Black people have been telling y’all the whole time that they would rather destroy the United States of America than share it, but as usual, nobody listened to us.

I don't believe that the Trumpers targeted Lesotho. The process was too chaotic for that. But I bet they're delighted by how it's worked out.

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

Donald Trump just wiped $1 trillion in market cap value off the New York Stock Exchange. Apple alone has lost over $250 billion in value. Are we great yet?

Trump is now directing federal law enforcement officials to seek sanctions against attorneys or law firms that challenge his actions in court. The admin currently faces more than 130 lawsuits. The move is the latest action that aims to punish judges and lawyers taking positions against Trump.

Just a reminder that while some cities are still debating transforming a few blocks of 1 or 2 streets into places for people, last year Montreal transformed 11 such streets across 7 neighbourhoods, equalling 9+kms changed from car spaces to people places. Leadership. www.mtl.org/en/experienc...
Mont Royal Ave in Montreal filled with people enjoying it as a place for people, not for cars.

If you’re protesting this weekend, know your rights.
Black graphic with text
“You don't need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don't need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you're not obstructing traffic or access to buildings.
When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police.If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries.If you get stopped by the police, ask if you're free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away.If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don't sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present.If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you’ll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney — no matter your citizenship or immigration status.”
