In my time as a manager at a high-tech company, I interviewed hundreds of people. Only one person ever brought a beverage...and it was just a bottle of water. Funny thing...I hired her, and she turned out to be my all-time best employee. Go figure.

An important development.

Ed Miliband announces that the UK will announce a "comprehensive set of sanctions" against Israel over the Netanyahu government's program of dispossessing Palestinians on the West Bank and turning their property over to illegal squatters. www.reuters.com/world/uk-unv...

DJT…take note!!

The US and Canada should stop targeting each other with aluminum tariffs, according to industry groups representing producers of the metal in both countries, and instead forge a common front against Chinese competition.

Look, you can buy classic American beers like Corona and Modelo to celebrate Freedom 250.

Roman Emperors at least provided free grain and entertainment spectacles to appease people. The Trump admin serves up $5,000 trackside tickets and $14 beers. bsky.app/profile/atru...

We had the biggest liar anyone has ever seen...

Trump: "We had the biggest crowd that anyone has ever seen that unfortunately lightning caused it to leave, and everybody said, 'Well we'll do it another time.' When I heard that I said, 'No we won't. We're doing it on the Fourth of July' ... 150,000 people came back."

Why does the world still allow trophy hunting? We've done so much harm already. RT if you think there should be a worldwide ban on this barbaric practice. Nature is amazing. Protect it. #ActOnClimate #climate #TrophyHunting #nature #rewilding #GreenNewDeal #biodiversity

Truth!

We’re two months into Trump’s war with Iran, and what does he have to show for it? 13 Americans dead and many more injured. Higher prices for Americans at home. Tens of billions of dollars spent. None of which has made life any better for the American people.

Gas prices in the U.S. have reached another wartime high. The average price of regular gasoline in the U.S. rose more than 6 cents yesterday to $4.18 a gallon. Prices have now risen $1.19 since Feb. 28, the day the Iran war broke out. 🔗: on.wsj.com/4vYenIa

In what is probably his greatest heist ever, Trump is negotiating with Trump on an IRS settlement to give himself $10bn over his leaked tax returns. Why not just let this guy back up a truck to the Fort Knox vault & load up a few thousand gold bars the way he loaded up classified documents in 2021?

"NO KINGS DAY" is Saturday, March 28. Go to indivisible.org to find our where and when your nearest protest will be. It's lots of fun, AND you can let the world know that Donald Trump does not represent who we are. #ImpeachRemoveConvict

Never forget that the U.S. can always find money for war, but not for education, health care, or to help those in need. This is 100% a choice. And it is 100% the wrong one. www.csis.org/analysis/37-...

Even the WSJ editorial page calls out the lies! “The Trump Administration spin on this simply isn’t believable. Stephen Miller, the political architect of the mass deportation policy, called Pretti a ‘domestic terrorist.’ He was a nurse without a criminal record.”

The mad king....

President Donald Trump is now claiming that one reason he is pushing to acquire Greenland is that he didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize, according to a message he sent to Norway’s prime minister over the weekend.

Important information....

In 1916, the US was worried that Germany might take control of the Danish West Indies to use as a submarine base. So, Denmark sold the Danish West Indies to the USA, with the colony becoming the US Virgin Islands. In exchange, the USA acknowledged Denmark's complete sovereignty over Greenland.
