The Plague heard who was in charge and cancelled it's marketing budget.

Is it Trump's plan to go through every amendment and systematically undermine them?

Do we not live in the best of all possible worlds? We should feel honored.

7 years ago, we learned about Bob Mueller’s conclusions. Today, there are a lot of posts on social media claiming it was a farce, or worse, a fraud. But those posts are disinformation. Here is the actual information, with links for those who want to do a deep dive. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius: “There will be no military participation.. We have a situation which we did not provoke.. This war started without any consultations.. What does Trump expect from a handful of European frigates in Strait of Hormuz that the mighty US Navy can't manage alone?"

HORRIFIC: the Trump admin is reportedly planning to dump hundreds of parents and children arrested in the interior (including Minneapolis) into extraordinarily dangerous Mexican border towns, and make them run a gauntlet of kidnappers if they want kangaroo court hearings.

A British executive who managed to grab a seat later told me he wanted to be in the room, “if only because seeing Trump in the wild is like a zoological experience.” www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/0...

Good Carnegie Endowment story worth reading--governments are increasingly willing to bear the costs of internet shutdowns if they see immediate payoffs.

‘Terrible things are happening outside… Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. Women return… to find their families gone.’ Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Brutal poll showing how fleeting Trump's progress was with young and minority voters. Worse than where he started from.

On #MLKDay, we remember Mariam Kaba's call that "hope is a discipline." Our new zine explores how creators sustain political hope through expression and community. It asks: What gives you political hope right now? Read it here: www.transformationalchange.co/news-stories...

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

The Labor Department in recent days has done multiple posts echoing QAnon phrases. QAnon influencers in response have declared vindication. One of them wrote the department "is Q posting. … This is not debatable now. If you like it, cool. If you don’t like it, too bad. It’s happening." My latest:

NEW: Data released by ICE shows that virtually the entire growth of detention in the last few months has been among people with no criminal record at all - no prior convictions (no matter how minor) and no pending criminal charges.

The Trump administration’s brazen military assault risks causing a new human rights disaster for Venezuelans. The US appears poised to actively encourage Venezuela to maintain Nicolás Maduro’s repressive apparatus as long as it furthers US interests.

At least his unlawful belligerence is consistent.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: Trump “will try to take what he wants—that's true whether it's in a department store dressing room, or a majority of the American electorate telling him no, or the head of a sovereign foreign state telling him no, or our NATO allies, or the courts, or the Constitution.”

Hard to see how Hegseth thinks this is a winning strategy, particularly since he had expressed similar views about not following illegal orders about a decade ago.

Be realistic, demand the impossible!

Trump has now pardoned a murderous drug lord who smuggled 400 tons of cocaine into the country, AND the guy who ran the Dark Web's biggest drug marketplace.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration. But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants. The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

RT @BillKristol: ICE is provoking violence, and rhetoric coming from Trumpists about their desire for an authoritarian strongman is alarming. But some governors and judges are trying to defend the republic. And Dems should consider broadening their aims in the shutdown.
