Xan @xanpearson.bsky.social · 24/06/2025In all the spin, let’s not forget Trump bombed Iran for restarting its nuclear program after he, in his first term despite all warnings, withdrew the US from the nuclear accord with Iran. All of this could’ve been avoided. The man is a colossal idiot, and that’s being generous. 1341

Xan @xanpearson.bsky.social · 13/04/2025LOL. Whitmer said she was there to meet with Trump and didn’t know she was walking into a press event. (PSA: you have the option to leave. If Trump’s team invites you to do something, assume they have an agenda. 🤦♀️) 190
Xan @xanpearson.bsky.social · 09/04/2025Breaking: According to CNN, Trump authorizes a 90 day pause on the new “reciprocal” tariffs, except for China. (Dude is simply trying to manipulate the market). 161

Xan @xanpearson.bsky.social · 20/02/2025European leaders need to step in and insure Ukraine has massive support from every other world leader. Call Trump’s bluff and diminish his perceived power. It’s time to reveal the Emperor has no clothes. 0245
Xan @xanpearson.bsky.social · 05/02/2025When did inclusion become a threat? Regardless of what this administration wants everyone to think, DEI is not about hiring unqualified individuals. So the real question we should be asking is why are some so threatened by the idea of equitable opportunity for ALL qualified individuals? 🤔 7427

Xan @xanpearson.bsky.social · 23/01/2025So Johnson doesn’t want Republicans embarrassed by the release of sexually explicit texts sent to Cassidy Hutchinson. Two thoughts: 1. Why wasn’t Hutchinson given a pardon to avoid continued unmerited harassment? 2. If any lawmaker subjected her to sexual harassment, those texts should be released. 0180

Xan @xanpearson.bsky.social · 22/01/2025MAGA having a meltdown about a Bishop simply appealing for mercy at a National prayer service is a classic self-own. Kudos to the Bishop for gracefully challenging & exposing the hypocrisy of those who claim moral superiority as a basis for their political agenda. 1143

Xan @xanpearson.bsky.social · 08/01/2025I love her. 😂 Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum responds to Trump on his proposal to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico. She points to a 17th century map of greater México. “We are going to call it América Mexicana. It sounds pretty, no?” 110017
Xan @xanpearson.bsky.social · 06/01/2025The only consolation today is that I’m 100% certain no amount of white-washing will change the fact that history will accurately portray what Trump & his enablers did on Jan. 6th with disdain. He may have been re-elected, but he & his congressional cronies destroyed their legacies in the process. 1171
