There may be a few diaries our children's children will read on decades to come. #minnesota #ice
This is one of the things that I find is most shocking to people outside Minnesota who don’t realize it yet—the scale at which everyone who isn’t white has been forced into a spectrum of hiding.
Very good article drawing out the Tahrir Square comparison.

They are telling us in unequivocal terms that if you show solidarity with immigrants who are in the literal crosshairs of Trump/MAGA, you're risking a death sentence.

All I can say is the current president of the United States is giving real estate agents a really bad rep.

Seitdem Norwegen beschlossen hat, ihm den Mathematiknobelpreis trotz Berechnung von 8+ Additionsaufgaben im Zahlenraum bis 20 nicht zu verleihen, sieht er sich nicht länger verpflichtet, ausschließlich an mathematische Regeln zu denken.🤡

Wait, I posted this regarding Venezuela, but now Trump uses this exact rationale about invading Greenland. #Trump #Norway #nobelpeaceprize
Well, if you're not going to get the Nobel Peace Prize, you might as well start World War III. #inforapenny #Venezuela

From #theguardian. Never thought I'd see these two countries mentioned in the same sentence, and with the same antagonist.
Very scary times.

If we’ve learned anything these past few years, it's that:
1) Workers keep America going, not billionaires
2) Corporate profits don't trickle down to workers
3) Poverty is a policy choice
4) Health care is a human right
5) Strikes work
Let's keep fighting for a better world.

Sehr wichtiges Video eines Russen darüber, wie Propaganda in Wirklichkeit funktioniert. Hört euch mal die 10 Minuten an (englisch) und dann lauscht aufmerksam in euch hinein. Wir sind mitten drin.
I’m Russian. Here’s how propaganda really works.

This is a trend not only in the US, and needs to be acknowledged by the media, and by politics.

I count 10 cities in 2025 that are on track to have the fewest murders since at least 1970. Newark is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1956 (though only have data through Oct this year) and San Francisco is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1942.

I want to live in a world where I leave the house one morning, see a campaign poster about some alt-right candidate, don't know who that is, but once someone quotes them it's clear they're completely unelectable and will never receive more than 0.4% of the vote. #dream

I for one think the #BBC should counter-sue #DonaldTrump for $10b for harassment and libel.
