President Trump, Jan 20: “I will also sign an executive order to immediately stop all government censorship and bring back free speech to America. Never again will the immense power of the state be weaponized to persecute political opponents.”

Genocide scholar Martin Shaw argues that ending Israel’s genocide in Gaza and isolating Israel on the international stage must become the cause of every country that claims to represent human values. https://t.co/qoX6sgRcFa

ProPublica identified 95 Facebook pages that regularly post made-up headlines designed to draw engagement — and, often, stoke political divisions. The pages, most of which are managed by people overseas, have a total of more than 7.7M followers.

This is Donald Trump’s America

[Marc Owen Jones @marcowenjones]

@Keir_Starmer Stop pretending this is about international security. It's about Western interests and the opposite of international security. It represents a shattering of international law, and submitting to the will of a genocidal state who is destabilising the region. You're a disgrace

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

The President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers.

He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations.

It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.

[Armand Domalewski @ArmandDoma]

The Obama JCPOA was working perfectly fine. Every bit of evidence we had showed Iran was keeping its uranium enrichment waayyyyy below nuclear weapons level. But Trump had to tear it up purely because it was Obama’s, and now we are here

[Bryan Behar @bryanbehar]

I’m no fan of the Iranian nuclear program. Which is why President Obama signed a treaty with Iran to dismantle it.

The only reason Iran is enriching uranium is because Trump tossed out the Obama-Iran treaty the minute he got into office.

This was all preventable.

She chose MS-13 over Americans.

Huge disappointment.

@BillAckman @realDonaldTrump IMO one of the most important unintended consequences is that a trade war gives non-allies the opportunity to make tactical geopolitical gains against USA behind the veil of trade policy responses

[Bill Ackman @BillAckman]

The country is 100% behind the president on fixing a global system of tariffs that has disadvantaged the country. But, business is a confidence game and confidence depends on trust.

President @realDonaldTrump has elevated the tariff issue to the most important geopolitical issue in the world, and he has gotten everyone’s attention. So far, so good.

And yes, other nations have taken advantage of the U.S. by protecting their home industries at the expense of millions of our jobs and economic growth in our country.

But, by placing massive and disproportionate tariffs on our friends and our enemies alike and thereby launching a global economic war against the whole world at once, we are in the process of destroying confidence in our country as a trading partner, as a place to do business, and as a market to invest capital.

The president has an opportunity to call a 90-day time out, negotiate and resolve unfair asymmetric tariff deals, and induce trillions of dollars of new investment in our country.

If, on the other hand, on April 9th we launch economic nuclear war on every country in the world, business investment will grind to a halt, consumers will close their wallets and pocket books, and we will severely damage our reputation with the rest of the world that will take years and potentially decades to rehabilitate.

What CEO and what board of directors will be comfortable making large,
long-term, economic commitments in our country in the middle of an economic nuclear war?

I don’t know of one who will do so.

When markets crash, new investment stops, consumers stop spending money, and businesses have no choice but to curtail investment and fire workers.

And it is not just the big companies that will suffer. Small and medium size businesses and entrepreneurs will experience much greater pain. Almost no business can pass through an overnight massive increase in costs to their customers. And that’s true even if they have no debt, and, unfortunately, there is a massive amount of leverage in the system.

Business is a confidence game. The president is losing the confidence of business leaders around the globe. The consequences for our country and the millions of our citizens who have supported the president — in particular low-income consumers who are already under a huge amount of economic stress — are going to be severely negative. This is not what we voted for.

The President has an opportunity on Monday to call a time out and have the time to execute on fixing an unfair tariff system.

Alternatively, we are heading for a self-induced, economic nuclear winter, and we should start hunkering down.

May cooler heads prevail.

What the actual fuck??!!! Trump has named Fox News host, Pete Hegseth, as Defense Secretary. Holy shit! Putin is laughing his ass off. 😳👇

[Common Sense 🇺🇸💙 @commons96055467]

lloyd Austin. Pete Hegseth.
The dumbing down of America in full display.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Soon to be Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth complained on Fox that veterans who use the benefits they've earned are dependent on the government and lack "personal integrity".

This is what every Vet who wore their MAGA hats to the VA hospital voted for.

I share this woman's disgust. 😳👇

[Jack Hopkins @thejackhopkins]

The only thing that changed between 1959 and now, regarding Black Americans, is the law. The hate is as deep as it ever was. If it were still legal to have “Colored Restroom” signs…they’d still be hanging above doorways. We may see them again.
