Trump told the military to use American cities as "training grounds". He told soldiers not to help their black or transgender minority colleagues. He told them to forget the NATO military alliance and pitched the option of attacking an allied country. He demeaned their international comrades from Afghanistan. And he ridiculed the fallen. I predict, when the revolution comes, and revolutionaries close in on The White House, Trump will call the military, only to realize they have already arrived.
Republicans are panicking. Senator Ted Cruise tells donors he had the following dialog with Trump because the economy is failing: Ted Cruise: “Mr President, […] we’re going to go into election day, face a bloodbath. You’re going to lose the House, you’re going to lose the Senate, you’re going to spend the next two years being impeached every single week.” Donald Trump: “Fuck you, Ted.”

US senator warned that Republicans would lose elections if prices continue to rise, prompting president to respond ‘fuck you, Ted’
 Thank you to @npub1at5f...xfht for this find.
While Trump travels the world calling wind turbines a “con job”, Germany and Denmark agrees on a massive wind park near the island of Bornholm. The park will produce the power for 3 million households across both countries — the equivalent of delivering clean energy to all of Rome. The US may control the operating systems in our phones, but it looks like Europe will control the future of green energy. Source (in Danish):

If you are trying something new, and everyone around you tells you it will never work, and some even try to prevent you from pursuing your dream, watch this video from 1985. At the time, winter sports was all about skiing, but a few people were switching to something new called “snowboarding”, and the skiers were in uproar, with some ski areas even banning the snowboards. Today, around 35 percent of snowriders are snowboarders, and snowboards are allowed everywhere.
A BBC fact check shows, ICE agents fired 10 shots into the back of nurse Alex Pretti while he was disarmed, face down, and pepper sprayed in the eyes. The naive will now try to convince the Trump regime that surely, this cannot be the new normal. The realists will figure out how to respond, because this IS the new normal. There are 281 days to the midterms. Trump knows he will lose, unless he finds a way to suppress the will of the people. For that, he needs his paramilitary force. image
The Trump administration right now: 🤡 Alex Pretti was a domestic terrorist! 🤨 No, he was a nurse. 🤡 Well… but he brandished a weapon! 🤨 No, he never drew the gun he carried. 🤡 Well… but he was armed. 🤨 No, ICE removed his weapon, before they shot him. 🤡 Well… But he was impeding ICE! 🤨 No, not a single video show him doing that. 🤡 You do not know any of this, because there has not been an independent investigation. 🤨 Will there be an independent investigation? 🤡 No!
CNN asks Commander Bovino why he initially claimed that Alex Pretti — an ICU Nurse — was there to “massacre” ICE agents. Bovine doubles down and says the killing of Alex happened because of “fantastic training” of his ICE officers which prevented the “massacre” of ICE. Let me reiterate: A nurse who was filmed trying to shield a woman from an ICE attack, is somehow a federal officer serial killer in disguise. Good luck explaining that in court.
This is where international security is now: Chairman of the Danish Defence Committee explains Denmark's very real considerations about moving away from American weapons as well as replacing American IT systems in general, to prevent the Trump regime from abusing our dependency on these products to damage The Kingdom of Denmark.
December 31: ICE agent kills 43-year-old Keith Porter, father of two, in Los Angeles. ICE agent not charged. January 7: ICE agent kills 37-year-old Renee Good, mother of three, writer and poet, in Minneapolis. ICE agent not charged. January 24: ICE agent kills 37-year-old Alex Pretti, an ICU Nurse, in Minneapolis. ICE agent not charged. For a “law and order” party, the Republicans sure accept a lot of unlawful killings.
I have gone viral. For the first time in my life as a YouTuber, I published a video four weeks ago, and it just keeps going — now approaching half a million views. I am so eternally grateful, because I hope this will open new doors for me in 2026, including — I hope — being able to make a living through my work. I remember feeling humbled as 300 people listened to my presentation in Vienna in 2024. But realizing that an entire city of 486,370 people have watched this video feels surreal. 1/3 image
