Trump calls Tim Walz “seriously retarded”
migrant earning $30,000 with a green card will get roughly $50,000 in yearly benefits for their family. The real migrant population is much higher. This refugee burden is the leading cause of social dysfunction in America, something that did not exist after World War II (Failed schools, high crime, urban decay, overcrowded hospitals, housing shortages, and large deficits, etc.). As an example, hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia are completely taking over the once great State of Minnesota. Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for “prey” as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone. The seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both, while the worst “Congressman/woman” in our Country, Ilhan Omar, always wrapped in her swaddling hijab, and who probably came into the U.S.A. illegally in that you are not allowed to marry your brother, does nothing but hatefully complain about our Country, its Constitution, and how “badly” she is treated, when her place of origin is a decadent, backward, and crime ridden nation…

🇵🇸🇮🇹 Italy will hold a nationwide general strike on November 28, led by unions opposing Giorgia Meloni’s 2026 budget and demanding a dignified minimum wage and retirement at 62. Organizers say the strike also targets Italy’s support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza. The slogan “Let’s shut everything down,” used in last month’s mass anti-genocide protests, returns as unions push the government to recognize a Palestinian state. Dockworkers in Genoa are set to join the mobilization, blocking port operations. Francesca Albanese, Greta Thunberg, Chris Hedges and Yanis Varoufakis are in Italy to stand in solidarity. See new posts Conversation Chris Hedges @ChrisLynnHedges Meeting @GretaThunberg in Italy. Join us in Genoa tomorrow for the dock worker’s strike.

More than four centuries ago, Spanish colonizers tried to force their way into Wampís territory in search of gold. The Wampís defeated them and were never conquered. That legacy of resistance continues today. 🌿⚡️

Over the last year, you could have given into anger and despair.

Instead, you’ve organized in the largest numbers this country has ever seen to reclaim the power of the pro-democracy majority.

We could not be more thankful for you and everything you’re doing to defy Trump’s agenda.

If inflation comes up at the dinner table, don’t forget to draw attention to a deeper structural driver of high prices: corporate power.

Much of the food industry is dominated by a few corporate giants with the power to keep prices high because they face little competition.

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.

An 18yo US citizen, surrounded by eight masked, armed agents of the state, taken into custody, not read his rights, not offered a chance to contact a lawyer, proof of citizenship ignored, handcuffed so tightly he later required medical attention.

Profoundly, profoundly anti-American shit.
