Whew!
Hillary Clinton this morning on the US-Iran talks that fell apart:
“This is hard, disciplined effort that has to go into diplomacy to reach any results. And I don’t see this administration either wanting to do it or, frankly, being capable of doing it…”
Kaine: "You don't sucker punch somebody in a bar and then blame your buddies when they don't join the fight with you. If the president wanted the support of allies, he should've respected them instead of putting tariffs on their economies and trash talking them."
After working with the U.S. military in Afghanistan, Mohommad Nazeer Paktyawal died in the country he spent years of his life helping.
The cruelty is endless.
This moment from Feb 2025 may go down as one of the most prescient exchanges in modern diplomatic history. Zelenskyy warned Trump that while the United States may feel protected by an ocean today, a time could come when America would need help in war. Trump scolded him instead.
Early studies suggest versions of mRNA vaccines could be effective against certain kinds of cancer too. Now companies will have to wonder if the animus towards mRNA vaccine will spill over into those efforts too.
Great, just great.
This is not the type of development you would normally expect a pharmaceutical company to broadcast. But that’s because there’s nothing normal about the way the federal government is behaving.

The history of Black Canadians is one of relentless progress, earned through perseverance, and carried forward by opening doors for so many to follow.
This week, we celebrated 30 years of Black History Month in Canada.
Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.
SEN. @hickenlooper.senate.gov : “Death cards left behind by ICE agents — cards with white supremacist history left in detained immigrants' abandoned cars… Imagine finding your brother's empty car with one of these in the driver's seat. Cruelty for the sake of cruelty."

I want to let you know about something that happened at Pizza Luce and encourage you to thank and patronize them. One of the drivers at Parkway Pizza who is a friend of mine told me tonight about something that happened at the downtown Mpls Pizza Lucé where his wife works. A kitchen manager has been giving rides to workers afraid to take public transportation to work. Last week, two ICE SUVs pulled her over. There was a young Latina women in the car and ICE grabbed her. She is here legally, but apparently, if you are not white, you need to carry a passport or other documents with you. Despite the fact that she is here legally, ICE flew her to their detention facility outside of El Paso, TX. Fortunately, the owner of the Pizza Lucé chain paid for a lawyer to expedite her release. Unfortunately, when ICE is forced to release people they have unlawfully detained and flown to Texas, they do not fly them back. They just dump them on the streets of El Paso. But again, fortunately, the owner of Pizza Lucé paid for a plane ticket to fly her home. So please thank the folks at Pizza Lucé if you have the chance. Dozens of Minnesotans have not been so lucky as this woman and are trying to find their way back from Texas. Today's NY Times has a story about "Selamawit Mehari, an Eritrean single mother of three.... federal agents showed up at her apartment in St. Paul...(even though) her older daughter produced paperwork proving her mother was in the United States lawfully, the agents shackled Ms. Mehari and took her away." The story cites many like her who "were eventually released in Texas, leaving them to find their own way home."
From FB regarding Pizza Luce in Minnesota.
I like it when I can do something to help people displaced by ICE and then after I do that thing I get to eat a pizza.
Public outrage, sustained attention, and effort by elected officials can together make a real difference.
Mayor Frey: “What's become clear to me is this is obviously not about safety. This is not even about immigration. This is about silencing a narrative or a political position that differs from that of a federal administration.”
Sacrificing the health of your children to own the libs and because nobody is the boss of you
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
Stay free
The son of a veteran who died in 2024 says Alex Pretti, who was fatally shot by a Border Patrol agent in Minneapolis, Minnesota, was his dad's ICU nurse and read out a final salute after his father's death.
This is our country. This is our future. The choice is ours.
We choose Canada.

“People think we’re not at the level of crisis yet. But we are: with the Canadians, with NATO, Great Britain, the Danes, the French, talking about us as if we are a putative enemy at this point. All because of these deranged plans from one man…” — Tom Nichols

American officers know what Trump is planning, and their minds will rebel at directives to take everything they’ve prepared to do for years and apply it backwards, against the allies they have trained to work with and protect.

Hey, so, WTF is up with this?
The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same
There’s a bitter irony in these headlines.
I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.
Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.
Why are you normalizing this imperialist insanity? Other nations do not exist as products for American consumption. Greenland has tens of thousands of inhabitants, who have made it abundantly clear that they are not interested. Doesn't the U.S.A. have more pressing issues to address? Stay focussed.

AOC: Trump has been saying the economy is booming, but it’s really only seven tech companies. They’re driving this growth in just one sector: AI.
So the entire economic growth can be tracked down to seven companies and their AI expansion…
