The budget bill contains tens of billions to fund an army of 10,000 more ICE agents. This is a red alert moment for our democracy.

It's incredible that neither the president nor VP was here. The politicization of all facets of American life is coming from the White House. No other American president would have failed to pay their respects. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

There was only one alpha-male in that Oval Office…

And he wasn’t wearing a suit.

…nor was he wearing eyeliner or fake tan.

So many women of color feminist theorists like Audre Lorde, Gloria Anzaldúa, bell hooks, among others, have written critical theory that is both accessible and requires multiple readings. The critical theory is there. It's been there.
Critical theory is notorious for this especially. I have never seen important ideas that should be widely spread locked behind absolute microsubject definitions and word salad that is completely inaccessible to pretty much anyone who doesn't spend a lot of time reading on the subject.

If a US military coup isn’t being planned now, it should strongly be considered.

Any psychologist or psychiatrist (or former abused spouse) will tell you that President Zelensky gave a master class today on how to deal with a malignant narcissist.

He is an amazing man. We can all learn from him.

That Oval Office debacle today solidified two things:

1. The US is not a trusted ally

2. Zelensky is a hero

Lemme get this straight…

Donald Trump didn’t get a ceasefire deal between Ukraine and Russia.

He clearly didn’t end the war.

He didn’t get Zelenskyy to sign a minerals deal.

He ended the peace talks and canceled a press conference.

And MAGA thinks he’s a brilliant negotiator?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Donald Trump is embarrassing the United States on the world stage. We are a country that stands up to dictators and fights for democracy.

It's been obvious since January 6 that he was an enemy of the USA, the UK & the whole of the free world. Everybody still in his camp understands this as completely as everybody against it. They just prioritise personal interest over the national & international. And they know it. They all know it.
