The winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2026 is Navi Pillay, a brave extraordinary woman who has served at the International Criminal Court prosecuting genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity. Immediately after being notified she had won, she mocked the orange felon on video. Love her. 💙👊

Trump has denied disaster relief for Illinois following severe storms in August. Trump approved a request from Indiana for damage resulting from the same storms. One is a "blue state." The other is a "red state." No other president has politicized natural disasters the way that Trump has.

I think this analysis is correct. Reports out of Russia for the last six weeks show huge diesel shortages and long lines of cars trying to get it. Russia doesn't have the diesel Trump says he's buying for them. This is all for another purpose, which is psy ops.

Trump has imposed sanctions on the International Criminal Court, and while his kids "negotiate" a Ukrainian peace deal, he's paying Putin to breach sanctions. Hegseth is live-streaming an execution by firing squad, and gave the UFC a binding contract to train the US military in hand to hand combat.

Given that Russia can't supply ITSELF with diesel – production is down a third in a year – this has nothing to do with US farmers or truckers, and everything to do with a President who will do anything to cling to authority, including selling out the West completely having firebombed the Middle East

Trump, September 2025: Europe must stop buying Russian oil that is funding the war against Ukraine! Trump, October 2026: We're going to buy 300k tons of Russian diesel even though we export ~200k tons a day of it. Why? Reasons. I want to thank President Putin! WTAF 🤯

What these guys did was bigger than Brexit. They showed how you could produce work of an academic quality and distribute it through the media, to improve the standard of national debate. I wish more organisations would learn from what was accomplished here.

For the sake of our own security, we must pursue EU membership. "But it is not Lesvure, or Merz or even Burnham who is propelling the UK back into the EU, but the efforts of Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump that are making the case for a stronger united Europe that can protect its own interests."

The people who say that their main concern is integration of refugees and migrants should be particularly happy today at her success in integrating. But I suspect they are very angry instead. It's almost as if the integration arguments are often made in bad faith.

Sometimes my wife and I like to send each other text messages as though they’re democratic fundraising messages, and I believe she has produced the jewel of the form.
, it's
and I
have some personal news to share with you.
Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I feel deeply that we should have salad tonight
This year has been challenging in many ways, and I have immense gratitude for the kindness and support of family, community, and people like you who have continued to stand by me through everything. It means the world, and I wanted you to be among the first to know that squash is in the oven and kale is in the fridge.As many of you are aware, ve been navigating one of the most challenging periods of my day while waiting for dinner.
Facing baseless federal hunger brought on by not eating since lunch, fighting for the working kids of this country, and now caring for a mean toddler and helping him grow up in a world that isn't always easy. But it has also reminded me exactly why I do this work and who I do it for.
I will never stop working to eat dinner. I will never stop fighting for what is right, even when there is also some feta in the fridge. And I will never stop being so very thankful that you are by my side in this important work and that there is tahini in the pantry for dressing
With love and gratitude,
stop to end

True, after losing all daddy’s $413M and going $3B in debt before going chapter 11 bankrupt; when no banks would loan to the shyster anymore. Trump would be a homeless popper if not for billion$ from Russian “banks”, managed by the State. He’s been. Kompromat paid employee of the Kremlin ever since.

Yes. It’s a genocide.
It's no repeat of the Holocaust, but it’s reasonable to view Gaza as a genocide underway.
