This crazy, sad, beautiful world will break your heart.

A young person who isn't a bit of an anarchist has no brains; an older person who isn't a socialist has no heart.

Every day the case for taxing billionaires and multimillionaires out of existence grows stronger. We should set a maximum wealth ceiling of $50 million per person. Globally. That’s more than enough for anyone.

As promised, here is a devastating new report on Minnesota—and a coming war.
As Trump Regime Readies a Military Invasion of Minnesota, New Evidence Confirms Renee Good Was Executed
This update on the situation in Minnesota holds at least a dozen revelations about what’s happening there that—individually—would each qualify as a sign of the imminent collapse of American democracy.

The number of observers on the ground here is basically increasing geometrically, because people see some of their neighbors being abducted and others fighting back and there is zero question about who is on the right side
Just tried to find a legal observer training and they are ALL full.

Trump’s Board of Peace has nothing to do with Gaza. Instead it’s designed to usurp the UN and help weaken the International Order.

Trump builds a bootleg UN with himself as chairman for life. We learn the FBI opened a civil rights investigation into Renee Good's killer—and DOJ killed it.

We need your help contacting voters in key states and connecting them with their senators to demand ICE Out For Good. With the Senate soon set to vote on whether to empower Trump to send more secret police forces into our communities, we have a big opportunity to rein in ICE at the federal level.

Have you noticed ICE is consistently using suppressors (silencers) on their rifles?

Why are ICE agents using suppressors and battering rams to arrest old men and nonviolent people in broad daylight? This is for maximum effect imo.

Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket.

He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War.

Notice the suppressors

It’s come to this: “Catholic members of the US armed forces could in good conscience consider disobeying orders to attack Greenland if such orders were issued, according to Archbishop Timothy Broglio, the bishop responsible for the pastoral care of US military personnel.”

Speaking to Britain's Sunday program on BBC, Archbishop Timothy Broglio reiterated that conscience could permit refusal of an unjust military order.

We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done: A superpower is committing suicide because the GOP Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King.

This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.

Heard various elected officials say early on that they still trusted the FBI to conduct a legitimate investigation. Nope.
@perrystein.bsky.social update! New info on the FBI seeking search warrants for Renee Good's car.

"Law enforcement applied for a warrant to search Good’s car under a civil rights statute"

"as new facts emerged in the case," they applied for a warrant under an assault statute. It was rejected.

In an interview, Trump insisted “we shouldn’t even have an election,” since he accomplished so much during his presidency.

The president also touched on the possibility of losing this year’s midterms — remarks that indicate he views the election as an obstacle.

I will 100% guarantee that the decision not to investigate is coming from Stephen Miller. Rationally, doing even a superficial investigation and “clearing” Ross would help them. But for Miller, that would be acknowledging the existence of constraints on his power

Lying can take a number of forms. For instance, Mike Johnson lies by feigning ignorance, an especially cowardly variety. Trump does that as well. However his favorite form of lying is to just babble incoherently. Fitting for a “person” who is incredibly stupid, severely demented and psychopathic.
