Thousands protest #Trump administration, #Musk, #Project2025 policies in cities across the US
“A movement to protest the early actions of Trump’s administration took off Wednesday, as thousands of demonstrators gathered outside a federal courthouse in Philadelphia and at state capitols in Michigan, Texas, Wisconsin and Indiana. “
“ #Trump said the US would stop sending aid to #SouthAfrica over its land expropriation policies, sparking a selloff in the rand.
“The US won’t stand for it, we will act,” Trump said in a Sunday evening post on Truth Social. “Also, I will be cutting off all future funding to South Africa until a full investigation of this situation has been completed!”
"Despite their constant reassurances to the contrary, Republicans have officially begun the process of cutting Medicaid and SNAP benefits to offset the cost of tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires. And right on cue, Republicans are playing dumb."

“Canadians boycott travel to US because of #Trump.
The rhetoric about tariffs, the mockery of our prime minister and the musing about us becoming the 51st state, that did it for all of us,” Dale told CNN Travel. “Everyone was in agreement that we’re not going. We’re going to keep our money in our own country.” #Canada

The Trump administration’s decision to delete a DOJ database of cases against Capitol riot defendants places those who seek to preserve the historical record in direct opposition to their own government.
“ #Trump on Thursday will sign an executive order sanctioning the International Criminal Court, accusing the body of improperly targeting the United States and #Israel
The order will include both financial sanctions and visa restrictions against unspecified ICC officials and their family members found to have assisted in ICC investigations of U.S. citizens or allies”

"Epstein told [Michael] Wolff that in 2004, he thought he was buying a $36 million mansion in Palm Beach. He even brought along his best buddy Donald Trump to show it off (by the way, this is four years after Trump’s claims that he cut ties with Epstein over him 'stealing' Virginia Giuffre). But Trump, in classic snake fashion, went behind Epstein’s back and bought the property for $40 million."

President Donald #Trump is a giant piece of shit. What a fucking god-awful cringe worthy fucking spectacle he made of siding with Putin siding with authoritarianism and abandoning allies while meeting with #Zelensky. He will do everlasting damage to this country. What a fucking moron goddamn this motherfucker is the absolute worst fucking piece of trash to ever hold office in this fucking country. It sickens me. Donald Trump is a #traitor to the United States and an ally of Putin.
“Fed workers associations filed suit late Thur asking a fed court to stop #Trump admin’s “effective dismantling” of lead US aid agency.

The blitz of Trump's immigration executive orders has continued, so fast and sweeping that it’s been hard to keep up, much less gauge their potential impact.
ProPublica and The Texas Tribune explain the most consequential changes he made on Day 1.

So Trump's just playing us with his ethnic-cleansing talk about Gaza, trying to distract us from Musk's rampage through the government — right? Some people (looking at you, NYT) are proposing this.
But Omar Baddar reminds us of why we have to take what Trump has said about Gaza deadly seriously:
"Trump does not see Palestinians as human beings. He thinks they can be moved around like cattle."

As #ElonMusk became one of #Trump’s closest allies last year, leading raucous rallies & donating about $275M to help him win the presidency, he was also using #drugs far more intensely than previously known [tho pretty obvious to the casual observer], acc/to people familiar w/his activities.

More proof this is entirely unnecessary & serves #Trump’s interests alone.
• Distract you from his many other #illegal activities, his ineffectuality geopolitically, & his tanking of the #economy.
• Finally achieving his long coveted goal of creating an #authoritarian #MilitaryState in which no one is allowed to criticize him or even say they don’t like him.
