"The danger that Trump poses requires us to move beyond our fear - and closer to love, compassion and empathy. Bravery takes place in the day-to-day actions of the righteous folks willing to stand up and be counted." Noel sees the harm the regime is doing & calls us to take loving action to end it.

“Our geriatric, drug-addicted POTUS will indulge in posting AI-generated memes and cartoonish images of himself as a virile Commander-in-Chief consorting with muscular aliens (I’m not making this up) before finally surfacing at 4:30pm for a ‘Healthcare Affordability Event’.” open.substack.com/pub/no

Voting rights are workers' rights. When working people have a real voice at the ballot box, we can elect leaders who will protect our rights. As Tennessee AFL-CIO President Billy Dycus said, voting rights are under attack, but America’s unions are mobilizing and fighting back!

Spanish actor Javier Bardem is 💯 right about Trump’s, Putin’s and Netanyahu’s male toxic behavior: “The big balls men saying my cock is bigger than yours and I’m going to bomb the shit out of you is a fucking male toxic behavior that is creating thousands of dead people.” Well said Sir 👏👏

Total clown show. The entire world knows he’s bluffing. Iran knows he’s bluffing, and that’s why he can’t get them to make any concessions. He’s a complete fool who has no idea how to get out of the war he started by getting anything in return.

There’s no way Trump could have won his frivolous lawsuit against the IRS in court. There’s no way the J6 criminals and conspirators could have won any lawsuits in court. But they didn’t have to, because Trump installed his criminal defense lawyer to steal our money for them.

Every Democrat needs to hit a microphone right now to say this is gross corruption, we're paying attention to who gets paid off here and we'll do everything we can to claw it back.

BREAKING: It's official. The Trump DOJ just confirmed the creation of a $1.776 billion slush fund that can be used to pay Trump allies who claim they've been wrongfully targeted by the Biden admin's ‘weaponization' — including, reportedly, Jan. 6 insurrectionists.

A corollary to this is the question "how can we create a new org w Ru that doesn't fail like the OSCE did?". We can't. We cannot create security in the hen house by including the fox. The only way this situation changes is if Ru is defeated and reconceptualizes itself around deimperialization.

"Security with russia not against russia" is the most colossal failure of European geopolitical thought. Doesn't get more decisively wrong than this.

While Trump posts surrender fantasies on social media, Putin and Xi are signing 40 real deals, Iran just formalized control over the Strait of Hormuz, and his DOJ is handing $1.776 BILLION in taxpayer money to J6 criminals. Ben has the latest updates:

So let me get this straight. Trump’s former criminal defense lawyer is now in charge of a taxpayer funded slush fund that could funnel our money to the people who tried to overthrow the government for Trump.

NEW! Trump is creating a $1.8 BILLION dollar terrorist slush fund with our tax dollars to pay his Jan 6 terrorists who beat up police officers and stormed the Capitol. This is exactly the same as if Bin Laden had created a fund to compensate his 9/11 terrorists.

Every current and aspiring Democratic office holder should be announcing that anyone involved in doling out or accepting a cent of this money will be pursued for the rest of their lives, to the ends of the earth, to put them in prison and return the money to the US treasury.

While debating this 1.7b, keep in mind Trump has spent over 50b in his Iranian adventure, an estimated 315 billion on building his private ICE army and an uncalculated amount in exiting talented people from every government department and the U.S. military to replace them with Trump loyalists.

Why pay almost $2 billion to thugs who assaulted police and tried to overthrow the elected U.S. government? So they’ll be ready and willing to do it all again the next time Trump calls on them. Not so much a reward as an incentive.

Every GOP member of Congress should be asked by the press whether they agree Trump can use $1.7b that we, the taxpayers, paid so gov’t could work for us, as reward money to his supporters.

Today Trump "negotiated" with his private criminal defense lawyer—a man he made AG for this corrupt purpose—the theft of $1.8B in taxpayer money so that it could be given to far-right terrorists in open rebellion against America. It's the most corrupt act by a POTUS in history.

Trump didn't settle a lawsuit. He dropped the lawsuit so there's no lawsuit to settle. He's just stealing this money. The lawsuit was just for show so he could say he settled a lawsuit.

It’s VERY IMPORTANT that corporate media NOT frame this as a judicial settlement. Trump DROPPED the suit this morning. There is no lawsuit, and therefore, no settlement. you can’t settle a suit that doesn’t exist. This is just pure theft.

This is so corrupt, blatant large scale theft of taxpayer monies. "93 Democratic lawmakers filed court papers accusing the Justice Department of having “colluded” with Mr. Trump and asking the judge to throw out the case herself."

Trump just stole $1.8B. He’s going to give it to his business, his kids, and people like Flynn, Eastman, Giuliani, and the Oath Keepers. He’s doing this without court approval or Congress. This is a crime, but there’s no one to prosecute it because the DoJ is in on it.

By the GOP trying to please the billionaires by giving them even bigger tax cuts. I don't have the figures in front of me but the largest corporations paid almost nothing in taxes. Our social security fund is set to run out of money in 2035 or before. Fuck Trump. Fuck the GOP. Tax the Uber rich
