I love traveling and exploring our beautiful world. I tend to be optimistic and upbeat, with political leanings toward liberalism. I do not believe in trampling on human rights, nor do I believe in living under dictatorship!
Trump has just declared himself the "acting president of Venezuela" over on Truth Social in case you're wondering about his mental health.

In the 1930s, German and Italian scientists of principle fled to the US and became the backbone of our scientific and technical advantage, creating massive US wealth. Those who benefited most from their work are now… fleeing to chase lower tax rates. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/09/t...

The Border is wide open. They moved thousands of ICE agents to Minneapolis, MN to harass a blue city and state. Those agents have left the border wide open.

By now, almost everyone has watched the videos of Renee Nicole Good’s murder.
It has created two camps:
Those who believe in justice see the vehicle turn away from Jonathan Ross, the ICE Killer.
Those who believe in fascism pretend the vehicle turned into Jonathan Ross, the ICE Killer.

I wrote about a fake child care scandal, the connection to the murder of Renee Good, and the right-wing vengeance ecosystem.

This is literally what the 4th amendment was written to protect against. There are lots of things that are up for discussion and debate about how one interprets the 4th amendment. This isn't one of them.

“The real lunatic fringe sanctions the execution of a citizen and then spends days smearing her and that imagines itself to be at war with its own people…That fringe is doubling down, and hiring and hiring and hiring. This is going to get much worse.”

In ICE’s Own Words, It’s “Wartime” in America
ICE just launched a “wartime recruitment” campaign and seeks agents who want to “defend” their “culture.” There will be more Renee Goods.

This NYC protester speaks for a lot of us 🔥
“It’s an injustice being done in my name… my tax dollars not to go feed people who need food, house people who need housing, even to actually have policing to keep actual criminals off the streets… ICE is… not going after the worst of the worst.”

Just a reminder: these photos federal agents are taking are part of a growing surveillance state w no oversight. Agents use facial recognition, phone tracking, license plate readers, fused government databases built by contractors like Palantir. What was tested on immigrants is expanding to citizens

Mark Ruffalo donned an anti-ICE pin at the #GoldenGlobes in tribute to Renee Good, who was shot and killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer this week in Minneapolis. The black-and-white pin read “BE GOOD."

i think powell's response here is a demonstration of the folly of the idea that democratic accountability requires presidential control. what if the president is not acting in the public interest? you want independent agencies to be able to push back and pursue their *congressional mandate*
Powell, showing more guts than almost any GOP legislators:
"The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the Fed setting interest rates based on our best assessment of what will serve the public, rather than following the preferences of the President."

The president of the United States is extorting the Federal Reserve Board Chairman by threatening criminal prosecution if he doesn't lower interest rates.
DOJ is compromised, legacy media is cowed and Big Law is AWOL. As I wrote last year: "We are on our own."
