His truck passed by me and next thing I knew someone had grabbed his huge TRUMP 2025 flag and flung it down into the street and was stamping on it, grinding it to the ground with cheers all around. I guess he and his truck drove into the distance. That’s resistance in Maine.

He’s such a fucking idiot
Trump: Why isn't Harvard saying that almost 31% of their students are from FOREIGN LANDS, and yet those countries, some not at all friendly to the United States, pay NOTHING toward their student's education, nor do they ever intend to.

We want those names and countries. Harvard has $52,000,000, use it, and stop asking for the Federal Government to continue GRANTING money to you! 1 ReTruth 3 Likes 5/24/25, 9:51 PM

Judge Dugan’s heroic act of civil disobedience is in perfect keeping with John Lewis’s vision and conviction that these are the tactics that work best and need to continue in order to effect real systemic change. Her actions are the very epitome of “getting in good trouble”—!

Trump is clearly angered by reports on the Ukraine war and the president's desire to take control of Greenland.
President Trump says CBS and ‘60 Minutes’ should ‘pay a big price’ for going after him
President Donald Trump has attacked CBS News and “60 Minutes." He is clearly angered by reports that the longtime newsmagazine did on the Ukraine war and the president's desire to take control of Greenland.

Trump is a raving lunatic! SO EMBARRASSING that a President can be such a fool! He can’t complete a thought. He has a glitch about tariffs and keeps getting stuck on them. Now attacking democrats. His mind is gone!

@ryan-holiday.bsky.social Some trouble in your life? As Epictetus would say (and his master Rufus) just think of it as an Olympic wrestler Zeus has sent you to train with and buld up your skill!

Important part of SCOTUS opinion rejects Trump DOJ position:

"AEA detainees must receive notice after the date of this order that they are subject to removal under the Act...within a reasonable time and in such a manner as will allow them to actually seek habeas relief...before such removal occurs"
