Darwin Day continues. This great Nova documentary on evolution vs. "intelligent design" is now posted on YouTube. PBS used to have it on their website but not anymore. You'd think they'd bring it back to honor the centennial of the Scopes Monkey Trial.

Trump orders deportation of gay men to Iran so they can be executed by the ayatollahs because, hey, he's okay with that. I'm still puzzled over why the Iranian Supreme Leader hasn't been invited to the Board of Peace yet, he'd fit in so well with all the other thugs and murderers.
Trump administration plans to deport 40 Iranians days after mass killings in Iran
Two of the deportees are gay and terrified of returning to a country where homosexuality is punishable by death, their lawyer says.

Colbert on Trump's Gaza Board of Peace: "Paying a billion dollars to obey Trump seems a little steep. After all, CBS got to do it for just $16 million."

The minute we let Nixon fly away on Marine One with no accountablilty, was the moment we let an entire party with their billionare freak show friends, destroy the framework of this country. I'm spitting fire today over that.

These ICE-holes are fucking animals. Here’s one running a child down like an animal and standing over his capture.
That’s someone’s child, scared and shaking in the snow, and our money is paying for this.

Trump's first year back: The consent of the governed has been withdrawn

The consent of the governed has been withdrawn
One year into his second term, Trump has suffered the largest approval collapse of any modern president (except the one who resigned in disgrace). He is underwater on every major policy area.

Greenlanders are clear: they don't understand how Americans can put up with Trump. Hansen, a traditional Inuit carver, stares blankly at a chunk of narwhal tusk, a collection of uncut rubies and other rare Greenlandic minerals, unable to focus on transforming

"Trump has been taking on ... behaviors that define a fascist. He has seized authorities from Congress, ordered prosecutions of his critics, led a violent coup ... and built a paramilitary force that kills civilians with 'absolute immunity.'"

And now, in echoes of 1938, he's threatening Europe.
Trump Sounds a Lot Like You-Know-Who
He’s no Hitler. But his speech in Davos about Greenland eerily echoes 1938.

Trump’s Mad King rantings about Greenland have accelerated into something far more stunning and alarming: A superpower is choosing to self-immolate and torch its remaining global trust and friendships, including and especially NATO, the most potent geopolitical alliance in world history.
We Are Witnessing the Self-Immolation of a Superpower
With Donald Trump’s actions in Greenland, Minneapolis, and Venezuela, a foreign enemy could not invent a better chain of events to wreck the standing of the United States.

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin.

This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

He goes on to describe one of his officers being stopped when she was off-duty solely because she's non-white, harassed by ICE goons who slapped her phone out of her hand as she tried to record, only to be let go when she finally revealed she was a cop.
Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

The 15 richest people in America saw their collective wealth jump nearly $1 trillion during Trump's year back in office.

Many of them were standing alongside Trump at his inauguration one year ago today.

Jones: All you do is keep people fearful because you get paid 45 million a year to keep people fearful so they don’t pay attention to the CEOS taking their healthcare. You don’t care about the American people. You want them to be afraid of immigrants because all you have is fear.

A brilliant speech by Canada's Mark Carney in Davos: "The old order is not coming back. We should not mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy...The powerful have their power. But we have something too — the capacity to stop pretending, to name reality, to build our strength at home & to act together."

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."
