To be clear, and it’s worth repeating, Trump continues to be a stupid 🤡. Russia was suspended from the previous G8 in Mar. 2014, following their annexation of Crimea. Stephen Harper, a conservative, was then PM of Canada. Trudeau became PM in 2015.

REMINDER: Netanyahu convinced Trump in 2018 to withdraw US from Iran nuclear deal that Obama and allies had negotiated. That Deal would've prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. The death and destruction we're seeing now is 100% bc of Trump & Netanyahu www.timesofisrael.com/in-recording...

Fun fact: in the 1960s, Civil Rights protestors were given literal classes on nonviolent protest; they didn't all just spontaneously know what to do. So, if you're planning on showing up, this weekend: read this comic. And if you're staying home, signal-boost it/link it around.

The entirety of the Senate (and Congress) should be outraged at the treatment of a sitting U.S. Senator. It’s also time for Murkowski to align her words with action — at the very least, repudiate her affiliation w/ the GOP and stop supporting this fascist regime. www.huffpost.com/entry/alex-p...

RFK Jr’s ACIP pick, Martin Kulldorff, said one of the most disturbing images from the pandemic was a toddler crying about having to wear a mask. I see toddlers cry about everything all the time, and I found it far more disturbing to see refrigerator trucks full of body bags outside of the hospitals…
