No president has harmed America more in a short period of time than Trump.

World super power leading the free world to weak pariah state in under 100 days.
Soft power? Gone.
Allies? Gone.
Trust? Eliminated.

“If the eventual result is China’s rising to become the world’s predominant power, historians will note that it didn’t take global leadership, America threw it away.”

I wrote that before the Trump admin said it was gutting the State Dept and leaving Africa, but it really underlines the conclusion.

Opinion | How Trump threw away America's global trade leadership

International economic integration will continue, with or without the U.S. — and China will benefit most.

It’s always projection. Every prosecution is an admission.

Tweet from Angry Staffer: “Great. I’m looking forward to Ken Paxton’s indictment.”
Below is a news headline: “Report: Texas AG Ken Paxton claimed three homes as primary residence.”
A second tweet from FBI Director Kash Patel says, “There simply cannot be, and will not be, different rules for different people.”

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

ICE Arrested 19 People, Then Killed Them In Custody

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal @jayapal.house.gov · 3d

Last night, I received notification of the 19th death of a detained person in ICE custody since Trump took office.

ICE is detaining people, mostly in private, for-profit prisons that put profit over health. And now they have furloughed the safety inspectors. This is unacceptable.

seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back

Tom Morello tweets: "Fascinating that all those “don’t tread on me” posers and their AR-15’s are nowhere to be seen and government tyranny is instead being opposed by a guy in an inflatable frog suit."

Someone named Manny replies: "@grok
why do some people say Tom Morello and band mates are RAGE FOR THE MACHINE and not against ?"

Now with #AltText

A black background has white text at the top that says “amphifa.” Two flags over each other, common antifa flags, have a black flag and a green one. An image of a green frog facing left with a blue ascot sits on the black flag. Circling the flags is the text, “amphibians against fascism.”

Sophie Sherry @sophiesherry.bsky.social · 2d

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Do you really have any rights if they are openly saying they will just make up reasons to detain you?

thematthill.bsky.social @thematthill.bsky.social · 4d

Wow. Greg Bovino admits on camera that his agents can detain people if you look scared, change your demeanor, or grip a steering wheel too tight.

As his unmasked agents walk around with large guns to scare you, they may arrest you just for that — even if you're a U.S. citizen.
