Donald Trump and the Wounds Behind the "Strongman"

Reconsidering a leader is not weakness. Changing course is not betrayal. Democracy depends on citizens reassessing when loyalty conflicts with conscience. @rob_okun #trump

Wow, 400 Lebanese just "died" somehow, at the same time as 2 IDF war criminals were "killed".

'Israel orders 400,000 to leave Lebanon amid clashes, causing new humanitarian crisis.

According to Lebanon’s health ministry, almost 400 people have been killed since the rocket salvo fired by pro-Iranian Hizbullah fighters towards Israel last Monday.

Muscat airport limits private jet flights as wealthy leave the Gulf The Oman base emerged as the de facto departure point for many repatriation flights by European governments, but it has also been a centre for private planes.

'Muscat airport limits private jet flights as wealthy leave the Gulf.

Muscat… has told private jet operators to avoid using the site for “additional flights”, giving priority to govt & commercial flights as fresh airspace closures hit attempts to increase travel.'

A blue-hued screenshot from a "Salty Girls" dance video in which protesters evoked the Morton Salt Girl with rainjackets and umbrellas as they creatively protested ICE at the Broadview Detention Center in Chicago, IL. Yellow line art figures of dancers create a layered image of the dancers.

This week's edition of Nonviolence News is packed with impressive #boycotts, a little good news, and a bunch of wildly #creative #nonviolent actions. Oh, and 4 million people #QuitGPT over killer robots.

#AbolishICE - it's a horror story from start to finish.

When even war crimes arent enough of a distraction!

Keep your eyes on this and keep getting loud. We have a right to protest (and a duty to resist) and fossil-fuel fascists won't stop us from defending Mother Earth and the future of humanity.

I thought this was AI, it's so appalling. It's not. It's an AP/Getty photographer ... and the videos in the article are just as horrifying. This war must be stopped - and US people must resist our administration's insanity and #warcrimes.

I recommend The Dandelion Insurrection as an excellent read for these times. @resisttrump.us has been great about introducing people to this novel. See what else they're reading.

"I've spent a decade #writing #anti-war #fiction for children and readers of all ages. It's the horrifying realities (like the #IranWar) that drive my conviction that it is immoral to glorify war in our books or movies. Heroes don't win wars. They stop them."

So many protests against this war across the country yesterday. ✊ #IranWar

Fascism is bad for your brand. The sooner Corporate America figures this out, the better for all of us. Until then, get loud.

Protestors gathered on the outskirts of Zorro Ranch for International Women's Day. ♀️

They brought flowers and called for justice for Epstein's unknown victims. (The FBI never raided the ranch, after telling the local police to back off).

Reporter: Can you give us an idea of what unconditional surrender looks like to you?

Trump: I said unconditional, not conditional. I said unconditional. It's where they cry uncle or when they can't fight any long longer and there's nobody around to cry uncle—that could happen too

Very sick man

"Historically, the most terrible things-war, genocide, and slavery-have resulted not from disobedience, but from obedience." —Howard Zinn

Facts: Despite being just 29% of the US population, WHITE MEN are ~58% of reported contact sex crime offenders (including incest & statutory rape), ~68% of sex offense arrestees, & 77% of child p*rn convictions.

Let’s deport all white men

Mark Rubio will try ash on his head The cult worshiping Trump "Iran is run by religious fanatics."

Army inviting ICE to Iran

If Trump wants boots on the ground in Iran, he should deploy the ICE agents. They've spent months in American cities strutting around like elite military forces. Let’s see how brave and courageous they really are. They can even wear their masks. Now is the time. #FreeIran #ICE

"I am Gen X. I think we need separate bathrooms for MAGA. I don't feel comfortable with them around women and children." ~ Trent Reznor Nine Inch Nails

If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far. Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again - Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them - But I hope, and pray, that it does not happen! This is a gift from the United States of America to China, and all of those Nations that heavily use the Hormuz Strait. Hopefully, it is a gesture that will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

War is not over as flip flop Trump goes on yet another unhinged rant after declaring the war over to ease the markets. Issue is if we commoners know he’s all bark and no bite( Epstein reference) then world leaders certainly are aware of his incompetence and weakness.

Our leaders should demonstrate their "seriousness" by building schools and hospitals here, not by blowing up schools and hospitals halfway around the world.

Good to see honesty in government.
Better would be to see empathy.
