The Ghost of Tom Joad

We’re being manipulated by the MSM and their social networks.

It will be a violent disaster for Mexico, but IMHO it had to be done. It's like treating cancer with chemo. Painful but necessary. Don't make deals with terrorists. It's like the US mobsters during prohibition. An unstable society.

The best option would be to legalize drugs to drain their income.

Charles Kushner - Wikipedia

France basically kicked out the US Ambassador.

He's the father of Jared Kushner. Another convicted felon on the Trump payroll:

Sometimes those who study history are ready to repeat it:

My latest: Susan Rice is right. Now Netflix must choose.

Support independent, pro-democracy media. subscribe to Democracy Docket now. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

As incompetent as they are, that is dwarfed by their corruption.

That’s my advice to any democracy: learn from our mistakes.

Fine tune campaign finance laws to avoid corruption. Transparency is essential.

Regulate social media companies. Algorithms matter.

Maintain the rule of law.

Good luck to Canada. Americans love our northern neighbors!

How about a law requiring the release? Similar to the Epstein files?

TROLLS + DATA + ALGORITHMS = CONTROL

Yeah, I am hopeful that we'll get more candidates like Bernie, AOC, and Warren. I think the GOP is painting themselves into a corner with all the NAZI pandering and ICE violence. Even the SAVE act won't save them.

This map says it all. Even without US help, Putin is doomed.

Well some of us are protesting and calling Washington. A lot of us are ready to confront or at least record ICE atrocities. But when the party in power is complicit with the crimes, it’s hard to get much done that’s really effective.

DJT is unhinged. This is even more insane:

Most of us are looking forward to the elections in 2026. After that we can down to brass tacts.

IMPEACH, CONVICT, REMOVE, IMPRISON

‘Don’t go to the US – not with Trump in charge’: the UK tourist with a valid visa detained by ICE for six weeks Karen Newton was in America on the trip of a lifetime when she was shackled, transported and held for weeks on end. With tourism to the US under increasing strain, she says, ‘If it can happen to me, i...

Keep this in mind too:

I'm so happy to see this. The will be no celebrations in Russia or any country that supports it.

Yeah, I could not get through the first minute with people like that, or Trump.

This is one of his actions that we won't be able to reverse.

You're probably right. Either that to all the billionaires that got tax cuts. They need somewhere to invest all that money they have laying around now. Trump is selling them the land to pay for the taxes we no longer collect.

Wow, wrong on so many levels.
Serious journalists rely on Twitter?
Everyone here is still on Twitter?
Bluesky is hostile?

The trees look magical!

Another tragic death at the hands of religious fanatics. Someday the world will be free from the barbarity and misogyny of our past.

Except in 1980 I was rooting for the Americans.

I think the only reason they haven't invoked the 25 amendment is that they're afraid of all the "2nd amendment folks". The cabinet and Congress are literally afraid of Trump's militias.

For anyone planning to fly in the future, better get to the airport EARLY! The lines are going to be terrible.

Way to go Virginia. And they also just joined the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact!

Well, he's just doing what Republicans do....

And quit kowtowing to the utility companies!

It’s almost guaranteed!
