Trump's best friends in the world are Saudi Arabia and Russia -- the nation where most of the 9/11 terrorists came from and the nation that wants to replicate that act of terrorism against the United States.
Meanwhile, he's angrily attacking NATO, an alliance that came to our aid after 9/11/

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.
It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

I rarely sound alarm - but please: do not believe what you hear or read from the legacy outlets.
For US news - these either serve the WH by definition or are intimidated to serve (always their decision though)
For global news - US media spreads pro-RU, anti-EU views under βAmerica Firstβ label.

US civic health rating downgraded after year of βrestrictiveβ Trump actions
Civicus, a non-profit that monitors global civic freedoms, moved the US from the βnarrowedβ to βobstructedβ category
"According to the group, an βobstructedβ ranking applies to countries where civic space is heavily contested. Civil society organizations still exist but state authorities undermine them including through illegal surveillance, bureaucratic harassment and demeaning public statements."

I'm sorry for your loss. I understand all too well, I lost both of my grandmas last year, one of whom wasnt actually my grandma, but she took us in as teen parents and made sure we didn't starve. It has been a hard year without them, but the memories we made, I cherish. ππ«

Donald Trumpβs bleak, incoherent foreign-policy strategy
Allies may panic; despots will cheer
Trumpβs worldview is one of winners and losers. Always has been. His new National Security Strategy picks Russia, China, authoritarians, his friends and his family as the winners. Do you know who Trump decided the losers are? You and your family and our safety.

In New Orleans and across U.S., anger over ICE raids sparks a 2nd American Revolution | Will Bunch
Everyday folks are rising up to resist immigration raids with whistles, car chases, and noisy protests. Revolution is in the air.
"I watched everyday folks protest on street corners, create βKnow Your Rightsβ pamphlets, and learn how to legally confront masked, armed law enforcement officers."

Opinion | Banning Abortion a Hallmark of Authoritarian Regimes
Seda Saluk writes about how U.S. policy on abortion rights has started to mirror patterns seen in authoritarian regimes around the world.
The U.S. is mirroring a pattern that has happened in authoritarian regimes around the world. When a government erects barriers to reproductive care, it doesnβt just cause death and suffering for women and their families. Such policies are often a first step in the gradual decline of democracies.

Feeling alarmed isnβt hysteria, itβs civic literacy.
Every democracy that slid into authoritarianism reached this stage: when partisan leaders in SCOTUS, Congress, and the Cabinet stop acting as checks and start acting as shields for the regime.
Weβre there.
