Some insiders have theorized that the White House installed Fugate to oversee a pivot away from traditional counterterrorism and to steer resources toward MAGA-friendly sheriffs and border security projects before eventually shuttering operations. (Published June)

Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale co-founded the University of Austin Texas (UATX) in 2021. UATX’s recent “Convocation Address” was titled, “In Defense of Inequality.” “To the class of 2029: you have chosen to rebel. Not against hierarchy, but against its abandonment.” 1/ x.com/uaustinorg/s...
Don’t worry. Exxon will save them
American agent dressed in training clothes, carrying huge waterbottle and a fanny pack, doing the American Lean, while speaking loudly and asking for where the nearest Starbucks is... He was identified before even leaving the airport. I mean, for gods sake, what happened to CIA?
This is the second time in two days that Russia is trying to intimidate Ursula von der Leyen. Russia has now figured out that it is EU who are their main enemy, and the powerhouse of resistance against them on the global stage. 1/2
What was the first time??
Okay. I just came back to this and you aren’t calling these efforts resegregation yet, you absolutely should be
Wow. I feel naive. Thinking it was ever meant to do anything substantially good.
"Fun really is the name of the game for Trump & co. It’s fun for them to see a majority-Democratic city like DC live in fear of violence/deportation, to flood the trains/buses with armed law enforcement just because they can, to unleash troops who understand that they will not be held accountable."
Evil
Question, through my frustration and rage. Can these orgs like the UN just decide to throw out anyone committing genocide? Do they just need to disband and start anew? This is madness. The US, russia, and Israel. No consequences. Ever.
He’s going to do that anyway!!!
For those who think the Trump administration is speedrunning the German 1930s by following Hitler’s playbook, today is the anniversary of Operation Himmler, a series of false flag events which gave Hitler the justification for war.
They’ve fully bought the court and most don’t seem to care and Dems won’t do anything and never have. Incredibly evil, corrupt, shameful
Leonard Leo ally Tim Busch has called SCOTUS the “Leo Court,” explaining that Trump “radically changed” the direction of SCOTUS by appointing (anti-abortion) justices “shepherded” by Leo, who he says is “one of the big supporters of the Napa Institute” (founded by Busch). 1/
This assessment seems to be based on pervasive, but wildly ahistorical assumptions about fascism. There is the idea that fascism wasn’t superstitious and "criminally mad" - yet many of the leading fascists were crooks, quacks, and charlatans who believed in pseudo-science and Volkish hocus-pocus.
Let that number sink in. This is how to do it when you’re fighting for the future of your democracy.
Indeed. Always hard for me to like the explodey posts. Though Ukraine wouldn’t need to do it if we’d given them what they needed from the start.
Ukraine has currently disrupted 17% of Russia’s oil refining production. If they can get the level to 30%, domestic demand would far exceed supply. That’s when things start to fall apart. (Data by Rochan Consulting)
The man’s a blithering idiot. The whole Trump administration is an experiment to discover if you can run a country with people you stumble across on a golf course.
😂
Not good. Of course the whole world wishes his boss well.

Russians have actually said this out loud.
Meanwhile, they fired a researcher (along with their entire division) who may have found an actual, verifiable, link to autism. Hint: the answer wasn't vaccines, but you already knew that. www.psypost.org/scientist-wh...
Sadists
Please keep saying this. The oligarchs would love for it to happen and some will continue to try and do their bidding.
I understand this impulse but secession by any state is a form of national suicide. There is no form of it where Americans, inside or outside the seceding state, are better off. Everything about our lives becomes instantly unstable and a lot of people die in the process.

