Chicago Mayor Issues Defiant Call For A General Strike

It was an audacious proposal, given that the U.S. has never held a true, nationwide general strike.

This is quite a hed/subhed.
1) Start with Vance. Use strong action verb. Accept the autocratic premise that the “Marines’ Might” are Vance’s to flex.
2) Mention the protest second and absurdly describe them as in the thousands
3) Treat Trump’s strong man use of the military as a partisan scuffle.

Vance Flexes the Marines’ Might as Thousand Protest Trump’s Agenda
VP JD Vance’s trips o a military base in California illustrated rising tensions between the federal government and Democratic leaders

I’m a proud Canadian—and Albertan—frustrated by the rise in Alberta separation talk and the silence from too many elected officials.

So I built two tools to help citizens push back.

Expose Politicians Who Enable Alberta Separatism

A loud minority is pushing Alberta separation - and too many of our elected politicians stay silent. Their refusal to speak up threatens our jobs, security, and way of life. We’re ending that silence....

Yeah, no NYT, this ain't it.

NYT: Mr. Trump's political team trolled protesters on social media with AI-generated images of the president wearing a crown. When asked if the president had a comment on the demonstrations, Abigail Jackson, a White House spokeswoman, gave a brief response in an email.

This is literally all any reporter needs to see to understand why people are out in the street in the millions. And the 25th Amendment is right there for any elected leader to use.

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.

Screenshot of a post on X from Colombian President Gustavo Petro’s verified account. The post reads: “US government officials have committed a murder and violated our sovereignty in territorial waters. Fisherman Alejandro Carranza had no ties to the drug trade and his daily activity was fishing. The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure. We await explanations from the US government.”

Feeling tired and uplifted after participating in #NoKings protest today in New Orleans after attending a baby rave earlier in the afternoon. Grandma-hood is good 🥰
