Donald Trump is reposting crazy conspiracies about foreign interference with the 2020 election. Tulsi Gabbard's presence at the site of the Fulton County raid should worry all of us who care about free and fair elections.

If you're wondering what sort of mischief Fox News was up to, wonder no longer. They were preemptively trying to de-fang this coming story: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/c...

Huh. This entire administration is an Epstein Island afterparty.

🔥 @donlemonofficial.bsky.social : “I’ve spent my entire career covering the news — I will not stop now. There is no more independent time than right now for a free, independent media.”

Amen. 🙏🏽

My first remarks since being arrested last night.

“It is a visceral moment where audiences, around the world, will begin to taste the boot that the American establishment so blithely licks.”

“The “film” is part propaganda, sure, and part sop to Big Tech companies who require constant regulatory approval for financial manoeuvrings. Even then, it is bad. It will exist as a striking artefact – like The Birth of a Nation or Triumph of the Will ….”

Melania Trump is a scowling void of pure nothingness in her ghastly film – review Hitting cinemas as the streets of America remain filled with the angry and grieving, the vulgar, gilded lifestyle of the Trumps makes them look like Marie Antoinette skulking in her cake-filled chatea...

“…as the streets of America remain filled with the angry and grieving—with the country on the verge of an irreparable schism—the vulgar, gilded lifestyle of the Trumps makes them look like Marie Antoinette skulking in her cake-filled chateau, or Hermann Göring’s staring up at his looted Monet.”

Can confirm, Google Books has been completely nerfed.

Basic search terms that used to return many dozens of relevant hits now return 10 or fewer.

@johnmu.com Hello John, I’d like to report a serious regression in the quality of results on Google Books that seems to be related to a recent algorithm update. See the attached screenshot, the first one is from Jan 20, the next one from Jan 23. The quality degradation makes Google Books unusable.

Tulsi Gabbard stuns lawmakers with her appearance at a FBI raid seeking ballots from the 2020 election, since the Director of National Intelligence has no jurisdiction over domestic law enforcement.

In past elections, the Russians manipulated voters from a distance, over the internet. But now we have Tulsi Gabbard, a known Russian asset, confiscating ballots herself and taking them to an unknown location for unknown purposes.

The call is coming from inside the house.

This is an exciting finding, and it shows how willing “real” people are to embrace positive social and ecological change when we meet them outside their filter and outrage bubbles.

Very useful! This list introduces some of the main debates about public space, from park politics to political protest, public expressions of sexuality to safety and security.

Unsettling …

Thanks for reposting this yesterday!!
Let me share this once again! #historysky #earlymodern

The pains of #overtourism are felt in more and more places in Japan, especially in tourism hotspots like Kyoto.

The Yomiuri has a bar chart showing the trend since 2016. In that year, the total was just over 1 million. The COVID years were a plateau around 1.5 million, and the total has been on a steeper rising trend since 2023.

As Japan’s demographic shift accelerates, its reliance on foreign labour is increasing rapidly. In the absence of robust integration policies, right-wing politicians have sought to capitalise on public anxiety—amplified by overtourism—by engaging in fear-mongering rhetoric.

A Texas man detained by ICE was his disabled son’s sole caregiver. His son will be laid to rest without him | CNN Wael Tarabishi’s family had hoped his father and primary caretaker could be present as they say their final goodbyes to the 30-year-old at his funeral on Thursday.

Absolutely heartbreaking. The inhumanity is just too much to bear.

Getting the impression that ICE is gearing up for a pogrom in Springfield, Ohio, which was ground zero of Vance’s lies about Haitians during the campaign. Haitians lose temporary protected status on February 3rd. Reporters, lawyers, neighbors — please get ready.

Highly important and timely talk on working migrants in ageing and depopulating Japan!

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

It’s really unconscionable to go and see world cup games at this point.

This is the face of Trump's America with which the world is now absorbed.

This is an awesome opportunity! I did a two-year postdoc at Tokyo University as well, and it was the most formative time in my life.

Philly DA joins nationwide coalition to prosecute ICE agents who break laws Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner has joined a nationwide coalition of prosecutors to hold ICE agents accountable for breaking state laws.

States are coming together to bring state charges against ICE agents. It's about freaking time!
