A brand new bridge between Detroit and Canada is finished and ready to open. It would speed up traffic for millions of trucks, cut delays for American businesses, and help the auto industry that employs people in every state. There is just one problem.

Donald Trump won’t let it open.

Here is why.

The family that owns the old bridge stands to lose business when the new one opens. So in January, they gave one million dollars to a pro-Trump super PAC.

Weeks later they met with Trump’s Commerce Secretary.

He called Trump.

Hours after that, Trump announced he would block the new bridge. The opening was set for June 12. It got canceled the day before. The bridge sits there finished and empty.

Now here is the part that should make every taxpayer angry.

Canada paid for the entire bridge.

Every dollar. And the United States already owns half of it for free. Trump is holding up a bridge we got for nothing, to protect a donor who wrote him a check, while picking a fight with our closest ally and biggest trading partner.

This is corruption in plain sight.

A billionaire pays, and the President delivers. American workers and businesses pay the price.

Open the bridge. A government should work for the people, not for whoever writes the biggest check.

The personal became the political for me in 2024. I joined public life because I passionately believe that the @narendramodi -led @BJP4India is destroying India’s precious democratic spaces and I believed and believe in the Opposition’s constitutional fight against the anti-constitutional, communal minded Modi-led BJP bent on fomenting religious wars. I believed, believe and will ALWAYS believe in the remarkable leadership of @MamataOfficial , an inspiration for all women, indeed all citizens in her unflagging courage and value-based politics. What strikes me as bizarre is this culture of winning on one party’s symbol and under the name of one particular leader and then abandoning that party and the leader the moment it faces defeat. If your convictions change with the election result, were they convictions at all? You contest under a party symbol. You ask voters to trust a party platform. You win because of that party’s support and leaders appeal.  Then the party loses and you immediately switch sides.
If loyalty lasts only as long as victory, what exactly was the mandate for? Or is it when Shri @AmitShah and his cronies make a phone call, you obediently line up and all morality ends? SHAME.

This picture from Jawaharlal Nehru’s funeral procession shows something today’s politics often forgets, millions came to the streets without internet, without TV debates, without social media trends, without 24x7 news channels.

Love, admiration or political connection was built over years, not algorithms.

No self-obsession. No personality cult machinery. No Adani. Just public emotion and a leader whose death moved an entire nation.

Without Nehru India would have become the land of snake charmers.

[P. Sainath @PSainath_org]

Even by the standards of a country ranking 157 of 180 nations in the World Press Freedom Index, the reaction of the authorities to the ‘Cockroach Janata Party’ is beyond extraordinary. The public response to that imaginative prank should have signalled to them a deep discontent, even distress, among young people. Instead, as The Indian Express reported, it was framed as jeopardising the country’s ‘national security’ and ‘posing a threat to the sovereignty of India.’ Decades ago, the Malaysian lawyer and poet Cecil Rajendra wrote this brilliant poem that captures the idiocy of it better than any pompous editorialising could (not that our ‘mainstream’ media would dare do even that much).

ग्रेट निकोबार में ₹92,000 करोड़ का "विकास" नहीं,
एक सुनियोजित विनाश लिखा जा रहा है।

1 करोड़ पेड़ काटे जाएंगे।
गैलाथिया बे, जहां लेदरबैक कछुए अंडे देते हैं, मिटा दिया जाएगा।
शॉम्पेन और निकोबारी जनजातियां अपने ही घर से उजाड़ी जाएंगी।

और ये सब वहां…
जहां 2004 की सुनामी ने पहले ही तबाही मचाई थी।

सवाल सीधा है
क्या "विकास" अब जंगल, जनजाति और भविष्य की कीमत पर ही होगा?

या सच ये है कि
विकास नहीं, विनाश को नया नाम दे दिया गया है।

"The #airline Industry in #India is under extreme stress and on the verge of closing down or stopping operations.” This dire warning has been issued by the #Federation of Indian Airlines (FIA), which represents #AirIndia, #IndiGo and #SpiceJet, in an “urgent” SOS sent to the government, seeking the latter’s “urgent intervention” in aviation turbine fuel (ATF) pricing.

I seriously think If even 1% of the energy this country spends over Hindu Muslim, were devoted to the dignity of human life...

If even 1% value were taken from communal identity & placed on humanity, equality, fraternity and justice...

we would be a very different nation. 🥀

[Ravi Prakash Official @raviprakash_rtv]

A deeply disturbing incident has come to light from Bengaluru. A former army officer and his wife allegedly called a Muslim man a “terrorist” and a “Pakistani.”
However, when residents of the apartment confronted them and reminded them that this is India , where people of all religions live together with love and equality. they questioned why he was being labeled in such a manner.

Following strong objections from the residents, the ex-army officer and his wife eventually apologized.

This is exactly how hate should be dealt with.

[Mamata Banerjee @MamataOfficial]

It is deeply unfortunate that the Prime Minister chose to mislead the nation rather than address it honestly.

Let me put this on record. Trinamool Congress has always championed higher political representation for women. We have the highest proportion of female elected representatives in both Parliament and the State Legislature. In the Lok Sabha, 37.9% of our elected members are women. In the Rajya Sabha, we have nominated 46% women members.The question of opposing Women's Reservation does not arise and never has.

What we are fundamentally opposed to is the Delimitation exercise that the Modi Government was plotting to push through by using women as a shield for its vested political agenda. What we are fundamentally opposed to is the altering of Babasaheb Ambedkar's Constitution, the division of this nation and the usurpation of power through gerrymandering, by redrawing political contours to hand greater representation to BJP-ruled states at the expense of others. This is an assault on federal democracy. And we will not watch it happen in silence.

If this government was genuinely serious about this noble cause, why did it wait nearly three years after the passage of the Women’s Reservation Bill on September 28, 2023? Why rush it through when several states are in election? And why couple it with Delimitation? Trinamool Congress has stood for women for decades. We will continue to. But we will not be lectured on a subject that the ruling dispensation neither understands nor respects.

And Mr. Prime Minister, the next time you address the nation, have the courage to do so from the Floor of Parliament, where you are subject to scrutiny, challenge and accountability. What you did yesterday was cowardly, hypocritical and fork-tongued. You can feel power slipping through your fingers. And you are prepared to go to any extent to hold on for just a little while longer.

That is all this was.

The women’s reservation and delimitation bills are being brought in complete secrecy & in a non-consultative manner. These laws will fundamentally re-shape India’s electoral democracy. Women’s reservation being used as a smokescreen for ensuring politically motivated delimitation?

🇿🇦Each cross represents a white farmer who was murdered in South Africa.

And some people still deny that white South Africans/Boers are persecuted and say they don’t deserve asylum because they are white.

This looks like a genocide.
