An introduction: I grew up in Hamilton, not far from the steel mills. My dad provided for a family of four working three shifts at International Harvester before the company offshored its manufacturing. My opportunity to find work as a labourer evaporated when conservative neo-liberalism… 1/8

It's not a issue of respect for a President.
It's a question of respect for the Constitution and America.
A respect for democracy and the citizens.
Trump's second term has been detrimental to the interests of America and the people.
He has betrayed the USA. 🇺🇸

The Trump administration's social media repurposes language and cultural references with connections to neo-Nazi and white supremacist movements.
It's content that experts say is instantly recognizable to those who are in the white supremacist know, but can be largely invisible to everyone else.

And their supporters are loving it.

Costs from Trump's tariffs paid mainly by US firms and consumers, NY Fed says
Last year, collective import tariff rates on various goods coming into the US more than tripled.

I discovered Israeli government procurement documents showing a Canadian group that's sending right-wing media personalities on free trips to Israel was granted funds from Israel's foreign ministry
The funding came through an arm of the ministry focused on managing “public perception of Israel”

Remember, Donald Trump desperately does everything he can think of to project power. People who have real power...and know it...don't need to do that. He fears us...we the people...because he knows our collective energy...can absolutely send the GOP packing. Never forget that.
