Donald Trump a fait des droits de douane une pierre angulaire de sa politique commerciale mais aussi de sa diplomatie.

Civicus, the non-profit that monitors civic freedoms in 198 countries has downgraded the US from “narrowed” to “obstructed,” thanks to the Trump Administration policies. Remember Orban told Trump he was amazed at how fast Trump was able to shift things in the US. That shift is being catalogued.

NASA has announced when the longest total solar eclipse of the century will occur—and you won’t have to wait long. Here’s what you should know. www.wired.com/story/the-lo...

If the SCOTUS6 twist themselves into a legalistic pretzel by using the phrase “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” of the 14th Amendment to allow Trump to partially end birthright citizenship, they would also be partially reestablishing slavery because the 13th Amendment uses a similar phrase.

The Nobel Prize committee should announce the World Cup winner tomorrow

Apparently global warming is bad for plants and bad for the climate system.

Can you say the SAME?! 🤚

Trump says he doesn’t know what “affordability” is. Not surprising considering he inherited more than $400 million in inflation adjusted dollars from his father, according to a NYT investigation; not surprising considering he’s grifted $billions while president.

This is absolutely the only way to go: Europe needs its own plan for 🇺🇦! And not just any plan. A European strategy for victory is a requirement for a sustainable negotiated settlement. Seems hard for a lot of people to understand...

My prediction. The Epstein files will not be released. They will be leaked. By a woman as there are no brave men left.

How nice that Trump supposedly gets preventive MRIs while millions of Americans are being stripped of basic healthcare

Thou shalt not pretend that you’re at war with drug traffickers while pardoning drug traffickers.

Happy birthday to #LaskerLaureate Victor R. Ambros! By studying the microscopic worm #Celegans, he discovered that tiny RNAs are key regulators of gene expression. 🧪@umasschan.bsky.social #modelorganism #RNAbiology ow.ly/Ak7150CsW9p

A long and incomplete thread on HIV and AIDS in observation of World AIDS Day 2025, which the Trump regime would like you to think does not exist.

Reposting this everyday until Pete Hagueseth faces justice for his crimes against humanity.

Ahead of the 2020 election, we asked people in prison what might have helped keep them from committing the crime that led to their incarceration. Among their responses were: • affordable housing • a stable, well-paying job • mental health support

PLEASE DONATE IF YOU CAN (I just did): As a person living with HIV/AIDS since 2003, World AIDS Day is always personal to me. HIV isn’t over. Last year worldwide 630,000 died from HIV and every 30 seconds someone somewhere gets infected. amFAR has been working tirelessly to end HIV/AIDS.

This tired, deeply-damaged man is so needy. He has to have references to him being president on his hat, on his shirt, and on a golf-framed placard next to his overcooked cheeseburger he's almost too-out-of-it to eat.

Give not a millimeter to Russia. Not a single grain of Ukrainian soil.

When Garland became AG he said his job 1 was to restore the integrity of the DOJ. He pursued that to a fault considering what happened on Jan 6th. The next Democratic AG needs to make job 1 the restoration of the rule of law, which will encompass restoring the integrity of the DOJ. Marc Elias?

BTW, these recent stories/leaks against Hegseth and Kristi Noem came from within the White House and MAGA. The knives are out, folks.

Kinda hard to convince people that you're at war with drug traffickers while pardoning drug traffickers. --Brian Tyler Cohen

Trump posted the following on his crappy app. He doesn’t not have the authority to cancel every Biden document. Example: pardon power is virtually absolute. He can cancel Biden’s EOs just as the next president can cancel many of Trump’s upon taking office. And Biden has the same immunity Trump has.

Commenting on something Trump posted online by saying that it was likely written by someone else adds nothing to the conversation. I don't give a rat's ass how Trump authors the content he publishes under his name—if he published it, he said it. Stop focusing on conspiracy theories about authorship.

FYI: the “disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan” was negotiated and begun by…. Donald Trump

This tragedy is totally the Felon presidents fault , let’s call it for what it is. He was ordered to remove the troops from D.C. and didn’t. Can you imagine what the radical right would be saying if it was on Biden’s watch . He’s blaming Biden when the blood is on his hands.

My 911 dispatcher husband is mentally prepping for tomorrow and all the turkey deep fryer calls, fallen grandparents (huge uptick on holidays), and drunk Karens. Also please don't give MeeMaw her first edible at your usual dose. It won't end well. AND FOR CRYING OUT LOUD LOCK UP YOUR GUNS.

