On 9/12/01, New Yorkers were already demonstrating in Union Square under the slogan, “Our grief is not a cry for war!” Was infinitely proud of my adopted city at that time, & am similarly proud today that New Yorkers turned out en masse to demonstrate against this idiotic and immoral war of choice.

In a functional, just and sane system that respected the rule of law, Drumpf would already have long since been in prison for his many felonies. The same can be said of Netanyahu for his corruption. We are here because powerful men were (and are) not held accountable for their actions. 1/2

If the term "Dunning-Kruger Effect" isn't as well-known to the general public as "schizophrenia" or "psychopathy," it certainly should be well before 2028.

I have to ask myself multiple times/day: "Useful idiot" or foreign agent? As much as the Krasnov thing sounds like fiction, one wonders what he'd be doing differently if he were indeed a foreign agent, hellbent on tearing down in a matter of weeks what has taken decades to build. #Krasnov

Once again, for those in the back: The tariffs are nothing more than an open invitation to bribery or quid pro quo, as seen with his offer to drop tariffs on Vietnam in exchange for a branded resort/golf course there. The market manipulation, while real, is merely a secondary grift. #grift #tariff

Today's Bible verse sans context: "You don't realize that it is better for one man to die for the people than for the whole nation to be destroyed." - John 11:50 p.s. Don't "@" me--I know the context, and am deliberately ignoring it, just as many others who quote Bible verses out of context do.

The tariffs are not an economic tool, but a political one. They're meant to elicit bribes from every company asking for exceptional relief from them. That's how it works. Secondary "benefit": market manipulation. They sell high, announce tariffs, buy low when market responds. #grifters

Poor Pete Hegseth. Must be awful being a wealthy, powerful white guy, claiming to be victimized by a rogue reporter, and having no one believe you.🥲 #newphonehouthis

The amazing twist here is that 21st century fascism is using concerns about anti-semitism as its excuse to shut down protest, freedom of speech, freedom of conscience and academic freedom. Trump is himself an antisemite, as repeated statements have shown. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202....
