Wałęsa condemns Trump treatment of Zelensky, likening it to communist interrogation

Polish Nobel Peace Prize winner Lech Wałęsa and 38 other former political prisoners of Poland's communist regime have condemned Donald Trump's treatment of Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday, which they said reminded them of communist interrogation techniques

On this shameful day in American history, I’m glad I got out to join a couple hundred protestors to demand change outside the Tesla headquarters.

Can someone recommend a small business that I could buy an American flag and revel alliance flag from?

Trump has already spent $10.7 million of taxpayer money on golf trips: report Since being sworn in for the second time on January 20, the president has reportedly spent all four weekends on the green, and played golf at his own properties on nine of his first 30 days in office

We can help shift the tide! Wisconsin must have fair electoral maps going forward.

Answer Musk’s money with a blizzard of small donations. Give Musk the finger and support Judge Susan Crawford for the open WI Supreme Court seat. Our democracy depends on it.

Scum!

U.S. Claims Immigrants Held at Guantanamo Are “Worst of the Worst.” Their Families Say They’re Being Unfairly Targeted. ProPublica and The Texas Tribune have identified nearly a dozen immigrants who have been flown to Guantanamo Bay. Government officials have refused to release the names of detainees or provide details...

"Yesika Palma sobbed as she spoke about her brother Jose Daniel Simancas, a 30-year-old construction worker, and how it felt to think of him being treated like a terrorist when all he’d done was attempt to come to the United States in pursuit of a decent job." www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Elon Musk’s staffers have taken an additional $7.4 million this week in expenses, bringing the total to $14.4 million.

Conflict of interest, perhaps? From @nytimes.com

Opinion | Trump’s Gaza Plan: Illegal, Bizarre, Impractical, Distracting Partly because this massive displacement won’t happen, it’s a distraction from the need to implement the cease-fire in Gaza and continue the release of both Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners.

My take on Trump's call for ethnic cleansing of Gaza: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/05/o...

Opinion | The World’s Richest Men Take On the World’s Poorest Children (Gift Article) I’ve seen U.S.A.I.D. operate around the world, and it’s not woke — it’s lifesaving.

Yes, USAID could use reform, but this is demolition. Trump braids together cruelty, ignorance and shortsightedness, and calls it policy, as the world's richest men go after the worlds poorest children. My column: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/05/o...

What the actual fuck?

There are so many awful operators doing awful things at the moment that could be called out, but I think the juxtaposition of these headlines sums up the idiocy and self-aggrandizing destructive nonsense of this administration.

How can this possibly be legal?? Outrageous!

Agreed!!

How is this legal? Are they even federal employees? Craziness!!!

Gorgeous!

Opinion | Kamala Harris is showing us how we should handle her loss We’re going to need joy, rest and other softer survival skills to help fortify ourselves against the oppressive headwinds.

In my latest column for MSNBC, I wrote about how we can personally handle the defeat of Kamala Harris and the rising threat of authoritarianism. Joy and pleasure are central to our ability to survive — and not antithetical to our progress. We are going to need our joy.

Just getting started here. Thought I’d kick things off with a pic of my dog’s adorable snoot.
