I have a Phd in Celtic studies from the University of Glasgow, Scotland. Live and work in Iceland. A massive nerd. Love reading, baking-cooking, and watching films. I am absolutely hooked on Korean dramas and Hindi language films.

The craziest part about No Kings Day being the largest single day protest is that every prior mass protest in recent history happened during Trump except two, and those ones happened during Nixon and Reagan 😃😃

Don't erase History...
They erased us from the textbooks. I’m putting us back in the story.
They buried our truth and hoped we’d stay silent.
ERASED isn’t a book—it’s a weapon.
Read it before they ban it. Share it before they silence it.
Get your copy now.

I suspect this slogan would not have been tremendously popular:
"Trump 2024: Your kids are going to get fewer toys and the ones they do get will cost more"
"Trump 2024: Your kids are going to get fewer toys and the ones they do get will cost more"
Trump on China: "They made a trillion dollars with Biden selling us stuff. Much of it we don't need. Somebody said, 'oh, the shelves are gonna be open.' Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls, and maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more."

"The Defense Secretary is defenseless—you leak so much, you should be wearing Depends to work."
Hegseth desperately tries to justify his incompetence, but he is circling the drain and knows it.
Resign, Leaky-Pete!

this is just horrifying
Read the whole story. It is shocking and horrifying. The United States government grabbed a man outside of his apartment and within less than 48 hours vanished him from the face of the earth.
He is probably imprisoned in El Salvador. But no one knows! He wasn't on the flight manifest leaked by CBS.

A Venezuelan man has disappeared into the U.S. immigration system. His family is looking for answers.

"If you're healthy" it's almost impossible to die of an infectious disease? I suppose that's technically correct, however if you contract an infectious disease then you automatically stop being healthy and then you may die.
This is what those in the trade refer to as an "illness"

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

Economists think he’s certifiably crazy. Investors are freaked out.
The markets have decided they’re dealing with a madman…they’re less likely to react positively to his bullshit deal-making.

If I was a judge and a DOJ lawyer filed a brief saying "yes, we mistakenly shipped someone with a right to be here to a foreign gulag but you have no power to order us to bring him back" I'd put that lawyer in jail until that person was brought back.
