“It says something about the Trump administration that the German government is lecturing the U.S. government about the dangers of right-wing extremism.” 😕

@petergleick Trump: claims an incredibly bad photoshopped Image of Kilmar Abrego Garcia's hand is authentic and - just a week later - posts an AI generated fake image of himself in papal attire ... WTF!?
"ignorance is bliss" is the #TrumpRegime 's aim for the wider national audience. Research on, for example, spread of misinformation stands in the way. #science #communication #antiscience

Republicans have yet to realise that NOTHING what currently happens is conservative policy.
Conservatism is about promoting and preserving existing institutions and favouring evolution over revolution.
Laying of government employees without having replacements, maming the economy for the sake of yet-to-be-negotiated trade deals, alienating existing allies without having found new ones - a real conservative would never act in such a reckless manner.
Does a 5th grader run the Social Media account for the White House?

Marco Rubio all but admits, that Republicans are a RW extremist, autocratic political party, as he admonishes the German Foreign Office for labeling the AfD as an RW extremist party & standing for the Constitution, the rule of law, democracy, & protecting immigrants' rights.

"Border agents posted at Tucson maternity ward to quickly deport migrant mom."
The woman🚨will be given the choice of whether she wants to take her newborn, a US citizen born Wed, with her when she is deported.
But #DHS officers, who're posted outside the woman's Tucson MED CEN hospital room, are🚨refusing to let the new mother speak to a lawyer, as she's requested.
The #TrumpRegime is heartless & depraved.

"If this doesn’t get resolved, and please note another week just came and went without even pretend deals with allies like Japan, there is a very simple question:
How can we possibly avoid🚨recession?
How is it mathematically possible?"

"Here's an example of USCIS "putting American ppl first"🚨-throwing the husband of a US citizen into #ICE detention because he was ordered deported in 2018 when he was a 15-yr-old in 2018."

Wrongful #deportations by the #TrumpRegime are escalating. If it's heartbreaking to read,💔one can only imagine what it's like for their families. This cruelty is unimaginable, until one realizes that Trump's always been depraved, & he's surrounded himself with like-minded monsters.
"Fearing deportation,💔a beloved music teacher gives a final lesson"
Is the US better off because a beloved local music teacher has decided to leave the country before Trump strips his status & potentially imprisons him?
I'd say the answer is NO. The🚨anti-immigrant agenda impoverishes us. We lose out when people like him leave."

Some of our revered neighbors are being "disappeared" by the #TrumpRegime.

So sad that this four year old Brexit slogan could be repurposed so soon - particularly since this U.S. administration creates one Brexit a day.
Probably surprising nobody🤨

"Donald Trump and his political allies in Washington have undertaken far-sweeping actions to undermine the foundations of American democracy, while simultaneously pursuing policies that erode and disrupt eight decades of trust and cooperation with democratic allies in Europe, North America and Asia.
While leaders in these countries grapple with what is happening in Trump’s America, they must now ask themselves a new and critical question of immense relevance – one that has never been asked before in the modern era:
'As nations who were helped by America in world war two and who have depended on the United States for our security, do we now have an obligation to reciprocate and help tens of millions of Americans whose liberty is threatened? Should we – can we – do anything to help the American people in their moment of democratic peril?'
Yes. I firmly believe that the European Union, the United Kingdom, Canada and Japan have a historic obligation to the American people to do what they can to help us preserve our democracy. An America descending into authoritarianism also poses a threat to the democracies they lead.
(. .. .)
European, Canadian and Japanese leaders are having a difficult time adjusting to this new American reality. The muscle memory of 80 years of intense cooperation, and in some cases dependency on the United States, is very difficult to break.
I know the questions these leaders must be asking in private: is the United States becoming our adversary and perhaps our enemy? Will we be alone in our battle against the authoritarians in Russia and China? Will Trump and Elon Musk use governmental power and immense personal wealth to undermine our own democracies by encouraging the growth of far-right, anti-democratic forces in our countries? How can we protect ourselves when the wealthiest and most powerful country in the world is in rapid retreat from justice, from economic reality, from science, from policies that protect global health, while it aggressively pursues actions that accelerate dangerous atmospheric warming to the detriment of all?"

"The Trump administration has frozen $250 million in grants to a nonprofit helping companies replace diesel trucks at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, part of a broad federal effort to claw back $20 billion in green energy funding.
The program by Climate United, announced last October, would offer affordable leases for new electric heavy-duty trucks operated by small fleets and individual truckers serving the ports.
Communities near the ports, including Wilmington, San Pedro and Long Beach, have been battling for years to clean up noxious fumes that waft into their neighborhoods from the long lines of trucks carrying cargo to and from the massive ports."
