This cannot be something a civilian law enforcement agent is allowed to wear in the US — and an agency that has a culture that tolerates this cannot be saved.
Fucking surreal that people dressed like this and carrying assault rifles are permitted to kidnap people off our streets

Last night, Trump bragged that he had spoken to putin and that putin had “agreed not to fire on Kyiv for a week.”

Just hours later, Russia launched one of the largest air attacks of the war against Ukraine.

Ukrainian engineers keep proving one thing: what Russia destroys, Ukraine rebuilds—sometimes within hours.

This is a nation at war: fast hands, calm nerves, and a refusal to break.

I was a White House ethics lawyer.

I used to advise people not to even accept a free cup of coffee from someone who had interests before them. And staff followed those rules.

I can’t even find the words to describe the scale of Trump’s corruption here.
Foreign countries are bribing our president to sell out the American people.
 
Trump family businesses made $187 MILLION from this deal, and just months later he gave the UAE some of our most top-secret AI tech.
 
They are selling our national security to the highest bidder.

Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.

Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

Saying that Europe cannot defend itself is not only wrong -- of course Europe has the capacity to hold off a Russian invasion -- it is also strategically dumb as it undermines _beliefs_ in our capacity thus increasing the risk of an attack.

Rutte is starting to be a real liability.
NATO Secretary General Rutte:

If anyone thinks that the European Union, or Europe as a whole, can defend itself without the US, keep on dreaming. You can't. We can't.
We need each other

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.

Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

Two conclusions from the amazing Trump turnaround on Greenland:
1. If you're firm, and have sufficient power, he will back down.
2. The most powerful man in the world is visibly losing his marbles. And we have up to 3 more years of this to survive…

3 years into the war, Ukrainians' resistance territorial concessions has weakened slightly (compared to 07/2022 when we first ran this experiment), but they STILL categorically resist Russian control.

Thrilled to see this Research Note with @janinadill.bsky.social and @carlmc.bsky.social published in @jpeaceresearch.bsky.social!

We ran the same and (a slightly modified) experiment as in July 2022 to investigate whether Ukrainians still categorically reject political and territorial concessions.

They need all protestors to be paid operatives because they cannot abide the possibility that somewhere in the world, people sincerely believe in standing up for others. It isn’t enough that they’ve chased all moral virtue from their own hearts. They want a world where no virtue exists in anyone.
Trump on Renee Good: "When she was shot, there was another woman that was screaming 'Shame. Shame Shame Shame.' So loud. Like a professional opera singer. She was so loud. And so professional. She wasn't a woman that was hurt like, 'Oh my heart is injured.' She was a professional."

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin.

This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

This should be obvious to everyone: if Europe backs down and lets the US take Greenland, the transatlantic relationship would no longer be an alliance. Europeans would become dominated American satellites without sovereignty just like EEuropeans were Soviet satellites in the Warsaw Pact years.

WCK is the only big international organisation that deserves your trust and your donations.

Good time to remind you to NEVER give your money to the ICRC, UNICEF, Amnesty International, and other huge organisations that are useless at best and fully compromised or outright malicious in some cases.
