine did a great job reverse engineering Russian Shahed / Geran drones. You can literally go on the website and see component breakdown - made in Texas, Germany, Switzerland...

I suggest you check it out. Very interesting. war-sanctions.gur.gov.ua/en/page-ger...

⚡ Italy has seized a Russian “shadow fleet” ship over sanctions violations.

The vessel, carrying 33,000 tons of steel from Novorossiysk, was caught using falsified documents to hide its true port of loading.

Shia militias from Iraq are pouring into Iran in support of the Islamist regime. Together with Basij militia and the IRGC they are striking down the popular uprising of the Iranian people against the Islamic state. This is supported by mercenaries from Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The reasons they stopped caring about how unpopular their actions are, is they dont intend to hold free and fair elections and are never voluntarilly leaving power again.

We have seen this playbook before...

Please check every outlet here that you give money to, see if they're still active on X, if you can, and if they are then demand that they leave and cancel your subscription if they don't.

Three years ago was the time to leave, if the @theguardian.com and many others can leave, so can they.

Again, I’m going to keep banging the lonely drum that the fact that we are threatening the territorial sovereignty of our closest allies is a gross violation of our UN & NATO treaty obligations, poses a massive threat to national security & world order, & should immediately end this presidency.
Danish Foreign Minster Lars Løkke Rasmussen speaks after WH meeting: "For us, ideas that would not respect the territorial of the Kingdom of Denmark and the right of self-determination of the Greenlandic people are of course totally unacceptable. We therefore still have a fundamental disagreement."

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.

You could be next.

Filmed outside a police station in Teheran. Arrested protestors are lined up against a wall. You don't see, but you hear:

"Death to Khamenei!" ...gunshot
"Down with the regime!" ...gunshot
"Death to Khamenei!" ...gunshot
"Death to the Dictator!" ...gunshot
