Trump's supposed patriotism is performative, and it's a really bad performance! No Academy Award for this slob

Opinion | Trump's performative patriotism The president's idea of loving America is defined by fealty to authority and idol worship of America-branded totems, like flags and statues.

Trump & The Republicans don't want to deal in facts. They want ultimate power & they don't care what the cost is, as long as it isn't to them!

Facts are facts...

🙏💙👍

Cheers 👍

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: "Of course, thoughts and prayers ... These kids were literally praying. And so we have to do a whole hell of a lot more than that right now. Words are not enough."

The health & safety of Americans is at risk due to extremist HHS Secretary Kennedy who’s bent on wild, costly conspiracies.

He should resign immediately before he does more damage &costs lives. He’s already cost us top scientists &vital medical research.

And CDC Director Monarez should stay put!

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: "Anybody who is using this as an opportunity to villainize trans people has completely lost touch with the common humanity."

Me: "Anera is wrong? Christian Aid is wrong? The Danish Refugee Council is wrong? The Norwegian Refugee Council is wrong? Doctors Without Borders is wrong? Save the Children is wrong? Oxfam is wrong? 100 aid groups are all wrong? Do you realize how silly you sound?"

Our President keeps insisting prices are going to drop by 1400%, 1000%, or some other number that’s mathematically impossible. That he can’t do simple math isn’t the problem, it’s that he’s lying to America while things are getting more expensive because of his bad choices.

I’m not reading all that and neither should you. Yes on 50. Protect our democracy.

🚨Border Patrol arrested two firefighters who were actively fighting a wildfire at the time.

When the other members of the crew asked for a chance to say goodbye, a Border Patrol agent told the crew member “you need to get the f*ck out of here. I’m going to make you leave.”

Slouching into fascism Are we already past the tipping point?

"American fascism looks like the would-be self-proclaimed king deploying the military on US soil not only not in response to requests by local or state officials but over — and almost specifically to spite — their vociferous objections."

The story of the human race is a story of refusing to accept violence as ordinary and normal.

But Donald Trump celebrates and uses violence - and the threat of violence - everyday. Our nation under him is bathed in violence. We are heading backwards.

What’s happening at the CDC is chilling.

RFK Jr. is driving out dedicated public health experts because they refuse to rubber-stamp his dangerous views on vaccines.

"A grand jury would indict a ham sandwich," then-Chief Judge of New York's Court of Appeals, Sol Wachtler, said in 1985.

Oh. The. Irony.
