Aristotle was right: Tyrannies are destroyed from within. Time to be all in for the democracy-to-come. Accept no substitutes. (Ocean swimmer, I mean serious distances.) I am CANADIANπŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

The United States is in the teeth of an asymmetrical civil war. Trump started it on #January6th.
He has ended the republic.

THIS WAS AN ACT OF WAR AND A VIOLATION OF INTERNATIONAL LAW.

But put that aside for a second…

What’s wild is that Marco Rubio isn’t even pretending anymore. He’s not hiding that the invasion of Venezuela is about oil.

This is going to end up a dumpster fire…

Opinion | Trump Revives Foreign Aid, Helping Needy Billionaires As children die for want of cheap medicines, the U.S. spends billions on Argentina β€” thus rescuing rich investors who made bad bets.

In Opinion

β€œThe United States is cutting off the kind of foreign aid that keeps children alive for 12 cents a day, but it’s willing to invest far larger sums in a dubious effort to prop up a distant economy β€” while effectively subsidizing tycoons who made bad investments,” Nicholas Kristof writes.
