Cambodia is recognizing the life-saving contributions of a rat named Magawa with a statue. The late rat sniffed out landmines for a non-profit group, and in a short career helped find more than 100.
A crucial part of Project 2029 has to be performative trials and draconian sentencing for Trump administration officials up and down the organizational ladder. Treat all of them like Timothy McVeigh so that the gravity of their criminality and treason become enduring images in American history.

Moreover, the report cites a lack of trust by the Kurds in the US — stemming from the fact that they fought ISIS together but feel Trump then abandoned them in favor of Syria’s Ahmad al-Sharaa and Erdogan. They would thus either be murdered if they failed or again come out empty-handed if successful.
Among the details of this report on the insane plan to use Kurds to spark an uprising in Iran is that -- go figure -- the Kurds didn't trust the guy who sold them out once already.
The whole thing, tho, is a chronicle of the magical thinking behind Iran war.

⚡️ NATO Chief Mark Rutte says Russia is suffering staggering losses and moving through Ukraine at the "speed of a garden snail."
To all our international friends attending the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony in Milan tomorrow:

If you have not yet read @adamserwer.bsky.social on Minnesotans' heroics, you are going to feel way better when you do. He went there. He talked to the people doing the work. Then he thought about it and produced something rare. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0... [gift link]
"House Democrats should get themselves to Minneapolis. Immediately. They should be on the street themselves, cameras out and recording, observing and putting their bodies on the line."
If this ballot measure passes in 9 days in Maine, it will upend the rules of elections in that state in the future — starting, you know it, with next year’s Senate race.
It was pushed by a conservative organization that is aiming to shift the state to a GOP majority.

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.
Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.
No Kings Rally Trump Inauguration
This is so beautiful!!

More of this please. #WayToGoGeorge
Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.
An idea:

Sen. Ossoff successfully pressured the Trump Administration to reinstate support for foster children.
3 weeks ago, I was denied entry to the NV Southern Detention Center. Today, I saw delays in medical care, limited access to attorneys, and detainees moved in the dead of night. I’ve urged @HouseAppropsGOP to investigate DHS’s noncompliance starting with my denial.
ICE is offering up to $50,000 in signing bonuses to recruit 10,000 new agents in 2025. The new campaign includes student loan forgiveness and enhanced retirement benefits. If successful, ICE would become the largest federal law enforcement agency in the nation. The effort is backed by the One Big Beautiful Bill and promoted by DHS and Secretary Kristi Noem. Recruitment is targeting cities, college campuses, and law enforcement communities nationwide.
Guess who is eligible for #StudentLoanForgiveness? First responders? Healthcare workers? Teachers?
No.
#ICE agents.
Your tax dollars at work.

Couldn't wear masks for the good of humanity, but will when abandoning it. Why hide if they're doing nothing wrong?

BREAKING:
The GOP-led House Budget Committee just voted to reject Trump's big budget bill — an embarrassing setback for Republicans.
Five conservative hardliners joined all Democrats in voting against the bill.
Constituents to Chuck Grassley: "Are you bringing back that guy from El Salvador?"
Senior Citizen: “If I get an order to pay a ticket to pay $1200 and I just say ‘no’, does that stand up? Because he just got an order from the Supreme Court and he just said ‘screw it’”
“I’M PISSED!”
BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year.
Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.
