Wise words from WEB DuBois to gird us today: "It would be shame and cowardice to surrender this glorious land and its opportunities for civilization and humanity to the thugs and lynchers, the mobs and profiteers, the monopolists & gamblers who today choke its soul and steal its resources."

He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.
The NYT has a new video analysis of Renee Good's shooting which is careful, accurate, and clear - he walked across the path of a moving car, then leaned in and shot her with his feet well clear of the vehicle. 1/

Dropkick Murphys are releasing a new song called "Citizen I.C.E."
The lyrics go: "Too scared to join the military/ Too dumb to be a cop."

Breaking NYT:
The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.
The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.
That is a war crime called "perfidy."
Mississippiβs largest synagogue was set on fire before dawn Saturday. Fire department ruled it arson, and a suspect has been arrested.
It is the same synagogue that the Ku Klux Klan bombed in 1967 because the rabbi supported civil rights. mississippitoday.org/2026/01/10/f...
If there is a God, which I doubt, I am certain He does not trifle Himself by intervening in the outcomes of sporting events. But it is at least plausible that a Pope from Chicago got busy tugging at the hem of His garment and begging before the Bears began that second half.

If we had a normal President, he'd express human decency and offer condolences for the MURDERED U.S. citizen under his watch.
Instead, we get a paragraph of propaganda and excuses that put the blame on the victim βΒ a tactic Trump has used on women for decades.
Disgusting.

Columbian President Petro: βA clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy. To keep Epstein's list from coming out, they send warships to threaten our neighbor with invasion for their oil.β
Democrats: βIt is critical that the Trump administration provide an immediate Gang of Eight briefing.β
βOh but if Democrats did that Republicans would just vote it down, wouldnβt convict and would rally their base to defend Trumpβs crimes.β
Yeah, okay, make them do that then.

Paul Graham, Y Combinator co-founder, posts: The rational fear of those who dislike economic inequality is that the rich will convert their economic power into political power: that they'll tilt elections, or pay bribes for pardons, or buy up the news media to promote their views. I used to be able to claim that tech billionaires didn't actually do this β that they just wanted to refine their gadgets. But unfortunately in the current administration we've seen all three.
Corrupt tech billionaires are buying power to tilt the world in their favor.
Even the co-founder of Y Combinator is saying it. β¬οΈ

Watching the spiked 60 Minutes episode on YouTube, thanks to @phillewis.bsky.social. It's not like the Trump admin didn't have its say. At about 4:15 mark, there is footage of Trump saying CECOT was "great facilities, very strong facilities"

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.
