Nazi logic

If I had a billion dollars, I’d give it all to the first journalist to say, “Quiet, Piggy” to Trump in a press conference when he starts just making stuff up or boasting about how great he is. #uspolitics #trump

I originally intended this to be a preliminary sketch for a larger piece. But after living with it for a few days I actually like it as is - scrappiness and everything #watercolor #watercolorsketch #watercolorpainting #watercolorcityscape #cityscape

I love the tonal contrast, something I struggle to achieve in watercolour!

Do Americans know that in many talk shows around the world the guests listen to one another, take turns & refrain from shouting over the top of each other?
I’m sure there are more civilised exchanges on some US opinion shows. I just haven’t seen them!

THE OVAL OFFICE LOOKS LIKE A PAWN SHOP!!

Simple question to supporters of the Trump regime: how does it make more sense to publicly fund the abduction, then the housing & feeding of immigrants in detention than to have them working & paying taxes in the community?

You wouldn’t vacation in Dachau in 1935. Don’t vacation in Florida in 2025.

This has always been the GOP's strategy:

1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.

2) Explode deficits

3) Use the debt as an excuse to demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.

4) Repeat.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

—Harry Truman, 1952

Macron: US strikes on Iran aren’t legal European leaders are walking a tightrope between condemning Tehran’s nuclear program while calling for restraint.

Well said Pres Macron

“There is no legality in these strikes, even if France supports the objective of preventing Iran from getting the nuclear bomb”

While there is “a legitimacy in neutralizing Iran’s nuclear structures,” the he said, the United States lacked “a legal framework” to do so

Yes, I’m sure that’s likely very true.
In some cases I wondered if it might put people in a better position to ask for identification and/or a warrant.

I rarely post personal things. But I need to talk about my 4-year-old niece, Hope.

She has a rare disease. A drug called elamipretide has helped her survive.

But the FDA recently denied its approval.

Now, her health hangs in the balance.

Please share her story & urge the FDA to reconsider. 🧵

We're getting very close to an *actual* WAR IS PEACE Fox news banner.

Can only make everything worse.

I watch these things from outside the USA & wonder what would be the reaction of law enforcement in the early stages of an ICE kidnapping if people called 911 & said ‘I’m at X location being threatened with abduction by multiple unidentified masked thugs & fear for my life’.

I’m guessing Bush.
*It’s in full sentences
*It doesn’t wander off into ‘strong warriors’ or ‘beautiful’ bombs.
*It uses the description ‘dangerous & aggressive’ not ‘nasty’ or ‘bad’
* It doesn’t use ‘I’ or ‘me’ or ‘my’.
* Makes no mention of a ‘deal’.

The United States never has enough money to keep people alive at home but always has enough money to kill people overseas.

US measles count now tops 1,200 cases, and Iowa announces an outbreak The U.S. is up to 1,214 confirmed measles cases this year. Iowa has its first outbreak. Other states with active outbreaks include Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, Georgia, Kansas, Montana, New Mexico, No...

The US measles count now tops 1200 cases & more states are announcing cases. Worse, the federal gov't is no longer promoting the benefits of vaccination & the CDC's vaccine advisory committee has been replaced with a panel of quacks👇

The US Congress is about to prove its relevance.

Setting all the other nightmarish stuff aside, a President just bypassed the Congress to deliver a unilateral and preemptive strike against another nation.

If they don’t impeach immediately, the institution of Congress is irrelevant forever more.

Just as Iraq had no WMD, Iran has no nuclear weapons.

America has entered another unnecessary war in the Middle East

Congress must impeach and remove Trump. Period.

Let’s make it happen! Tell Congress:

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

ICE impersonators on the rise: Arrests made as authorities issue national warning | CNN Authorities in three states have made arrests in connection with individuals impersonating Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers, as tensions rise amid a nationwide immigration crackdown.

Who could have predicted this? A bunch of assholes drunk on perceived power?
