This is some dystopian BS right here
Russian Telegram channels report a large fire at Balashikha,Moscow It is reported that warehouses belonging to the Balashikha Experimental Chemical Plant&the TDK company,which distributes household chemicals,have caught fire. According to eyewitnesses,the flames have spread to nearby structures.
I had breakfast with a friend who works at the State Departmentābeen there for more than 10 yrs working at a very important desk. What he described is a shambolic State: things falling thru the cracks, sporadic cooperation with other agencies at best, morale is very low, ppl retiring, etc
Peter Jukes āThis is the enduring lesson of Weimar: extremism never triumphs on its own. It succeeds because others enable itābecause of their ambition, because of their fear, or because they misjudge the dangers of small concessionsā. www.foreignaffairs.com/germany/hitl...
This āexplicitā is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. Itās not ambiguous.

Axios: Trump considering stepping back from Ukraine peace talks. WH official: āWe are going to sit back and watch. Let them fight it out for a while and see what happens.ā Truly a smashing success, that Alaska summit.

KKKaroline Leavitt refers to Dr. Monarez as āMs. Monarez.ā For women with a doctoral degree (not an MD), this is extremely offensive coming from a woman whose biggest accomplishment seems to be suckling from the teat of a weird man-baby with cankles and horcrux hands. #sexism #tradidiots
When a president decides to disregard the will of the American people, youāre right, thatās the mark of authoritarian rule. The White House has notified Congress that it plans to cancel $4.9 billion in foreign aid funding that lawmakers had already approved, doing so without their consent.

Oh I remember only too well. Was dx'd with 4th stg cancer and had to spend most of the fall/winter 2020 in the hospital. Much of the time I couldnt have visitors because of COVID. An absolutely lonely and terrifying time for me.

Lots of right-wing political pastors and charlatans about to get rich from FEMA money.
A federal judge has ordered Florida to shut down "Alligator Alcatraz," after the state spent a staggering $218M to build the now-vacant detention camp. Closing it will run taxpayers another $20M. An utterly cruel and costly waste.

The goal is as much about desensitizing the population to masked gestapo with no identification as it is about terrifying and traumatizing the population with masked gestapo with no identification. The goal is for these kids to grow up thinking it's normal.
Here's what the third day of elementary school looked like in Mount Pleasant, Washington DC.
I said this months ago but I really need a BLUE STATE COMPACT IMMEDIATELY. Bring together all health depts, all education depts, etc... under one umbrella. Collectivize guidance, ensure that disabled students get what they need, etc... An emergency meeting of all Blue State Governors is overdue.

Danish state TV says men with close connections to Trump are trying to infiltrate Greenland - one of them arguably is creating list of local people who would support Trump's desire to take over Greenland www.dr.dk/nyheder/indl...
National Guard at the south entrance of the Dupont Circle metro and overlooking the platform. The ones topside told my friend they were from South Carolina, mechanized infantry. And yeah, one of the NG is carrying an M4 carbine assault rifle. (hopefully I got that right)
Trump's use of red state National Guards in DC is really about viciously turning Americans against each other, about stoking hate and violence *among Americans.* JB Pritzker's response is so good because it lays *this* bare. Me and @brianbeutler.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/1997...
My latest in @newrepublic.com: an urgent plea to recognize the humanity of DC residents, their longtime second-class citizenship and need āshould democracy not already be lost foreverāfor statehood. āWashington, D.C., residents are the most powerless canary in the most authoritarian coal mine.ā
New, from me: America is no longer a functioning democracy. It is a competitive authoritarian system, hurtling rapidly toward authoritarianism. This was a hard piece to write but we can't move forward if we donāt acknowledge where we are. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-author...
If you are wondering what the list does look like in regards to the conditions and risk factors.
This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends weāve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.
Damn you probably should've done something about the far right having infiltrated state and local police since this FBI report came out a whole two years before your first presedential term nsarchive.gwu.edu/document/243...

