"Smith said one reason he felt confident in the strength of the case that prosecutors had prepared to take to trial was the extent to which it relied on Republican supporters of Trump."

"Under questioning, Smith described what he said was a wide-ranging conspiracy to overturn the results of the election that Trump lost to Democrat Joe Biden and alleged how the Republican refused to listen to advisers who told him that the contest had in fact not been stolen. After he was charged, Smith said, Trump tried to silence and intimidate witnesses."

Seven House Democrats broke ranks to continue funding ICE:

"House Democratic leadership didn’t whip on this issue. Meaning, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) explicitly told the tiny band of seven ICE-holes that they would face no penalty for 14-handedly thwarting the will of the party and its voters."

In other words, they sent 7 sacrifices so the could keep their hands clean. https://thefuckingnews.substack.com/p/no-justice-just-ice

There are supposed to be buttons below saying "continue with Password", but they didn't render in my Firefox. They rendered in Zen, which is also Firefox.

I kept seeing UK media pretend that the Nordic deployment to Greenland was to shore up defences against Russia and China.

Meanwhile the Danish soldiers were given live ammunition and told to expect that the US would try to take Greenland by force

a lot of fedi platforms are designed to be alternatives to existing mainstream platforms, which is fine. but what I wanna see is more experimental fedi platforms!! I wanna see ones that play with all sorts of new ideas about how we can socialize online!

there's so much possibility once you start thinking beyond the basic text/image/video post feed format. we could come up with some seriously funky stuff, & it would be FUN
