Trump is helping Russia who is helping Iran attack and kill Americans. So that means Trump is knowingly taking steps to weaken the US and bolster Russia and its close ally, Iran. Does that make him a traitor? Let's have the debate.... www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

Trump Officials Secretly Manipulate Code With No Oversight Shocking Betrayal Exposed
A behind-the-scenes initiative in Washington is paving the way for major tech companies to reshape the American healthcare landscape, sparking concerns over regulation and patient privacy. Senior officials from the Trump administration have been quietly collaborating with industry leaders to promote the use of artificial intelligence (AI) apps aimed at managing personal healthcare data. This year-long effort has seen key figures from the administration granting tech firms unprecedented access to define federal policies governing AI applications in healthcare.

More than 500 U.S. citizens have been detained by ICE, according to ProPublica. 70% of ICE detainees have no criminal conviction. Trump’s promise to go after the “worst of the worst” was always a lie. It was always a pretext to terrorize Black and brown communities. Remember this.

The secret to the French people’s success in protest is that they don’t spend two years on the internet bitching. The threat isn’t empty. When their government behaves badly they hit the streets, they dance, they fight, the usually win. And the government lives with that threat as it should.

This election is going to be about the economy. That’s why the GOP is losing support from men. Trump won them by 12 in 2024 and Dems have a 4 point lead now. No amount of fear mongering about ‘transing’ kids is going to make voters look at their grocery bill and think ‘eh this isn’t so bad.’

The real power of the Gulabi Gang isn’t force. It’s solidarity. It’s women realizing they are not alone. Because when systems fail women, women build their own. And that terrifies abusers more than anything. 🩷
