I do like that people are now going through all the pictures of Donald Trump out in public and playing Where's Waldo with Natalie Harp

Campaign: a golden, USA made phone
Production: yellow ish, China made phone with not even the correct number of stripes on it’s ’American’ flag
This tells the full #Trump story, always false promises, scamming and grifting wherever possible
Luckily thanks to the incredibly bad security on their website we know the actual order number is closer to 10K instead of the bullshit numbers they keep selling
Another day, another grift
So the #US military is now murdering first responders..
"A medevac crash in New Mexico that killed four is raising questions about the risks of military GPS jamming. MS NOW senior transportation reporter has more."
This is far worse than bulldozing the East Wing of the White House.

#RFKJr targets #Fauci & pushes #medical #misinformation in fiery CNN interview
In attempting to rewrite the history of the #US #Covid-19 response, “Health” Secy Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Sunday pinned the blame for pandemic lockdowns on Dr. Anthony Fauci, while simultaneously reviving a string of debunked assertions about #vaccines, #RSV & #measles.

"[Spiegelman] has no hesitation in describing the Trump administration as fascist. 'It’s #fascism,' he says. 'It’s not nazism, per se, but it has a template that it’s following. And it does have to do with othering, which is the basis of what Maus is about, it’s: ‘OK, you guys are mice, we’re cats.’ Maus is among the many books to be banned by various Republican school boards in recent years."

Congress is cheating the American people. When members of Congress enter a nursing home for things like Alzheimer's, (or can't perform their duties, go missing, like Mitch McConnell, etc) they should be removed so their district can have representation. We had a war with England over not having representation. #USPol

Imagine charging 100K per month for API access to your social media posts so people paying can make business decisions accordingly
That is exactly what the current "President" of the United States does or is gonna do
This "administration" is by FAR the most corrupt in US history, what an accomplishment..
Over 600(!!) days in and he still blames Biden
At least he is number 1 in something, worst and most corrupt President ever
Y'all, I managed a Gentleman's Club during the oil boom. I have have seen crazier shit than you can imagine. I have never seen anything as craycray as Natalie Harp.
“A screaming match in the lobby ensued, with Harp insisting that Trump had personally asked her to attend the court appearance.... Denied a seat but determined not to be left behind, Harp jumped into an SUV trunk...”
I have seen a mostly naked woman wearing 6'' heels chase a Mercedes while waving a champagne bottle menacingly...and it still wasn't as crazy as Natalie Harp jumping in a trunk to be near diaper daddy.
None of this is real. Reality doesn't exist. I'm pretty sure I'm in a coma and dreaming this. Or maybe this is all a prolonged trip and I'm gonna wake up and be in Austin in 1987 and I'll have a chance to stop all of this from happening. Cause y'all, this shit ain't right. I blame CERN.

' “The policies that we’ve seen entrenched and, frankly, worsened and become more dangerous and deadly under Donald Trump were really established by #Biden’s team,” says Ahmed, who says there is “bipartisan continuity” on #Israel - #Palestine between the two presidents.'

"Why are progressives winning primaries across America?"
Because people are voting for them. 👍🏻
That's how it works.
Keep it up.
So, the suspicion that the Tangerine Tyrant might declare a state of emergency to pre-empt a Republican beating in the US midterms seems to have moved from the margins (and expressions of the idea here in a more sensible register, of course) to the mainstream.
Given how polarised between the MAGA crowd & the rest, the US has become, the next step is for the prediction of a civil war to hit mainstream commentators.

Trump 2.0 has deleted or altered nearly 400 US datasets, endangering public health, education and more ~

Gary, Indiana is 77% percent Black.
Tens of thousands of people have been without power for nearly two weeks.
Many are without safe water as well.
Yet every data center is up and running.
Using enormous amounts of both power and water to enrich the billionaire owners.
This is what oligarchy looks like.
Everyone suffers so the 1% can make even more.

❝ The best time to have made #Canada digitally sovereign would have been before an American president announced his intention to annex Canada and began explicitly deploying America's tech companies to attack his geopolitical adversaries.
The second-best time is now.
By repealing Bill C-11 and legalizing reverse-engineering and modification of digital technology […] Canada will gain a devastating counter to Trump's tariffs. ❞

This morning the US leveled sanctions up on the operators of noblogs.org
The Trump administration makes the baseless claim that noblogs' team supports "violent terrorist" or are themselves terrorist.
Meanwhile the US officials also describe the team as notably "anti-militarist" all in the same breath.
The US says providing blogs to leftist is terrorism now.
