No Room at the Inn (for ICE!) in Minneapolis with The Hilton!

Keep in mind they did this also back in 2020 citing their belief that hotels should be places of hospitality, not detention.

The parallels are frightening on so many levels.

How are so many of my fellow Americans not horrified by this? Did they really pay no attention in any US history class?
Reminder that Hitler annexed the Netherlands for security to protect them from the British.

I think that's the same play Trump is going for with Greenland.

I think he will annex the island as a "security measure"

NATO and Denmark be damned.

One of those cases where you think it might be more complicated and then read the story to discover that it is not. The resident dean was removed after an organized campaign that surfaced speech - whether you like it or not - seemingly unrelated to their work at Harvard.

On why Smith sought a gag order in the D.C. (January 6th) case and the Florida (classified docs) case:

“…right around the time the indictment was released, [Trump] issued a tweet saying: “if you come after me, I’ll come after you.” He called - in a tweet Gen Mark Milley a traitor…

Here are some choice quotes from Jack Smith’s testimony about the conspiracy to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

“..the evidence made clear that President Trump was by a large measure the most culpable and most responsible person in this conspiracy.”

I mean, this book came out a decade ago

Being wary of AI makes me a Luddite, I guess; I realize every college student is using ChatGPT for everything……but to me the harms seem massive & it seems like we’re being forced to just accept these harms—including dead kids—as the “price” of progress 🤷‍♂️

This is grotesque coming from the same guy who violated pentagon policies by sharing classified military intelligence about an air strike in Yemen (Signalgate) & approved the killing of survivors clinging to wreckage after a boat strike in the Caribbean.

I cannot stress this enough but the internet was a mistake. It could have been many things but we made it this. We are not the people for this kind of power.

The weirdest thing about Americans is how many of them think their laws apply to every person in the world.
But they're certain other countries' laws don't apply to them.

Five days into the Government's 'strong start to January.' Day 1 blame the voters. Day 2, blame the civil service. Days 3-5, ignore international law.

Voters & civil service didn't make a Labour government cut winter fuel payments & refuse a wealth tax.
