A reminder that the same people screaming at Dems for talking about affordability & “kitchen table” issues today instead of fascism were screaming at Dems for talking about fascism instead of inflation & “kitchen table” issues a year & a half ago.

Breaking news (to anyone who hasn't been paying attention): tariffs are paid by Americans.
“.. foreign exporters absorbed only about 4% of the burden of last year’s U.S. tariff increases by lowering their prices, while American consumers and importers absorbed 96%.” 🤡

Trump wasn't awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, blames the country of Norway for it, so then he takes someone else's peace prize and decides he's not going to do peace anymore and that's why he wants to take over Greenland. 😱
In a letter to multiple European ambassadors today, President Trump says that because Norway failed to give him a Nobel Peace Prize, “I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of peace”

The letter goes on to demand “complete and total control of Greenland.”

Iran is drenched in the blood of martyrs for freedom. Thousands upon thousands of people, some figures point upwards of 18,000, have been slaughtered by the security apparatus of this regime. I don’t know what to call this or what else to say. I haven’t heard from my cousin in over a week.

We're at the point where ICE cosplaying as soldiers have to be distinguished from actual National Guard members.
KNOW THE DIFFERENCE: Minnesota National Guard under Gov Walz's command will not be wearing facemasks and will have reflective vests on. This will distinguish them from the people cosplaying for ICE/CBP/DHS.

On the plus side, this might mean he's not thinking of physically invading and seizing Greenland. So that's slightly better
Trump slaps allies with Greenland tariffs. From Feb 1, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, UK, Netherlands, and Finland face 10% on all exports. June 1, it jumps to 25%.

In Crimea the vote was held by the Russian troops. There wasn't an option to vote to stay a part of Ukraine on the ballot. That's entirely different from states running elections. Also, obviously, America is WAY bigger, so the ratio of voters to armed men would actually matter.
Jamelle, you don't need that many troops to rig a vote. Look at the 'annexation referendum' in Crimea. Thr simple presence of armed men at polling places is suppression, regardless of how many there are.

Sorry, folks, I'm just extremely tired of the "we'll totally give Dems credit for doing XYZ" people immediately wrong rocking anything and everything Dems do.

Once again, for those in back: nothing short of removing Trump and his admin from office will stop the bad things from happening.

Greenland has less than a tenth of the population of Wyoming. Does anyone consider how that would affect representation in the House?

The Russo-Ukrainian War has now gone on longer than the Great Patriotic War did for the Soviet Union.
⚡️Russia 'repeated fascism,' Zelensky says as war in Ukraine outlasts Nazi Germany's war with USSR.

The full-scale war in Ukraine entered its 1,418th day on Jan. 11, matching the length of Nazi Germany's fight against the Soviet Union during World War II.

Well, this is terrifying.
Trump told NYT that his power as commander in chief is constrained only by his "own morality" — brushing aside international law and other legitimate checks on his abilities.

"My own morality. My own mind. It's the only thing that can stop me."

"I don't need international law."