Garry Kasparov @garrykasparov.bsky.social: Four years Ukraine is fighting for the whole Europe. NATO was built to fight only one war, not to go to Afghanistan, not to go to Syria. One war to save free Europe from Russian aggression.

Happy Thanksgiving!

@jefftiedrich.bsky.social perfect analysis of Trump pardoning the turkeys: “‘Gobble’ and ‘Waddle’? they named the turkeys after the way Donny eats and walks? do you think they intended to name them ‘Goebbels’ and ‘Wehrmacht’ but decided at the last minute it was too on-the-nose?”

The Mark Kelly thing is wild because even if they had a case against him and even if he wasn't probably immune from prosecution under the speech and debate clause, Hegseth has already ruined it by exerting undue command influence

If Trump pardons Ghislaine Maxwell she can’t invoke the 5th Amendment because she wouldn’t be liable for prosecution for any other sex crimes she committed, assuming the pardon covers those— unless she lies in front of Congress — at which point she would be liable for prosecution for perjury.

I hope folks realize that between Trump, Kushner, Hegseth, Witkoff, Noem, RFK, Jr., Kash Patel, and Tulsi Gabbard, this country is almost entirely undefended.

600,000 lives lost and counting due to Trump allowing Musk to destroy USAID. Even though the deaths are scattered among various countries and peoples, how is this not the most outrageous and hideous genocide of the 21st Century, perpetrated by the American Government in our names?

OMG the new york times, which endlessly discussed Biden's age, has FINALLY discovered that Trump is... ALSO OLD.

A perfect summary of of Trump’s “healthcare” plan by @jefftiedrich.bsky.social “Oval Bordello dog-and-pony show [that was cancelled] wherein he would announce that he finally had the framework of a sketch for concept of an outline for a proposal of an almost-a-plan for healthcare.”

The EU, the UK, and Canada have the resources to provide Ukraine with what it needs to force Russia into capitulation, instead of forcing Ukraine to accept the odious 28-point plan. If they don’t have the will, given all the recent Russian incursions into NATO airspace, they will rue the day.

"Timothy Snyder: Russian invasion is on a world war scale, but Ukraine alone is fighting it, keeping us in a 1938-like historical moment" #BlueSkyFriends Call your Senators & House Member & demand they work against this outrageous betrayal of Ukraine & Europe. Stand With Ukraine 💙💛 #You'reNotAlone

The moment when Democrats delivered healthcare to more than 30 Million additional American citizens. Healthcare is a human right.

HAPPENING NOW: DC community members are outside MPD headquarters to demand independent investigations of and release of all officer names and body cam footage in the three deaths in police custody this week, as well as the termination of Trump’s “DC Safe and Beautiful” Task Force.

Lisa Rubin: Comey moves to dismiss on grounds of multiple alleged instances of grand jury misconduct, stating that because the two-count indictment was never presented to the full grand jury, there was no actual indictment within the five-year statute of limitations for the two charged crimes.

There’s nothing stopping the SCOTUS6 from reversing their not found in the Constitution “Trump has absolute immunity” decision, and now would be the right time given Trump’s exhortation to hang Democratic members of Congress for reminding the military to uphold their oaths to the Constitution.

If Jack Smith had indicted Trump under U.S. Code Title 18 §2383. Rebellion or insurrection, I wonder if a) the SCOTUS6 would have granted him immunity, and b) would he be calling for the execution of the members of Congress who are advocating for the military not to follow illegal orders.

Trump sycophants take note it was on this day in 1945 that the Nuremberg trials began.

OK. Nothing to do with politics. Oh wait. My bad. Climate change is driving skiers to higher elevations because of disappearing snow at lower ones. Being caught in an avalanche is bad enough but made worse by a higher elevation. This study looked at a potential life-saving backpack.🧪

A reminder: Tariffs are a regressive tax. The anti-Robin Hood. Trump's current tariff settings effectively impose a tax rate on low-income households that's roughly TRIPLE that on high-income folks. That's not the way taxes are supposed to work. [source: budgetlab.yale.edu/research/sta...

50501 is firmly anti-fascism, which requires us to be anti-genocide in all cases. Whether it’s the Kherson human safari (Russian genocide of Ukrainians), the Genocide in Gaza, the Darfur Genocide, Trump’s plan for immigrants, or the Holocaust, we must oppose oppression in all its forms.
