The rest of the world doesn’t think Trump is making America great, and we’re paying the price. 📌 Fewer travelers are coming to the U.S. Can’t imagine why. Masked ICE agents, mass shootings, a president who slaps tariffs on Canada, lying that it’s about fentanyl when it’s really about control.

We're within 3 years of reaching a critical climate threshold. Can we reverse course?
A report published in June found that the world only has three years before it crosses the 1.5 C climate target. So what should we do now?

D legislators have pretty clearly been afraid to confront trump because they worry he's popular. mass demonstrations are important to change perceptions there.

Let’s be clear: Israel, an occupier, has no authority under international law to board or divert the Madleen. This is a hijacking, plain and simple. A hijacking of a UK-registered ship, with multiple *European* citizens on board. Does the EU or UK government have anything to say? Anything??

For a half century now, Republicans a) pretend to care about deficits when Dems are in power, as a pretext to cut spending, & b) massively grow deficits when they are in power, via tax cuts for the rich. The mainstream political press has not just allowed this deception, they've actively colluded.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.
A tweet by Sarah Longwell (@SarahLongwell25
) reads: "He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. Don’t you see what’s happening here?"

What Canada doesn't tell you, but should, is that you should try to enter through pre-clearance at nearly every Canadian airport (excluding Billy Bishop) if possible. You can only be denied, and not detained by ICE, if you run into trouble in pre-clearance. I speak from experience.
