I’m not sure if I’m more concerned about a narcissist … that’s also the US President actually believes Portland is a war torn city or that a group of people close to a US President has convinced him that Portland is a war torn city.

You cannot receive a peace prize while you’re invading your own country. #TrumpIsInsane

Seth Abramson @sethabramson.bsky.social · 10h

I can’t adequately express how mystified and nauseated I am by the conversation about Trump receiving a Nobel Peace Prize that corporate media is now leading. But as a journalist, attorney, historian and Trump presidential biographer I’m now obligated to make the case *against* in full.

Here it is:

Media and MAGA Calls for Trump to Catch a Nobel Peace Prize Rather Than An ICC War Crimes Indictment Are Obscene

The second-biggest threat to global peace after Putin has earned a cell for war crimes—not a humanitarian award. That his grotesque and scammy appeal for a Nobel Peace Prize is working is terrifying.

This MFer believes he can BULLY his way into a “peace prize.” Oh the irony and my vote is NO FECKING WAY #Norway

Irony of ironies. Trump is pressuring Norway for a peace prize.

“His campaign has thrust Oslo into an uncomfortable spotlight, with media and observers worrying about the diplomatic and economic fallout should the Norwegian Nobel Committee snub him.”

Stunning to me that I scroll thru instagram and there’s shopping and then there are priests being tear gassed then puppies and then ICE using zip ties on kids.

What is going on in our country and why aren’t we all in the streets!

Call everyone you know with influence. Schedule a Zoom call. Speak with one voice. Call a General Strike that lasts a week.

It will end the shutdown & the Trump Regime.

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

An artificial heart for children with congenital heart defects was almost finished. Families had waited for years it.

Then, Trump canceled billions in grants for universities — including the grant for this device.

The cruelty is endless. www.npr.org/2025/10/09/n...

This 4-year-old's heart is failing. A federal grant that might help him was canceled

A Cornell University researcher has been developing an artificial heart for children for more than 20 years. Now, his research is on hold and his lab is shut down.
