Quiet. We’re busy rebuilding Venezuelan infrastructure. And the Kennedy Center. 🤡
Tens of thousands of people across Tennessee, Mississippi and Louisiana have gone a week without power or heat after a brutal ice storm. At least three dozen people have died in connection with the storm, officials have said.
Fear and Anger Grow as Thousands Remain Without Power in the South

The President is a sick man. We have all known that for a long time. What astonishes and horrifies me is the millions of people that voted for him and hold everyone to a higher standard.
How on earth did this uncouth buffoon ever make it to the White House? More baffling, how on earth is he still allowed to continue wrecking the country; economically, socially and politically?
The U.S. is sadly unrecognisable!

While Trump steers our country to economic devastation claiming tariffs will bring back manufacturing, China continues winning with back door manufacturing and forced labor.

Every blue state Trump invades with his secret police ensures that people despise him more. The chaos and undignified manner of his administration show Trump’s true colors. It ensures an increase in people voting for Democrats. That is why they want Dem state voter roles to suppress the vote.

Paul Krugman is right. An economic divorce from the United States by the major global economies is occurring. When will American corporations realize that aligning with a Trump dictatorship will send them to ruin?

There is a large part of this country that has no intellectual grasp of what is going on. Whether it’s a lack of reading or just getting news from Facebook, there is a huge need to reach the public and make them realize what’s at stake. The biggest action they can take is to register to vote.

None of this is normal. Every day congress acts like it’s every day business normalizes the process. Garland not activating criminal charges against Trump made it seem like he was not guilty of anything.
The president of the United States had his Justice Dept. raid an election office and seize ballots in order to cast doubt on an election he lost. Yet, this is treated by legacy media as just another normal day.

While we cut education, science, and funding for things that actually make America great, we are funding an untrained secret police force for Trump that doesn’t have to abide by laws, doesn’t have to have badges or id, and can kill people with impunity.

At some point species besides humans on land and in water will not be able to sustain the extreme temperatures. They don’t have air conditioned buildings. The 6th mass extinction is discussed, but we are amplifying their death. Trump has consumed the world while climate issues are ignored.
Obviously nobody reported this historic event in Florida,or the hundreds of records from Greenland to Costa Rica,while charlatans in USA keep yelling at UNEXISTENT cold records, without a single station in thousands having broken a monthly cold record.

This drawing was made by one of the 5 year old El Gamal twins. It shows children behind bars with the caption, “I’m 5 years old.”
An immigration judge denied them bond, citing “insufficient assets.” These children could remain in detention for years while their case is appealed.

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.
“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

After executing Alex Pretti on Saturday, ICE has shifted to primarily targeting bus stops and elementary schools in my community this week. I cannot overstate how much of the ICE activity in my community is just targeting places where little kids are.
Video from this morning shows ICE agents deploying tear gas outside a Minneapolis preschool as parents shout, “This is a preschool! There’s kids here!”
