Mary Trump: “For Donald, there is one reason and one reason alone. He's in trouble, and he knows it. This isn't simply about changing the subject. That, of course, would be bad enough. This is to keep himself and the world from knowing what an inept, depraved, compromised fraud he is."
Can I just say: As weary as you may feel, do not turn away from the degradation and desecrations, the violations and the violence. This is what the lawless Trump regime hopes--that our fatigue will make it easier for them to consolidate their power.

Your scarf is beautiful. Never stop buying beautiful wool. I bought two skeins of alpaca, merino cashmere blend 40 years ago and finally found a use for them together in an infinity scarf. The wool is so soft and very snuggly. I don’t remember why I bought it but I do remember it was $20 per skein.
This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.
It's difficult to end a war if you don't know why you started it in the first place.
The President of the United States is a pedophile, and the military has no problem with double-tapping a school in Iran, killing mostly children. If this isn't an indictment of the moral nihilism of this era, I don't know what the fuck is.
“In this moment, it’s important to soberly recognize what we are up against. Trump is not interested in our safety. On the contrary, he is more than willing to exploit a terrorist attack at home to further consolidate his power.”

‘Muscle Brain’ literally obscures sight.
Not protective. Just limiting. Not shielding vulnerability. Just preventing clarity.
‘Muscle’… not as armor.
But as blindfold.
What happens when stubborn clinging to illusions of brute force there’s nothing but override vision

Mark Carney speaking at a podium with a red "MARK CARNEY" sign in front. He is gesturing while delivering a speech in a room decorated with a large Canadian flag and a "WELCOME TO CALGARY" sign held by supporters.
Two people at a Carney event event smile while holding a red sign that reads "Carney for Canada" featuring the Liberal Party of Canada logo.
A medium shot of Mark Carney speaking at a podium in front of a large blue suspension bridge. A red sign on the podium reads "PROTECTING WORKERS / PROTÉGER LES TRAVAILLEURS" in English and French.
Mark Carney walking in a pride parade, smiling while waving to a crowd. He is surrounded by people holding rainbow "Liberal" fans and wearing colorful clothing in a celebratory atmosphere.
One year ago today, Common Sense Carney won the Liberal leadership race with a historic 85.9% of the vote. Since then, his approach has united Canada against global uncertainty.
From Davos to India, Prime Minister Carney's serious leadership is respected worldwide! 🇨🇦 #CanadaStrong
Ontario Cannot Afford Doug Ford ·

In Canada, there are 3 levels of government: Federal, provincial/territorial, & municipal. Each level has distinct responsibilities and operates within its own sphere of authority. Can't afford food? Blame Doug Ford. #DougFord #ontario #canada 🇨🇦
Trump has never wavered in his threats against Canada. What we learn from Ukraine is that the undermining of sovereignty, psychological psyops, supporting Donbas-style separatists is the playbook to take down a nation.

Trump openly lies about the bombed girls school. As Americans we make mistakes in war but they are unintentional and we own them.
Trump blaming Iran is no different than what Putin does when he blames Ukraine for attacks Russia clearly does.
We’ve become accepting of pure lies
This week, Israel has killed 394 Lebanese, including 94 children and 42 women, and wounded 1300 including 254 children and 274 women.

I realize…and I’ll never get over the hate and lies…
It was a US strike that killed 165 schoolgirls. Mostly aged 7-12.
While it was likely unintentional, the decision to strike a military target in a densely populated civilian area was not.
Yes, difficult decisions have to be made in war.
I don’t trust this bloodthirsty regime to make good ones.
New in PN: The bombing of Iranian children is an unforgivable crime
"American disinterest in the lives of people abroad is a resource politicians use to justify cynical wars. It's hard to see on what moral grounds we claim a right to decide the fate of those about whom we clearly care so little."
Flash back to the first Gulf war. No one should be living this.
Fact: The United States is losing in Iran, and Donald Trump and his goons don’t know how to get out of it. On top of that, Trump himself is suffering from advancing dementia. What is Congressional Republicans’ breaking point? The lights are flashing red.
Much different than Dire Straits but beautiful. Needed this for our Sunday morning...

TAPPER: You know that if you vote against an additional $50 billion of funding for operations in Iran, that vote will be cast as you voting against the troops.
CHRIS MURPHY: Come on. The American people do not want this war. If you support the troops, you should be voting against this war.
Disabled people tried to warn you.
We said the “better off dead” narrative being weaponized against us would be used for other groups of people.
The fascists won’t ever stop. They see everyone else as less than. Expendable. Not worthy of life.
Its eugenics on a massive scale
In a scathing review, the top US medical journal's editorial board warned that the "destruction that Kennedy has wrought in 1 in office might take generations to repair."

Great speaking with @mattgalloway.bsky.social on CBC about issue
🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: Over the past week, Russia has attacked our country thousands of times – the enemy used nearly 1,750 attack drones, 1,530 guided aerial bombs, and 39 missiles against our people.
Well then wtf😡
