GERMAN PRESIDENT STEINMEIER:

“.. the United States has broken with the values that it helped to establish ..

“.. we have now moved beyond the stage where we can lament the lack of respect for international law or the erosion of the international order; we are far beyond that, I believe.”

We’d like to dedicate our final post for the day to the brave law enforcement officials who fought an angry mob on this day, five years ago. May their unwavering dedication to the service of our nation give us the strength we need to carry on in this fight against fascism.

Good night, friends.

Hey asshole, you’re fucking part of Congress

I am in disbelief that this Congress still hasn’t found the political will to do something as basic, as decent, as installing a plaque to honor the law enforcement officers who protected the Capitol on January 6.

Gov. Jeff Landry: "Many executives have called me and said, 'We're willing to go into Venezuela if the oil companies go in.' Men and women are ready to go down there and to supply our refineries along the Gulf Coast with the crude we need to keep gas prices low."

Reformed January 6th participant (who refused a pardon): “You can't gaslight me. I was there. I saw the officers being pepper sprayed. I watched one of them fall down and hit his head and his back. So don't be telling me it wasn't violent.”

“The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth.”

The WHITE HOUSE President Trump took decisive action to pardon January 6 defendants who were unfairly targeted, over-charged, and used as political examples. They were not protected by the leaders who failed them. They were punished to cover incompetence. On his first day back in office, January 20, 2025, President Trump issued sweeping blanket pardons and commutations for nearly 1,600 patriotic Americans prosecuted for their presence at the Capitol-many mere trespassers or peaceful protesters treated as in-surrectionists by a weaponized Biden DOJ. He fully pardoned most, commuted sentences, and ordered immediate release of those still imprisoned, ending years of harsh solitary confinement, denied due process, and family separation for exercising their First Amendment rights. THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS PAID THE PRICE FOR POLITICAL FAILURES THEY DID NOT CREATE. Since January 6, 2021, Nancy Pelosi spent over 3 years and nearly $20 million in taxpayer funds on her partisan Select Committee, producing a scripted TV spectacle to fabricate an "insurrection" narrative and pin all blame on President Trump. Video and audio recordings, including unaired HBO footage from her own daughter, show Nancy Pelosi repeatedly acknowledging responsibility for the cat-

Sickening — the White House has put up a site about 1/6 painting himself as a hero and Pelosi, The Capitol Police, and Mike Pence as the villains.

Joint statement by France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, United Kingdom, and the Kingdom of Denmark on Greenland:

"Greenland belongs to its people. It is for Denmark and Greenland, and them only, to decide on matters concerning Denmark and Greenland."
Joint Statement on Greenland Statement by President Macron of France, Chancellor Merz of Germany, Prime Minister Meloni of Italy, Prime Minister Tusk of Poland, Prime Minister Sánchez of Spain, Prime Minister Starmer of the United Kingdom and Prime Minister Frederiksen of Denmark on Greenland. Arctic security remains a key priority for Europe and it is critical for international and transatlantic security. NATO has made clear that the Arctic region is a priority and European Allies are stepping up. We and many other Allies have increased our presence, activities and investments, to keep the Arctic safe and to deter adversaries. The Kingdom of Denmark including Greenland is part of NATO. Security in the Arctic must therefore be achieved collectively, in conjunction with NATO allies including the United States, by upholding the principles of the UN Charter, including sovereignty, territorial integrity and the inviolability of borders. These are universal principles, and we will not stop defending them. The United States is an essential partner in this endeavour, as a NATO ally and through the defence agreement between the Kingdom of Denmark and the United States of 1951. Greenland belongs to its people. It is for Denmark and Greenland, and them only, to decide on matters concerning Denmark and Greenland.

Joint statement from Spain, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Uruguay rejecting the illegal US aggression in Venezuela and warn against the theft of natural resources by the US.
PRESS RELEASE Joint Statement of Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Uruguay and Spain on the Events in Venezuela 4 January 2026 The Governments of Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Uruguay and Spain, faced with the gravity of the events in Venezuela and reaffirming their adherence to the principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, jointly express the following positions: 1. We express our profound concern and firmly reject the military actions undertaken unilaterally in Venezuelan territory. These actions contravene fundamental principles of international law, particularly the prohibition on the use or threat of force, and respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of States, as enshrined in the UN Charter. They constitute an extremely dangerous precedent for peace and regional security and endanger the civilian population. 2. We reiterate that the situation in Venezuela must be resolved exclusively by peaceful means, through dialogue, negotiation, and respect for the will of the Venezuelan people in all its expressions, without external interference and in accordance with international law. We reaffirm that only an inclusive political process, led by Venezuelans, can lead to a democratic, sustainable solution that respects human dignity. 3. We reaffirm the status of Latin America and the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace, built on mutual respect, the peaceful settlement of disputes, and non-intervention. We call for regional unity, beyond political differences, in the face of any action that jeopardizes regional stability. We also urge the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the Member States of relevant multilateral mechanisms to use their good offices to contribute to de-escalating tensions and preserving regional peace. 4. We express our concern regarding any attempt at governmental control, administration, or external appropriation of natural or strategic resources, which would be incompatible with international law and would threaten the political, economic, and social stability of the region. The signatory countries: Brazil Chile Colombia Spain Mexico Uruguay

Given that Trump's critics call it a kidnapping, and Trump says it's an apt term, I see no reason for the media not to use it. Literally both sides agree it's the proper description of what happened.

Reminder for everyone operating at situationally-diminished capacity.
Screencap of post from tumblr user nitewrighter Me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now? The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances. Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW. Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.
