A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.
We mustn’t let this war do so.
The Atlantic finally catching up with what some of us have been saying for *years*
People in winter clothes at a vigil for Alex Pretti. One person in a medical mask and gloves holds a poster that says JUSTICE FOR ALEX PRETTI. A headline reads: "Alex Pretti, the Man Killed by Agents, Was a Nurse and U.S. Citizen" Photo by David Guttenfelder/The New York Times
Alex Pretti, who was fatally shot by Border Patrol agents on Saturday, was a registered nurse who worked in the ICU at the Veterans Affairs hospital in Minneapolis. “He wanted to be helpful, to help humanity and have a career that was a force of good in the world,” a colleague said. trib.al/0Yb3jXF
Kristi Noem and DHS don’t want us to see this video.
📌 Alex was disarmed BEFORE he was shot. This was murder.
I won’t stop reporting on the Epstein survivors fight for transparency, no matter how loud the headlines get or how many they roll out.
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."
We see you Minnesota 👏🏽
Trump's standing in the world was emphasized by the fact no one greeted him on arrival at Davos.
The new leader of the free world.
American cable news saying that Prime Minister Mark Carney’s speech at Davos is one of the greatest speeches of the 21st century.
====================
There's something so very cringe-worth and sadly unsurprising for Trump to tell the people of Davos, located in the German-speaking Graubünden Canton of Switzerland, that "if it were not for the USA, you'd be speaking German."
After an ICE agent killed Renee Nicole Good, JD Vance quickly said agents have "absolute immunity."
Now, he's trying to convince us he never said that.

Trump:
"NATO has treated the United States very badly. We've never asked for anything. We've never got anything."
Tell that to the families of 850 soldiers from 19 non-US NATO countries who died fighting to defend the United States in Afghanistan - the only occasion Article 5 was ever triggered.
Markwayne Mullen sits at a congressional hearing desk
Sen. Markwayne Mullin bought up to $50K each in Raytheon stock (RTX) & Chevron (CVX) just days before the U.S. strike on Venezuela—
Mullin sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee — I’m sure it’s just a coincidence..
A month after the Epstein files deadline, only a fraction of DOJ records have been released.
Does no one have the power to confront this obstruction of justice or are we to be “ok” with the fact we now are ruled by a dictator.
They will do anything to not be caught up in the Epstein files. No matter what lives are lost or who we have to bomb in the process. It’s simple if we find out the truth on the Epstein files the GOP and all of them are going down including the supreme court.

"Israel Is Banning the 'Last Foreign Witnesses' to Its Genocide in Gaza"
In a likely deadly move, the Israeli government told 37 foreign aid groups, including Doctors Without Borders, they could no longer operate in Palestine. Where is the outrage, asks Diana Buttu for Zeteo?
Why have links that need a subscription to read ? 🤔
OMG‼️😢
Remember the first few months of this year, when all we talked about was DOGE and spending cuts and waste, and this administration gutted USAID?
And now they’re giving $40 billion (!) to Argentina.
Insane the amount of amnesia in this country and in our politics and media.
First TED Talk of 2024 is a conversation between Israeli and Palestinian activists: 'Hope is an action'
I’m so proud to call both of these men my brothers and friends. I love them very much, they are bright lights of courage and hope in a very dark time.
