Democratic Socialist. Anti-fascist. Feminist. Pro-education. It grieves me that the majority of our national politicians of both parties accept money from AIPAC and must therefore disregard Palestinian lives.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw. The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

This is how Dems on the Hill need to message on Trump’s economy instead of pussyfooting around! “I would challenge every Republican… to explain how any of what Donald Trump has done in his 51 days in office has helped improve the lives of Americans.” - @tarasetmayer.bsky.social Watch this…

Trump is now calling Canada, the USA’s closest ally, a “bad abuser” in his disinformation campaign to justify stupid tariffs. WATCH THE VIDEO BELOW to understand how much of a lie that is, and how outrageously out-of-line an American President is by saying it. Watch it, then please share it a lot.

The richest man on the planet could probably solve child cancer himself using less money than he burned destroying Twitter. Instead, he used his influence to strip $190 million from the budget for pediatric cancer research. What a fucking asshole.

So Tiffany Trump’s new father-in-law is who Trump has appointed as his new Middle East advisor, an appointment that doesn’t require Senate approval Well as it turns out, he’s not exactly the billionaire businessman he claims to be, but a truck salesman🙃 Meet the new George Santos, Massad Boules👇
The lore around Massad Boulos, Tiffany Trump's father-in-law, is that he is a billionaire dealmaker. Records show otherwise.

President-elect Donald Trump's incoming Middle East adviser, Massad Boulos, has enjoyed a reputation as a billionaire mogul at the helm of a business that bears his family name.

Mr. Boulos has been profiled as a tycoon by the world's media, telling a reporter in October that his company is worth billions. Mr. Trump called him a "highly respected leader in the business world, with extensive experience on the international scene."

The president-elect even lavished what may be his highest praise: a "dealmaker."
In fact, records show that Mr. Boulos has spent the past two decades selling trucks and heavy machinery in Nigeria for a company his father-in-law controls. He is chief executive of the company, SCOA Nigeria PLC, which made a profit of less than $66,000 last year, corporate filings show.

There is no indication in corporate documents that Mr. Boulos, a Lebanese-American whose son is married to Mr. Trump's daughter Tiffany, is a man of significant wealth as a result of his businesses. The truck dealership is valued at about $865,000 at its current share price. Mr. Boulos's stake, according to securities filings, is worth $1.53.

As for Boulos Enterprises, the company that has been called his family business in The Financial Times and elsewhere, a company officer there said it is owned by an unrelated Boulos family.

Mr. Boulos will advise on one of the world's most complicated and conflict-wracked regions — a region that Mr. Boulos said this week that he has not visited in years. The advisory position does not require Senate approval.

A key asymmetry of this era of American politics and how it’s covered is that Trump is expected to do bad and corrupt things, so when he does it barely qualifies as news. But Dems are expected to be beyond reproach, so anything that seems even slightly suspect is a huge scandal.

When my Mom was dying of cancer, she was staying in a nursing/rehab place while we figured out next steps. She couldn't walk, was on an IV, and was at risk of sepsis. Her Aetna Medicare Advantage wouldn't cover her stay. But regular Medicare would have. My story for @moreperfectunion.bsky.social:
