U.S. Flips History by Casting Europe—Not Russia—as Villain in New Security Policy An annual strategy document, which has described threats from China to Russia, directs some of its harshest language at NATO allies.

Still think Trump/Russia is a “hoax”?

Every bit of it worsened by Trump. Extremist Republicans continued to elect ever more far right extremist politicians & judges. By Trump's era their primary qualifications appear to be lawless power-mongering, insatiable greed, racism, misogyny, bigotry, & religious zealotry.

Twin Cities religious leaders unite to support Somali community and condemn Trump attacks Religious leaders from churches, Jewish temples and mosques from across the state opposed remarks from President Donald Trump that included calling Somalis “garbage.”

“No human being is garbage, Mr. President, and shame on you for saying so,” said the Lutheran pastor.“In the name of Jesus, I rebuke those hateful words.The Somali community in Minnesota are our neighbors, brothers and sisters, children of God, fellow Americans.”

I think we should say we are done with billionaires and tax the heck out of them. I don’t want network states, I don’t want constant AI monitoring, I’m sick of being a product for others to make money on, but our schools being underfunded and our services being cut because the rich are too greedy.

Tech fascists believe they are going to merge with AI, live forever and colonize the universe as a species of self-replicating machines that eat the energy of the stars.

We can think big, too. Anything is possible. Don't let billionaires monopolize the power of radical imagination.

Sen. Mark Kelly: “He’s trying to silence me, but he’s not silencing me. I will do my job every single day whether this president wants to kill me, hang me, execute me, or shut me up. I’m not going to shut up.”

Neither are we, sir!

‘A sad, cruel moment’: 58 Florida children leaving US amid parent deportations “The only losers are the children.”

"The small figures huddled together at Miami's airport carried backpacks, stuffed animals and suitcases. One wore a silver cross necklace. Families of the travelers – ages 3 to 15 – have been torn apart this year by Trump's deportation campaign..."

CDC advisory panel rolls back universal hepatitis B vaccine recommendation The change upends decades of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance and goes against widespread public health consensus.

Remember: RFK Jr. fired his last CDC director because she refused to ram through his anti-vax agenda.

Yesterday, RFK Jr.’s handpicked vaccine skeptics threw out DECADES of settled science — and Donald Trump gave a thumbs-up.

This will hurt American kids and families.

Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night.

Any one of us could be on the next boat that Trump bombs on a whim.

Any one of us could be detained for hours despite being a U.S. citizen.

Authoritarianism hurts all of us.

Duckworth: "It is a war crime. It's illegal. No matter how you put it, it's all illegal. I've been shot down behind enemy lines. Under the laws of war, you are supposed to help render aid to that individual ... you're not allowed to go back in and kill them."

Supreme Court to decide if Trump can limit the constitutional right to citizenship at birth The Trump administration is seeking to roll back the historical understanding that birthright citizenship extends to almost anyone born in the United States.

I just can't understand the hatred that flows through this administration.
I just don't have the vocabulary to describe the lack of humanity that runs through them.

Morning to all y’all who see the total scam that is Trump’s regime.

Can anyone explain blowing up boats vs pardoning the Cocaine Kingpin? WTAF is going on?
