The psychiatrist who warned us that Donald Trump would unleash violence was absolutely right The vindication of Bandy Lee.

I don’t think it’s that he doesn’t know how to lie, it’s that he doesn’t feel the need to since the unsupreme court along with congress are in his pocket. They’re doing/have done nothing to stop him.

I want to point out that OpenAI donated $25 million to Trump for the midterms. If judges won't give the corporate death penalty we will do it ourselves by a massive boycott campaign. I urge everyone to cancel their Copilot, ChatGPT and Office 365 subscriptions or switch to the non-AI "classic" plan.

We have been a close and loyal friend of the United States for generations.
We have stood shoulder to shoulder in difficult times. We have taken responsibility for security in the North Atlantic - and not least for North America. That is what true friends do.
Precisely for that reason, the current and repeated rhetoric coming from the United States is entirely unacceptable.
When the President of the United States speaks of "needing Greenland" and links us to Venezuela and military intervention, it is not only wrong. It is disrespectful.

Our country is not an object in great-power rhetoric. We are a people. A country. A democracy. That must be respected β€” especially by close and loyal friends.
We are part of NATO, and we are fully aware of our country's strategic location. We also understand that our security depends on good friends and strong alliances. In that context, a respectful and loyal relationship with the United States is very important.
That has been the case for decades.
But alliances are built on trust. And trust requires respect.

Threats, pressure, and talk of annexation have no place between friends. That is not how one speaks to a people who have repeatedly demonstrated responsibility, stability, and loyalty.
Enough is enough.
No more pressure.
No more insinuations.
No more fantasies of annexation.
We are open to dialogue. We are open to conversations. But they must take place through the proper channels and in full respect of international law.
And the proper channels are not random and disrespectful posts on social media.
Greenland is our home and our territory. And it will remain so.

This week, every Senator will have the opportunity to vote for or against the use of military force against Venezuela.

I am voting AGAINST any war with Venezuela.

Congress must rein in this corrupt and dangerous President IMMEDIATELY.

This. Been calling things out since jump, have been a little bit on hiatus since dad passed recently & people thought now was a good time to play. Slimes. Joke’s on them, it’s not. Have used my pain effectively & efficiently. Some now remember what I’m like. We need to do this for the greater good.

I further put forward that we be allowed to be a little bit rude about it. look what the obsession with civility has gotten us. if a person is being hateful or saying something untrue, you should be allowed to get a little bitchy if you need to!

They poisoned a whole community. The EPA helped cover it up. After an industrial disaster happened in this small rural town, the EPA told residents it was safe to return home. According to an independent testing expert, it wasn’t.

We feature part of her remarks, along with poet Cornelius Eady, who performed his original poem β€œProof” during the inauguration ceremony, and Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, who began to cry as he addressed part of his speech to his younger self.

Not only is this outstanding, but it reminds me of an excellent bit by @pattonoswalt.bsky.social on the right’s strategically deploying certain language to advance discriminatory policies, and the need to look at the broader message being advanced: youtu.be/AkKo1_RP_0c?...

Mamdani: I have been told that this is the occasion to reset expectations, that I should use this opportunity to encourage the people of New York to ask for little and expect even less. I will do no such thing. The only expectation I seek to reset is that of small expectations.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.
The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

Very important ( as a American ÌtαΊΉΜ€fΓ‘) I'm glad to hear that from another diasporean.
People often make 'fun' of Black Americans for our perceived lack of roots but it's not just us. May she grow in her wisdom.
