@QasimRashid Harris never would have done this. We could have prevented USA fascism AND made things better for people in Gaza.

putin is only duping leaders and drawing them into his camp. And he is staving off the threat of sanctions by doing so. Nothing else interests him. It is important that together we press russia into ending this war.

Congress—and only Congress—passes budgets. Because the president's job is to take care the laws are faithfully executed, he must spend the money as directed. Trump's "pocket recissions” are lawless and absurd. If a president opposes legislative spending decisions, he can veto them, subject to override, but once passed, he must execute on them.

i'm sure it's just a coincidence that the bitcoin wallet that #OFAC just sanctioned because it was being used by Russian and North Korean weapons programs just so happened to be sending all its bitcoins to crypto exchanges belonging to Trump's Chinese business partners: Justin Sun's #HTX and Changpeng Zhao's #Binance.

@AlliFlowers It's 1942 all over again but I'm ready this time. I already reserved my family suite at Manzanar Concentration Camp. After all, white folk can't tell the difference between Chinese, Japanese, Koreans or all them there other gooks! /S
@mcnado Of course it’s a racist holdover. Why else would MAGA be so mad with a change to its logo? The only recent change they were ok with was when the KKK changed from hoods to red hats.

Women are being kidnapped and assaulted by men who impersonate ICE agents. This is one of many reasons why we can’t have a masked, unaccountable secret police force roaming the streets.

A 70 year old Jewish woman was stabbed at a Kosher grocery store in Ontario by a 71 year old gentile man in what prosecutors are classifying as a hate crime. This event is getting attention in Canada, coverage by the CBC, a statement by the Prime Minister, etc.
This is typical of how antisemitism is handled in Canada. Comedian Modi says that antisemitism is "Hating Jews more than you're allowed." and that holds very true in Canada, where physical violence gets a lot of attention, but non-physical violence such as hate speech/vandalism/intimidation and discrimination go unaddressed.
Politicians here treat antisemitic incidents like American politicians treat gun violence, with "no idea where it comes from" and remedies that include "hopes and prayers".
It's time for a change, and for Canadians to address non-physical violence like they go physical violence.

#EightYearsAgoToday #AreWeGreatYet
August 30, 2017 – After Hurricane Harvey hit Texas, Donald Trump visited Corpus Christi and told a small crowd the recovery from the hurricane’s devastation would be “better than ever before.”
His proposed budget slashed FEMA programs aimed at helping Americans get back on their feet after natural disasters.

Senator Chris Coons (D-Delaware) stated, “It is unacceptable that after last year signing a Republican tax bill that gave away tens of billions in corporate tax cuts and added more than $1 trillion to the national debt, President Trump cites the need for government belt-tightening in his decision to slash a planned pay increase.”

A high profile conservative lawyer (and the ex-husband of former Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway) is calling Donald Trump’s political strategy what it is: “authoritarianism.”
“We have never seen anything like this in America."
