The chickens are enjoying the brighter days. Also all of the cabbage they've been getting

It takes real galaxy brains to mass cancel solar and wind projects and then start a pointless unpopular war that sends oil prices soaring.

Trump knows damn well he straight up lost the 2020 election. But he perpetuates the lie and exacts revenge because he’s enraged it even happened. And, most importantly, he hates the American people for doing it to him.

Question πŸ™‹β€β™€οΈ I’m going to be painting more American birds.

So far I have:
- Cardinals (male & female)
- Carolina Wren
- Dark-eyed junco
- Bald Eagle (nearly finished)

What other American birds would you like to see captured in watercolours?

This is Albie. He was so touched by his family singing happy birthday in his native language that he didn't notice the cupcakes with his face on them. 13/10 hbd Albie #SeniorPupSaturday (TT: _sallyv)

Trump's Middle East strategy is more likely to result in regime change in America than in Iran.

What the real heads of America should look like! I miss the knowledge, courage, compassion, strength, determination & sanity of the amazing people sitting in this row honoring a man that stood with them for America & Americans. Look at these people then look at the freak sitting in power now.

WATCH: β€œAn extraordinary betrayal of the American people.”

@krystalball.bsky.social lays out how Stephen Miller & Trump blatantly lied about being anti-war and said Kamala would do exactly what they’re doing now.

The Supreme Court has effectively sentenced more innocent people to be disappeared into Bukele's torture dungeon. Disgraceful capitulation to fascism.

There's something weird happening where The Discourse about the tariffs is about how Trump is trying to return us to 1950's and 1960's, the manufacturing heyday of America, but he's not! He' been very very explicit about this. He wants to return us to the 1890's. That's a different project!

Centrists have caused a profound shift among the base of the Dem party through their cowardice in the face of Trump’s authoritarianism. In January Gallup found a plurality of Dems wanted the party to be more moderate, a new poll finds that the majority now want the party to be more progressive.

Europe, a social-democratic power To assert itself on the world stage, Europe first has to take pride in what it has become since 1945: a democratic, social and transnational power. European countries, which had long been fierce ri…

To win the cultural and intellectual battle, Europe must now assert its values and defend its model of development, fundamentally opposed to the nationalist-extractivist model of Trump and Putin

Skin Tone Penalties: Quasi-Experimental Evidence on Colorism in Football - WID - World Inequality Database This paper studies skin tone discrimination in men’s professional football by comparing shots that narrowly score with those that narrowly miss the goal.

πŸ“New research by @billywoom.bsky.social and @doniakamel.bsky.social uncovers how skin tone shapes player recognition in professional #football β€” even when performance is identical⚽️

These biases translate into lower market valuations for darker-skinned players.

The new official definitions of anti-semitism which seek to criminalize Israel criticism, this admin’s authoritarian tactics, and AI fueled surveillance via Palantir, will be marshaled to crush dissent in ways that were impossible in 2003.

Everything trump does is projection. Blames other people for things he himself plans to do. How do people not see this? He’s done it his entire life just like being a rapist abuser of women. Even when he admitted the truth to Billy Bush, people are so stupid they think he’s just being funny.

If so, the convicted felon of the US will be the last president. After this amendment he WILL add another amendment saying a member of his family can step in when he can no longer serve for any reason. There will be nothing left of America or the world if this happens. This has to be stopped FFS.

All he needs is for nobody to hold him accountable and he does whatever he wants. How many things has he already done that he β€œcan’t” do? Like extrajudicial executions and starting a war? The constitution fell the moment an insurrectionist became president.

no. I do not support trump being the president right now-he is illegitimate because of his criminal backgrounds or in the future. He needs to be removed. He is now also unfit due to dementia & mental illness & undisclosed physical illnesses which have him dozing during conferences, meetings.

There is a reason for the 22nd Amendment and to override or rescind it for Trump would be the biggest mistake since accepting the 2024 election results.
He did damage in his first term. He is decimating America in his second and we are only 14 months into 4 years.
He needs to be stopped now.

He can't amend the Constitution. That requires a 2/3 vote by both Houses of Congress to propose an amendment and ratification by 3/4 of the states. Besides he is in poor health. Think about it.

I’ve been waiting and expecting this so here it comes!! In some respects I’ll be surprised if this moron makes it 3 more years. The bigger question is can America and its citizens make it?

07.03.2026 07:52 β€” πŸ‘ 867    πŸ” 338    πŸ’¬ 442    πŸ“Œ 88

No one thinks he can stay in office but you know what? NO ONE IS STOPPING HIM FROM DOING ANYTHING HE WANTS! If no one stops him he will run in 28. Reality: who’s going to tell him no? Congress will back him and probably SCOTUS will too. That’s our reality right here.

Iran’s president said Saturday that his country will refrain from attacking neighboring states unless attacks are launched against Iran from their territory, state-run Press TV reported.
