For All the World to See, This is Who the American People Are

And on...

[Trump's racist Obama meme is] something which had, for many years, been confined to the dustbin of history, while still very much a part of the vocabulary of white supremacists.

But something has changed.

Maybe it's social media, maybe it's something else, but something has changed. We are in a new reality where, for more than 12 hours, Trump's White House thought this was OK.


On and on...







Trump: "I looked at the beginning of it. It was fine. Nobody knew that that was at the end."

When asked if he would apologize for an overtly racist video clip of the Obamas posted on President Trump's Truth Social, the president said Friday, "No, I didn't make a mistake."

Trump said he looks at "thousands of things" when he spoke to reporters on Air Force One en route to Palm Beach.

FT Super Bowl Elle Ex Seattle 29 New England 13

 

It’s time for the world to boycott the US

Under Donald Trump, the US is escalating violence abroad and repression at home while facing none of the sanctions routinely demanded of other states. A global boycott and divestment campaign may now be the only nonviolent way to force accountability.


Short of civil strife, civil war, or military action, there is no other way for the world to disrupt US aggression except through massive economic pressure. While on a considerably smaller scale, [Dr. Martin Luther] King and so many other Black people in the 1950s understood that hitting the wallets of those who had long benefited from Black labour and pain could be effective in the US. It was one of the few tools available in their struggle against the daily onslaught of violent racist segregation.

The American people who chose the Trump regime Must. Feel. Pain.

Anthem for Minnesota


O say can you see, by the midday dim light,

What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming,

Whose blue fields and North Star through the perilous ICE

Through the tear gas we watch'd was so gallantly streaming?

And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there,

O say does that North Star banner yet wave

O'er the land of the ICE free and the home of the brave?

FT Liverpool 1 Manchester City 2

A depressing result for Arsenal fans whose club would have gone 9 points clear at the top with a (expected) City loss, or 7 with a draw, with 13 matches left in the season. It was City's first win at Anfield in years. 

Minnesota

Benjamin,

The Trump regime's brutal occupation of Minnesota has been historic both in its scope, and in the fierceness of Minnesotans' opposition. 

On February 12, 7pm ET/4pm PT, Indivisible will join partner organizations in hosting “Resist and Reimagine: Lessons from MN on Fighting Authoritarianism.” Organizers, community members, and Reps. Ilhan Omar and Pramila Jayapal will share practical lessons we can take from the ongoing resistance in the Twin Cities as we all work to protect our own communities.  

In every corner of the state, from every walk of life and political persuasion, often in sub-zero weather and with little more than whistles and phones, Minnesotans have stood against tear gas, pepper spray, and the killing of two of their own. Their shared dedication to protecting the rights and safety of all has been breathtaking, transforming crisis into action and tragedy into solidarity. 

Starting with the occupation of Los Angeles and on through Washington, DC, Memphis, Chicago, New Orleans, and Portland, we've all been learning from each other. Now, in Minnesota, long-time and first-time activists are building a wealth of lived knowledge that historians, activists, and professional organizers will study closely for decades.

May I tell you what it is like for me to wake up each morning? I shall.


First, the most beautiful creature I have ever seen sleeps under my bed...to be near to me.


Then at day break this same most beautiful creature crawls up on my bed, her beautiful green eyes full and night-dilated, and gently whisker-alarms me awake.


When I don't arise she goes back to sleep under the bed.


When I finally get up, I open the blinds and go into the kitchen to make coffee and she sleepily, slowly comes out and pads into the kitchen to help me.


Who's got it better than me!?


Trump's name appears in the Epstein files 38,000 times

Is Pat Riley going to allow us to question him? Is he able to handle that? Riley owes us a free-flowing, hard-hitting Q and A.

OR ARE YOU A COWARD, WHICH IS A BULLY BY ANOTHER NAME, RILEY WHO'S GOING TO SIT AND NAP IN YOUR PRESIDENTIAL SUITE AND TELL US MASSES WHO PAY FOR TICKETS TO LET THEM EAT CAKE? NO SPEECHES RILEY. OPEN IT UP TO THE FANS! HAVE A TELETHON TO RAISE MONEY FOR YOUR DEMENTIA MEDICATION.

FUCK DONALD TRUMP!

"This disgusting video, posted by the so-called president, was done intentionally. 

"Fuck Donald Trump and his vile, racist and malignant behavior. This guy is an unhinged bottom feeder. President Obama and Michelle Obama are brilliant, caring and patriotic Americans. They represent the best of this country. It's time for John Thune, Mike Johnson and Republicans to denounce this serial fraudster who  is sitting at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue pretending to be the president of the United States."

House Minority Leader, Hakeem Jeffries (Dem. NY-8 CD)

FUCK DONALD TRUMP should be on a tee-shirt. That is the way to deal with this...Look at what Hakeem calls him: "So-called president". That goes directly to Trump's illegitimacy; "pretending to be the president"--THE SAME! But FUCK DONALD TRUMP really says it all. Just fuck him. Fuck off Trump. 

I WANT A TEE SHIRT!

FINAL: 

@hornets 126, 

@ATLHawks 119. 

Charlotte wins its ninth in a row for the first time since the 98-99 season. This streak is one shy of a franchise record. Hornets now even in the loss column with the Hawks.

Unreal run for the Bugs.

"AIPAC is not our friend"

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

@AOC

I hope Dems begin to see that moderate or progressive, AIPAC is not our friend.

They endorse January 6th insurrectionists. Yet if you so much as suggest the US uphold its own Leahy laws, no matter your record, they will work against you.

They are a right-wing organization that undermines democracy. They have zero tolerance for any diversity of thought from their line, and pressure elected officials to increasingly place themselves at odds with our responsibility to represent the electorate and the views of the majority of Americans, who find the genocide in Gaza an appalling affront to American values and do not want to see US taxpayer funded weapons used to perpetuate it.

AIPAC also knows this. That’s why none of their political ads discuss their actual issue at all and why they use vaguely named Super PACs so people don’t connect them with their own stated political mission and intent.

Rising Progressive Star Shakes Up Race for Los Angeles Mayor

And ANOTHER one! (This race has NOT been called yet).
               Analilia Mejia, NJ-11 Congress Democratic primary leader

The left smells blood after shocking Democratic primary result


Axios

  • With several thousand provisional and late mail-in still to be counted as of Friday, Mejia led [moderate Dem. Rep. Tom] Malinowski by 500 votes, 28.75% to 27.97%, according to the Associated Press.

  • Mejia trailed many of her opponents in fundraising, bringing in just $420,000 to Malinowski's $1.2 million.

The intrigue: AIPAC spent over $2 million against Malinowski — a mainstream Democrat who had the group's support in the past — for his willingness to condition aid to Israel.


  • The group reportedly favored former Lt. Gov. Tahesha Way, who had support from parts of the Democratic Party establishment.

  • Observers say that created an opening for Mejia, the most prominent progressive in the race, who was endorsed by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and the Progressive Caucus.

  • "AIPAC affiliated groups spent millions," noted one centrist House Democrat when asked about the result. "Wouldn't have even happened without that."

THANK YOU AIPAC!
