Like it or not, what Trump says or does while US president represents you as a whole, an entire country, an entire people, whether you voted for him or not, protest him or not, he is your legal and international face, and YES that should piss you the fuck off. It is possible for you to be angrier.

African American history is American history. Trump’s decision harms us all.
The Donald Trump administration has removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks.
They will be replaced with Donald Trump’s birthday.

If refusing to comment is enough to kill a story, then the government now has veto power over journalism.
That’s what CBS normalized last night — and it should scare everyone.

CBS Pulled a “60 Minutes” Story Because the White House Refused to Comment — That’s a Veto on Journalism
Pulling a finished investigation because the administration refused to comment isn’t journalism. It’s submission.

Your congress has the Epstein files, your senate has the Epstein files, the DOJ is being forced to release them the same way a criminal would be allowed to carry their own rope. The files are there already, the victims are there too, the legal process does exist. So what is everyone missing here?

The Trump administration has bulldozed past Congress’ appropriations power as it reorganizes the federal government.
One example? Shuttering the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force.

Free markets / unregulated capitalism?
This is a free-for-all for big money, corporations, and amoral profiteers. It is an open door to government corruption, inequality, and the downfall of democracy. I'm looking for social democrats ( not the same as democratic socialists ).

3. United States plan proposes allowing US financial institutions access to roughly 200 billion dollars in frozen Russian assets, these would then be laundered to Trump linked companies which would be positioned to take major reconstruction and development projects in Ukraine.

We must make ourselves and our alliance stronger than the US, Russia, and China simultaneously. It will not be an easy task nor will it be an impossible task. The future of Democracy and the rule of law rest squarely on our shoulders and how we respond in the face of this multipolar triad of evil.

I've always assumed that Trump doesn't care about corruption.
To him, it's not a crime.
It's his business model.

Trump is the most corrupt president in US history, so it’s not exactly a surprise that Trump doesn’t seem to think political corruption is a problem—or that politicians who abuse the public trust should face real consequences.

Israel has officially come out in support of Russia. Netanyahu brags about being in daily communication and coordination with Putin. Israel is also invested in attacking the EU due to Europe still upholding international law and the ICC.

Republicans like to tell us they can’t deliver the policies that would improve life for the working class because we “just don’t have the funds.”
They’re lying.
They’re lying.
Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.
