The rest of the world doesn’t think Trump is making America great, and we’re paying the price.

📌 Fewer travelers are coming to the U.S.

Can’t imagine why.
Masked ICE agents, mass shootings, a president who slaps tariffs on Canada, lying that it’s about fentanyl when it’s really about control.

We're within 3 years of reaching a critical climate threshold. Can we reverse course?
A report published in June found that the world only has three years before it crosses the 1.5 C climate target. So what should we do now?

👇If a local doesn't, I will bring up the blatant abuse of the law they just added by lifting flaring limits. For a regulator that is supposed to preserve resource to the greatest degree, they are now abusing their primary job function: www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

D legislators have pretty clearly been afraid to confront trump because they worry he's popular. mass demonstrations are important to change perceptions there.

“Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.” @thebulwark.com

The Trump administration’s embrace of nativism is as shameful as it is self-destructive.

Let’s be clear: Israel, an occupier, has no authority under international law to board or divert the Madleen.

This is a hijacking, plain and simple. A hijacking of a UK-registered ship, with multiple *European* citizens on board.

Does the EU or UK government have anything to say? Anything??

Trump telling a reporter:

'We're going to have troops everywhere'

Adding, 'they spit, we hit'

This thug is militarizing California over spitting.
