The way that this administration is targeting and harassing Somalians in Minneapolis is disgusting and vile. Keep filming this because one day we are going to hold these agents accountable. Last I heard peacefully protesting doesn’t warrant being sprayed with chemical irritants.

“It makes it harder to go start your own business”

Universal single payer + ubi are the two greatest small business growth policies I can think of. Also, the most powerful way to reduce poverty. Also the most effective way to increase worker power. Also the best way to reduce wealth inequality. Why wouldn't everyone want it?

⚡️ Israel moves toward codifying West Bank annexation as Vance meets Netanyahu Israel’s Knesset has passed a preliminary bill to anchor West Bank annexation into Israeli law, an effort to formalize the reality on the ground of ongoing de facto annexation. The bill, approved 25–24, would extend Israeli civil law to all settlements (all illegal under international law according to the ICJ) in the occupied territory. A second measure covering the controversial Ma’ale Adumim settlement–that cuts the West Bank in two and removes possibility of a contiguous state–also passed 31–9. ➤ The vote coincided with U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance’s visit to Jerusalem, where he told reporters “the U.S. doesn’t dictate to Israel” and said Israel was a “partner” with shared values, not a “vassal state.” ➤ The move directly contradicts U.S. assurances to Arab governments—included in the Trump administration’s 21-point Gaza ceasefire framework from September, which originally contained a clause barring West Bank annexation. That clause was removed a week later following a Trump-Netanyahu meeting when the plan was reduced to 20 points. ➤ 46 of 47 Democratic senators (not John Fetterman) also urged Trump in a letter yesterday to pressure Israel to prevent any formal annexation and reaffirm a path toward Palestinian statehood. ➤ The vote makes clear Israel’s intent to make its control over the West Bank legally irreversible, while testing Washington’s credibility in the region. Crisis Group’s Mairav Zonszein looks at internal Israeli dynamics at play, noting that formal annexation does not even require a vote — East Jerusalem and Syria’s Golan have been annexed by government decision. 🧵👇 🎥 Video: JD Vance and Netanyahu address whether Israel is a “vassal state” or “protectorate” of the United States Mairav Zonszein מרב זונשיין @MairavZ NOW: With Vance in town and Trump having just said that Israel will not annex West Bank, Israel’s Knesset just passed a preliminary vote on “applying sovereignty” to occupied West Bank. This is a slap in the face of the Abraham Accords and the Emiratis in particular. Thread

From 2005 to 2012, one CBP officer or agent was arrested for corruption, crimes, or misconduct EVERY SINGLE DAY. By 2019, it had slowed to just one every 35 hours. Still a huge problem:

But the reality is that Trump's death cult has killed hundreds of thousands, mostly through senseless USAID cuts

'Reducing inequality was “not only about fairness, but essential for the resilience of economies, the stability of democracies, and the viability of our planet”
Just 0.001% hold three times the wealth of poorest half of humanity, report finds

Grok, of course, is the most extreme and visible form of this, but the push for homogenized thought in "anti-woke AI" is ubiquitous. What's actually being rented back to us - at a loss, for now - is what some *want* our thoughts to be.

Couple of things here:

1. Trump says he took another cognitive test recently

2. In front of "large numbers of doctors and experts"

3. He called the examinations "long...and very boring"

4. If you're given 3 cognitive exams in one year by panels of doctors, something is VERY wrong with you
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump There has never been a President that has worked as hard as me! My hours are the longest, and my results are among the best. I've stopped Eight Wars, saving many millions of lives in the process, created the Greatest Economy in the History of our Country, brought Business back into the United States at levels never seen before, rebuilt our Military, created the Largest Tax Cuts and Regulation Cuts, EVER, closed our open and very dangerous Southern Border, when previous Administrations were unable to do so, and created an "aura" around the United States of America that has led every Country in the World to respect us more than ever before. In addition to all of that, I go out of my way to do long, thorough, and very boring Medical Examinations at the Great Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, seen and supervised by top doctors, all of whom have given me PERFECT Marks - Some have even said they have never seen such Strong Results. I do these Tests because I owe it to our Country. In addition to the Medical, I have done something that no other President has done, on three separate occasions, the last one being recently, by taking what is known as a Cognitive Examination, something which few people would be able to do very well, including those working at The New York Times, and I ACED all three of them in front of large numbers of doctors and experts, most of whom I do not know. I have been told that few people have been able to "ace" this Examination and, in fact, most do very poorly, which is why many other Presidents have decided not to take it at all. Despite all of this, the time and work involved, The New York Times, and some others, like to pretend that I am "slowing up," am maybe not as sharp as I once was, or am in poor physical health, knowing that it is not true, and knowing that I work very hard, probably harder than I have ever worked before. I will know when I am "slowing up," but it's not now! After all of the work I have done with Medical Exams, Cognitive Exams, and everything else, I actually believe it's seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for The New York Times, and others, to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and demean "THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES." They are true Enemies of the People, and we should do something about it. They have inaccurately reported on all of my Election Results and, in fact, were forced to apologize on much of what they wrote. The best thing that could happen to this Country would be if The New York Times would cease publication because they are a horrible, biased, and untruthful "source" of information. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! 908 ReTruths 3.07k Likes Dec 09, 2025, 9:11 PM

Never forget, car dependency isn’t freedom.

Some might ask “what’s more free than cars?”

Choices.

Choices are more free than car dependency.

It’s not a hard concept.

I’m not pitting cars against any other single mode of transport.

I’m rejecting design that creates dependency on just one mode.
