Dear America,
You are not cool. You live in a fucked up Top Gun movie. You believe the hype of your government that America is somehow highly revered across the globe.
You are not.
Like any bully, you are despised.
Sincerely,
The Rest of the World
🚨NEW: Donald Trump has attacked USA Olympic skier Hunter Hess on social media, calling him a “real loser” for expressing concern about the murders of Alex Pretti and Renee Good by ICE.
RETWEET if you stand with Hess against Trump!
Barack Obama hasn't been President in almost 10 years. MAGA racists cannot get past the fact that a Black man was President, won the Nobel Peace Prize, and will be remembered in history as one of the great leaders of the 21st Century.
RETWEET if you love President Obama! 💙
No wonder the toddler is unhinged once again.
The Obamas are competent, classy, loving, Harvard and Princeton graduates, loved by many, not on the Epstein files, got the Nobel Peace Prize, and gave us a steady economy to boot!
Repost this if you agree they are AMAZING!

BREAKING: Music legend Sir Rod Stewart tears into "draft dodger" Trump over his despicable remarks insulting the sacrifices of the British soldiers and other NATO troops who died in Afghanistan.
The icon really didn't hold back...
“I may just be a humble rock star. I’m also a knight of the realm and I have my opinions,” said Stewart in a video posted to Instagram. "I was born just after [World War II] and I have great respect for our armed forces that fought and gave us our freedom so it hurts me badly, deeply, when I read that draft dodger Trump has criticized our troops in Afghanistan for not being on the front line."
"We lost over four hundred of our guys. Think of their parents. Think about it. And Trump calls them almost like cowards," he continued. "It's unbearable. So I'm calling on you Prime Minister Starmer and [Nigel] Farage, please make the draft dodger Trump apologize. Please."
Stewart ended his video with a salute, driving home the message. It comes amidst a wave of widespread backlash from our British friends across the pond after Trump unleashed a jaw-droppingly offensive rant at Davos.
“We’ve never needed them," Trump said of our NATO allies. "We have never really asked anything of them. You know, they’ll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan, or this or that. And they did – they stayed a little back, a little off the front lines."
In reality, the United States invoked Article 5 of the NATO charter after the terror attacks of 9/11 and our allies bravely answered the call, sending their sons and daughters to fight and die beside Americans in Afghanistan. It's utterly reprehensible that Trump, a pampered coward who faked bone spurs to avoid the Vietnam War, would attack the memory of real heroes.
Prime Minister Starmer addressed the remarks, calling them "insulting and frankly appalling" but stopped short of demanding an outright apology. He should do so immediately. While Trump will, of course, refuse to apologize because he's a pigheaded sociopath who's incapable of empathy, that doesn't mean we should let this slide. By demanding an apology, we force him to double down on his shameful comments and keep the story in the headlines.
Please ❤️ and share to demand an apology from Trump!
Dear @madders@kennedyalexa I know you don’t know me, but your my sons idol @spursofficial we had the privilege to meet you briefly in September at a training session but only briefly as you were in physio in the gym following your injury but you still took the time to come say hello which shows the kind of person you are!

I know this is a long shot but whilst my heart is breaking I just want to see him smile and happy as he’s suffered so much he’s entire life he’s recently built an army rooting for him on social media trying to share he’s story please be part of that . All my love Harley’s mum (Kelly harris) PLEASE IF EVERYONE COULD SHARE THIS IN THE HOPE JAMES MADDISON ON (((INSTAGRAM))) SEES THIS AND MAKES A DREAM COME TRUE 🙏💙🙏💙 #spurs #madders #hopeforharley #harleysarmy @Madders10
One year ago tonight, Donald Trump pardoned the thugs who tased Capitol Police Officer Michael Fanone until he went into cardiac arrest and his heart stopped.
RETWEET if you stand with Officer Fanone against Trump!
Officer Jeffrey Smith bravely defended our Capitol on January 6th against Trump's insurrectionists. He suffered deep trauma after the day's events and later died by suicide. One year ago, Donald Trump pardoned his attackers.
RETWEET to honor Officer Smith's life today ❤️
