Trump sues US taxpayers for $10 billion, then decides whether US taxpayers have to pay him the $10 billion. I guess the billions he made overseas in the past year selling out America to his foreign business partners isn't enough.

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)
YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)

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.

Trump 2.0 is Infuriating and Deeply Exhaustingβ€Šβ€”β€ŠBut We Can’t Surrender How can Americans STILL not get how crazyβ€Šβ€”β€Šand dangerousβ€Šβ€”β€ŠTrump is?

Mind-blowing 🀯 The Venezuelan invasion & Maduro abduction was only 3 1/2 weeks ago! We are being assaulted daily by lawlessness & horror by the U.S. regime and we can't process it fast enough. That is the plan. They want us exhausted & despairing. medium.com/the-left-is-...

Carney still mulling β€˜Board of Peace’ seat despite Trump’s invitation to Putin - National | Globalnews.ca There are 'details' about Trump’s plans still to be worked out, Prime Minister Mark Carney’s office said, before Canada commits to 'next steps.'

If Canada participates in the "Board of Peace" corruption orgy, it will forever be a stain on us & those who approved the decision. Forever. #cdnpoli globalnews.ca/news/1161965...

Marc has warned about Trump's efforts to destroy democracy for almost 10 years now. He has been right every single time. He's right this time.

Hi Rachel - Please ask Avi if he read & understands the separation of powers clause in the Constitution, because Singh certainly didn't & a rent cap cannot be imposed by Ottawa. PS: Love your work. Keep it up!

Classic move from the Corrupt Dictator Playbook. Putin & his FSB cronies pulled this exact same fraud when they seized Yukos oil co. from jailed oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky.

Serious question Senator: How likely is it the top layer of the uniformed Pentagon will just refuse to do it? Would attacking an ally be considered an illegal order?

Danielle Smith colluded with Sam Mraiche to funnel cash through shady lawyers for dirty tricks, harassment & obstruction of justice.

It's essentially Watergate, but if Watergate was orchestrated by the dumbest people you could possibly imagine #ableg #abpoli

If you didn't think anyone could descend to the level of Donald Trump's classlessness today, here's Ezra Levant and Michael Coren from some years back gleefully toasting the death of Jack Layton.

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.

Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.

Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

Todd Snider was not just a legendary singer-songwriter but a beautiful human being. He had a lot more great songs to give to the world. Due to medical incompetence and/or greed, that won't happen. RIP Todd. stereogum.com/2479829/todd...
