The U.S. is supposed to host World Cup soccer next year along with Canada and Mexico. But with the Trump regime harassing visitors and making our streets unsafe, World Cup officials should think twice. No World Cup here until the fascists stop fashing.

NBC Interview with Gavin Newsom. He lays it on the line and slams Trump on everything from the illegal take over of the national guard to tariffs and is not holding back. This is how Dems need to handle Trump.

It's long been clear that Trump "would find a way to deploy military force against American citizens. He has had an unslakable thirst for this idea for at least a decade—and if we're being honest, he’s probably fantasized about it since he was in his twenties." www.thebulwark.com/p/the-most-d...

I had the privilege of screening this 75 minute documentary last night. It felt like I was sitting in a quiet room with @georgemonbiot.bsky.social for a master class in neoliberalism. Having read 'The Invisible Doctrine', this film reinforces how we can imagine a different story for ourselves.

🚨 The LA protests escalated fast. DHS called in the National Guard, and reports say Marines may be deploying next. The city is still on edge. 📢 If you’re out there, protect yourself and your crew. 📲 Save this. Share it. Stay safe out there.

Bernie Sanders: "We have a president who is moving this country rapidly toward authoritarianism...to a large degree the future of this country rests with a small number of Republicans in the House & Senate who know better, who do know what the Constitution is about, and it's high time they stood up"

I have spent plenty of time in Canada and in every hour there, I enjoyed welcoming public kindness, safety and freedom. Of course, they tax the rich in Canada, so all of society has the security of universal health care, including mental health care. And multiculturalism is celebrated and embraced.
