    Trump’s Climate War Breaks the Law - UNFCCC - the treaty that underpins global climate cooperation.

    Donald Trump has escalated his war on climate policy to a new and legally dangerous level. His administration has announced plans to withdraw the United States from the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) — the treaty that underpins global climate cooperation. This isn’t just a diplomatic stunt. Legal scholars warn that abandoning the UNFCCC may exceed presidential authority, raising serious constitutional questions about whether a president can unilaterally exit a foundational international treaty without Congress. At the same time, the administration is dismantling domestic environmental protections that experts say are critical for public safety in an era of accelerating climate disasters.

    ICE Shifts to Federal Occupation as Minnesota Goes Under Siege, Hunting Migrants and Citizens Alike.

    What’s happening in Minnesota isn’t just an immigration crackdown — it’s a warning. Under the Trump regime, immigration enforcement has shifted from border control to full-scale internal policing. ICE now operates deep inside U.S. cities, armed, masked, and largely unaccountable, targeting not just undocumented immigrants but entire communities. In Minnesota, thousands of federal agents have flooded the state following the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE officer, triggering protests, school walkouts, business closures, and lawsuits accusing the federal government of an unconstitutional invasion.

    Why Are Police Killings Normal in the U.S. Yet Rare in Europe & UK? Did Renee Good have to die?

    Every year, police in the United States kill over a thousand people. In the United Kingdom and much of Europe, the number is often in the single digits — sometimes zero. Drawing on recent data, legal standards, and the killing of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis, this essay examines how American policing has come to normalize lethal force, how guns and unregulated training shape officer behavior, and why accountability for police violence is almost nonexistent. It also confronts the racial reality of policing in the U.S., where Black Americans are killed at far higher rates, often following racial profiling and routine traffic stops. This is not about “a few bad apples.” It’s about policy choices: armed patrols, permissive use-of-force standards, political immunity, and a culture that prioritizes state power over human life. Other democracies have shown that policing without routine killing is possible. The United States has chosen a different path. Independent media has never been more important.

    A Presidency Defined by Distraction — and Those Who Exploit It

    Donald Trump’s greatest danger has never been his intelligence or strategy — it’s his emptiness. Easily distracted, endlessly flattered, and driven by grievance rather than principle, Trump has become the ideal vehicle for forces far more disciplined and extreme than he is. This video breaks down how Trump’s chaos creates an opening for figures like Stephen Miller, the architect of the administration’s ethnonationalist agenda, and Elon Musk, whose oligarchic power and reactionary politics increasingly shape public life. Together, ideology and concentrated wealth exploit a hollow presidency to dismantle democratic norms, international law, and the postwar world order. Independent media has never been more important.

    Are Democrats Complicit in Trump’s Authoritarianism and Normalizing the Collapse of Democracy?

    Donald Trump is openly warning Republicans that losing the midterms could lead to his impeachment — and Democrats are proving him right by refusing to act. This video breaks down how Democratic leadership’s obsession with “electability” and swing-district politics has turned impeachment from a constitutional duty into a taboo topic. When a president threatens elections, intimidates opponents, and dismisses public opinion, accountability isn’t optional — it’s the foundation of democracy. By avoiding impeachment of Trump and his enablers, Democrats aren’t protecting the system. They’re normalizing its collapse. Independent media has never been more important.

    How Power Covered Up a Killing in Minneapolis. The Murder of Renee Nicole Macklin Good by ICE.

    The killing of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Macklin Good in Minneapolis was captured on video—and yet, within hours, the Trump administration declared the case closed. But the video tells a very different story. It shows Macklin Good reversing her car, allowing an ICE vehicle to pass. It shows an officer ordering her to exit. It shows her attempting to leave at low speed—and an ICE agent firing multiple shots. The officer is never struck. He remains standing. She is shot in the face and dies at the scene. **Contains eyewitness video taken by bystander Caitlin Callenson in Minneapolis on Jan. 7, 2026 and included distressing scenes and strong language. Viewer discretion advised. Independent media has never been more important.

    Trump’s Greenland Comments Spark NATO Alarm: Denmark Warns of a Global Security Crisis.

    Donald Trump’s refusal to walk back his regime-change rhetoric on Venezuela has now reignited international concern—this time over Greenland. Declaring that the United States needs Greenland “very badly,” Trump’s remarks have intensified fears of a potential American move against the Arctic territory. Greenland is largely self-governing but remains part of the Danish kingdom, with Copenhagen responsible for defence and foreign policy. Denmark’s prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, responded with an unusually blunt warning, stating that any US military action against Greenland would amount to an attack on a NATO ally—and could shatter the post-World War II global security order, which Stephen Miller seeks to disrupt at every juncture.

    Did Trump's Nobel Grudge Shape His Venezuela Policy to Invade and Abduct Maduro?

    Did Donald Trump’s anger over being denied the Nobel Peace Prize influence his decision to take action against Nicolás Maduro? White House insiders reveal how María Corina Machado’s decision to accept the Nobel Peace Prize for herself instead of insisting it be awarded to Trump might have led to a shift in US foreign policy. Despite Machado later dedicating the prize to Trump, it wasn’t enough to smooth things over. We dive into how this personal grievance may have shaped his harsh stance on Venezuela and its opposition. Was Trump's decision about more than just diplomacy? Watch now to uncover the behind-the-scenes drama that shaped US-Venezuela relations under Trump! Independent media has never been more important.
