2600 places (600 more than last time) where people say no to king Donald the Undesired.
#NoKings would be a clear sign for the need for change for anyone by #Trump.
Trump dies not represent the majority of US citizens but acts like he owns them.

It is highly unusual for the US armed forces to use a public space (highway) as a training ground. It is also totally irresponsible and disruptive.
All just to please #Trump.

This is all they can do: no crimes in the #USA and no POW's.

The #Trump #Shutdown2025 is hurting more and more. #SNAP ( #foodstamps) that gives 42M (many #MAGA) needy people food aid will run out in November.

Prince Andrew finally was forced by the Royal family to step down over the #Epstein sexual abuse and the influence peddling.
#Trump should be forced to do the same for his "friendship" with Epstein and his monetization of the office of president of the #USA.

After all those scandals, why did Prince Andrew quit his titles now?
He has voluntarily given up the remaining vestiges of his royal life, but was clearly under pressure to jump before he was pushed.

#Putin is allowed to fly over or land in the #EU. #ViktorOrban can give a diplomatic derogation for #Hungary only so neighboring countries would have to accept that. Very unlikely.

These people never committed any crime on US soil so can't be prosecuted by civilians authorities.
They were captured after an illegal strike on a civilian vessel in international waters and are no POWs so the military has no jurisdiction

I think #Trump is the one that is truly guilty of willfully mishandling secret documents as the Mar-a-Lago search proved.

#Trump wants to project himself as a forceful leader but utterly fails at every attempt.
Everyone knows he is a coward that will only attack safe targets like unarmed boats and only as a propaganda stunt.
