Resisting the Fascist Trump Regime, Musk, and the global brigade of ‘dick-swinging’ tech bros—because democracy isn’t a startup, and the free world isn’t for sale. Will fight tyranny with facts, imagination and whatever else it takes. 🌍✊

In March 2025, Dr. Jane Goodall participated in a private Netflix interview for the series “Famous Last Words,” agreeing it would remain sealed until after her death at age 91. Conducted by Brad Falchuk, the session captured her unfiltered reflections on life, conservation, and mortality in a closed-door setup.The posthumous release honored Goodall’s legacy as a primatologist and advocate, featuring candid critiques of leaders like Trump and Musk, alongside messages of hope and planetary action. It launched the series, inspired by a Danish format, allowing icons to shape their final words.Follow me 👉 @historyinmemesView all 15,319 comments

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?

Because Trump is building a Dining Hall equal in size to the existing White House, refurbishing his Qatari Jet and saving for his building projects in Gaza.

This war of revenge has lasted two nightmare years. There’s only one hope for peace: Israel recognising Palestine | Raja Shehadeh

Donald Trump’s proposals are in play, but here in the West Bank we live in fear that the devastation of Gaza is coming our way, says writer and lawyer Raja Shehadeh

On the one hand, Trump doesn't deserve the Nobel Peace Prize even if this 'deal' happens, as we've seen these deals, ceasefires, come & go - & be violated by Israel with US support. Will it even hold?

On the other hand, Kissinger got an effing Nobel Peace Prize so might as well give one to Trump.

It's been over 9 months since the Palisades and Eaton Fires tore through Los Angeles. We asked for federal support, but we haven’t heard a word from the White House.

Not a single offer.

Is this what leadership looks like? Abandoning the American people when they call for help?

2/2
Evacuation of the world of fancy,
Inoperancy of the world of spirit;
This is the one way, and the other
Is the same, not in movement
But abstention from movement; while the world moves
In appetency, on its metalled ways
Of time past and time future.

Descend lower, descend only
Into the world of perpetual solitude,
World not world, but that which is not world,
Internal darkness, deprivation
And destitution of all property,
Desiccation of the world of sense,

Israel destroyed Gaza materially,

but Gaza destroyed Israel morally.

Prophetic - and begs the question... Why are so many 🇺🇸refusing to see the obvious truth? Maybe because they will be forever ashamed of having been complicit with the madness of Trump's America? I pray for the day when the lying hypocrites fascist narcissists are held to account. 🙏🏽

Last night, my team filed a motion to defend voters in California.

DOJ sued 8 states. My firm has filed to protect voters in all 8 states.

We will never back down from the fight to protect free and fair elections.

DOJ has sued 8 states for refusing to turn over their full, unreacted voter files.

My team has now filed motions to defend voters in 7 of those cases in ME, MI, MN, NH, NY, OR and PA.

I suggest that DOJ monitor the docket in the remaining one in CA.

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.
