The Mercator map makes Greenland appear much larger than it is
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.

We need to stop using the Mercator projection.

I believe Denmark
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-…

Over the weekend, the White House and the Department of Homeland Security shared posts with a song, "We'll Have Our Home Again." I dug into the group that performed and popularized it. Its cofounder said his goal was to create "the seed of an eventual government." http://www.splcenter.org/resources/ha…

DHS and ICE are posting stylized arrest videos and recruitment ads that invoke white nationalist themes. We sent FOIA requests for social media strategy documents that could show the agenciesβ target audiences are and why they are using this imagery. http://www.documentcloud.org/documents/26…

If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation… the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.

Trump cult supports his bad ideas on military action
Per a new NPR/PBS/Marist poll, a majority of Republicans support "military action" in:
— Aaron Blake (@AaronBlake) January 16, 2026
-Venezuela (83%)
-Iran (75%)
-Mexico (74%)
-Cuba (71%)
-Greenland (57%)
Also noting the Greenland finding is quite different than other polls. (See below from @Reuters–@Ipsos.) It showed just 8% of Rs want to take Greenland by force.

Could be because the Marist question is not expressly about taking it over.. pic.twitter.com/cBQk1KPjuz
New York Times article on things named after Trump
Narcissist!
I don’t think Trump will let Democrats win the House in 2026
He is rightly worried that they would have non-stop hearings on his illegal and corrupt actions.
Trump wonβt let the Democrats win the House in November. Options:could he use martial law to prevent elections – emergency? If elections are held, he could challenge results of enough Democratic wins to prevent them from taking over the House on time.To him the end justifies any means.

Negative double digits across the board.Add in Epstein Files, and he's -30 on that.Trump is weak, MAGA's policies are unpopular, and he has NEVER HAD SUPPORT OF 50% of the country.This should shame every institution that has bent the knee and continues the bend the knee to this fascist regime.

With CBS/YouGov approval coming in unchanged 41/59 looking more and more like there's either no rally effect or at best a very small one. It's worth making noise over this because there's a ton of "wag the dog" nonsense out there assuming that military action makes presidents popular.

This dip comes as concerns over the economy, health care, foreign policy and the Epstein Files have increased dissatisfaction.

Trump said on "Truth Social" the other day that his "real" approval rating is 64%. He is a liar. It is 40% (56% disapprove).It is important to call out authoritarians when they try to manufacture consent for their unpopular agendas. Remind people how unpopular he is.substack.com/@gelliottmor…

Polls show people don’t like what ICE is doing
This shift in public opinion comes amid heightened scrutiny of ICE after the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good.
— Newsweek (@newsweek.com) 2026-01-18T19:02:26.715Z
New CNN polling: Most Americans see an immigration officerβs fatal shooting of Renee Good as an inappropriate use of force. Roughly half view it as a sign of broader issues with the way ICE is operating, w/under 1/3 saying that ICE operations have made cities safer. http://www.cnn.com/2026/01/14/p…
— Ariel Edwards-Levy (@aedwardslevy.bsky.social) 2026-01-14T17:05:58.100Z
Enten: "Americans at this point do not like ICE. And that's very different from what we saw during Trump's first term. We're talking about -17 approval rating. That's a 17 point drop from where we were during Trump's first term. Among independents, the number is even lower."
— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-01-15T02:47:08.680Z
Change is coming whether party moderates want it or not."Among the 18-to-34 set, 70 percent disapprove of ICE enforcement, 65 percent say the shooting was unjustified, and 83 percent have seen video of the killing."

New YouGov poll finds a majority of Americans believe ICE agent Jonathan Ross should be charged for killing Renee Good. Despite repeated lies from the Trump administration, Americans watched the videos and are demanding accountability.

"After an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis one week ago, reactions on social media and among politicians and political influencers rapidly polarized," writes Aaron Blake. "But how do the rest of Americans β i.e. those who didnβt so quickly weigh in β feel?" | Analysis
