I saw this video of a Vietnam vet in the fur coat yelling at ICE and thought to myself, "this is missing something," before I realized, "Ah, of course, the Ether instrumental. It's so obvious."

Trump’s lies, both big and small, have been corrosive to the foundations of civil society and democracy, which depend on a shared sense of reality. But the events of the first days of 2026 also show that they are deadly. They are literally killing us.

We condemn ICE’s extrajudicial killing of a woman in Minneapolis today.
We call for an immediate removal of all ICE agents from DC.
We also call on Congress to immediately defund federal surge forces nationwide as part of their current budget process.

Worse, robotaxis pose real risks to Europe’s dense cities.
In the US, they've created few problems in autocentric Phoenix, but in multimodal San Francisco they’ve disrupted transport by blocking bike lanes, crosswalks, and transit.

The idea that we were merely executing a warrant - and in order to do so we had to massacre dozen of people who weren’t involved - is so ludicrously obscene.
Over 40 deaths are confirmed including civilians who were just sleeping in their homes when bombs started dropping on their city
STEPHANOPOULOS: Why wasn't congressional authorization necessary?
RUBIO: It wasn't necessary because this was not an invasion. We didn't occupy a country. This was an arrest operation.

Bombing another country and kidnapping its leader would also be wrong with Congressional approval. The outrage, and call for impeachment, should be over the evil and illegal outcome not merely the failure to follow the prescribed process.

In his inaugural, he said success should be measured “most importantly, by the wars we never get into.” By his own standard, he’s failing— he has become the Bully-in-Chief, preying on the weak while abandoning the principles of peace and human rights that should define American leadership.

This war is completely illegitimate: 60% of Americans disapprove of going to war with Venezuela—74% disapprove war without Congressional approval. Only 19% are in favor.
The people oppose it. Our representatives didn’t approve it. Trump should be removed for this unconstitutional war.
