Tim Walz: “Donald Trump calling our Somali neighbors ‘garbage’ and the state of Minnesota a ‘hellhole’ is unprecedented for a US President. Demonizing an entire group of people by their race and their ethnicity is something I was hoping we’d never have to see.”

What a sick joke. Will they put photos of the murders in the Caribbean Sea in the lobby? How about a photo of Trump clapping as the murderer Putin arrives in Alaska? Or Trump having the time of his life with the murdering Saudi Prince MBS?

Trump hits a new low: He just pardoned a man who killed more Americans than Bin Laden. Juan Hernández, former president of Honduras, was a key figure in flooding the US with cocaine. During his drug ring, US overdoses from cocaine skyrocketed. My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/trump-just...

I hope people take two minutes to listen to this shocking display of bigotry. It brings clarity to what we are fighting against. We should all be sick to hear such un-American drivel from the President of the United States.
Trump: "It’s a hellhole right now. And those Somalians should be out of here. They've destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her. She’s always talking about the Constitution provides me with – go back to your own country and figure out your constitution."

This man ripped off teachers, nurses, small business owners - people from all walks of life and professions. Some lost their life savings. Not only did Trump let him out of prison, he also doesn’t have to pay back the victims.

Remember: Trump or Russian propagandists might say otherwise, but Putin is not winning, and the Ukrainians are not losing.
I am told that internal Ukrainian army information shows that more than 26,000 Russian soldiers were killed or critically wounded in the month of November. Confirmed by videos. No wonder Putin wants to get Trump to give him territory for free

"Does this feel like or look like a well-run competent administration? It took them 10 months to discover that the United States doesn't grow bananas and that therefore if we tariff bananas that that's not going to bring banana factories on shore."

The Oak Moon name stems from the significance of the oak tree in Celtic and Druidic traditions. The oak tree's enduring strength through the winter, made it a powerful symbol of resilience and the promise of growth and light returning after the winter solstice.

The #northernlights over #Northumberland last night, back lit by moonlight.
Galileo Galilei coined the term #AuroraBorealis to describe them. He referred to the ancient Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora, and the ancient Greek god of the north wind, Boreas.
