The civil rights and anti war sentiment of that time collided with Ali.
I hope prominent personalities today see how this man was on the RIGHT side of history.
Legend.

Well, elections since Trump have swung left... so there's hope

Well, it started before that, because Obama is actually responding to Trump's birther conspiracy here....

We have been witnessing crazy shit, both in NZ and abroad. I've found myself so frustrated and the rich (relative to the average person) run down support for the poor because it's slowing down their wealth accumulation. And they use their wealth to influence media dialogue

I've been to the US twice & want to go back. Am weighing up various destinations for a trip later this year. But the US is off the table while Trump is president. Am hoping for midterms that lead to impeachment & conviction.... I cannot understand how the US electorate chose him over Kamala

What I don't get, is that I understood Russia was already sanctioned to oblivion.
Were they lifted? Were they never as bad as reported years ago?

This would never have happened had a bbq not been present. The NRA will take strong action to lobby government to regulate BBQs accordingly. As a community we can fight this scourge.
Thoughts and prayers.

It gets even worse I'm afraid to say:

Faaark, I'd love a reporter in the oval office to respond to Trump's "He's a gangster" comments with a question like "Should someone accused of treasonous crimes, like stealing top secret documents receive due process?"

I love the loud inhale "tell" he does while thinking up a lie on the spot. He did it when journalist pressed him on whether Xi was in touch with him.

Who gets fired for admitting this mistake?
April 19, 2025 at 10:44 AM
Luckily, in my case, I live in a normal country. But US citizens are in that boat!

He'll do well to survive impeachment and conviction after midterms. A lot of pissed off voters.....

It seems to me that there's growing angst within the US. Citizens will need to fight off oligarchy in order for the world to get the old US back
April 15, 2025 at 12:24 PM
I hear you.
Step 1, though, is for the universities to fight back. It appeared as if they were going to obey in advance before today. The US needs to fight this one out before international students will be free and safe in US universities. Democracy and academic independence need to win this

Trump doesn't seem particularly interested in working WITH friendly countries. The US is losing friends fast.

I was reading this exact post from @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social on Twitter. The top replies were pro trump. It reminded me to get off Twitter and find the same post here.
The US needs mainstream media to stand up to Trump. Put him back where he belongs.

Ted just woke from his coma to remember when trump called his wife ugly.
Unfortunately he's been in a super since 2016

The rest of the world needs to do exactly the same as China.
The US will be forced to change course if they are the only country on the planet who tarrif everything coming in and out, while everyone else is pretty much free trading.
The US will effectively be excluded from the world economy
April 4, 2025 at 6:48 PM
My hope is the rest of the world go a long way to substituting trade with each other that was formally with the US.
If something close to that takes place, it maximizes harm in the US while minimizing everywhere else.
This will force the US to change course
