And MSM including @msnowreports.bsky.social is carrying on like evil, dangerous, demented Trump won something. Really, the Strait of Hormuz was open to all before Trump’s illegal war. And what about Traitor Trump’s threat to destroy an entire civilization, war crime threat?
here is a story we reported this story two years ago that remains very relevant.
Zheng Yi Sao led 1,800 ships and anywhere between 40,000-60,000 pirates before peacefully retiring on her own terms.

It should probably be bigger news that there's a war between two of the largest countries in the world happening

The Supreme Court:
I'm so tired of this shit. Stop insinuating that people you don't like are gay as some sort of gotcha.
Wow did he sure crash out today..

The last thing we need in an industry that's not exactly notorious for honesty is a writer with no conscience or capacity for shame who doesn't know when they're lying. We don't want this, we don't need this, and it only serves the rich who wagered all of our futures on a bet.

In turns fascinating, terrifying, and deeply depressing, this series is must-read to understand how we got here.
Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.) If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.
A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

It's actually pretty staggering watching the US news media slowly resign itself to the reality that there won't be any more federal elections.
Masking is not about doxing. That is the excuse. They are wearing masks so people cannot identify agents who engage in abuses, civil rights violations, and crimes. You can’t report someone or hold them accountable in any way if you can’t identify them.

After this week, I have no plans to return to the U.S. anytime soon.
What's happening there is absolutely sickening.
Sincerely, fuck Trump, fuck ICE and fuck every single person who's supported them.
All of that is to say: publishers, please hold more events elsewhere, like Canada or Europe!
"I said this to the president: I meant what I said in Davos. It was clear it was a broader set of issues that Canada was the first country to understand—the change in U.S. trade policy that he had initiated—and we're responding to that," says PM Carney re: call with U.S. President Trump.

The UCP government should simply do the right thing and respect human rights, respect individual freedom, and respect medical doctors’ autonomy and professionalism. Rescind this discriminatory and hurtful legislation.

DHS says it “has body cam footage of the Pretti incident.” If the agency had real, untouched footage worth seeing, we would have heard about it days ago…you know, when multiple bystanders released footage from multiple angles showing a man being executed by their agents.
“Join National Nurses United RN members in a week-long series of actions to honor Pretti and all who have been murdered by ICE, as well as demand that Congress vote to immediately abolish this violent, racist, and lawless agency that poses a dire public health threat to all of our communities.”
As a VA nurse, Alex Pretti was a member of AFGE. This union also reps Border Patrol, and may have repped Pretti's killer. I talked to VA workers who are furious and want Border Patrol out of AFGE. "For a union member to kill another is a fundamental betrayal of what a union is supposed to be.”
It's hard to figure out if I'll ever find the perfect balance between hope and despair, but here's the closest I've come. new on the blog.

Canada must pull out now. 🍁
