The world is right to fear Russia. Russia only lives for war; their culture, national identity, and their economy rely upon imperialism! 😠

In opposition to this messaging, being a good person is hard, it takes work, it takes sacrifice, and when done correctly is without reward.

When times are hard it's just too much work.

MAGA/GOP messaging is takes advantage of the uncivilized being within each of us; i.e.: the devil sitting on our shoulder. The primal animal easily responds to fear, grievance, vengeance; it comes naturally.

Of all the things that didn't happen below, Eric Trump having four friends is the one that didn't happen the most.

Eric Trump: "Now every single time a boat goes out of Venezuela it's getting blown up into a million pieces. That's exactly what's happening every single day. I personally have 4 friends who have lost children to fentanyl."

At least he has UAE, Qatar and the Saudis giving him billions, along with millions of MAGA rubes buying his baubles and trinkets.

1968- Nixon tells N. Vietnam not to negotiate peace b/c he will give them a better deal.
1980-Reagan tells Iran to hold the hostages until after the election leading to Iran Contra.
2024- Trump calls Netanyahu & tells him to reject Biden's peace deal so he can win the election.

This is good: Rep Eric Swalwell tells me House Dems are now discussing making an end to mask-wearing a precondition for ICE funding.

"When we are in the majority, the masks are coming off," he says.

This is the next frontier in anti-Trump resistance.

Trump ICE Raids Take Horrific Turn in Chicago, Handing Dems an Opening

There’s one simple pledge Democrats can make to voters about ICE that’s easy to understand and will have broad support.

One of the things people will be protesting this Saturday at No Kings is Scott Bessent sending $40 billion of our money to Argentina while Trump plays golf and Congress says nothing.

That isn’t “hating America.”

That is America First.

Republicans want bailouts for oligarchs.

Jeffries: "Domestic violence is a serious issue in this country for women all throughout America. And the notion that House Republican leaders would dismiss the seriousness of what is clearly emerging as an untenable and frightening situation relative to Rep. Mills is irresponsible."
