The only way to make a deal with Trump is to create the largest and most powerful counter-force possible

A president and his lackeys who are unchecked by law will not be bound by any agreement or contract when they think they can get a better deal by breaking it.

There's only one way to actually make a deal with Trump. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-only-way-to-make-a-deal-with

Gaza se muere de inanición: “¿Por qué nos están matando de hambre?” El bloqueo israelí empuja a más de dos millones de personas a sobrevivir sin apenas alimentos. Más de 100 organizaciones denuncian una catástrofe humanitaria provocada deliberadamente

The Trump Administration Is About to Incinerate 500 Tons of Emergency Food Federal workers warned for months that the high-energy biscuits would go to waste.

"Five months into its unprecedented dismantling of foreign-aid programs, the Trump administration has given the order to incinerate food instead of sending it to people who need it"

Tweet from People For the American Way contrasts Trump aiding the return of a man charged with rape and trafficking with his inaction on a working-class father of three not charged with a crime. Below the text are photos of Andrew Tate giving a thumbs-up and a Kilmar Abrego Garcia wearing a backwards cap.

And if they had the power to spring Tate out of Romania, they have the power to spring Abrego García out of El Salvador.

They don’t care.

They don’t care that the Supreme Court ruled 9-0 to bring an innocent man home to his family.

They don’t care.

They think it’s funny.

Trump is refusing to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the US despite a Supreme Court ruling ordering him to do so.

This is a constitutional crisis.

How can it not meet the threshold for articles of impeachment?

Trump Is Showing Why Dictatorships Fail The authors of the Constitution separated powers for a reason.

"This is what arbitrary, absolute power looks like. And this is why the men who wrote the Constitution never wanted anyone to have it"

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

Reality check.

A revolta dos vinhos brancos: “os grandes brancos de que o país se pode orgulhar hoje não são uma herança direta do passado”

O país era, até aos anos 90, um triste país de tintos. Triste porque estávamos a desleixar as nossas grandes virtudes, que eram o bom clima, as boas castas para alegrar as mesas e os solos muito capazes para fazer brancos

Gisèle Pelicot stood with her head held high in a courtroom in Avignon, France, on Thursday as the verdicts in the four-month rape trial of her ex-husband and 50 other men were read. Her image has become a symbol of female strength around the world, our critic writes.
