Mamdani: I am in support of abolishing ICE… I'm tired of waking up every day and seeing a new image of someone being dragged out of a car, dragged out of their home, dragged out of their life.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but saying “we need to compromise” with an openly fascist political party doesn’t make you sound “reasonable.” It makes you sound like a psychopath.

"Drink whole milk, you'll come in 5th place" is an incredible ad campaign.

Holy shit. Carney calls the international rules based order a "useful fiction" that no longer works. "We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition (...) great powers have begun using economic integration as weapons".
Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

“The system that made America the richest country in the history of world has failed America”
US trade secretary Howard Lutnick really not mincing his words here at Davos: "We are here to make a v clear point: globalisation has failed the West and the USA. It's a failed policy. It's what the WEF has stood for, which is, export, offshore, find the cheapest labour in the world."

I always like finding my country in one of those info boxes you would ordinarily see on a page documenting some disastrous medieval European war, complete with one wild-ass belligerent large country facing off many smaller ones.
This is an objectively funny thing to be greeted with on Wikipedia. Is this good?

Our worthless class of elites is responsible for Trump, not because they agree with him but because their affectation of seriousness has suffocated them and made it impossible to leverage their resources and platforms to stop or slow him. They’d have to break the pose, and REACT, and they will not.

Scott told us about being taken, driven around til the agents figured out he was a U.S. citizen & not their alleged target, then dropped back off at home w no apology.Came back later and ICE was back, idling in the street.

The DOJ said it is investigating a group of protesters in Minnesota who disrupted services at a church where a local ICE official apparently serves as a pastor.

It's cool that these guys just use pepper spray casually now, against people who are wholly within their rights, without a moment's hesitation. Several shots of them using it as they climb into their cars and drive away, not even a pretense of urgency or need. Just a parting "fuck you" to them.
This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.
