“The reason we are seeing more Arctic military activity is that countries are worried by the spectre of open water there." By 2035, the Arctic is forecast to be free of ice during summer, which will allow ships to sail across the North Pole. theguardian.com/world/2019/jan…
.@WhiteHouse has not updated its strategy to deal with the fast-changing region. “Under the #Trump administration, we are not assigning a significant priority to our role as an Arctic nation. There is a void.” ~ @lisamurkowski
REMINDER: @realDonaldTrump's near total focus on the USA-MEX border means comparatively little attention is being given to the security of our 88,633 mile-long shoreline / 12,383 mile-long general coastline (pick one): the mission of the currently unpaid @USCG. How dumb is that?

HAPPENING TONIGHT -- Per Florida Playbook's @MarcACaputo and Matt Dixon: "To celebrate Rick Scott officially becoming Florida's junior U.S. Senator, his New Republican PAC is throwing a 'black tie optional' Sunshine Ball in D.C. tonight... 1/
... at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium on Constitution Avenue. A few Scott critics (including a Republican) flagged the event to us as an example of the gov-turned-senator entering his new job on a tone-deaf note in the capital amid a federal government shutdown. 2/
"While many federal workers go without pay, special interests can pony up $100,000 for a 'Platinum' sponsorship (includes VIP reception, photo op, VIP ball section access, special recognition), etc." You can click on the invitation in the newsletter. 3/

Is this another video game scene?
But @realDonaldTrump loves Russia and Putin even when they claim they are dangerously harassing our #military #AirForce
Traitors @senatemajldr @LindseyGrahamSC @gop !! Standing with Putin against America and our military
The only reason I say video game scene is because Russia has a habit of using scenes from video games for propaganda

1/ Long Reads Sunday #22. Bitcoin under $4k. Ethereum hovering near double digits. The coldest Thanksgiving in more than a century seems, in retrospect, an inauspicious sign as we settle into what might be the first of many cold crypto winter long reads.
2/ Kicking off the new mood, @Melt_Dem wrote this tome about what she calls the crypto crisis. This is a detailed look that incorporates the macro perspective and is a must-read to understand the current investor mindset. medium.com/coinshares/the…
3/ Earlier in the week, @APompliano dug into yet another reason that crypto hedge funds were likely to capitulate the longer crypto winter goes: high water mark clauses that make it unlikely that most fund managers will receive performance fees. offthechain.substack.com/p/icos-and-cry…

Seeing much political interest in the US Midterm Elections on my TL even from people who won’t normally discuss politics and I’m both delighted but also disappointed for Nigeria.

Politics here is at a very kindergarten level - without even comparing it to countries like the US.
Being in politics mostly for the past decade and associating with politicians, I still get shocked at how unpolitical it all is and how even the best of the best politicians are extremely terrible and inept at playing the game they profess.

(I should explain that last word...)
To profess something is to say it repeatedly or to pledge allegiance to something - and it’s the root word of another word: professional.

The contradiction of the Nigerian Politician is such that they profess to be Politicians but in truth, many of them are total Amateurs.

1/ Nuiqsut is the only town in Alaska's prolific North Slope oil region, which is poised for another drilling boom.

The community has long been concerned about industry air pollution. There is reason to be anxious.

@shankman reports from the #Arctic: insideclimatenews.org/news/01082018/…
2/ "I was really stunned when I was up there in July [2017] to hear the fears that are so pervasive in the community that it even impacts the teenagers," said Barbara Trost of @alaskaDEC.
3/ More than three-quarters of Nuiqsut residents still live a traditional subsistence life, off the fish they catch, the whales they harvest and the caribou they hunt.

And they've found themselves on the frontlines of a modern crisis.

The ICE manual for undercover agents describes how agents & informants are allowed to break the law & can use "proceeds" from illegal businesses to fund their own operations in the field. Profits can also be paid to other agencies and foreign governments unicornriot.ninja/2018/icebreake…
ICE can also use profits from illegal business activity by undercover agents and/or informants to buy evidence, to pay themselves overtime, and pay for travel expenses unicornriot.ninja/2018/icebreake…
ICE provides cover to undercover agents and informants, as well as fake businesses for use during infiltration, using a variety of methods. One passage reveals how they are provided with fake social security numbers by the Social Security Administration unicornriot.ninja/2018/icebreake…
