When people start doubting that Trump actually wants to work with dictators, they might ask themselves why the two states he is working hard to limit military sales to are Taiwan and Ukraine.

russia is the cancer of this world.

Abolish ICE…

Honored to have this conversation with @petergeoghegan.bsky.social - Britain’s most effective journalist on covering dark money, concentration of power and corruption…answer to ‘how fucked are we?’ was something along the lines of ‘more than we should be’

Trump’s new directive, brands dissent ❝anti-American❞ and empowers federal crackdowns on activists, nonprofits, and critics under the guise of fighting ❝political violence.❞ It’s a blueprint for criminalizing opposition and/or dissent — a weaponized state wrapped in patriotic rhetoric.

This evil has GOT to stop! Imagine families having to deal with this. 👠

Governor Pritzker should call up the Illinois National Guard - to stop ICE.

It sure looked like Greg Bovino was in charge of the Illinois State Police yesterday in Broadview. Still waiting to hear back from Pritzker's office on this.

Last Friday, French photojournalist Antoni Lallican was killed by a russian drone while documenting the war in Ukraine💔 He was wearing a “PRESS” vest. Yet another brutal, dishonorable war crime by russian monsters. Rest In Peace, Antoni🇫🇷🇺🇦

The chances of us even having another election, or an election where they honor the true results, appear to be dwindling by the day.

#GeorgiaProtests: The situation near the Orbeliani Presidential Palace has remained tense for hours, with protesters targeted by water cannons and tear gas. Demonstrations are scattered across Tbilisi.

Pritzker should mobilize them first. The entire Illinois Army National Guard. Order them to protect Illinois residents from menacing outsiders, regardless of who they work for.

Not only does this story get a number of basic facts wrong, it doesn’t take time to actually explore why Portlanders elected these folks. Coming in with a pre-baked PDX story to fit a NYT narrative about NYC is harmful, especially at this moment.

I’ll echo what everyone else has already said: Read and support local journalism.

🇪🇺 keeps waiting for invasion, meanwhile, 🇷🇺 is already inside the house.

When a demented leader summons their General Officers only to publicly display ignorant and autocratic disdain for their expertise, disaster follows. This hubris paves the way for a cascade of unforced errors, from strategic blunders and poor morale to national destabilization and military defeat.

Fun fact: Google has forced Gemini to avoid or delete any reference, direct or indirect, to the clearly apparent fact that Trump suffers from dementia. This is an example of how the broligarchy gaslights us.

“Salisbury chatted candidly, and at times profanely, about a wide range of matters with Hegseth’s adviser Patrick Weaver … According to Weaver, Hegseth wanted Trump to expressly tell him to send [the 82nd] into the American city.” www.startribune.com/trump-offici...

Now we have the Trump Administration's "nice university ya' got there, shame if anything should happen to it" campaign centered around a mafia-style protection racket they call "The Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education." Did we help make it happen? 1/ www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/o...

Your opinion - chime in - Should the USA conserve Tomahawk missiles so we can conduct missiles strikes on Venezuela and Mexico, or should we give a few to Ukraine instead?

History repeats.

Sanae Takaichi is set to become Japan’s first female prime minister. As of July 2025, 65 countries have had a woman serve as either president or prime minister. She makes it 66. Why is America so far behind with zero?? Let’s pass #ERA and elect a woman. Tell me who you’d support.

V WaPo: Sanae Takaichi set to become Japan’s first female prime minister She is a newscaster turned politician who has served in top government positions, and defeated four other candidates to win the leadership of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) in her 3. run at the party leadership post.

newrepublic.com/article/2013... Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham discusses how New Mexico will soon become the first state with universal free childcare and why the Democratic Party needs to look to states and governors for fresh ideas and strategies.

We keep warning about martial law. Just trust the evidence of your eyes and ears. This is what the Trump Administration will do to stay in power. They're creating their own Reichstag fires on a weekly basis.

Four U.S. citizen children were detained in an ICE raid—zip-tied, separated, held for hours. Imagine if these were your precious little ones! Can you close your eyes to this depravity? Please don't. Remember If this could happen to these little kids, it can happen to yours. Speak out now!

That would be much more appropriate, don't you think? 😋 @spbmckenna.bsky.social 🇦🇺🫂🇬🇧 Trump was nominated for the 'Nobel' Piece of shit 💩