I know it's illegal on here to notice that our leaders are actually fighting back in the job we actually elected them to do, but here's the Wall Street Journal bitching about Schumer's "historic" delaying tactics that have left almost 90% of Trump appointee slots empty. archive.ph/2025.08.27-0...

I have friends and family who voted for this inhumanity. They are dead to me. #maganazis
If RFK Jr. will not resign, he must be impeached and removed, for the sake of the nation's health and safety.
Where is Trumpās attention to this matter?
He's their useful idiot. As long as they can implement their hateful agenda they don't care what he says or does.
Trump did force the Army Corps of Emgineers to release a lot of water to the Pacific Ocean they was keeping in reservoirs for cultivating crops thus summer. The opposite of what he is saying. None of that water made it to within 200 miles of the LA wildfire. www.npr.org/2025/02/07/n...

Word is Trump already has covert forces tucked away in Greenland. Think about that. While Americans are arguing over gas prices...heās planting the seeds of a shadow empire on ice...proving Project 2025 isnāt just domestic. Itās global...and itās moving fast.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says frozen Russian assets shouldnāt be immediately confiscated, calling them a negotiation tool with Putin. The question remains: who gave Bessent the authority to bargain with assets meant for Ukraineās recovery?
Pure evil
A whistleblower has revealed that the Trump administration is uploading the confidential Social Security information of millions to an insecure cloud server, putting our data at a high risk of being leaked or hacked.

DC RESIDENTS YELL AT FEDERAL, LOCAL GOONS DURING ARREST NEAR SCHOOL DROP OFF
Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many of us, while simultaneously preventing others ā Congress, the courts, the American people ā from having a say or even knowing what heās going to do next. This is what dictatorship looks like.
Iāll take things that never happened for $500.
Maine folks, take note.
The Minnesota shooter seems more or less straight out of the nihilistic violent extremist handbook. There's echoes of Columbine, Sandy Hook, etc. here. In one clip you could "Ted K." (unabomber) and "Robert Bowers" (Pittsburgh) written on his guns. He referenced Adam Lanza in his screed.
Krasner: So, if what you have is a group of ICE agents, or even the military, coming into Philadelphia and committing crimesāassaults that are illegal, kidnapping, unlawful restraint, obstruction of the administration of justiceāthey can be prosecuted.
Whew! Sen. Susan Collins should be āvery concernedā She showed up as the main guest at a ribbon-cutting in Searsport, Maine. It backfired. The crowd was not happy to have her: āShame. Shame. Shame.ā
Federal Emergency Management Agency suspended over 30 employees after they wrote to Congress warning that the Trump administration had severely weakened the nationās ability to respond to hurricanes, floods,
Really think one of the most dangerous sentences Iāve ever heard in my life is āthis would never happen here.ā
"For those people out there who ... say, 'Well, I just don't like those people either' ... You could be next. ... This is not about any one individual, this is about our rights as Americans, and our right to have a justice system where choices about prosecuting are made without fear or favor."
Pritzker: Over the last four years, we have seen homicides drop in half. Thatās something the President should pay attention to. I know he doesnāt read but I know he watches TV so perhaps if someone from Fox or Newsmax is here
If you burn an American flag, you get a year in jail. If you attack a Capitol police officer with an American flag, you get a pardon.
Stuart Stevens on National Guard deployment: "The murder rate of Jackson, Mississippi is 3 times that of D.C.... the whole thing is complete fraud"
For folks not in DC: - There are full-on police checkpoints most nights - Gangs of 30+ federal agents roam DC - National Guard folks w/ guns patrolling a Harris Teeter - Every day, multiple friends see ICE kidnapping ppl - Daycares are scared to have kids go on walks due to ICE
Stephen Miller is completely full of shit, and he knows it. He's selling hatred of cities to people who do not live in cities and are scared of them.
Gov. Pritzkerās wonderful news conference was one of the finest Iāve ever witnessed. I hope every local, cable & national newscast would show this in its entirety tonight. He struck gold with every word. It was eloquent, persuasive, clear-minded and captivating. It was a grand slam. Thank you.
Letās all take a moment to reflect on how this just absolute alpha male sprayed on his hair for TV
