‘Completely lost his mind’: Trump's 'deranged' letter
“Whatever people's views on Trump's broader politics, these are the words of a man who is having some sort of serious mental breakdown,” wrote Dan Hodges, a British columnist and political commentator...
“This is plainly deranged,” wrote British writer and former lawmaker Daniel Hannan in a social media post... "The Nixon, Clinton and, indeed, Trump impeachments were triggered by less.”

100% this. It is a concentration camp. This administration has opened a concentration camp. Just like Nazi Germany did. And they plan on opening more concentration camps.
Black Panthers are organizing, and speaking out, again. Here's one of their videos. They have a lot of wisdom younger people are writing off, calling them sell outs, etc. I trust them over you all, frankly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7MEUt03a6A&pp=2AYC #Politics

Ah, simpler times, when the world's demise was orchestrated by competent people through clever conspiracies.
Wait, this is fiction, it was always a bunch of ridiculous, very public bros, concerned only with making the line go up. It was in plain sight all along.

Even #trump knows how badly he messed up.
He had a press conference, answered ONE QUESTION then buckled under the pressure of the questions being asked, all of them bad, and ran away.
Then he flew to Maro Lago and is GOLFING after destroying our #stockmarket after saying EVERYTHING'S FINE!
Reminds me of the meme of the dog in the burning house saying the same. Except it's real, the house is the #usa and it isn't funny.

Journalist: "Of the 35,000 lies you've told the American Public Mr President, which is your favorite?"
AgentOrange: "I don't lie."
Journalist: "Yeah, that's my favorite, too."

"Little Brother" von Cory Doctorow ( @pluralistic ) handelt davon, wie schnell die eigene Heimat zum Feindstaat werden kann, wenn die Freiheit der Sicherheit untergeordnet wird. Und davon wie schnell die Technik, die uns ermächtigt und vernetzt, zum Mittel der Überwachung und Unterdrückung werden kann. Dabei macht Doctorow Mut mit den Mitteln der Technik für die Demokratie zu kämpfen. #bücherwabe #chemnitz #bücher #literatur #lesen #books #literature #bookstodon #scifi #politik #politics
African-Americans have always knew the harsh truths about Western society this entire time, dating as far back as the slavery era. Yet white people and even non-black POC constantly silence us for speaking those truths. They are very likely to be terrified of those truths whether they realize it or not, because acknowledging them would heavily challenge their worldview and ego, their sense of 'self' or 'status' in this world.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing the Department of Justice to pause enforcing a nearly half-century-old law that prohibits U.S. companies and foreign firms from bribing officials of foreign governments to obtain or retain business.

Trump is a disaster. No question about that. But our troubles did not begin with him.
Corporate Democrats are just as eager to sell us out and destroy everything for the sake of Business As Usual, Wall Street, and Big Oil.
Listen to the clip below from an interview Barack Obama gave last year.
He says climate change might be a problem, but we can handle it. Although there's no way now to keep global warming below 2°C, that shouldn’t be so bad. And if we work hard, we might be able to stay at around 3°C … but the important thing is, stop worrying! Don't complain about the system. Everything is under control.
This is absolutely criminal. That much extra heat will destroy modern civilization. Billions of people will die, along with millions of species of plants and animals going extinct. The world as we know it will end.
There still *could* be a way to prevent all that. But it requires system change. The end of capitalism. It requires #Degrowth.
And no one in a position of power wants to hear that.

I feel really bad for the 75m Americans that voted for Harris, that you got stuck with a President that continuously gets compared intellectually and emotionally to an unruly toddler
There's been a huge wave of Canadian patriotism lately, but we're here for those 75m of you (not the 77m who voted for trump, or the 90m who just didn't vote)
So when we say "Buy Canadian" and "F America", we don't mean you 75m. We still love you. But we're still pissed

Iran is pushing to focus squarely on its nuclear program during talks with the United States set for Friday in Oman, while Washington's demands go beyond that. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/02/06/world/politics/iran-us-talks-thorny-issues/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #us #iran #middleeast #uranium #nuclearweapons #donaldtrump
