⬆️ >>>> The protests were not perfect. Anecdotally and observationally, they were very #white—not exactly representative of the #Democratic coalition.

>> Might that be because #POC are more likely to be arrested than #white people during protests?

Yes! There's always that danger in a society so openly #racist.

I am a PoC myself. That's why I linked to #CivicSolidarity — #Cops kept #protesters safe! #BlackMastodon

#Chicago has a significant population of #BlackPeople and other #POC. I took hundreds of pictures, some of which are in this thread ➡️ mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/1. It was obvious that #BlackAmerican community was underrepresented.

#Chicago #HandsOff #Protests If there is a single poster that sums up today's protests, it has to be this, which says "It's YOU. You're the Problem. Everybody Agrees!" With so many "Hands Off This, Hands Off That," "This Right and That Right," and one that even tells the American President to "Stop the Attack on the American People," it is clear that there are many voices, but they are not discordant. If #Trump has riled up SO MANY Americans even before his 100 days are up, HE IS THE PROBLEM

A federal appeals court blocked #Trump from removing #Democratic members from 2 federal #labor boards on Monday, setting aside its earlier ruling.

The decision by the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit further complicates a pair of cases that are emerging as key tests of Trump's efforts to bring under his control #FederalAgencies meant to be #independent from the White House.

Some #Republicans are pushing back on #tariffs and one quite loudly.

Will it work? That remains to be seen butI predict that this will affirm the fear of many #Republican voters leading to them calling & writing to their own #Senators & #Representatives. That & the wave of #Democratic might *make* a difference. How much these leaders care about their own ellectorate is unclear, but they *do* care about their own #power & #prestige.

Economy in pieces, ruined family, savings of a life burnt,
(and that's a litte taste of what is to come)
#trump? is to play golf

I hear: 'Imagine if #Obama or #Biden had behaved like Trump ...'

Americans 😆
still think they live in the #Democratic 'times' of Obama and Biden
in wich the POTUS could be held accountable ...
Today America is under a plutocratic #dictatorship
The 'supreme leader' is 'above' of the once called "We the people"
today to be referred as miserable irrelevant peasant.

If I worked for #Putin, all I’d want to see happen in the US is:

—> Get rid of competent leadership in the #military, and everywhere else

—> Destroy American domination of world #trade, driving allies to turn to #Russia

—> Enfeeble the US #economy

—> Divide the American people

—> Weaken #democracy and #democratic institutions

It’s almost like the titular #President of the United States is under the control of the dictator of Russia.

The best '#justice' that money can buy.

But this is up to the #American people - ther sale their consequences. Whether it is a #Republican or a #Democratic 'win' your demcracy (or whatever is left of it) is clearly not owned by the people. Whether it serves the people is another question again.

>> What happened with Ukraine is a mirror image of what happened with Israel and it helpfully exposes your hypocrisy.

No, it puts your and #Israel's ungratefulness on full display for the world to see.

If #Leiter was able to acknowledge #Biden's contributions, why can't you?

Biden and the #Democratic Party paid dearly for supporting a dear ally, who, in turn, exposed themselves as #ingrate, full of bloodlust, seeking 2000lb bombs to bomb tunnels holding Israeli and American hostages.

>> There's plenty to disagree in this article…

Unlike what the author says, democracy did suddenly disappear once #Trump was re-elected.

But, there is plenty to agree as well.

Like, this could not have happened without the connivance of the #Democratic Party —

1. #Biden explicitly directed #Garland to ease Trump investigation ➡️ nbcnews.com/politics/justice-d

2. #Schumer is the weakest link. Wants to make sure everyone ELSE is fighting, so he’s not at risk ➡️ thenation.com/article/politics

The nations that has been able to exploit earth resources is now demanding even more resources. #Putin and #Trump is aggressive towards neighboring countries and allies because they want their resources . #China uses not so obvious or violent tactics but they are also exploiting weaker nations.

The countries that now is on top of the resource chain demands even more. It is not #sustainable and a common denominator is the lack of #democratic control.
