BREAKING: In a devastating speech, iconic actor Robert De Niro rips Donald Trump to shreds, declaring that Trump is “not a bad man,” but “an evil one” who is a “wanna be tough guy” and has “no morals or ethics.”

But Robert De Niro didn’t stop there…

De Niro continued:

“Trump has no sense of right or wrong. No regard for anyone but himself — not the people he was supposed to lead and protect, not the people he does business with, not the people who follow him, blindly and loyally, not even the people who consider themselves his “friends.” He has contempt for all of them.

The repercussions of his turbulent presidency divided America and rattled New York City beyond imagination.  Remember how we were jolted by crisis in early 2020, as a virus swept the world.

We lived with Donald Trump’s bombastic behavior every day on the national stage, and we suffered as we saw our neighbors piling up in body bags.

The man who was supposed to protect this country put it in peril, because of his recklessness and impulsiveness. It was like an abusive father ruling the family by fear and violent behavior.  That was the consequence of New York’s warning getting ignored. Next time, we know it will be worse.

Make no mistake: the twice-impeached, 4-time indicted Donald Trump is still a fool. But we can’t let our fellow Americans write him off like one. Evil thrives in the shadow of dismissive mockery, which is why we must take the danger of Donald Trump very seriously.

So, today I issue another warning.

From this place where Abraham Lincoln spoke — right here in the beating heart of New York — to the rest of America:

This is our last chance.

Democracy won’t survive the return of a wannabe dictator.

And it won’t overcome evil if we are divided.

So what do we do about it?  We have to take today into tomorrow – take it outside these walls.   We have to reach out to the half of our country who have ignored the hazards of Trump and, for whatever reason, support elevating him back into the White House.  They’re not stupid, and we must not condemn them for making a stupid choice.  Our future doesn’t just depend on us. It depends on them.

Let’s reach out to Trump’s followers with respect.  Let’s not talk about “democracy.” 

“Democracy” may be our holy grail, but to others it is just a word, a concept, and in their embrace of Trump, they’ve already turned their backs on it.  Let’s talk about right and wrong.  Let’s talk about humanity.  Let’s talk about kindness.  Security for our world.  Safety for our families.  Decency.  Let’s welcome them back.  We won’t get them all, but we can get enough to end the nightmare of Trump.”

Well said, Robert De Niro!

Please retweet and ❤️ to thank Robert De Niro for calling out Donald Trump — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a woke new Twitter competitor that banned Trump for life and is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/HnJzSKjCwX

Great display of learning!

And we are proud of you, Ms. Strein! Your tireless commitment to getting your students to think globally is inspiring. What a meaningful follow up activity to Ms. Zelda's Holocaust presentation. These students understood the assignment. #marinersmakingwaves #unitingourworld

@Jupmiddle @pbcsd @Holocaustpbc @ParticipateLrng Great opportunity for students to build empathy!

Challenging to grade creative assignments like #podcasts? LOVE single-point rubrics & was inspired by
@edutopia & @cultofpedagogy to make this one @soundtrap. Great for giving anecdotal feedback! #soundtrap https://t.co/iOWY6faaw5

Moderately releasing control to students over newly learned tasks gives them the time needed to process information and practice skills. ✨

This is not something I often do...but it was too important of an issue to stay silent on. Florida's #DontSayGay bill will only hurt kids across the country, including here in #Maine. 🏳️‍🌈 https://t.co/Q0BfxJQFEX @NEWSCENTERmaine https://t.co/RELxoFjWry

Students don’t hate technology. They hate the substitution of technology for work that was already busy-work on paper.

For Nikhil Kishore, a #WWP HSS sophomore, creating disability-inclusive curriculum is both his mission & passion. He & Carl Cooper (Social Studies Supervisor) wrote an article “Setting Up Disability-Inclusive Curriculum” just published in @Edutopia. https://t.co/j6fyZuOAlM

Hearing from every student is good for formative assessment—and having a variety of tools makes it easier.
