Empty bleachers. Rising oil. A soggy parade for a shrinking strongman. Trump's economic house of cards is collapsing under the weight of war, grift, and incompetence, and we’ve got the receipts. #NoKings #NoGrift #Israel #Iran #rfkjr open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

#Zelenskyy says it best: “He came to kill the kids.” Trump compares #Ukraine to a playground fight, builds a White House ballroom, and hides behind a fossil-fueled fantasy. Meanwhile, the kids are suing, and winning. open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Excellent piece and well worth the read.

Trump’s planning a birthday parade while Ukraine bleeds, India and #Pakistan go to war, and the U.S. loses jets over #Yemen. He’s renaming oceans, picking fights with #Canada, and spying on #Greenland #Ukraine #Russia #MarkCarney open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Too funny!

#PMCarney clearly states that we, the people, the owners of Canada, will never sell Canada. Ever. 🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦🍁

Amen

NPR’s Steven Inskeep “If I understand this correctly, the US president has launched a trade war against the world, believes he can force the EU and China to meet his terms, is determined to annex Canada and Greenland, but powerless before El Salvador. Is that it?” open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

I hope this is true.

Well thankfully we have a constitution and first amendment that will endure long past you fat self

Why is this not the number one issue in the US now? This is the slippery slope to a dictatorship. They can deal with the Signal crap and the insider trading later. The abduction and deportation of innocent people with no regard to due process, and then ignoring the courts is truly frightening.

Dr Peter Marks, "Vaccines have been studied very extensively for being potentially associated with autism" "That theory has been debunked" "One study in Denmark, over 600,000 children. It shows that if anything, children had a lower rate of autism than unvaccinated children"

People are starting to wake up.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

Hard to believe they can be so callous about the death of their own child because they refused to vaccinate her...

The good news is that there *are* people meeting the moment. youtu.be/EJxRtjma7lc

Canada is the front line in the war against American fascism. Here is my latest dispatch from the Elbows Up Resistance Tour. Please check it out. charlieangus.substack.com/p/we-are-the...

Is it at all surprising that a convicted felon would ignore a judge's order?

🚨 THIS IS DICTATOR BEHAVIOR 🚨 Trump just declared that he will VOID Biden’s pardons — including for members of the January 6th Committee. This isn’t just an attack on Biden — it’s a direct threat to political dissent and a chilling escalation of political persecution. @polrev.bsky.social

Just over this weekrnd

So if pardons signed by autopen are invalid, does that mean pardons signed by a giant crayon are also invalid, and all the January 6th rioters go back to jail where they belong?

Elbows UP!! Thank you for making elbows great again! 🤣😜

/3 This will (hopefully) come to an end at some point, but when (if) it does, Republicans need to take full responsibility for what they have done. And they need to pay a huge price.

/2. After WWII, Germans were quick to say it wasn't Germans but Nazis who did the terrible things. But Germans put Hitler in power, and then refused to stand up to him until it was far too late. Not all Germans, just like it is not all US citizens now, but one man cannot seize power on his own.

I think it is important to place blame for the issues in the US where it belongs, and it isn't just the orange felon, his number 2, or his co-president. It is all Republicans who made him their candidate, who voted for him, and who refuse to do anything to stop him. /1

Projection at its finest. Just more proof of what kind of monster he really is.

When there was a shitty job in the war it was given to the Canadians. We never flinched. As the US threatens us and allies like Britain duck, we know where we stand. Defending democracy might be a thankless job but give it to Canadians. We will get it done. My latest. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Mike has been a friend of mine since we were young reporters at the @washingtonpost.com in the 1980s. He brims with talent, integrity and commitment to the truth. This is exactly what I expected and he had hoped he could stave off, which is a trash move by trash people. Throw them out.

On the subject of people traveling to the US right about now: Fuck, if I were from another country and I didn't need to come, I sure as hell wouldn't, the current administration has made it clear traveling here isn't safe, and why not take them at their word, there's a whole world to visit

Russia has kidnapped tens of thousands of Ukrainian children. Putin was indicted for this crime. Yale has a unit searching for them. Musk eliminated the funding. inews.co.uk/news/world/m...

I find "listen to the women" excellent advice in this specific case and... in life in general. ♀️ #VoteNO 👎

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

Chuck Schumer was damned if he did and damned if he didn't. Eventually the wheel of karma will turn again in the favor of sensible people, but God, am I tired of waiting.

Well, well, well. The orange felon is having an impact on the world, just not the way he wants.

March 15, 2025:

The Washington Post, despite being owned by Bezos, did an analysis of the US Canada trade deficit claims and gave the orang felon "four Pinocchios" for his claims. Just another day in the life of the pathological liar. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

What seriously is wrong with Democrats? How can they support any of this madness?

Everyone needs to be calling BS on this.

Here is my latest on Putin's man in Washington. This is not about making America "great again" it is about leaving America isolated and undermined on the world stage. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Let's say their names: * General CQ Brown, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff: FIRED FOR BEING BLACK * Admiral Lisa Franchetti, Chief of Naval Operations: FIRED FOR BEING FEMALE * Admiral Linda Fagan, Coast Guard Commandant: FIRED FOR BEING FEMALE All replaced by less qualified white guys.

The last part of this address is powerful and bears reading. www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/c...
