@arimelber.bsky.social my fave protest song is Roberta Flack's version of Compared to What. It's a perfect rendition of Gene McDaniels' timeless critique of society's hypocrisy, war & materialism. Different presidents, wars & worries but still "Tryin' to make it real but compared to what?".

Reality keeps ruining the script…
TRUMP: A professional agitator ran over an ICE agent who barely survived.
THE ICE AGENT: not only looks uninjured physically, he seems mentally fine, not shaken up, unbothered, walking away from the scene.

The fact these countries feel the need to come out and say this publicly is a damning condemnation of Trump's America.
When have countries ever needed to state the obvious like this before, except when faced by aggressors like Putin and Hitler?
Trump has put the US in that category

rom the “figures don’t lie, but liars figure” file comes this Washington Post (!?!) story that Administration claims of a booming job market for U.S.-born workers isn’t backed by its own data.
Trump says the job market is booming for U.S.-born. The data doesn’t show it.
The idea that employment is surging for U.S.-born workers is routinely trumpeted by Trump officials. But economists say otherwise.
