NYT has no coverage of the protests against Trump. Pathetic, submissive paper.

AOC please save us!

Good news, and implicit counter and jab to Fascist Trump. I'd add that this'd be a great opportunity for Japan to apologise for its warcrimes, which'd obviously go a long way with China and Korea. www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/03...

Welp, there goes the US defense industry.

People have been leaving flowers at the site where streamer Mogami Ai (Sato Airi) was murdered by a man to whom she owed money. Others have disrespected or trashed the site, showing some men will go to great lengths to hate women - even after they're dead. buff.ly/6zuZzWr #Japan

chuck schumer resign in disgrace bitch i want you walking around nyc looking like lithgow in the third act of conclave while new yorkers pelt you with trash

What “Nazi controversy”? Of course he’s a fucking Nazi. Even pretending to be one to dismantle the gvt and install a fascist dictatorship in the US is still pretty damn bad. Banana, Nazi Republik. www.forbes.com/sites/antoni...

NEW: The leaders of every major political party in Greenland have united in a joint statement against Trump. "We cannot accept the repeated statements about annexation & control of Greenland. We find this behavior unacceptable. “Greenland is one country that everyone wants to stand behind." 🇬🇱🇩🇰

Schumer is a spineless, pathetic senator.

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

Chuck Schumer is completely spineless. Pathetic, and the type of candidate that causes Democrats to lose. Just retire.

It is no coincidence that so much of the US is poor, and the rich have gotten so rich. Stop looking down to find someone to blame. Stop looking at your neighbors to find someone to blame. LOOK UP. Inequality is destroying us.

How can you have the most expensive team in the NBA and have its worst defense? Suns leads disappear in an instant because they can't stop anyone

Kelly: When I was flying in combat over Iraq during the first Gulf War, I didn’t expect that there was a 10-year-old kid sitting in South Africa who would one day become the richest guy in the world and call me a traitor for doing my job. Now, he kind of acts like a 12-year-old kid

Hey remember when this happened, Dems?

Good.

This is the room he'll be speaking in, where people plan to stand and politely clap and then blather about "respecting the office."

In less than 30 minutes, the Dow has already dropped over 600 points. That’s the real State of the Union.

A quick update on the US’s global standing, via tomorrow’s UK front pages:

Hey Dems started great, but how about keeping the pressure? Or are black people going to do everything? C'mon, throw a shoe or something.

This is all you'll be missing when you boycott the SOTU.

Whine Kampf. #StateOfTheUnion

31% of Americans approve of Trump's handling of the cost of living. 36% approve of international trade. 39% approve of his foreign policy. ~ Reuters/Ipsos poll. He’s losing! Keep up the good fight! ✊🏼 #SOTU

And here’s why you don’t go. He’s just sitting there lecturing the democrats, hectoring them, and after Al Green go ejected, the rest if them sitting there like punks taking it. With placards.

Bravo to Al Green but it would be nice if y'all would stop sitting there and waiting for Black people to do the work.

Rep. Al Green is a goddamn hero.

Being able to drop a quarterly US GDP prediction by 5.1% from +2.3% to -2.8% in a single week is one of the most impressive economic developments in the history of the world.

This is the way.

MEUSER: You've got Trudeau saying how the president is making a dumb move. That's bad diplomacy. SANCHEZ: I'm not sure how it's good diplomacy to say that a neighboring country should be the 51st state and that you're gonna impose economic hardship to achieve that goal.

it's working, keep going

Hey looks Dems actually doing something and yelling, protesting and leaving the chamber during the State of the Union. Good. Keep it up.

Great start to the speech. A woman has a sign saying "this is not normal". Asshole guy goes and aggressively grabs it. #ThisIsNotNormal #FascistTrump #Traitor

Nice to see someone call Trumpo "stupid" on live TV. #CanadaStrong

#ImpeachTrump

I’d rather have root canal than watch his state of the union.

Ontario, if you're listening, you might want to cut off electricity to the US tonight at 9 PM.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

BREAKING: Ontario’s terminating its $100-million deal with Starlink, and US companies will be barred from future contracts. They warned NY, Michigan, and Minnesota if the tariffs persist, Ontario will impose a 25% surcharge on electricity and may cut off the supply entirely.

NEW: Keir Starmer tells House of Commons that “Britain will lead from the front” on Ukraine. “Russia is a menace in our waters and skies…In this House, we stand by Ukraine because it is the right thing to do.” Unlike Trump, Starmer is showing how to support the right side in this war.

A visual guide to spring flowers in East Asia. Clockwise from top right, in Japanese. I added English + Korean and Chinese Mandarin readings below 梅 plum (ume/maehwa/mei) 杏 apricot (anzu/salgu/xing) 李 plum (sumomo/jadu/li) 桃 peach (momo/boksung-a/tao) 櫻 cherry (sakura/beotkkeot/ying) 🎨 mojacookie

I think Russian intelligence services cannot believe their good fortune at everything that is happening right now. This is a bonanza across the board. The vicious attack on Ukraine, nutters at the FBI, Gabbard at DNI, shredding of CI capabilities. A monumental tragedy for the West.

The European front pages today (Monday). US isolation laid bare. De Volkskrant, Holland: “A turning point in history” Die Tageszeitung, Germany: “United States Without America”. Trump’s US is now uninvited, unreliable & untrusted.

OTD in 2022 we bombed the Babi Yar holocaust memorial. We are denazifying Ukraine by bombing holocaust memorials and killing holocaust survivors. Ukraine ofc deserves this for provoking us by putting their border near our army.
