The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

Alex Pretti's gun is like Renee Good's car: irrelevant to the central fact that they were murdered by ICE. ICE wants us to debate whether Pretti should have been carrying because that avoids the central fact. Pro-carry, anti-carry--that has as much to do w/ his murder as his fashion choices. Zero.

I love how they went from "Guns Don't Kill People" to "A Gun Can Kill People Even If You Don't Use It!"
Bessent: I'm sorry he is dead, but he did bring a semiautomatic weapon to what was supposed to be a peaceful protest.

Karl: There's no evidence that he brandished the gun whatsoever

Bessent: But he brought a gun!

American tech billionaires are making a calculated bet on fascism.

They believe they can control a dictator in exchange for deregulation and total market dominance.

They don't care about your rights or the constitution. They only care about securing their own power

I keep thinking about the number of people that have to be involved to kidnap a small child, transport him to one facility or another, then an airport, then a plane, then another facility. Did no one on that chain stop and say hey what the fuck?
If only they had had time for the "don't kidnap 5-year-olds and send them to detention centers 1000 miles away from their families" training module
Here’s the report from KARE. The boy is five-year-old Liam Ramos.

Every public interaction with the US from now on must have the intention of teaching the facts of history we assume Americans know (they don’t) as well as point out what basic human decency would look like if the Americans currently in power had any (they also don’t)
The US is literally the only NATO country that's ever used Article 5. Everyone else showed up.
Like... what are you even taking about???
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."

Fascist playbook 101: Use violence against minorities until you meet resistance. Label those who resist ‘the enemy’. Escalate. Steal what you can while everyone is concerned with the chaos you’ve created. Next, use your gestapo to intimidate voters and steal the election
Miller: "In MN, the insurrectionists are confronting our officers on the street. They're being arrested. This is a natl security priority. Arrests of insurrectionists are made every day, and each provide us an opportunity to learn about the network from a law enforcement & natl security standpoint"

Er visst bare å gjenta og gjenta denne.

Jeg får visst fortsette å parafrasere gamle Cato:

Forøvrig ser det ut til at de fleste norske journalister og kommentatorer ikke vil gjenkjenne fascisme før døra til gasskammeret låses bak dem.

Yo journalists you don’t need to lead your stories with propaganda quotes under the delusion you’re being objective rather than played. If you don’t understand the psychological concept of primacy do some homework so you can be objective rather than a collaborator.

Danish national campaign to shift users away from Big Tech vampire platforms where the user is the product. I’d add that in the process, by being the product, most users also suffer what amounts to psychological abuse. Great initiative.
"42% of Danes want to try new alternatives to Big Tech. 68% would like to reduce their screen time … Danmark Skifter [Denmark shifts] is a national campaign where thousands of Danes take back control of their digital lives – not alone, but together.

When it comes time to write the history of Europe in this period, there will be one area of consensus. One of the greatest errors European states ever made, was in trusting the USA.

Ruzzians love the people of the Donbas so much, these ethnic ruzzian speaking brothers of theirs, brothers that need rescuing, they love them so much that they level their cities to the ground. Such love. Such rescuing of their brethren. Someone should catapult Mearsheimer and Sachs into this city
Toretsk, another city of Donbas that Russians are turning into ruins.

Russians* are monsters. They exploit poor Africans seeking education, luring them into signing contracts with the army. There is no humanity left in this wasteland of the tsars. Only evil. Death and destruction. And so the only solution is war

*except those who have fled or are actively sabotaging

American stupidity on full display. One thing’s for sure. American exceptionalism is an oxymoron. Half the country wanted this buffoon as their leader, who didn’t even care to consider whether his number one envoy knew something about the thing he sent him to do
President Trump on Steve Witkoff:

Steve's a great dealmaker, but I noticed one thing about him. He had the greatest personality. He was a real estate guy in New York.
He knew less about rivers and meets and bounds in Russia and the various places he's working on. He knew nothing about it.

It's time to let go of the extremely pernicious and extremely delusional view that Ru is a security maximizer driven by worries about its own security. It's driven entirely by imperialist expansionism. They say it every day, their actions demonstrate it every day.
Anyone complaining about European rearmament as escalatory simply doesn’t understand Ru. Ru invades the unarmed and the neutral (Moldova, Georgia, Ukraine). It hasn’t dared invade a NATO member, no matter how small. If Ru does attack NATO, it will be because it perceives its members as unprepared.

Trump is Krasnov. Always has been. Always will be. Always balancing on this edge where he pretends to support Ukraine just enough to make people doubt his real intentions
🇺🇸🇺🇦 Trump: You know, they’re using war not to hold an election, but I would think the Ukrainian people should have that choice.

And maybe Zelensky would win. I don’t know who would win.

You know, they talk about a democracy, but it gets to a point where it’s not a democracy anymore.

It sure looks like Russian intelligence attempted to use military drones to assassinate the President of Ukraine inside an EU country.

Looking forward to more thoughts from Belgium on why freezing Russian assets is an escalatory move that might compromise the peace process.

Ukraine doing an anti-corruption sweep in the middle of a hot war on its own territory is also evidence that the fortress communism excuse that governments can be excused for their corruption or authoritarianism because of the looming threat of imperial capitalist powers is bullshit

It was not a plan but a capitulation document. It did not come together. It was a Russian document presented by some Americans as American. Be clear in your headlines. Help
people see the simple awfulness of things.
President Trump's proposal to end the war in Ukraine heavily favored Russia in its initial form and included demand that Kyiv has consistently rejected. Here's how the plan came together.

Listen to "The Daily."

This conceals a systematic removal of children. Parents have no influence over the process, and international organizations have no access to it.
