Trump claims there is an ongoing “genocide” of white farmers in South Africa. That is a lie. There is crime in SA., but most of those murdered are black. The South African president has tried to make the facts clear to Trump - to no avail

On June 6th 1944 our grandfathers fought fascists, to liberate the oppressed. In 1932 their fathers before them marched on Washington DC as the Bonus Army, to demand relief from economic hardship. June 6th 2025 on the National Mall in Wash.DC, join the Sons of Liberty. We are the Bonus Army.

When Trump and Musk tout how much money they're saving by gutting cancer research and Social Security services, know this: Their IRS cuts will cost $500 billion in tax revenue just this year. That's more than half the Defense budget. None of their destruction is actually about saving money.
Trump and Musk want to shrink the government by fiat without regard to who and what they hurt.

Shoutout to Adam Schiff for saying what Republicans won’t—Trump’s tax cuts for billionaires are moving forward, and working people are about to lose their healthcare. Next: make every House Republican vote on it. Let them show us who they really work for.

Mr. Zuckerberg was amenable. He signaled to Mr. Miller and his colleagues, including other senior Trump advisers, that he would do nothing to obstruct the Trump agenda, according to three people with knowledge of the meeting, who asked for anonymity to discuss a private conversation. Mr. Zuckerberg said he would instead focus solely on building tech products.

Mr. Zuckerberg blamed his former chief operating officer, Sheryl Sandberg, for Facebook’s culture, according to one of the people with knowledge of the meeting. He said new guidelines and a series of layoffs amounted to a reset and that more changes were coming.
