Sending billions to Argentina while laying off Americans at home.

Letting Qatar build a base on US soil coz they bribed Trump with a plane and are investing billions in his personal business ventures.

Doesn’t seem like “America First”, does it?

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

Welcome to America, where peaceful protesters get tear-gassed and thrown to the ground like ragdolls.

Debbie Brockman, a producer with WGN, was violently forced to the ground and detained by #ICE this morning, seemingly only because she was a bystander to their arrests. #chicago

I love how the Nobel committee waited for him to be at his most vulnerable—nearly begging for it—and then just buried his ass. Boom.

Trump dismantled, USAID, the U.S. Institute for Peace and halved the U.S. Peace Corps staff within months of taking office in January. And he thinks he’s going to get a peace medal for that?

Congratulations, Ms. Corina Machado! 🤩The world admires your bravery in the face of tyranny. Clearly, a lesson Trump will NEVER learn.

No money flowing to USAID and hardly any to PEPFAR despite their duly enacted funding; well north of twenty billion dollars being deployed for other weird hair autocrats. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Churchill sent the Black and Tans to terrorize Ireland, and was denied his request to aerial bomb the west. Roosevelt rounded up and forcible detained thousands of US citizens of Japanese descent in internment camps. Not the greatest models for f anti-fascist behavior.

If the Insurrection Act is invoked to defy a court order, it would be unlawful, unconstitutional, and unenforceable, and would trigger:
• Immediate injunctions;
• Noncompliance by the military;
• Congressional impeachment;
• Possible invocation of the 25th Amendment.

That is, according to the law.
