Trump’s hand was forced when Nethanyahu bombed Doha. This resulted in the Arab nations reconsidering their position vis-a-vis 🇺🇸. Not to mention Trump has plenty of business deals with the Arab states and a lot of money to be made. Then there was the very public apology that Bibi had to make to Qatar

Trump just announced a U.S. strike that killed six people on a boat “allegedly” carrying drugs near Venezuela. Another day, another flex of power with zero proof. How many more “drug boats” before this turns into a foreign policy disaster?

A man so petty and small he can’t see the damage he’s doing to the country. Also someone should remind him he’s the president of the UNITED states of America !

Anti-Mamdani super PACs have joined forces to try to stop Zohran from becoming the next Mayor of NYC.

Oil industry heir and director of Chevron John Hess has donated $1 million alone. But all their money means nothing when the people are united.

Keep up the momentum for Mamdani 💪🏾

Trump: "You wouldn't have a world domination by the dollar if I didn't win this election."

Since Trump returned to office, the share of global foreign exchange reserves held in US dollars has fallen, largely as a result of the dollar's fall in value due to Trump's economic chaos.

Democracy dies in darkness is not just a pithy phrase - as freedoms and rights are eroded, the pillars of institutions corrupted such that they collapse and the dark days of fascism take hold - democracy indeed dies.

"We always think about America’s postwar role in Europe as an act of great generosity, the defense of allies from Soviet aggression. But by putting democracy at the center of our international identity, we also helped strengthen our own political system"

The Beacon of Democracy Goes Dark
For nearly 250 years, America promoted freedom and equality abroad, even when it failed to live up to those ideals itself. Not anymore.

Last Sunday, @demiforillinois.bsky.social, @raygunsite.com and I hosted a No Kings protest sign-making party with the best problem:

So many people showed up, we ran out of table space.

This is what community care looks like.

And yet when the climate crisis is evident and urgent, the doubling down on climate change denial is growing exponentially, aided and abetted by malign actors using social media to spread misinformation and worse conspiracy theories. Regardless - a reckoning is coming and we are ill prepared.

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia.

Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.
