The United States is truly alone right now. They can't count on Russia because Russia is just using the U.S. as a puppet. Israel won't get involved outside their own borders. Who does that leave, El Salvador?

Where else except the Trump White House could you deliver on 7.5% of your promise and still call yourself a success? And there's little proof that he can even achieve that.

I love this meme so much, Christopher. As I'm sure you know, it took 3 tries to cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge. The first was Bloody Sunday. The second was led by Dr. King. When met with the same thugs, he prayed for them and turned back. The third time succeeded. We must try again!

Yep, it was a trap. And the damage to U.S. credibility is immeasurable and likely irrecoverable. The U.S. has shown itself to be worse than undependable, we are traitorous.

What a lame attempt. The common connotation of Nazi is a white nationalist who favors authoritarianism. Musk is most definitely one.

Wow, yeah that's a FAA violation to fly that close to buildings. And the regs apply to hot air balloons too.

Their opinion pieces are now garbage. The sooner we make the @washingtonpost.com irrelevant, the better. Stop posting links to their news, there are better sources.

When I saw the disgusting "trump Gaza" video this morning, the bile rose to my throat.

I won't share it. Instead, help me promote this counter narrative by Tala, from Gaza.

"Gaza is not yours to take. Gaza is ours, and we are still here. This is our land."

BRAVO to her strength and DEFIANCE. πŸ₯ΉπŸ’ͺ

Federal technology staffers resign rather than help Musk and DOGE Twenty-one civil service employees have resigned from billionaire Trump adviser Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, saying they're refusing to use their technical expertise to β€œdismantle ...

21 engineers have quit #DOGE in a mass resignation, writing β€œwe will not use our skills to jeopardize Americans’ sensitive data or dismantle critical public services.” They were part of the U.S. Digital Services team that DOGE absorbed. #USDS #Musk

A senior Pentagon official speaking to DefenseOne says Trump administration is shifting R&D away from high level research to focus on developing usable weapons such as killer robots. #military #defense #ai #robotics

@mcuban.bsky.social believes in the bright future of #AI, and he's super smart. But I think certain knowledge, if easy to obtain without necessary guardrails, will do harm. Example: Grok will let you FAFO with chemical weapons, merely warning "even small amounts can kill millions if mishandled."

Hit him hard. Emailing millions of people something so asinine while on a ketamine trip should have consequences.

In America, it is almost impossible to escape poverty if you were born into or fell into it.

You'll never get to the 2/3rds Senate vote needed to remove Trump so violent overthrow is the only way I see how this ends. Americans just have to decide how much pain and damage they are willing to put up with before they overthrow the government.
