@ddale8 Thank you! Question for US news media — Why is a Canadian journalist doing the consistently best job in calling out @realDonaldTrump ‘s lies? #ImpeachDonaldTrumpNOW #TrumpLies

Many countries around the world, including Japan and the Philippines here, are standing up to Chinese bullying of Taiwan. But the U.S., under President Trump, seems too busy threatening Venezuela and bombing empty fields in Nigeria to notice this threat to international peace.
It is clear that PLA military exercises, whatever name they call it, are unjust and unjustified. Many thanks to like-minded partners around the world. True justice is with peace & solidarity against aggression.

In 2026, I call on leaders everywhere: Get serious. Choose people and planet over pain. A safer world begins by investing more in fighting poverty and less in fighting wars. Peace must prevail.

top jazz saxophonist on canceling concert at "Trump Kennedy Center": "I would never even consider performing in a venue bearing a name that represents overt racism and deliberate destruction of African American music and culture."

Jazz supergroup the Cookers scrapped their New Year’s Eve shows at the center days after a Christmas Eve concert was called off. Other acts have followed suit.

One of the purposes of the Immigration Act of 1924 was to shut out Italian immigrants, who were considered non-white. So deep was the stigma that Dino Paul Crocetti changed his name to Dean Martin to be more acceptable in show business.
Watched the Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra Family Christmas with my kids. Imagine watching that and thinking America needed infinity migrants from the third world.

The fact that Trump’s DOJ was covering up the Epstein files and tracking the journalists reporting on them, should tell you everything you need to know about who they are protecting.
Does somebody at the DOJ want to tell me why my American Airlines booking information and flights in July 2019 are part of the Epstein files (attached to a grand jury subpoena)? As the flight itinerary includes my maiden name (and I did book this flight) why was the DOJ

This is musician Chuck Redd, the host of the annual Kennedy Center Christmas Eve jazz concert. He cancelled the event after Trump's insulting move to change the name of the historic venue. RETWEET to thank Redd for standing up to Trump!

Rather than shuttling detainees around the country to wherever detention space is available, ICE aims to speed up deportations by renovating industrial warehouses to hold more than 80,000 immigrant detainees at a time, according to a draft solicitation. https://t.co/JWOhJjBUav

It's a sign of our deep national malaise and shamelessness that Americans are not constantly humiliated that Italy -- Italy!!!! -- is utterly lapping us on transportation technology and infrastructure. Italy. You know, the country that hasn't had a stable government in 75 years.
Rome just opened a subway line next to one of the world’s most historically significant sites at $660 million per mile. So yes, this country should be building metro lines all over at normal costs.

Thank you, Chuck Redd. The law explicitly prohibits the board of trustees from making the center into a memorial to anyone else, and from putting another person's name on the building's exterior.
The show's host, musician Chuck Redd, says that he called off the performance in the wake of the White House announcing last week that President Donald Trump's name would be added to the facility.

WTAF?????????
This is insane: FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr announced that they will be hiring a "bias monitor" at CBS "who would report directly to the President." State run TV is officially here. Make sure everyone sees this. https://t.co/VFq3vd4SxC

This journalist is bravely speaking truth to power. . . A test of whether or not we still have freedom of the press in the U.S.. Walter Cronkite would be appalled to see what’s happening to his network! Please retweet if you agree! @CBSNews @60Minutes
🚨NEW: Republicans are calling for the firing of 60 Minutes journalist Sharon Alfonsi, who called out CBS News chief Bari Weiss for cancelling her segment on Trump’s inhumane deportations. RETWEET if you stand with Alfonsi against the GOP!

CBS didn’t want us to see this — but it was broadcast in Canada and recorded to share in the link below. Please watch and share.
