1/6/21, 6:00 pm ET: A curfew goes into effect in Washington, DC, via an order from Mayor Bowser. Law enforcement continues to clear rioters from Capitol grounds and many continue to linger around the complex even after the curfew begins.

If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money. They must hammer economic populism — and have a laser focus on the cost of living crisis in America. There’s no way the party can speak for or represent the working class in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

This is go to prison forever malfeasance. A guy who is currently a SpaceX employee also serves as an FAA official who cancels a big contract to award instead no-bid to his own employer and starts installing hardware without statutorily required tests and assurances

#Serbia Student-led anti-govt protests fill #Belgrade's Trg Slavija. Students chanting "Your hands are bloody". People are angry about many things, but the rampant crony corruption that led to the deaths of 15 people at the Novi Sad train station is the trigger. #Vucic

#Belgrade From the protest at #Slavija Although student-led, there are large numbers of families with small children, middle-class professionals, working class, etc. Lots of popular anger at #Vucic's unbridled corruption and turn to violent thug-enforced rule. #Serbia

Al-Jawlani said that their enemies are Iran and Hezbollah. I suspect that the list may now expand to include a third country. When combined with the seizure of Mt. Hermon, there's no way al-Jawlani and HTS/CMO can sweep this under the rug. #Israel #Syria

Since Russia expanded its war of aggression against Ukraine it has lost Syria and Armenia, is fighting to keep its grip on Georgia and Abkhazia, and failed to interfere with Moldovan elections. And during the same time, Finland and Sweden joined NATO. So much winning.

The Banja Luka stock exchange had a total volume today of $4,656.38. By comparison, the Sarajevo stock exchange had a volume of cc $80.7 million. Granted, this is a particularly egregious day for the BL exchange but it is indicative of broader trends; i.e. secessionism doesn't pay.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record. They run them bc people react to them the most. If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change. It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

#Serbia is at it again. This should not be viewed as anything other than an attack by one sovereign state against another, similar to Banjska. And speaking of Banjska, when will #NATO release a full, uncensored report?
