Twitter ex-pat. Watching in utter dismay as our future unfolds in ways history teachers & archeologists will be straining to explain.
I often find it difficult not to ponder what could have been.

What if more of us turned left instead of right at that intersection?

Where would we be now?

*Sigh*
Kamala nailed it:
“Don’t let a person or a moment defeat your spirit.”

That joy and hope came from us.
In times like these, we have to hold on to it and keep going. 💛

As expected, when exposed to just the slightest scrutiny, the justifications supporting the Gov’s immigration arrests are falling apart. I hope the federal defense bar aggressively pursues the Brady Rule to quickly identify and dethrone the worst of the worst.

So, POTUS coordinated with Iran on when to attack an American military base, putting Only the gunners and who knows how much American tax money at risk.

Not to mention the millions of $ spent shooting down incoming Iranian missiles.

trump/miller are just dying for their own Reichstag Fire Decree. The nonstop lying. Deploying the military against Americans, attacks on immigrants, the sick, the marginalized.

If there is anything good about hitler, it’s that now we can see these guys coming.

Are you sensing a concerning nexus between the concentration of military resources in D.C., and Trump's activation of the Nat. Guard to counter citizens in CA?
He loves his emergency “powers” and owns Congress. Is it such a leap for him to attempt to declare martial law while he’s best defended?

I keep thinking about Merz having to remind trump that the defeat of the Nazis was a Good thing, that the allies Liberated the Germans.

I hate having to wait for someone, Anyone to defeat these American Nazis.

If I knew how to do it myself, I would.

Meanwhile, I wait for our Liberation. 🗽

I just got done watching trump lie his ass off while entertaining Merz in the Whitehouse. Even at 1.5 speed, his voice is like fingernails being drug down a chalkboard. Merz didn’t speak much. But I think he did a decent job of representing truth & facts; a difficult task in trump’s Thunder Dome.

Hear, hear. Scott Galloway speaking truth to these two douchebags about what it means to be a man.

Spoiler alert: Elon Musk ain’t it.
“I think his legacy is not going to be an EV or putting rockets into space. I think it’s going to be unnecessary death, disease & disability.

That's not what it means to be an innovator, that's not what it means to be an American, that's not what it means to be a man"

Jesus, if maga Kennedy is kicking your ass…..🙄
This is pretty devastating. Lutnick admits that tariffs were never about reciprocity, eliminating foreign trade barriers, or negotiating better deals.

They just don't like international trade. Period.

He even says about imports: "we don't want other people making them."
KENNEDY: If Vietnam came to you and said, 'You win. We're gonna remove all tariffs and all trade barriers. Would the US please do the same?" Would you accept that deal?

LUTNICK: Absolutely not. That would be the silliest thing we could do

KENNEDY: What's the purpose of reciprocity then?
