Breaking News, World News and Video from Al Jazeera News, analysis from the Middle East & worldwide, multimedia & interactives, opinions, documentaries, podcasts, long reads and broadcast schedule.

It’s been difficult to get #news that isn’t nauseatingly deferential to the Trump regime. But #Aljazeera does a very good job of reporting on their part of the world (and ours). It’s much more informative than the BS we get from some of our media.

I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.

This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.

Rubio Says Iran Strikes Were Actually β€˜Proactive,’ Muddying Message He claimed they were addressing an "imminent threat," while citing longer term goals as well.

So. Marco says there WAS an imminent threat. It was that Israel was about to attack Iran. So we had to attack Iran to prevent Iran attacking us.
Fβ€”kin kidding me?!

β€œObserving human behavior confirms that for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled power and the imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds and are bereft of human decency. And the rule of law be damned.” β€” Judge to the Trump thugs.

Scott’s Proposal to Ease Wetlands Protections Hits a Muddy Patch | Seven Days To spur housing development, the governor wants to relax wetlands regs. Environmentalists are saying it’s a bad idea.

Vermont Governor orders changes to state rules that would allow housing to built in wetlands. He is getting strong pushback from environmentalists (like myself), much of it based on the increase in flooding that could result.

Billie Eilish during her #GRAMMYs speech for Song of the Year:

β€œAs grateful as I feel, I don’t need to say anything except that, no one is illegal on stolen land. It’s really hard to know what to say and what to do right now, I feel hopeful in this room and we need to keep protesting… fuck ICE.”

Minneapolis police chief warns officers: Stop unlawful force by ICE or lose your job Chief Brian O’Hara says he’ll fire city police officers if they don’t intervene when immigration agents use unlawful force.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara told his officers that they have a duty to intervene if they see ICE committing crimes and will be fired if they don't. We need a lot more of this.

This photo was not taken in black and white. Very dark here up north when it snows and it’s January.
I’ve always thought these two trees seem to be reaching out to each other with those lower branches.
Doesn’t today suck?

Abolishing ICE isn’t enough – it’s time to center people’s humanity | Heba Gowayed and Victor Ray It’s far from radical to reject a system predicated on violence – despite what thinktanks might claim

β€œAbolish ICE” isn’t radical, it doesn’t go far enough.
