The DOJ released evidence, which the FBI deemed credible, that the President of the United States sexually and physically assaulted a 13 year old girl AND she was afraid to talk about it because Trump would kill herβ€”and it’s somehow not the biggest scandal in American history?

Three-panel meme showing a woman speaking and a man listening from behind a wall. In the first panel, she says β€œMasks don’t work,” and the man replies β€œBe honest.” In the second, she says β€œI don’t want to wear one,” and he again says β€œBe honest.” In the final panel, she says β€œI just don’t wanna be reminded of the scary pandemic,” and the man responds, β€œThank you.”

This is what it really comes down to.

Masks are a reminder the pandemic isn’t over.

πŸ”ΉCOVID is airborne
πŸ”ΉEach infection carries cumulative risk
πŸ”ΉLong COVID has no cure
πŸ”ΉThe pandemic isn’t over
πŸ”ΉWearing a mask is still one of the best ways to protect yourself and others

Stay informed. Stay safe.

He expects foreign leaders to humiliate themselves by kissing his butt like his cabinet does, and he's punishing them for not obeying.

Seriously, the world needs to tell this man to f**k off. No good comes from acquiescing to his bullying.

This brings me to tears every time i listen to it. The specificity and the clarity of the moment we are living in is striking. An anthem of a generation and more importantly a call to action: RESIST THE FASCISTS TRUMP REGIME NOW!

People did similar coverage for Renee Good and I do absolutely believe that it makes a difference. It reaches a lot of low-info voters who don’t consume much political media, and it isn’t framed as political news coverage. it’s framed, correctly, as coverage of an innocent person’s murder

ICE Destroyed Alex Pretti's Body. The Trump Administration Assassinated His Character. Conservative Americans Are Fine With That. Alex Pretti was murdered by ICE, in cold blood, without cause, and with giddy joy from his assassins.

I watched the video and pretty much everyone is representing it pretty much accurately and I don't think you need to watch it if your takeaway is that a bunch of ICE guys were on top of a dude who they were beating and then one of them decided to shoot him at point blank range for no obvious reason

It's illuminating to see the rest of the world finally waking up to the insane #NaziKing that america enthusiastically voted into power for life. Canada has been dealing with this bullshit for over a year now. The #NaziKing came for us first, before Venezuela, before Panama,

This is the best speech, just from a pure rhetoric perspective - its sophistication and persuasiveness - that I've seen a politician deliver in a good long while. Really recommend watching or reading the whole thing.

Last night, Trump posted a map of all of North America & Greenland under the American flag. The threat of American imperialism is very real. Canada & the U.S. are finished as partners. Done once & for all.

Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "
