New US security strategy aligns with Russia's vision, Moscow says The Kremlin welcomes the starkly worded document, which does not cast Russia as a threat to the US.

This could’ve been written at the Charlottesville 2017 rally. Embracing Russia, abandoning our allies, fleeing international law and institutions, “might makes right,” RACIST TO ITS CORE. The latest hate from the Trump gang bbc.com/news/article...

They represent themselves as Christians. So how’s that work?

Got behind a guy, flashers on, driving in the middle of the road, 5 mph. Obviously first time ever driving in a significant snow.

Snow Day! City schools and most others closed.

Pretty but sloppy. About 4-5” and still coming down. Wet and heavy. Roads are a mess and—given the winters we’ve been having—this is the first rodeo for a lot of drivers. Good day to work from home if you have the option.

She turned in a Bible sermon instead of an essay and failed. Now conservatives say she’s the victim. Samantha Fulnecky’s Bible-filled essay earned her a failing grade. After whining to Republican leaders, the University of Oklahoma is caving to her demands.

So much of this going on. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/she-turned...

Kristi Noem refuses to directly answer a question about what Trump means by "remigration" -- a word that, as Kristen Welker notes, is often invoked by white nationalists in Europe

An official government account using the word “remigration” is not normal. It’s an imported term from European far-right movements that refers to mass expulsion. Democracies do not use population-purification language. #holdfast #SteadyState

Holy fuck.
