Trump’s polls are in the toilet, he was a laughingstock at Davos, forced to surrender on Greenland, nobody wanted to join his Bored of Peace club, late-night comics are picking on him, Gavin is stalking him, Melania sleeps in a separate house, & nobody will give him real prizes.

Today is, among other things, a reminder that you don't get a general strike by posting that we should have a general strike.
You get a general strike—on the rare occasions you do—by the long slow slog of building organizing power with those around you in response to local conditions.

It will always baffle me why DOGE bros were not met at gunpoint in the lobby as they tried to force their way into some of the agencies, especially the Social Security Admin. Any of us would surely have been.
New court documents reveal even more ways DOGE improperly accessed and shared sensitive personal data last year — and how that data appears to have been used to advance dubious fraud claims. n.pr/4qDfABZ

This is a very important thread. The whole "it's a new UN" narrative is profoundly flawed. The Board of Peace has no actual power beyond the power of its individual members. So at most it is a new type of alliance between some of the worst human beings on earth -- deeply problematic but nothing new.
Reports suggest the UN will be rivalled by a "Board of Peace". But it's important to consider what this all means.
The UN, and the UN Charter, are referenced and reinforced by thousands, if not tens of thousands, of multilateral and bilateral treaties between states.

Emmer: "The people you're seeing in these videos, the vast majority of them I do not believe are from Minnesota. These are organized chaos agents, paid agitators. The vast majority of Minnesotans that are talking to me appreciate that law enforcement has arrived, and they are happy they're there."

JD Vance: "I'm headed to Minneapolis where we're gonna talk with ICE agents and local officials about how we turn down the chaos. My simple piece of advice to them is going to be if you want to turn down the chaos in Minneapolis, stop fighting immigration enforcement."

In all of these cases, we should always find out what the richest people in the U.S. are doing about their kids and consider the advice accordingly. My guess is that they (with a few outliers) vaccinate their children fully. This is advice for the rest of us.

UNFORGIVEABLE: A Minnesota doctor just revealed Renée Good still had a pulse 8 minutes after she was shot by an ICE agent.
A physician on scene offered to administer aid and was denied.
In any courtroom, preventing medical aid after using deadly force isn’t just cruel, it’s an aggravating factor.

Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland.
And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.
