On this, #America250 birthday, it is important to acknowledge and celebrate the #immigrants who really MADE AMERICA GREAT. As did the first American Pope and NYC’s mayor Mamdani. It is equally important to acknowledge the impact of the colonization of our country on the indigenous, native population: the genocide and ethnic cleansing that occurred during the great land rushes and settlement of the West. It is also important to understand that this milestone means different things to different communities, like the Black American population - still seeking reparations for the Slavery imposed upon them by white, European immigrants. It’s a complicated, multi-layered day and event to be sure. The current, xenophobic, anti-immigrant, fascist wave sweeping through American politics and society has added yet another layer of controversy & division to the equation. Here’s a reminder the impact of the #AntiImmigration policies of the #TrumpRegime on our society. #USPol #July4th #USPollitics #Fascism #Republicans

The #corruption of the #TrumpRegime is staggering. And it continues unabated with NO consequences. Just think if it would have been a Democrat or Independent shamelessly lining their pockets. #grift #GriftersGonnaGrift #Republicans #GOP #USPol #USPollitics

The absence of even a pale shadow or a bad approximation to a coherent policy process under Trump’s administration renders both allies and adversaries unable to predict American actions. That undermines global stability. In the world of international relations, predictability is not a luxury but a necessity. Nations calibrate their own policies, investments, and security arrangements based on expectations about the behavior of others—particularly when it comes to a superpower like the United States…
European governments, for instance, have found themselves scrambling to respond to abrupt reversals on NATO commitments, trade policy, and climate agreements. Adversaries, meanwhile, are emboldened to test boundaries.
The net effect is a world system where trust erodes and the risk of miscalculation—and thus catastrophe—increases. —Professor Brad DeLong, economist UC Berkeley #TrumpAdministration #ForeignPolicy #InternationalRelations #USPol #USPollitics -

Woke is the term #MAGA uses to replace the n-slur or the f-slur. Here, it's both. Try replacing "#woke" with those slur and you'll see it captures the meaning.
"… Hegseth suggested firing Brown and other senior officers over what he described as a “woke” agenda undermining U.S. military strength."

Donald Trump is an evil, incompetent, ignorant fool. He's not the threat. It's the people controlling him who are evil and dangerous. .

By funding Trump, Musk has purchased a "Get out of jail free" card. A few hundred million investment will return hundreds of billions in government contracts.

In response to a barrange of phone calls from concerned voters, as well as lobbying by environmental groups, New York Governor Hochul has backed down, and the state will continue to maintain rules which will push utilities to plug methane gas leaks aggressively.
This was likely a warm-up for what's coming later in the legislative session: a change to the state building code ending the use of fossil fuels for space heating.

Just to be clear, when the New York Times reported that the FBI saw “no link between Trump and Russia” — a week before the 2016 election — the FBI agent who was just arrested over ties to Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska was involved in the investigation.
