Previously he was very concerned

Another impeachable offense. He has no cause, we have not been attacked, he has stated no reason & has not requested permission from Congress. WHO is going to stop this? Why is military obeying illegal orders every time we turn around? 😡

No new wars!

Not in Iran, not anywhere else.

The American people do not want this. But, you know what they do want? Healthcare, housing, good-paying jobs, and accountability. Bombing Iran is not that.

To deflect attention from Epstein files, in part, the u.s. has built up military forces in the Persian Gulf. All should be in place in next -8 days.

What is needed to keep focus on these allegations if armed conflict breaks out?

If anyone feels like speaking up, the best timing may be now

When I feel over my head in reality, I turn down the noise and read voices like The Steady State or Jack Hopkins. If I’m confused, or need a break they’re still there.
That’s what I want the Virtual Attic to be a calm place to learn, get context, and feel less alone.

The numbers speak for themselves

The Doomsday Clock 80-Year Low Albert Einstein, Robert Oppenheimer, and University of Chicago scientists founded the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists in 1945. The famous Doomsday Clock

It is what it is because we don't want to accept that it is.

"By setting the famous clock at 85 seconds to midnight, the Board recognizes the failure of leadership of the world as the principal reason for the lowest reading ever."

Moderna says FDA refuses its application for new mRNA flu vaccine The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is refusing to consider Moderna’s application for a new flu vaccine made with mRNA technology.

It is absolutely outrageous that Moderna’s flu vaccine was met with a “refusal-to-file” even after their approved their protocol with FDA and carried out the trial as agreed. This vaccine works better in older adults than the current flu vaccines.

Listen to this. Not a penny more for this. Abolish and prosecute anyone who had anything to do with it.

🚨 Pete Buttigieg nails it:

“In a country that amended the Constitution to ban beer… then fixed it when we realized it was dumb… surely we can amend it again to say corporations aren’t people and money isn’t speech.”

Translation:

We corrected Prohibition
We can correct Citizens United

This would be DHS's first major push into a red state. Ohio has a Republican governor and Springfield has a Republican mayor.

Doing this with the support of city and state officials (unlike in California, Illinois or Minnesota) could be brutal and horrific.

Nurses being pissed reminds me of this

I promise you won’t be able to stop smiling after watching this.

Sienna is a truly gorgeous soul ❤️

And then they came for the white guy with a legal permit to carry, exercising his 2nd Amendment rights, and you STILL didn’t think they’d come for you. #2A #ICE #alexpretti #secondamendment

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

Trump might actually release the Epstein files now to distract from what ICE and Border Patrol is doing.

Courage is rare. That's why it has value. It's also true that in instances of state oppression, usually only a tiny minority actively resists. Having said that, I never expected this level of absolute groveling by pundits, the press and political leaders in America.

I wish Democrats would start just speaking the truth:

“ICE is killing American citizens in public for exercising their freedom of speech because Donald Trump wants to be a king.

This isn’t about immigration—Trump wants to make it illegal to oppose him, and to stay in power until he dies.”

Pretti clearly did not brandish his gun. Which means the government is saying he was killed for legally exercising his right to carry.

It’s as clear-cut a violation of the Second Amendment as I can possibly imagine. And we’re about to see the bulk of the gun rights crowd defend his murder.

Walz: Minnesota's justice system will have the last word on this.

As I told the white house in no uncertain terms this morning, the federal government cannot be trusted to lead this investigation. The state will handle it. Period.

Stella Carlson said that before the shooting, the man was helping vehicle traffic get around the area where ICE agents and observers had started to gather. "The gentleman I was standing next to was focused on helping people who were coming into Nicollet Avenue understand that they needed to take it slow and helping them get through. The ICE agents approached us, told us to back up, back up. I'm not even sure why we were helping them, if anything. And I got on the snow bank, and next thing I knew, they shot him," Carlson said.

Federal courts in at least ten circuits affirm that recording police in public is a First Amendment right. Verbal criticism, including profanity, is protected under City of Houston v. Hill. Whistles, chanting, and singing are also protected, though noise limits may still apply. #ice #minneapolis

WHO removing Us Flag

I will just keep repeating. I have never never never seen anything like this. 30 years of reporting.

So, NATO/Greenland/Denmark faced down an adversary, and apparently today in Davos the adversary…blinked. It seems rather historic.

Amidst so much turmoil, a reason to take courage

Also, understand what worked and remember next time

Wow. #NoKings #Davos2026

Corporate executives who defraud nursing homes? Pardoned.Reality TV stars who evade millions in taxes? Pardoned.Thousand Trump’s Pay-to-Pardon Scheme

Trump claims he’s cracking down on fraud in Minnesota — while pardoning actual fraudsters.

Over half of his 88 individual pardons have been for white collar crimes, including money laundering, bank fraud, and wire fraud.

It’s all part of his pay-to-pardon scheme.

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.

How are you doing?

Screenshot of an X post from FactPost (@factpostnews) with the headline “US citizens detained by ICE speak out,” followed by a quoted account describing being dragged outside, put in a headlock, repeatedly saying “I’m a citizen. I have an ID,” and an agent responding “That don’t matter,” plus hearing wailing and crying from detainees and banter and laughter from federal agents. Below the text is a split-screen TV news image: on the left, a heavily armored officer in a helmet and gas mask with the caption “MINNEAPOLIS ON EDGE,” and on the right, a blonde female news anchor in a white blazer in a studio. A lower banner reads “CHRIS JANSING REPORTS,” with an MSNBC-style logo and a “LIVE” timestamp.

Americans are realizing that unfettered federal power to detain and arrest is a very dangerous thing. I learned that lesson as a child when they put us into internment camps just for looking like the enemy. Don’t go further down this road.
