Does Drumpf realize his hypocrisy? He said “senseless killing of protesters [must] stop” not referring to here in US. Iranian protestors obviously shouldn’t be killed, but neither should we here peacefully expressing ourselves and fulfilling our humanitarian responsibility to protect our neighbors.

Say their names. Renee Nicole Good. Keith Porter.
A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

RIP Renee Nicole Good. Tragic! My heart is with her child, wife, family, and friends.
WTH has happened to the U.S. that I love??? I’m so sad for our country but I’ll keep on marching and protesting and using my free speech rights until we swing back to humanity, love, and care for each other.

Renee Nicole Good was 37 - A U.S. citizen - and a poet — her wife watched her be murdered and is now a single parent to a 6 year old

Are the Republican congressional members going to continue to abdicate all their responsibilities under the U.S. constitution to provide oversight and check and balance over the executive branch? Even when Trump swoops into PM Carney’s bedroom, abducts him, and decides to “run” Canada too??? MF DJT.
Angus: We see this attack as setting the stage for an attack where Trump could go anywhere. The same language he’s used against Venezuela, he’s used against Canada—and he sees that we have immense resources. The difference is, good luck thinking that you are going to break the Canadian people.

Compare Mamdani’s speech w/ Trump’s crud about “hating” those who think differently than him or use their constitutional right to speak against hate, racism, cruelty. If dem party is to survive, they’ll listen, take notes, build-in a Dem Socialist platform. So proud to be New Yorker (by birth) today
Mamdani: "While only action can change minds, I promise you this: If you are a New Yorker, I am your mayor. Regardless of whether we agree I will protect you, celebrate with you, mourn along side you, and not for a second hide from you."

Some men may downplay climate change risks to avoid appearing feminine
A new study finds that men who are anxious about their masculinity are less likely to care about climate change. They may view environmental concern as a feminine trait that threatens their image.

Important read. “While his cowardly colleagues in the majority on that shadow docket decision refused to explain their thinking, Kavanaugh actually wrote a concurrence that was so out of touch with reality as to be embarrassing. But at least it was an explanation.” #SCOTUS #NoICE
