Pres. Dumbass will fall for anything.
The country with the most sophisticated intelligence capabilities in the world, and the president is holding up
"a months-old blog post" from an obscure, conspiracy-mongering site "featuring a photo from the Democratic Republic of Congo" while making allegations against South Africa to its president

“Look, here's burial sites all over the place. These are all white farmers that are being buried,” Donald Trump said during today’s White House meeting with South Africa’s president.
The image he was holding up, however, is of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

It's the #TrumpCult doing its thing.
Personality cult authoritarianism
A giant banner of Trump is now ominously hanging at the front of the Dept. of Agriculture. It's not the kind of thing American presidents do. It's more in line with what you typically see in places like North Korea -- and it's the latest sign that America might be sliding into autocracy. #Velshi

In my column in the March issue of The Circle, I contemplate the Trump 2.0 scheme to buy #Greenland. Indigenous people comprise 90 percent of the territory’s population.

In my February column for The Circle, I wrote about Pres. Biden commuting AIM activist Leonard Peltier’s prison sentence. (Long ago, I interviewed Leonard at two federal lockups.) And a bit on the demented MFer who’s playing the role of US president, again. #LeonardPeltier #AmericanIndianMovement

The #FBI wanted Leonard to die in prison, but thanks to Pres. Joe Biden, along with thousands of supporters around the world, he will go home.
In one of his final acts as president, Joe Biden on Monday commuted the life sentence of Native American activist Leonard Peltier, whose case had become a rallying cry for the Indigenous movement in the nearly 50 years since his conviction for killing two FBI agents.

Historian of fascism here. It was a Nazi salute and a very belligerent one too.
The Nazis think this was a Nazi salute, but, hey, what would they know?

Let the lawsuits begin. A multi-pronged approach will be needed to fend off the imposition of a Christian nationalist dictatorship.
A lawsuit claiming billionaire Elon Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency” violates federal transparency rules was filed within minutes of President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration Monday, kicking off a legal battle over a key aspect of the incoming administration’s agenda.

Elmo is a menace to society.
In 1992, a young African immigrant arrived on our shores in search of a college education.
But he dropped out and, like many immigrants, worked illegally to survive.
Eventually, with government help, he became a billionaire.
And now he's President.
Anything is possible in the USA. 🇺🇸 🗽🇿🇦

This has been a big story in the Twin Cities. The murdered UnitedHealthcare CEO and his family lived in a #Minneapolis suburb.
Also, on Sunday afternoon, Mpls police found a body on a sidewalk near Powderhorn Park — a few blocks from my house. The 25-year-old woman had at least one gunshot wound.

Wild how little Luigi Mangione seems to have in common with the average shooter. Surfed, made friends, lived an idyllic life - then cut everyone off and disappeared. A reminder of how much we don't see in those around us, and how quickly our lives can change www.civilbeat.org/2024/12/luig...

Pres. Biden should commute Leonard Peltier’s prison sentence. He’s been locked up for the past 48 years. It’s enough.
