"There has, of course, been wall-to-wall coverage since the shots rang out, but one thing that seems unexplored is how this all looks to the rest of the world. They see what could have been the best democracy on earth destroyed by madness, in a land where guns are everywhere and a callous elite media dons formalwear to toast its own humiliation by our narcissist king."

Mass Student Loan Discharge Notices Go Out To 170,000 Borrowers After Education Department Loss

Me:
Ie, a court order has forced Trump's #Education Dept to send 170,000 student loan borrowers notices that their federal #StudentLoans are eligible to be cancelled.
The development is the latest in the Sweet v. McMahon legal battle & a win for borrowers, all of whom have been waiting nearly 4 years for relief.

I would argue that this toot is less disrespectful to Easter Sunday than the weird sweary Islamophobic rant that the President of the United States just posted. #USpol #Trump

I left messages at all the offices of Rep. Elise Stefanik (R, NY), requesting she impeaches Trump for starting an unprovoked war in Iran & to stop arming Israel.
I post for accountability, to compound my emotional benefit, & let my online neighbors see that I care.

With Trump 2.0, you can tell which departments absolutely loath their leadership by the shear amount of snitching to the press.
That’s why Kash Patel is in his way out.
Lack of coverage of Pete Hegseth and Marco Rubio is showing what crimes their underlings are willing to commit.
That or all that’s left are true believers

White House Seeks $1.5 Trillion for #Defense in New #Budget Request
The huge proposed increase would be partly offset by steep #cuts to #DomesticPrograms, some of which the #Trump admin describes as wasteful [which means they’re likely crucial social welfare programs].

Eric Trump & Donald Trump Jr. are set to "benefit from a conflict started by their father."
The two have joined Powerus, a drone manufacturing company trying to sell drones to Gulf countries amid Iranian attacks.
"These countries are under enormous pressure to buy from the sons of the president so he will do what they want. This is going to be the first family of a president to make a lot of money off war".

The Guardian: US authorities arrest relatives of late Iranian military commander who were living in Los Angeles
"...US federal agents have arrested the niece and grandniece of the late Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani after the Trump administration’s top diplomat, Marco Rubio, revoked their lawful permanent resident status, officials said on Saturday....Officials allege that Soleimani Afshar celebrated military strikes against American personnel and praised Iran’s new supreme leader after the US and Israel killed his predecessor, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in a large-scale air attack at the beginning of the war. ..."

READ IT!

❝ I cannot tell you what to do, watching the US president and his horrific regime trying to plunge the world into flame and darkness. I can’t tell you because I have no idea either.
All I can tell you is this:
You have to know, with total and completely clarity, that nobody is coming to save us.
And knowing that, you will feel lost — but strangely clear.
And suddenly the work will be on you.❞
So the triple a-hole family #Trump think we cannot joke about them? 
They kill people on massive scales each day so fuck yeah we can joke about them
Fascist clowns 🇺🇸
Today's jobs report confirms that there has been a massive slowdown in job creation under Trump.
In the 17 months before Trump returned to office, the economy added 2 million jobs.
In the 17 months since he returned, the economy has added less than half that number of jobs.
Republicans should think long and hard about their personal criminal liability for refusing to remove a madman.
#Iran #TrumpMustGo #TrumpKillsAmerica #RepublicansDidThis #NoMoreRepublicans #USPol
I can say: “Trump, get out of the fucking White House”
Trump can’t say: “Open the fucking strait”
The major difference here being that I am just a random person on the internet, Trump is ‘President’ of the United States
