WOW. @haleaziz.bsky.social with a new scoop: ICE now gets a running list of every person who is going to be taking a domestic flight inside the United States from the TSA and runs it through their database looking for targets. This explains the Babson College student's arrest.

In case you know anyone enriching tyrannical tech juggernauts that treat business/financial talk/activity as replacements for living a life or thinking about society in any & every case.
They want control & a little bit of it demands more of it. It's their heroin.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

This is the first I've heard of this and that is messed up. Really want to know how alarming the interactions between Witkoff and his counterparts in Russia are to career diplomats now.
Why is this happening right after Kushner's entrance on the scene. Will he receive $100b to manage this time?

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

Already bracing for the absolutely unhinged antisemitism that this scenario will unleash.
President Donald Trump is about to get what he wants -- a Fed chair willing to cut rates deeply. But long-term borrowing costs, including mortgages, aren't going to budge as long as the economy is strong.
Trump May Get the Rate Cuts He Wants — But Not Cheaper Mortgages
Black Friday showed the US consumer remains strong, just as we discussed in this newsletter last week. While this is good news for stocks, much of what we consume, save and invest revolves around interest rates. And I have some bad news for you: higher borrowing costs are here to stay.

That those interpretations can be presented & accepted as what was meant to paint a completely different picture; making a mountain out of a molehill.

We isn't the right subject pronoun to use here if he is talking about Americans. Maybe a distinct category within American but it is obvious their identity is racial which is in opposition to the ideals the US is founded on. Which is why they eventually lose, on a national scale, every time.
