There’s a clear difference between the trade deals @mark-carney.bsky.social talked about in his Davos address and what Trump claims are deals.
Carney’s are actual agreements
Trump’s “deals” are a figment of his imagination.

Carney’s speech shows even more the arrogance of Americans.
The first few minutes are in French. Most American only speak English when the rest of the world is multilingual.
We’re so indoctrinated to our superiority as a bastion of democracy, we forgot to educate our people.

Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland.
And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.

It’s worse than it looks in Minneapolis
But locals are organizing to keep each other safe from ICE agents.

I always thought MLK’s ‘Mountaintop’ speech was his best, which was given the day before he was killed. It is especially relevant given what is happening now in MN and elsewhere. He was getting many serious threats, which he references in his line “I may not get there with you.”

Pretty obvious who they’re actually targeting….
Pew Research Institute (2023):
• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants
• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants
• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.
And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."
It's *not* about immigration.

It’s time for the Supreme Court to finally issue a ruling on tariffs. The Court has already recognized that tariffs function as a tax on the American people. A president cannot unilaterally impose new taxes on American citizens that power belongs to Congress alone.

A four-bedroom, 4,687-square-foot mid-century modern house on a 3.5-acre, sloping lot on a bluff overlooking the Illinois River on Peoria’s north end recently was listed for $975,000.
Peoria home designed by noted Chicago-area architect Paul Schweikher listed for $975,000
The low-slung, rambling house, which came on the market in mid-November, is one of Peoria’s most architecturally significant homes, said listing agent Mark Ferrill of RE/MAX.

The worker who called Trump a “pedophile protector” has been suspended.
He says he has “definitely no regrets whatsoever,” adding: “I don’t feel as though fate looks upon you often, and when it does, you better be ready to seize the opportunity. And today I think I did that.” wapo.st/4sG38CD

Also, I wonder if people get how strange it is that Bovino keeps showing up on all these raids.
He's one of the top-most CBP officials there is. It'd be like if NYPD Commish Tisch kept putting on body armor to do small drug raids in NYC all the time.
Lays bare that this is all about spectacle.
