New Scooplet from me: The State Department is poised to take over a building DOGE seized from the US Institute of Peace, former staffers claim—possibly for Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace.” @wired.com http://www.wired.com/story/trump-…

The Peace Building in DC has been renamed the “Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace”The institute created by Congress, signed into law by Reagan, and axed by Trump back in February. He literally had the president of the USIP hauled out by police and has now deemed himself the emperor of peace.

Another clip shared by DC Metropolitan Police in response to my FOIA lawsuit from the DOGE raid on USIP shows the same white shirt cop addressing three USIP staff members outside the building. He says "Obviously there's gonna be lawsuits on the back end of this, and civil stuff."

A former USIP official said of Trump: “It’s pretty ironic that he put his name on an institution he destroyed.”Taking over institutions and putting your name on it is another sign of authoritarianism.www.cnn.com/2025/12/03/p…

Today, we mourn the six million Jews and countless others murdered during the Holocaust.This International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we recommit ourselves to honoring their memories and standing up to antisemitism and bigotry in all its forms.

The widespread erasure of Jews from the Holocaust is an exploding trend. Stop playing into it. Once that succeeds, we are truly on a rapidly decaying downward spiral.

Legitimately a feat of carefully calculated writing to issue a Holocaust Remembrance Day statement of this length without mentioning either (1) the people who perpetrated the Holocaust or (2) the people against whom they perpetrated it

Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day. It's getting harder to remember as the number of living Holocaust survivors dwindles. Read this piece on the work of remembering: lnk.thebulwark.com/49ZzOP0

this story quotes:- A trump ambassador- A museum run by Trump appointees- Stop Antisemitism, an organization funded by right-wing donors… aaannnnddd that's it! Not a single scholar of the Holocaust. Not anyone unaffiliated with Walz' political opponents.

ANOTHER ANGLE: the original video was deleted but I screen capped it. Here it is.

years and years of avoiding plain language and the active voice do make the choice to use it more impactful, I suppose

ICE officers attempted to pass off the murder of a prisoner at their El Paso concentration camp as a suicide, but the country medical examiner was having none of it.

This is such a cool illustration of how the Mercator map distorts the size of Greenland, which looks as big as the whole continent of Africa on that map but is actually the size of Mexico.

— Helen Kennedy (@helenkennedy.bsky.social) 2026-01-18T19:43:41.100Z

We need to stop using the Mercator projection.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt says the Danes agreed to form a working group to discuss the surrender of Greenland to Trump. "No we didn't" says the Danish foreign minister, indeed "there will be no discussion of turnover." http://www.berlingske.dk/indland/det-…

I believe Denmark. Trump and his flunkies are liars.
