I was a Vietnamese refugee. I want to use my voice to carve out something for myself. My favourite line from Utada Hikaru's magnum opus Kremlin Dusk is "I run a secret propaganda, aren't we all hiding pieces of broken anger?"
A perfect Polymarket wager. I don't endorse Polymarket, but I am throwing it out there in the hope that it will gain some traction to unseat that wannabe dictator.

@katiephang.bsky.social . Penny for your thoughts. What's your view regarding Polymarket spreading lies and misinformation? Can we use it to unseat Donald Trump by driving attention to such conspiracy theories as whether or not Trump ordered the suicide of his best friend. Fight fire with fire?

Good, now send this message to MAGA so they can pressure their Representatives to make it happen. There is no reason for it to not be public any longer. The GOP need to stop hiding behind the guise of protecting the "victims"(perpetrators).

Clintons call for their Epstein testimony to be held publicly

With all due respect, I don't think Trump needs to wait for the treaty to expire. I am pretty sure he has unilaterally ended treaties before. RIP NAFTA. This arm treaty just has not been placed on his desk yet or He's still trying to figure out how he can one up Putin and get rich from this.
If Congress doesn’t act, the last nuclear arms control treaty between the U.S. and Russia will expire. It would pointlessly wipe out decades of diplomacy, and could spark another arms race that makes the world less safe. This piece is worth the read.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Trump couldn't do that to his BF after rolling out the red carpet to receive Putin in Alaska back in 2025. Trump ignored the ICC's arrest warrant for Putin then because he doesn't care. Trump is self-serving.
President Zelensky reacts to Maduro’s capture, suggesting Putin should be next:
If it is possible to deal with dictators like that, just like that, then the United States of America knows what to do next.

Wait, let's not normalize this. Grok is an AI. His apology meant nothing. Have executives at X/xAI make the apology. Let's not start to treat AI like they are sentient beings capable of knowing right and wrong just yet.

💯. How will the US Congress and Supreme Court square this parallel and let Trump get away with war crimes? It's clearly a trapezoid.
Maduro's not a good guy, agreed. But neither is Putin, and Trump rolled out the red fucking carpet for him. It's not about dope, it's about oil (which kinda IS dope).
Just when you think Trump has hit the gutter, he bounces lower.

The truth is, we don't need to wait for a mind-blowing documentary 10 years from now for that revelation about Trump and the GOP's corruption. But I understand why the world tuned in for the Depp and Heard trial while they sat around waiting for that documentary about Trump's corruption. Bandwidth.

@katiephang.bsky.social, you are too generous with the use of the word diplomacy. I don't even think Trump knows what that is. Putin didn't have to use a bomb to dismantle US democracy. He knew that US democracy would crumble when he helped the US install the most vile and corrupt person as POTUS.

Likewise, Donald Trump has never been a good businessman. losing more of his father's great wealth than he made.
What Trump is, is a mediocre crook that has been extremely lucky in finding so many gullible people to scam and wealthy crooks to align himself with.
He and the MAGA congress must go.

The Affordable Care Act's biggest flaw was its synonymous namesake Obama Care. It is so sad that Americans let their political tribalism and bigotry get in the way of progress.
His "concept" of a Healthcare Plan is finally revealed. It involves eliminating the Insurance Industry & people purchasing their OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE. Unrelated, note his obsessive envy of Obama, historically rated 1 of our finest presidents, who he still believes was born in Kenya.

So, the general public blames the Republicans for the shutdown. Got it. I like how Trump doesn't recognize the truth that he spits out at times. A broken clock can indeed be right twice a day.
Mr. "I Don't Take Responsibility At All" thinks the MASSIVE BLUE WAVE was because he wasn't on the ballot, not
a Major Referendum on his 2nd Term.
Turns out folks prefer feeding the hungry over building expen$ive, tacky Ballrooms.
Looking forward to the midterms... 🌊

That's news to the Trump Regime. Clearly the overqualified, Yale graduate, US Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent wouldn't have known about it to advise Trump differently. He was constantly on TV lying about tariffs on Trump's behalf. It's malicious.
