Yesterday Mark Carney was told, ā€œMr Carney, thereā€™s a genocide in Palestineā€. ā€œIā€™m aware,ā€ Carney told the protester, ā€œThatā€™s why we have an arms embargo.ā€ This has really, really upset Benjamin Netanyahu, so don't RT unless you hate him.

Weā€™ve had enough of the Brexit failure, we really donā€™t trust Trumpā€™s America and we want a better, more prosperous relationship with our European neighboursā€¦ ā€œWill of the peopleā€ got us into this Brexit mess, why shouldnā€™t it get us out of it too? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Tim Appleā€™s $1 million donation to Trump seems to have paid off.

A massive crowd at Coachella erupted in boos when Senator Bernie Sanders mentioned Donald Trump during a surprise appearance tonight

Brexit was greatest act of economic self-harm as U.K. sanctioned itself. But our idiocy got Trumped with šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø tariff rollercoaster. Nationalist fantasies end in economic pain. Time to choose: stability/security with Europe or race to bottom on Tump rollercoaster ride? www.nytimes.com/2025/04/13/w...

This dumbass canā€™t even handle an umbrella properly, but people think he can somehow win a self-made trade war. I truly hate him.

It's striking how much Trumpists hate what's made the United States great: immigration, trade, medical and scientific research, the rule of law, an enlightened patriotism, a willingness and ability to correct past injustices. At the end of the day, Trumpism is Third Worldism.

Do not obey

Trump has always considered Biden the worst and insults him, but the truth is that Bidenā€™s leadership & his economic team enabled Trumpā€™s administration to have the upper hand in the economy and a very different situation from eight years ago.Biden left the best economy for the next administration!

More fossil fuels = more climate change. It's that simple. We have to get out of the fossil fuel doom loop. Please tell the government not to approve any new oil and gas in the north sea šŸ‘‡ act.globaljustice.org.uk/node/4262?ut...

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

Nailed it šŸ‘Œ

My 10 year old sister and I got Social Security payments after my father died from exposure to Agent Orange. It helped my widowed mom when the family lost his income. He paid into it his whole life. They even took it from his check while he was serving in Vietnam. Jeanine can go fuck herself.

The European Union and China are now starting negotiations to abolish EU tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles. This is a major strategic failure for the United States.

Israel has murdered 232 journalists and media workers since October 7, 2023.

Stock Manipulation

šŸšØEvery word of this from AOC. "If people are pissed about insider trading here at the House, look at what's happening at the White House.ā€ (šŸŽ„ NY1)

A strong trade union movement improves the standard of living for all people. There is a reason why we are the only major country not to guarantee health care for all or have paid family and medical leave. We must grow the trade union movement in the United States.

Who is really in charge?

All this "fraud" and yet still not a single fraud charge filed.

Word of the Day is ā€˜ingordigiousnessā€™ (18th century): extreme greed at the expense of principles.

Prediction: Today (4/9/25) registered the greatest ill gotten gains from insider trading in history.

I'm calling for an investigation into whether President Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donorsā€”all while working people and small businesses paid the price. Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? It sure looks like corruption.

Elon Musk says organized labor creates a system of "lords and peasants." Thatā€™s BS. I'm always going to stand with our workers ā€“ and against union busters like him.

The Chinese must be bricking it knowing they're up against a man who paid $420,000 to Michael Cohen to pay Stormy Daniels $130,000 so that no one ever found out he had sex with Stormy Daniels, sex described in detail both in her autobiography and a hush money court case where he was found guilty.

Keith Self quoted Goebbels in 2010 too. Thereā€™s obv been a Nazi element in the GOP for a while. Trump is the insufferable tip of a putrid iceberg #feloninchief #nazi

What kills me is I know a bunch of very rich very stupid people who voted for him because they said heā€™d be good for the economy. Anyone alive during 2016 to 2020 wouldā€™ve been able to tell you that Trump is completely nonsensical and moronic. we are the United States of amnesia.

Peter Navarro is a moron. Even if it's Musk, I do so enjoy watching someone telling the world what an asshat this "brilliant" economist truly is. I like where it looks like this whole thing is headed.
