“Owning” a monkey means taking them away from their family and everything that’s natural to them.
Stop exploiting them, Madeline & Méline, monkeys belong in the wild, not in your videos! #InternationalPrimateDay

Trump claims to have ended 7 wars.
It was 4, 6, now 7, will soon be 10. How long before he claims to have ended the Second World War, Vietnam and Korean wars.
He bombed Iran; wants to annexe Canada, Gaza, Greenland, Panama and has unleashed army on his own citizens.

Garcia: What we got was complete bullshit. We demanded the full Epstein files, and that’s not what was sent over. The White House cover-up clearly continues. What they sent us was 33,000 pages of documents that have already been in the public domain.

There are about 3000 belugas that congregate every year at the mouth of the Churchill river where it empties into Hudson Bay. It’s always such a treat to see them, especially on such a beautiful day. 🌿🦊🐳

If a president wanted to become effectively a dictator, he’d likely:
1. Purge govt of non loyalists
2. Weaponize law against opponents
3. Use military to police opposition strongholds
4. Threaten media, schools, businesses w penalties to get them to heel
5. Change election rules in his favor.

He’s wanted to declare martial law from day one.
Bypass all checks and rule as a tyrant.
Many have speculated how he’d do it.
Now his gambit is clear.
DC was a test.
He’s using manufactured crime stats to send troops into blue states & cities.
This is not a drill.

One of the things about having done human rights work is that you know in deep detail, individualized detail, the unspeakable things that human beings can do to each other, as a part of the job.
There is good reason to be afraid right now. It can get so much worse and it’s already awful.
