The UN: Our emblem will show all countries of the world. To be as fair as possible we will use a projection that makes areas further from the center be shown larger instead. The Board of Peace: Our mandate is to create peace in Gaza, so our symbol is gonna be a globe view centered on New Orleans.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

I’ve been reading Trump’s "Board of Peace Charter," and despite the name, this isn’t a multilateral institution, it’s a centralised structure built entirely around the authority of one person (Trump). www.timesofisrael.com/full-text-ch...

Just hours after Renee Good was shot, one member of Customs and Border Patrol’s elite tactical team on an adjacent street fired a less-lethal weapon five times in less than five minutes, with four shots aimed at the faces of protestors. www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/01...

The most benign interpretation of what he says is that they are willing to let people get away with crimes if they will just do the regime's bidding. But the most plausible interpretation is that they are using the legal system for coercion through false accusations.
Sen. Kevin Cramer: "Maybe the point should be if you're the attorney for Jay Powell and you want to avoid an indictment, how about you go to Jeanine Pirro and say, 'I'll make a deal. I'll step down today if you drop the investigation today.' To me, that would be a win win for everybody."

Most technical bugs in the early phases of technology don't result in the industrial scale generation of nonconsensual and child pornography, if they did you wouldn't usually expect it to take two weeks to address, and if it did you wouldn't expect them to address it by monetizing it.

ICE is arguing in court that US CITIZENS can be detained, handcuffed, and biometrically screened unless they can prove citizenship on the spot. And that a REAL ID isn't enough. This isn't border security. It's a "papers-please" America where freedom is conditional and innocence comes last.
I'm still not sure if trump actually thinks he can get a Nobel Peace Prize, or if this is just another smokescreen for all his rape and pillaging, both literal and figurative.
President Donald Trump’s name has been installed on the building and signage around the US Institute of Peace – an independent agency that the administration gutted earlier this year.

I'd rather not have you ask the question. But I'm proud to answer the question. Or at least I'm proud that I allowed you to ask the question. And I'm proud that my family is making a lot of money from my decisions as president.
