But you endorsed Trump who was found to have committed rape. Might want to sit this one out.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨HOLY SHIT: Trump says the quiet part out loud and reveals that his billionaire buddies don’t lose when the market is down and gain when it’s up. He calls it a “big beautiful game.”

This while Americans are paycheck to paycheck. Unbelievable.

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

Belgium literally did the “Trump Dance” to troll the President after they defeated the USA in the World Cup.

Trump gave them all the motivation they needed.

BREAKING: Donald Trump has just called Gianni Infantino and asked FIFA to “just find 4 more goals.”

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

This is communism by the way.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

So now millions of football fans around the world view the US as cheaters who used political corruption to influence FIFA and we lose anyway. So much winning. When’s the next war?

@jukan05 How did Samsung report ?

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Over this past week, Russia used around 2,200 attack drones against Ukraine, more than 1,730 guided aerial bombs, and 106 missiles of various types, nearly half of them ballistic. Sumy, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, Kharkiv, and Dnipro, as well as our border and frontline communities, are under fire almost every day. There was a massive strike on Kyiv that claimed the lives of 31 people and injured another 102, including four children. My condolences to their families and loved ones.

Every day, we must protect lives from these attacks. We already have the capabilities to effectively shoot down more than 90% of drones, but, unfortunately, not all ballistic missiles are intercepted. And it is ballistic missiles that Moscow is now leaning on to continue its war. And every day, we are working to strengthen air defense for Ukraine: through PURL and through our bilateral contacts with countries that have not joined PURL but do have the missiles we so urgently need. We are also strengthening our air defense through joint work with Europeans on anti-ballistic capabilities. We need answers from our partners to our requests for air defense. Every package of interceptor missiles provides real protection for lives. I thank all leaders who are finding ways to help in this particular area.

Imagine that. The crooked FIFA boss who handed a bogus peace prize to a warmongering pedophile who killed 165 Iranian schoolchildren later reversed a World Cup decision because that same pedophile told him to.

Fuck Infantino. Fuck Trump.

"You're not going anywhere! Let them out!". In the Urals, mothers physically tried to stop their sons from being sent back to the war with Ukraine. 🧵(Read on — 1/4)

It’s simple. The DOJ refuses to comply with a court order to release the unredacted Epstein files for one reason & one reason only: Donald trump raped, tortured, & possibly murdered children with Jeffrey Epstein. The actions of the trump regime are as good as a signed confession.

Trump tells his supporters to "go out and buy a Dell computer"

(Trump has purchased up to $5.2 million in Dell stock this year)

[Alex Cole @acnewsitics]

The dude is literally bragging about getting away with crimes and 30% of those in the USA think it's great.

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

Donald Trump Jr became an owner and advisor to a company that wants to ship guns through the mail

…but that’s been illegal for nearly a century

…so his father just rescinded that rule

…to help his company.

It’s not a coincidence.
It’s corruption.

Future President, Gavin Newsom comes with some fire. 🔥 🔥🔥

“Donald Trump knows exactly what’s coming. . . A man like Trump does not lose gracefully. HE CHEATS, HE LIES, HE STEALS!”

[Rep. James Walkinshaw @Rep_Walkinshaw]

The DOJ is still withholding Epstein files despite a judge demanding answers. Why?

Todd Blanche’s upcoming testimony should be under oath and on camera. If there’s nothing to hide, there should be nothing to fear from full transparency.

🚨 Trump donor Adam Kidan went to prison after stealing tens of millions from investors.

Trump just pardoned him, allowing him to keep $21.7 million in stolen funds.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

🚨 BREAKING: DOGE has officially been shut down after failing to achieve its stated goals.

Analysts now estimate the initiative ultimately increased the federal deficit rather than reducing it, despite being launched as a government efficiency effort.

My July 5th Diatribe after Returning from Europe again:

The weirdest thing about leaving America is realizing how much of America is just a sales pitch.

You spend your whole life hearing “greatest country on Earth,” then you go overseas and see clean trains, safer streets, affordable medicine, cities where people can walk without playing Frogger with an SUV, and workers who take vacations without acting like they committed treason.

And then you come home.

You come home to potholes, medical debt, school shooting drills, $17 airport sandwiches, people living in tents under highways, politicians wearing flag pins (or worse, gun pins) while doing absolutely nothing for the people standing in food bank lines, and billionaires being treated like they’re the fragile ones.

And somehow we’re all supposed to stand there, hand over heart, and pretend this is normal.

I don’t hate America. I hate what America has been taught to tolerate.

I hate that we call basic things “radical.” Healthcare? Radical. Paid leave? Radical. Clean air? Radical. Kids not getting shot in math class? Somehow political.

Meanwhile, the loudest “patriots” are usually the same people telling struggling Americans to shut up, stop complaining, and be grateful.

Grateful for what? A flag doesn’t pay rent. A bald eagle doesn’t cover insulin. Fireworks don’t fix bridges. And chanting “USA” doesn’t make a broken system less broken.

America has incredible people. That’s the tragedy. The people are better than the system they’ve been forced to defend.

So no, I’m not going to call America the greatest country on Earth just because it has the best marketing department.

Real patriotism isn’t pretending the country is perfect.

Real patriotism is being angry that it isn’t, and blaming minorities and immigrants for your own piece of shit life that you created.