Insane.
Five years ago, YouTube suspended MAGA propaganda outlet OAN, saying it was not an “authoritative” source of information. But today it celebrated a carriage deal beaming the network into millions of homes on YouTube TV. The timing is no coincidence, via @status.news www.status.news/p/youtube-oa...
this is a scene straight out of a war zone. the president has declared war on his own country.
She said it’s a distraction??
Fuck this fucking shitshow of a man. Israel. Russia. He is a buffoon.
They detained firefighters??
Eventually someone is going to really take on Israel. I can’t wait. I hope all the Israelis who aren’t racist genocidal assholes get out of there safely.
Obviously everyone in the world wishes the President well.
Ukraine has never actually banned the russian language. russia has poisoned their culture on their own. It is marred by their own doing — war crimes and terror. No piece of legislation could do this better, even if there was one.
Omg #nafo if you haven’t seen them you’ve got to check this out. So awesome how they troll drunk russians. While singing great Ukrainian songs. And spreading the love. Just amazing. Losiankovers www.instagram.com/losiankovers...
Unfortunately people are dumb, in general.
These fuckers. It’s always them.
Leonard was the cosmetic oligarch who threw the 1986 luncheon where Trump was introduced the Soviet ambassador and led to his first trip to Moscow in 1987. His brother Ronald was the one who kept telling Trump to annex Greenland in his first term. Every billionaire is a policy failure.
Indeed lol
This story is from November 15, 2024. They keep harassing Greenland like an imperialist sex pest.
Allies don’t do this to each other. It’s also happening to us here in Alberta, Canada. The Trump Regime has made the US an enemy to patriotic Albertans. Sociopaths run the US now and they don’t take no for an answer. The separatists are awash with money. It’s vile and won’t be forgiven ever.
The US is engaging in “active measures” in Greenland.
Greenland has been a Sudetenland for the Nerd Reich for a while.
Transnational crime syndicate acting as a government.
Thank you
Also my organization @interruptcrim.bsky.social along with our partners Community Justice Exchange and Critical Resistance created a jury nullification toolkit that seems more topical than ever: beyondcourts.org/en/act/votin...

The messaging from this administration has the same vibe as a cross set ablaze in someone’s front yard. It’s about communicating menace and instilling terror, the opposite of what the government of a free and democratic society should be doing.
Fucking awful. Does this mean they’re sending him to Uganda?? What’s next?
This explains a lot. 😡 www.wsj.com/business/ene...

Trump’s America is starting to look a lot like Mao’s China.
Jesus Christ. If your credit isn’t frozen at all three bureaus, I would strongly consider doing that now
I can’t believe anyone is left who doesn’t understand what’s coming next.
Completely. Never ending.
They are sadists.
I hope they both received care and are recovering. Russians are fucking monsters.
Such fucking monsters. I hope they both received needed care and are recovering.
⚡️Ukraine is now the most mine-contaminated country since WWII: 139,000 km² littered with explosives—bigger than England—threatening millions of civilians and farmland.
This fucker
Heartbreaking. Do you know if the man and his dog that russia dropped a drone on are ok? Did they get some care? The video is really making its way around now.
No integrity
Madness.
They’re not making the slightest pretense of doing anything but weaponizing a federal agency against Trump’s enemies, and the New York Times’ response is “Well played, sire!”
😂
Not so weird. Wired is owned by Conde Nast who has a partnership deal with OpenAI. www.condenast.com/news/conde-n...
Millions of people were too dumb or too selfish to care
This pretty much sums up russian culture. Boo hoo now go to the front lines I guess.
And russia. Mostly Russia at this point.
it is unconscionable that this is how @apnews.com reports a deadly IDF strike that KILLED ONE OF THEIR OWN FREELANCERS
Going to be a lot of trumpy ex-pats throughout LA getting mean looks and maybe more.
Indeed. MSM is shit here.
Fucking politico
Kash Patel's camera setup for his 50 pull-up/100 push-up challenge is suspiciously off. Also, does no one in MAHA know about range of motion? Not one pull-up or push-up detected. (And yes, it was my job to teach form in fitness classes for decades.)

Interested to see what he will do if Trump invades
What will he do when Trump invades?
What I wonder is what with the governor do when it happens.

Remember all those times over the last ten years that I warned you that Jill Stein was a grifter Notice you hear NOTHING from her during all these things that are terrible for the environment, terrible for the world, and terrible for people in need in our country Don't listen to her nonsense later
Why it’s almost as if the Dems do not actually object to Trump but function as controlled opposition! Maybe people will finally believe it now that they’ve put it in writing…
What’s remarkable about this memo from a prominent Dem data guy is that it… 1) advocates for Dems to not publicly challenge Trump’s deepening descent into authoritarianism 2) gives Trump suggestions on how to better message this dangerous consolidation of power
If you’re mad about Dems avoiding talking about DC, you can blame the Democratic quants, as demonstrated in this memo from David Shor’s Blue Rose Research
I really need a gift article for this one please!!
Thanks
Pretty striking for the BMJ to run this piece. “[Immunity debt’s] explanatory power has faded as the number of non-covid infections has kept rising each year.”
It is jaw droppingly naïve at this point to honestly believe that the authoritarian regime currently using masked, plainclothes agents to kidnap people into concentration camps and deport them into slavery, and who is currently occupying the capital, will allow you to vote them out of power.
