Donald #Trump is obsessed with the #RoyalFamily and all the pomp and circumstance that comes with them. So we know he’ll be desperate for King Charles & Prince William to visit the #US for the 250th anniversary of American independence. 38d.gs/kc_sv_df

Something that's just totally wild to me is how on-point the metaphors of Hydra from Marvel Comics and the MCU are.

Like...

1. It's been around forever, and keeps coming back: Revolution, Civil War, Nazis, and now...
2. Hydra infiltrates critical institutions: SHIELD, ICE, FBI, government, corporations
3. It presents freedom as chaos and itself as stability and management.
4. It operates in decentralized cells with a shared worldview: Proudboys, Republican Party, KKK
5. It uses plausible deniability to make its enemies look like villains
6. Run by elites, but enabled by apathy and fear
7. Hydra is redundant, compartmentalized, and regenerates.
8. Hydra targets terrorists, then criminals, then illegals, then extremists, then subversives, then undesirables.

The comics were literally basically like, "The Nazi's are made of the same (types of) people as before, and the same people will come back, and here's what to look for."

Zelenskiy said the US will provide Ukraine with PAC-3 missiles for Patriot systems after his meeting with Trump. He declined to specify the number but said the deal will strengthen Ukraine’s air defense against Russian attacks. #Ukraine

It occurred to me this morning that when #ICE and the #quislings giving them their marching orders are finally held accountable,

we won’t be having #Nuremberg trials …

we’ll be having #Minneapolis trials. #Minnesota trials.

The people of Minneapolis and other cities are standing up to #fascism, and in doing so, are defending the rights of people all over the USA.

Those #trials can’t come soon enough.

It would be useful for reporters writing about Trump's preposterous "Board of Peace" to mention one country that is definitely not a member: the United States.

Trump doesn't have the power to join it. Any international treaty requires the vote of two-thirds of the Senate.

Hey y’all, you remember about a year back when I said #DOGE was doing some sketchy shit at the #SSA, and that records were being manipulated, and that there was some weird network traffic suggesting that the newly installed #starlink was sending data where it shouldn’t?

Yeah.

We still don’t know who the 1000 people directly targeted were, but as my cleanly wiped SSA record can show, there has been collateral damage, as I’m nowhere near important. But I’ve been working since 1980, and my earning record is blank.

Terabytes of data was exfiltrated, we don’t know to whom, we don’t know how much the DOGE operatives were paid, we don’t know who now has the data, but the #DOJ response is that these guys might have their hand slapped, but probably not even that.

The #US has finalized its withdrawal from the #WorldHealthOrganization, one year after #Trump announced the US was ending its 78-yr-old commitment….

But it’s hardly a clean break.

The US owes >$130 million to the global #health agency, according to #WHO. And Trump admin officials acknowledge that they haven’t finished working out some issues, such as lost access to data from other countries that could give America an early warning of a new #pandemic.

Dear European leaders at Davos,

If you want this asshole to shut up, stand up and walk out

If they don’t invoke the 25 amendment after this speech in Davos, the GOP is complicit in allowing a hopelessly demented idiot to destroy that last vestiges of respect the world would have for the US. He’s ranting, babbling lies and nonsense. He doesn’t know the difference between Iceland and Greenland. Someone needs to grab him by the elbow and usher him off stage. It’s humiliating.

(AP) At least four times in his remarks at Davos so far, Trump has referred to Greenland as “Iceland.”

“They’re not there for us on Iceland that I can tell you,” Trump said of NATO partners. “I mean, our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland, so Iceland’s already cost us a lot of money.”

He also did that a day earlier during a marathon news conference at the White House.

(Politico) Well, it happened. A great role model for all those oppressed by Trump. He has publicly backed down at DAVOS from using force to seize Greenland. The EU, Canada, and others MADE THIS HAPPEN. NOW, GOP, CAN YOU LEARN SOMETHING FROM THIS? www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

Trump rules out using force to...

When Trump dies we get Vance. Thiel’s pet. They'll blame a lot of stuff on Trump AND try to fast-track an even uglier white supremacist techno-Christofascism. We must prept for this now & organize accordingly. Grassroots activism, coalitions. Dissent. Sand in gears. Strikes. Every angle.
