Rutger Bregman correctly public identified Trump in a lecture. Trump threatened to sue the BBC if they quoted it.

So I am quoting it and invite you to do the same.

Trump is the most corrupt president in American history.

BBC Rebuked for Censoring Historian Who Called Trump ‘Most Openly Corrupt President in American History’ | Common Dreams
The Dutch historian said the BBC's edit of his lecture shows what happens "when institutions start censoring themselves out of fear of those in power."

Most of my life has been rage, bitterness, and exhaustion. It's good to have been able to find a place near the end of the Earth to slow down and chill.

I hope you can find that near the end of wherever you are.

In the meantime, enjoy tonight's pelican festival 🪶

Whispers of invoking the 25th amendment are ridiculous. His entire cabinet is made up of losers and suckups. No way would they get rid of the fool who gave them unearned power

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

This is real. A government agency calling Americans performing their democratic right of protest “imbecilic morons.” This Trump regime is a poison and never should have gotten power. A total disgrace.

Pam Bondi will not have a license to practice law when this is all over. You can’t stay a bar member and agree to investigate only members of one political party for child sexual abuse but not members of the other. And, you can’t do it after previously saying no one else could be charged.

Trump has removed President Biden’s portrait at the White House and replaced it with a portrait of an autopen.

Trump is a petty, jealous, childish, and hateful person.

I’m sharing a portrait of President Biden as a sign of respect and support.
