The media arm of the party that is running cover for a pedophilia sex trafficking ring that implicates their president thinks the *real* problem is that not enough teenagers are getting pregnant these days.

"Iran is negotiating an end to the blockade on the Strait of Hormuz by allowing countries to pass if they shift from US Dollar to Chinese Yuan for oil trades." It'll cost the US $3 trillion a year; weaken the Dollar, trigger hyperinflation then recession and depression.

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

Here in Texas, we lost 21 people in an horrific school shooting in Uvalde. We’re still talking about that sad loss. We should be. In contrast, over the weekend, well over 100 Iranian girls, aged 7-12, were killed at school—a loss of at least 5 times the young lives as here. NO MEDIA COVERAGE! None.

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Every social theory undergirding Trumpism has been broken on the steel of Minnesotan resolve. The multiracial community in Minneapolis was supposed to shatter. It did not. It held until Bovino was forced out of the Twin Cities with his long coat between his legs.

The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive—because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about “Western civilization,” while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

We did predict it. And we were called alarmist.
Screenshot of a tweet from Paul Graham "If someone had predicted before the last election that if Trump won, federal officers would be shooting Americans in the streets, he'd have been dismissed as an alarmist."

Minneapolis and Saint Paul have basically mobilized into a war economy of mutual aid and non-violent defense. I’ve never seen anything like it, even during Covid. People who barely vote are guarding their schools from ICE and doing the shopping for neighbors in hiding.

This is a really important story, and one that explains the place of the Hmong community in the Twin Cities and why this entire occupation is really just ethnic cleansing (my words). Also, props to Marisa for doing the work to get this story right when so many out-of-town journalists have failed.

The most infallible sign that fascists are planning to do something is that they accuse the groups they villainise of doing it. What do fascists in the US accuse others of doing? Rigging elections, censoring dissent, purging media, committing genocide, indoctrinating children, starting wars.

When will we all wake up and see what it is that Trump and his allies are doing? He has opened up the possibility of war in Venezuela, Iran, Cuba, and Greenland and on domestic soil in Minnesota. It gives him the ability to be a "war" president.

Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.

I swear DHS recruited a bunch of frustrated former high school bullies as ICE agents. And they really had to explain to them that hurt feelings don’t justify brute force. LEAKED: After the ICE shooting of Renee Good, agents received a mandatory “legal refresher” on civil rights and use of force.

We are at a point where state and local police are repeatedly investigating federal law enforcement for systemically illegal behavior. To the point that even CBS News has to note that pretty high up in the article. A truly bad sign, at least in the short run (hoping prompts real change in future).
The Colorado Bureau of Investigation said on Thursday that it's investigating the use of force by an anonymous, masked agent against a woman at the protest, as well as any "state criminal law violations during the incident." That agent's actions could be seen in multiple videos.
