By the way, the US striking Iran’s nuclear facilities and infrastructure gives Russia the green light to strike Ukraine’s nuclear facilities & infrastructure. This is another reason it’s forbidden under international law. Trump is escalating danger everywhere.

“A U.S. citizen!” And now he’s missing. Adrian Martinez tried to defend a man ICE was harassing. Video shows six agents swarming him. He struggles but doesn’t lay hands on them. They take him to the ground & shove him into a CBP vehicle. Abuse of power. Keep recording. Don’t stop. (1 of 2)

Trump is alone, humiliated, surrounded by loser supporters, and extremely angry. This is when he'll be at his most dangerous and will do as much as possible to hurt America and the world.

We won’t amplify it, but the president posting that Dems are “sick of mind” and “hate our country” immediately after 2 Dem lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes is the opposite of leadership. Gas on the fire.

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop! Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

This is serious, rigorous analysis and it should change the way the media has been covering these protests. These were, in the aggregate, massive.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

I just read “Strongmen” by @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social Everything that this administration has done so far or wants to do has been done by numerous authoritarians over and over. The current WH occupant seems to be following portions of the playbooks of Mussolini and Burlesconi (Italy).

Trump as malignant narcissist will try to silence and destroy any person or entity who criticizes him, exposes him or holds him to account because they narcissistically injure his idealized self (a fabrication to hide his conscienceless defectiveness and compromised humanity).

Just a legal historian here reminding everyone that “high crimes and misdemeanors” do not need to be felonies. They can include political abuses and stupidity, like, hypothetically, destroying the economy and wiping out people’s savings in 3 days.

He DOES have enormous power. He DOES have immunity. He IS an injured narcissist AND a sociopath. As long as those who gave him enormous power remain fine with it, and those who gave him immunity remain fine with it, and as long as he is normalized and his disorders ignored, we will have ... THIS.

The tariff stuff is a global poop and scoop scam, but instead of false information lowering stock prices, Trump is just destroying the economy with stupid tariffs to make everything easy for the oligarchs to buy www.investopedia.com/terms/p/poop...

Don’t flatter yourself sunshine, your destruction is a means and a bonus, not a goal. The goal of the US left, as I understand it, is to introduce universal health care, labor, housing, minority and environmental protection, manage immigration humanely and make billionaires pay fair taxes.
