@ryder_ripps Congrats.

A few weeks ago I had a conversation with an American who genuinely believed Europe and Canada would help the United States in its war with Iran. I asked him why he thought that, given that Trump had spent months threatening to annex Canada and seize Greenland. He went quiet. Then he said he had never heard of any of that.

Not that he disagreed. Not that he thought it was exaggerated. He had simply never encountered the information. It had never arrived.

This is worth pausing on. Because in every other functioning democracy on earth, that information would have been impossible to avoid. Not because Europeans are smarter or more curious. But because of how news works outside the United States. The BBC and The Daily Telegraph hate each other. Le Monde and Le Figaro disagree on everything. Aftenposten and Dagbladet have been arguing since before most of their readers were born. But they all cover the same events. A threat to annex Canada is not a left-wing story or a right-wing story. It is a story. It runs everywhere. You hear it on the radio driving to work. You see it on the newsstand. Your colleague mentions it at lunch. Facts are not a channel you choose. They are the weather. You step outside and they hit you.

The only media ecosystems on earth that work differently are not political opposites of each other. They are North Korea and Russia. Not because the content resembles MAGA content. But because the architecture is the same. In all three cases, outside information does not get filtered or reinterpreted. It gets blocked at the door. A completely parallel reality is built inside, maintained by repetition, and sealed from correction.

This is why the rest of the world does not just disagree with MAGA voters on foreign policy. It finds them genuinely disorienting to talk to. Not offensive. Disorienting. Like speaking to someone who is absolutely certain the building has two floors when you are standing on the third.

Which brings us to today’s masterclass. And this screenshot says everything.

A Trump supporter posted: “Absolute masterclass by Trump. He got the Strait open without any help from Europe and without any boots on the ground.”

That post was written on the same day a refinery on Lavan Island burned for hours after the ceasefire was announced. On the same day Iran’s own official statement read “this does not signify the termination of the war.” On the same day Iran kept its toll system, its uranium program, its protocol over the strait, and walked away with sanctions relief and reconstruction aid.

The post is not stupid. It is not written by a bad person. It is written by someone who received a completely different set of facts than the rest of the world did. And from inside that information environment, with only that data, the conclusion is perfectly logical.

That is what makes it so unsettling. It is not ignorance. It is a sealed universe, doing exactly what sealed universes do.

If there is precisely one thing you watch today, make it this. French Senator Claude Malhuret. A microphone. And the most magnificently savage dismantling of the Trump administration ever delivered in a language they almost certainly don’t speak.

He covers Iran. He covers corruption. He covers the kind of staggering, industrial-scale incompetence that would get you fired from managing a car park. And he does it with the calm, unhurried certainty of a man who has read every page of the indictment and found it, if anything, worse than expected.

France has never pretended to like these people. But this is contempt elevated to an art form. The kind of refined, aristocratic disdain that takes centuries of civilization to produce and approximately ninety seconds to deploy.

Malhuret sounds like he is four seconds from the button. Not out of panic. Out of sheer, exhausted disgust.
Honestly? Understandable.
Watch it. Share it. The adults are speaking.

From @springsteen :

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Stay free, Bruce Springsteen

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

BREAKING: Music legend Bruce Springsteen just released this incredible song that will be sure to piss Trump off beyond belief.

“Streets of Minneapolis”.

He wrote this song about Alex Pretti and Renée Good Saturday and recorded it yesterday.

Share it far and wide and play it as loud as you can

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

WOW! What a remarkable tribute to the victims of Trump’s ICE.

Renée Good and Alex Pretti.

[DulceBiatch @BiatchDulce]

THE WOMAN ALEX PRETTI TRIED TO SAVE FINALLY BREAKS HER SILENCE AND WHAT SHE REVEALED COULD CHANGE EVERYTHING:
In the chaotic seconds before Alex Pretti was fatally shot by federal agents in Minneapolis, another American was right there, the woman he was trying to help when everything spiraled out of control.
According to sworn statements now filed in court, she says she had just been shoved to the ground by immigration officers when Pretti moved toward her, not in anger, not with a weapon, but to help her up and shield her as the situation exploded around them.
What makes her account so explosive is one detail she says she has carried in silence until now: she recalls locking eyes with Pretti just moments before the gunfire, realizing too late that his focus was on her safety, not the agents closing in.
That single moment she described in her affidavit and backed by other witness testimony directly contradicts the official narrative that portrayed him as a threat, and it has now become a central piece of legal filings demanding an independent investigation.

Let’s get justice for Alex and the many others killed by ICE.

@devsdontmiss @ryder_ripps Not better, more like 'signed by the artist' ones.

Seeing them recognized as art again gives them back the significance they deserved from the beginning.

Thanks @ryder_ripps
