For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:
Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down
Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace
Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs
Folks, we’ve seen this all before.
And the current production capacity is just 6 to 7 Patriot missiles per month…
So powerful words …
I don’t think so. He is narcissistic lunatic living in a different universe. I am afraid he actually believes what he is saying. Also, who would dare to tell him the truth? That is one parallel with Putin.
Now, was he a prophet? 😁

oops. White nationalism is a helluva drug.
Leaders of the so-called “pro-life, small government” party who relentlessly warn of tyranny are standing by as masked agents roam the country and brutalize its people. The hypocrisy isn’t surprising — but it’s staggering. Remember this.

Stephen Miller is directly responsible for the deaths, violence, and chaos from Trump Administration's lawless, violent rampage across America.
He must be fired and held accountable.
I checked it and it’s true in its way. But there are also many other reasons for boycotting Amazon.
WASHINGTON - Following the killing of AFGE Member Alex Pretti and the subsequent slanderous rhetoric that followed from top Trump administration officials, AFGE National President Everett Kelley issued the following statement: "Yesterday, AFGE brought together labor and faith leaders from Minneapolis and across the nation to mourn our fallen brother from Local 3669, Alex Pretti. We honored his life and legacy and lifted up his family, his friends, his union, Minneapolis, and our nation in prayer. "Today, we demand accountability. "In the immediate aftermath of Alex's killing, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem betrayed the public trust by slandering the good name of our union brother and calling him a "domestic terrorist." Alex Pretti was a patriotic ICU nurse at a VA hospital who devoted his life to serving America's veterans. That claim was reckless, defamatory, and unsupported by the facts. Noem was preceded in this false statement by Stephen Miller, Deputy White House Chief of Staff, who is also the architect of the chaotic and failed immigration policy in Minnesota. "Our demand is clear: Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who was responsible for carrying out the policy that led to Alex's needless killing, and Deputy White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, the architect of that policy, must resign immediately. If they refuse, President Trump must dismiss them.
The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents border patrol officers at the National Border Patrol Council, calls on Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller to resign or be fired

California has officially become the first state to independently re-join the World Health Organization (WHO), establishing a direct partnership with the global agency following the United States’ formal exit at the federal level.
This move allows California to bypass national policy.

Yesterday I visited #USSArizona World War II. Memorial. It was humbling experience. A beautiful morning, as it was on Dec 7, 1941, until the Japanese army attacked.
"One way that we say 'no' is that we mourn, we do not celebrate death . . . we do not pretend it doesn't happen. We say names. We pray for the dead. We mourn for a world, a country, that allows 5-year-olds to be legally kidnapped and protesters to be slaughtered."

Stone building, resembling Victorian castle a bit, with text in the arch above the main entrance: 1889 BERNICE P BISHOP MUSEUM . green grass loan in the front, blue sky with some white clouds. Big pandanus plant in the bottom right corner and a few small palms in the bottom left corner.
Just finished 5+ hours visit to #BishopMuseum in Honolulu. intense learning! Excellent exhibitions. My head is spinning from trying to absorb so much information.
Masked government agents are conducting “show me your papers” stops, detaining 5-year-olds to use them as bait, and brutally murdering U.S. citizens.
Call it what it is — fascism.
History will not look fondly on politicians and so-called "leaders" of this country who stood by and enabled this.
“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
