Did the United States really spend trillions of dollars on winning the Cold War, only for its president in 2025 take orders from a Russian dictator?
This is an earth-shattering humiliation for America of which its reputation may never recover.

"Chief Justice John Roberts has led the Supreme Court for 20 years now. In that time, his Republican-appointed majority has completely transformed America and its politics, with many of its most destructive opinions written by Roberts himself."

![This is a political cartoon by Bill Bramhall published in the New York Daily News on April 30, 2024.
The cartoon depicts President Donald Trump being carried on the shoulders of the Supreme Court justices, holding a gun in each hand.
A street sign for "FIFTH Ave" is visible in the foreground.
The imagery alludes to Trump's infamous 2016 comment that he could "stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and [he] wouldn't lose any voters".
The cartoon's publication coincided with the Supreme Court hearing arguments on presidential immunity claims made by Trump in his election interference case.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mfzajpkujzowch2jy3pccr4a/bafkreibn3572gvatfk33deru6yq7g3jnfgy7luhp3ljjfoitcwgatjvvdm@jpeg)

Context you rarely hear: global stocks are up about 30% over the past year. U.S. stocks? Around 18%. That means American investors underperformed the world by about 12 percentage points, even while headlines called it a “fantastic year.”

Many of us are exhausted having worked to learn the truth of our own history on our own, but also having to learn the history of American white people that most white ppl refuse to learn.
That is partly why when you say “why are you surprised” it’s so annoying. Believe me, we are not surprised!

It’s hard to believe that one man can cause so much stress, so much fear, so much pain and suffering…a man who took an oath to preserve and protect our Constitution. This man, who is inciting terror across our land, must be removed from office. In a sane world, it would happen immediately.

If the Epstein files have proven anything, it’s that the justice system isn’t broken; it’s working exactly as it was built to do: to shield the rich and powerful from accountability while victims are buried, ignored, or silenced.

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
And 1 million Epstein files appeared from thin air
