"Why the US needs a new antiwar movement – and how it can win"
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/jan/18/new-antiwar-movement-iraq-war

This article glosses over the fact the war lasted 8 years and caused immeasurable harm to the American psyche. An antiwar protest movement is a relic of the past. Today, with a madman in control, the US needs an anti-dictator confrontation that forces Americans to choose what they want the future to look like.

"They've been here now for three decades, right? Only to find themselves on the other end of a gun at the sort of instigation of the very government that said you can come here and be safe. This is just heartbreaking to me when you think about that's the country we've turned into. The one that people were running from is now the country we are."

@hosford42 Holy shit. Try to work for one day where I have no access to media. Come home to literal brink-of-civil-war-news. Our country is one big reality TV show produced by sadists.

Minor tweaks to Blog Oklahoma and Blog Oklahoma Podcast websites today. I'm glad I have them moved. I still need to move some of the archives over to Program Witch Pages, but it can wait. Now, to start formatting Exploring Oklahoma History. I decided to use 11ty also. That will speed up the move. Moving it over to WordPress would be way too complicated and time-consuming.

Members of the U.S. Senate — including Republican lawmakers — are publicly promising to block any effort by President Donald Trump to seize control of Greenland by military force or circumvent NATO protocols.

Y’all — if Trump deploys the military in Minnesota, he’ll likely federalize the guard too. By the time courts take it up, it won’t matter.

What will matter is how many people PEACEFULLY protest. If the city shows up to say fuck off without a complete riot, Trump loses. Yeah, there will be the same shit we saw in LA, but as long as people aren’t going to crazy, the overall view the rest of America will see is troops beating the fuck out of grannies and teachers.

@davidtheeviloverlord @hosford42 The state's rights crowd turned into Federalists when the northern states wouldn't return their runaway property.

As Federalists, they passed the Runaway Slave Act because fuck state's rights.

Whereupon the northern states wouldn't enforce the Fugitive Slave Act, and those assholes seceded.

Those laws and rationalizations were all secondary, and existed solely to justify owning slaves for profit. 'Twas ever thus.

In other news, I'm guessing that there are some officers in Alaska going down their personnel rosters and quietly transferring anyone originally from Minnesota to a different unit.

I learned something interesting today: The Epstein files are not, in fact, located in Minneapolis, tucked away in a soccer mom's mini van.

Release the files, you fucking cowards. This isn't going away.

Report: New York art show: "Ms. Rachel's Colors That Survived"

Gaza's children share stories of survival through art.

"Art is the only thing that has stayed with me through everything — through losing my home, my safe space, and the life I once knew.... I keep drawing because it is the one place where I still feel alive."
