Dirty politics is a global business. "A small number of influencers circulate a sensational accusation. Prominent political allies repeat it and engage with it. Musk joins the conversation. The claim gains visibility before the public has any opportunity to evaluate the evidence."

I’m sick of this tired talking point from Trump and now Darline Graham… “China has already said they want to be the global leader… If we don’t build data centers for 2 years… we are going to be in trouble.” 📌 The US already has 4,978 more data centers than China.

This is devastating. There are only 74 Southern Resident Killer Whales left and they rely on endangered Chinook salmon for survival. I'm fighting to urgently invest in salmon recovery and to create a better ecosystem so that we can help support these orcas' survival.

Darline Graham makes the "China threat" the centerpiece of her campaign. Now WaPo discovers that her husband's business is entirely predicated on China trade, and that's what she lives off. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Darline Graham opposes Chinese manufacturing. Her husband’s job relies on it.
The senator and sister of the late Lindsey Graham has said the U.S. must “stop depending on Communist China for things America can make ourselves.”

ICE is not grabbing headlines like it did before, because it's gotten sneaky by distributing its efforts, making it more effective and even more cruel. Don't be fooled. They are the bones of Trump's dream of a police state that must be stopped!

The Trump administration is cutting financial aid for degrees it says don’t “pay off”—including social work, early childhood education, and the arts. These careers contribute meaningfully to our society and we should be creating pathways to education, not erecting barriers. Congress can fix this!

l've been a SA advocate for decades:
NEVER go to campus resources for a SA. Call a rape care hotline/program (off campus), get a SA advocate (they're free), go to a SART hospital for care (and evidence collection if you choose).
They activate the police. Schools have NO business in this process and will minimize and bury it. It's a criminal matter, not an administrative matter.
Period. No exceptions.

Horrific: “In one case, a 16-year-old girl had been sexually assaulted by a gang member in Honduras and feared that if she returned, she would be assaulted, kidnapped and enslaved by the gang. The court stated that those fears are ‘not a basis for protection in the U.S.’ and ordered her removal.”

Corporate Media would have crucified Hunter if he had a Russian oligarch pay for his wedding while Biden was president, but they will bury Donald Jr. doing it. Easy to become inured to absurd asymmetric accountability, but critical to hammer home to US that Corporate Media is biased for Trump.
