The best news of 2026 so far: George Conway enters the midterms race as a Democrat, and this is REALLY bad news for Trump. This is a former Republican with deep inside knowledge who is now on a mission to destroy Trump and reinstate democracy. He is a lawyer, and he has a proven track record of going after Trump on his own dime. Liked, respected, capable, and very, very dangerous for Trump.

Donald Trump is making plans for a military attack on NATO, which will trigger the worst security crisis in the western world since World War II, and Mark Rutte has no comment?

Amidst the horror of the killing of Renee Good, I take solace in seeing how technology has outperformed propaganda: I have seen more lies about the killing than I can count, but it is 2026, and I have also seen around 6 different video recordings of the incident from all possible angles WITH clear audio. Gone are the days, when propagandists could freely shape the narrative. JD Vance and Trump can still lie, but we can see the incident they are lying about, from 6 different angles WITH audio.

In the US, those who wanted to keep their guns, in case government turned into tyranny and started killing people, elected the tyrant themselves, and are now looking for excuses as to why government started killing people.

The officer who shot Renee Good, worked for ICE, so what does ICE’s own manual say about the use of deadly force? Section 16 on page 202-203 says: ––– 16. Deadly force may be used only when an officer has probable cause that the detainee poses an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to the officer or to another person. Deadly force may not be used solely to prevent the escape of a fleeing suspect. ––– That last sentence will be decisive in court. Source: 📄.pdf

Video from the ICE officer’s cell phone shows Renee Good’s last interaction with him. She smiles and says, “I am not mad at you”. Seconds later this same officer fires three bullets from his gun hitting Rene Good in the head at close range. Does this look like a [quote:] “radicalized domestic terrorist” trying to kill ICE agents to you? Good luck explaining that in court.

The right question is not, “Why is ICE attacking left leaning cities, killing people, and targeting minorities?” The right question is, “What happens after they are done with the minorities?”

Who would have thought that ICE would recruit the wrong, trigger happy people, who would eventually shoot and kill innocent civilians… by recruiting on the disinformation platform X using actual Halo video game graphics and the headline “Destroy the flood”? They were steering right for it.

This week I had to call my local municipality because there was an issue with the snow clearing service. For years, when I have called, I have always been greeted by a team of friendly, female receptionists who were impressively good at knowing exactly which one of their 11,000 employees you should talk to. To my dismay, I found out these women have now been replaced by an AI robot voice. I truly do not get how anyone would think that would be a better solution. I felt completely alienated.

Trump's "the people ICE kills are just left wing terrorists", is Putin's "the Ukrainians we kill are just nazis". It is a complete disregard for truth, for logic, and for the laws of the land. And that is the point — to establish a parallel reality in which no truth, no logic, and no laws create any friction while the dictator’s tanks plow on down the road to unfreedom. With all my heart I hope the American people save their democracy in November. 2026 is the last chance.
