Treat the US government and ICE claims like you'd treat a Russian government claim after they've shot down an airliner or bombed a hospital. America 2026.

A MAGA regime actively demanding escalation, sending a terrorizing force of goons who are both drunken on the idea that they can kill with impunity, but also perpetually insecure, frustrated, and aggrieved. Things will only get worse.

It truly is concerning when a powerful government creates fake images of random ordinary citizens who they have arrested and then circulate these to the public ahead of any fair legal process.

NYT y'day said NATO discussed sovereign base area model but noted it wasn't clear if this was part of deal. If it is, then it's better than absorption of all Greenland, but undeniably an infringement of Danish sovereignty & still a land grab under coercion. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2026...

Amazing moment on French TV. A French judge explains how Trump sent people from the US Embassy basically trying to intimidate her during Le Pen's trial for embezzlement - something they've done to other judges around the world.

Het is lang. Maar het is zondagochtend. En dit is ook voor een digibeet heel goed te begrijpen. De reden waarom ik stemde zoals ik stemde. Europa (de hele wereld eigenlijk) moet dit fixen. Maar er lijken zo weinig mensen van op de hoogte te zijn. Of te begrijpen hoe eng/erg dit is.

There could be Western fighter planes helping to protect millions of Ukrainian civilians from Russia's terror campaign to cut the supply of electricity, heating, and water during this exceptionally cold winter.
