Keir Starmer often takes 2-3 days to issue very mild criticism of US actions. This is both direct and issued fast.

I think there is a serious risk that the US miscalculated quite what a big deal the Greenland thing is to Europe (and in Europe).
NEW - Starmer says US "completely wrong" in threatening tariffs over Greenland

This hits on something that a friend said to me that I think is absolutely right: people who are not grasping the gravity of the situation & meeting the moment, where politicians have utterly abandoned us, are doing it because of the fear of confronting that there are no guardrails anymore.
Good summary of “don’t give him what he wants” from relatively comfortable white liberals.

Murdoch's NY Post started all this and now these kids- including Renee Good's orphaned son- can't go to school because of vile threats.

"The threats to Southside Family Charter School came after New York Post articles describing the school’s social justice focus"

Rosenberg also made his bones encouraging the Democratic Party to turn their back on unions and embrace Silicon Valley. That worked out great!

From a Minnesotan: a hearty HELL NO to this. This man is a professional political consultant in DC raising $$ for a political party. There are endless better places to donate to actually help people here suffering and fighting against this nazi invasion. Here’s a start:

For 250 years, Virginia has stood as a self-governing Commonwealth. Today, history unfolds as we turn the page to a new chapter in the Virginia story. We are here to celebrate the inauguration of Abigail Spanberger, the first woman Governor in the history of our Commonwealth.

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition,

The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance

Iconic imo

They can't even argue Hochman is a crazy leftist or something. He won due to a paranoid reactionary backlash against progressives. He was the tough one crime candidate

Good morning friends, from the Wicked Witch of the Whistle Coven!

We had dozens of requests over the past 48 hours which makes me SO HAPPY! But part of filling small orders is more shipping costs. $5-7 covers us shipping out 100 whistles to radicalize a PTA!

If you'd like to help, hit the GFM!

Putting this out as an SOS.
If you don’t live in Minneapolis, I’m asking you.
Family that cannot go outside to work and urgently need help with rent.
They need $1200 for this month. I’m also helping with groceries.
Every dollar will go to them.

This is from more than two months ago. It was clear even then that McLaughlin would lie regardless of the facts, always claiming that ICE's victims were the aggressors. These claims almost always fall apart. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/whos-threa...

The central government is waging war against one of its constituent states.

(This NOI gives the target business 3 business days notice of what is, essentially, an I-9 audit. Note: we're seeing ICE demand access to additional documents that the NOI does not legally entitle them to)
DHS employees entered our store this afternoon and served us a Notice of Inspection, demanding copies of I9 forms for each employee.

In 27 years as shopkeepers, we have never been subjected to this type of investigation.

This is a preliminary injunction (not a Temporary Restraining Order) — it is very, very thorough and to my mind written to withstand appellate review.

Incredible moment here of Chuck Schumer refusing to do politics. Notable that this sort of pointed questioning comes from a student journalist rather than one of the networks.

This is the president pro tem of Virginia’s state Senate calling out the state’s U.S. senators for not being aggressive enough in countering Republican gerrymandering 😵

(She also turns 82 years old next week!)
I have the utmost respect for Senator Kaine and Senator Warner but we do not need “coaching” on redistricting coming from a cuck chair in the corner. How about you all stay focused on the fascist in the White House and let us handle redistricting in Virginia. 10-1

It’s worth remembering that Youngkin was endorsed by Serious People™️ as the better, more reasonable alternative to Trump. This is how Virginia Democrats are reacting to the damage of the “reasonable” GOP.
The Virginia legislature today passed four constitutional amendments, all by day 3 of 2026 session:

—protect abortion rights
—repeal the same-sex marriage ban
—allow mid-decade redistricting
—greatly expand voting rights restoration.

These will all go to 2026 referendums.
