https://www.youtube.com/watch/HGDnRo4caIs ICE in Minneapolis | Ian Bremmer’s Quick Take
In this Quick Take, Ian Bremmer addresses the killing of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, calling it “a tipping point” in America’s increasingly volatile politics.
He pushes back on claims from Trump administration officials that Pretti was a “domestic terrorist,” noting that video evidence shows he was disarmed before being shot. “There’s no question that that is beyond unacceptable,” Ian says, warning that official disinformation is “what’s so dangerous.”
While the Trump administration has often refused to back down, Ian argues this case is different. The president is now signaling restraint, and “he’s not escalating today because it’s extremely unpopular,” even among Republicans.
Ian concludes that while these actions pose a threat to the rule of law, they’ve also triggered institutional and political pushback. “Attempting a political revolution is not the same as succeeding at one,” he says, pointing to signs of resilience in the US political system.

Can you see nebulas in other galaxies? Yes, some nebulas shine brightly enough — if you know how to look. Clouds of hydrogen and oxygen emit light at very specific colors, and by isolating them, astronomers and astrophotographers can reveal structures that would otherwise be too faint to notice. This deep, 50-hour exposure highlights glowing hydrogen (red) and oxygen (blue) across galaxy NGC 55, viewed nearly edge-on. Also known as the String of Pearls Galaxy, NGC 55 is often compared to our Milky Way’s satellite galaxy the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), although NGC 55 lies much farther away at about 6.5 million light-years. The resulting image uncovers a sprinkling of emission nebulas within and sometimes above the galaxy’s dusty disk, offering a detailed look at distant star-forming regions. via NASA https://ift.tt/2etB4Cn
This moon is doomed. Mars, the red planet named for the Roman god of war, has two tiny moons, Phobos and Deimos, whose names are derived from the Greek for Fear and Panic. These Martian moons may well be captured asteroids originating in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter or perhaps from even more distant reaches of our Solar System. The larger moon, Phobos, is indeed seen to be a cratered, asteroid-like object in this stunning color image from the robotic Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, which can image objects as small as 10 meters. But Phobos orbits so close to Mars – about 5,800 kilometers above the surface compared to 400,000 kilometers for our Moon – that gravitational tidal forces are dragging it down. In perhaps 50 million years, Phobos is expected to disintegrate into a ring of debris. via NASA https://ift.tt/gh2QI1T
https://www.youtube.com/watch/w9oLPw7-gb4 Can Europe stay united? | GZERO World with Ian Bremmer
On GZERO World, Ian Bremmer looks at how President Trump’s second term is rattling Europe, reshaping both transatlantic relations and the global economy, with Finland’s President Alexander Stubb and the IMF’s Kristalina Georgieva.
Tensions were high at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland this week as President Trump showed little sign of backing away from his intent to rewrite the global order. He threatened European nations and reiterated his desire for US control of Greenland—only to announce a framework deal with NATO over the Danish territory’s future hours later. Amid so much uncertainty, is Europe at risk of breaking from its once-closest ally? Ian Bremmer sits down with Finland’s president Alexander Stubb on GZERO World to talk about Trump’s Greenland threats, Arctic security, the war in Ukraine, and the future of the transatlantic relationship.
Then, Bremmer talks with Kristalina Georgieva, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, about why the world economy has been more resilient than many feared, despite trade tensions and geopolitical shocks. From the surprisingly limited impact of tariffs to productivity gains driven by AI, Georgieva breaks down what’s keeping growth afloat, and what could still derail it. Both Stubb and Georgieva agree: one positive outcome of so many geopolitical shocks in the last year is that Europe has been forced to come together and act on urgent economic and security issues.

Eight billion people are about to disappear in this snapshot from space taken on 2022 November 21. On the sixth day of the Artemis I mission, their home world is setting behind the Moon’s bright edge as viewed by an external camera on the outbound Orion spacecraft. Orion was headed for a powered flyby that took it to within 130 kilometers of the lunar surface. Velocity gained in the flyby maneuver was used to reach a distant retrograde orbit around the Moon. That orbit is considered distant because it’s another 92,000 kilometers beyond the Moon, and retrograde because the spacecraft orbited in the opposite direction of the Moon’s orbit around planet Earth. Swinging around the Moon, Orion reached a maximum distance (just over 400,000 kilometers) from Earth on 2022 November 28, exceeding a record set by Apollo 13 for most distant spacecraft designed for human space exploration. The Artemis II mission, carrying 4 astronauts around the moon and back again, is due to launch as early as February 6. via NASA https://ift.tt/GUL27X0
