I have complained about both of my alma maters frequently so I want to share praise where praise is due.

I'm proud of Harvard for finding their backbone. It's a big deal because everyone else looks to them. And godspeed to them in fighting this shakedown bullshit from the Trump administration.

A photo of Palestinians celebrating is being shared in the wake of the Gaza ceasefire deal, with a caption that implies it is recent.

But it actually shows scenes following a ceasefire agreement in May 2021.

Looks like we weren’t the only ones who’d rather get a root canal than watch Trump lie about protecting the Constitution.

His second inauguration tanked at just 24.59M viewers—less than Biden’s 33.76M in 2021 and even his own 30.64M in 2017.

Team Trump will lie about this, so spread the word!

The plan was always to flood the zone with shit.

Not everyone can respond to every outrage. That's on purpose. But no need to get mad at someone for focusing on stuff *you* don't think is important. Let everyone focus on what they want to focus on.

The EU & Macron know- they see the writing on the wall that Trump is Putin's bitch; and w/ GOP now in control there's none to stop Trump from destroying NATO & all long-standing USA Trade & Military alliances - all for criminal felon Trump's genocidal, extortionist, murdering crime boss Vlad Putin.
Macron urges a new European military coalition as an alternative to NATO to help combat Russia and other threats. "We can't rely on (the US) or rest of the world."

The plan is to create a European army with France, UK, Italy, Poland, Baltic states and everyone who seeks to join.

1/ 🚨 Conspiracy theories about the 2024 election miss the bigger picture.

The truth? It wasn’t one night, one hack, or one fraud. It was a system rigged in plain sight – right in front of us. The playbook was out in the open for years. But hardly anyone paid attention.

Here’s how they did it... 🧵
