Afterwards, I asked if he wanted a hug. He nodded & gave me a big bear hug. When it ended, he had tears in his eyes. “This is my neighborhood. I used to eat there all the time as kid,” he pointed down the road to a pho shop behind me. “I loved it.”
“Now it’s all ruined.”

The People Struggle Against Tyranny
Another execution of an American citizen. A regime that has no strategy but to lash out. The struggle against Trumpist authoritarianism is only going to get bloodier.

What’s happening with ICE is still the kids gloves version of what the US did abroad; it can certainly get much darker, violent, and lethal.

Mark Carney is right to say that the old order is not coming back. But where his remarks fall short is in their insistence on answering the crises of our time through the lens of neoliberalism—an ideology that has, for decades, hollowed out the very sovereignty he now claims to defend.

To re-establish power, defend sovereignty, and strengthen democratic values, Canada and its allies must do more than challenge the American state. We must also confront the influence of US corporate p...

A World Cup boycott over Trump? Football’s hypotheticals cannot be dismissed any more | Nick Ames
Unprecedented times call for previously unthinkable conversations when it comes to the US-shaped problem
Could European countries really decide to boycott the World Cup this summer? It is an astonishing question to be asking in 2026 and an indictment of the bind in which, as Donald Trump sows confusion around a potential annexation of Greenland, the world’s most popular sport finds itself. But the idea is at least seeping into the mainstream and senior figures are asking what, in a worst case scenario, it would take for football to meet the moment.
Unprecedented times call for previously unthinkable conversations. As the Guardian reported this week, an anniversary party for the Hungarian FA on Monday became the forum for unofficial discussions among national association heads about how a unified approach to the US-shaped problem might take shape.

Considering the other team only had 4 players due to ICE kidnapping the rest of the team you have to ask if that is really a goal worth celebrating.

Electing him once was a national embarrassment.
Not punishing him for his crimes and allowing him to run again was negligence of the highest order.
Re-electing him ripped the mask off of how rotten the core of the US is.
