I promise you that the government that murdered Alex Pretti and Renee Good does not give a flying fuck about the protests in Iran.

I’m sick and tired of politicians sending other people’s kids to fight and die in endless wars.
It’s not D.C. politicians whose lives get put at risk.
It’s not their billionaire donors’.
It’s working class kids.
Enough.
After calling for a new world order without the U.S., 🇨🇦 folds to the very policy that humiliates it and attacks its sovereignty. No new wars!
Europe folded like a kebab—thankfully, the European Union rode in to rescue liberal democracy.
Between lines, @bloomberg.com suggests that Bukele may be expecting Trump to bail him out—just as he did with Argentina—and sidestep the IMF: "(R) question of whether El Salvador may ditch the IMF program altogether and, instead, rely on the US as financial backer"

After blood, sweat, and snow, the people of Minnesota, along with the solidarity of the people of the US, forced ICE to leave Minnesota. Abolish and dismantle ICE.

Bad Bunny’s halftime show proves the enduring power of the American Dream myth. Much of it is fiction, but the part that may be real is the elasticity of U.S. identity. Bad Bunny is a U.S. citizen, singing in Spanish, breaking viewership records. This cultural elasticity is what made me leave Europe
If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.
Democracy dies in oligarchy.
ukele even volunteered to violate a court order by accepting deported Venezuelan migrants and Kilmar Abrego into CECOT—El Salvador’s mega-prison—If Democrats win Cong, expect congressional hearings and oversight missions to El Salvador.

If DeMS retake Congress and the White House, U.S. policy toward Argentina, Chile, and Honduras likely won’t change much—there’s bipartisan consensus . Bukele is different: DEMS see him as partisan operator and a cheap Trump mercenary meddling in U.S.

Due to El Salvador’s lack of importance, egocentric Bukele relies on right-wing influencers close to Trump to brand him an “ally.” The country’s only real “advantage” is smoke and mirrors—an image built on fear and propaganda photos of mass incarceration.
People compare Bukele to Milei, Noboa, Kast or Asfura. But among them, Bukele has the weakest relationship with Washington. Why? He bet everything on Trump’s orbit, bypassed traditional conservatives (exception Rubio) and moderates, and turned Democrats into enemies 🧵

I get why Bad Bunny scares some people. He breaks hegemonic boxes: American from the territories, singing in Spanish—the first European language spoken in the U.S.—and one of the most popular artists in the world. His words matter more than millions of social-media propagandists
BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.
Not surprised by the cruely. Yet, find hope in solidarity shown by those who, even without direct involvement, stand up for humanity, justice, and democracy: “More than 34,000 Minnesotans have signed up to be trained as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement observers”

This is eerily reminiscent of Chile’s Caravan of Death, when paramilitary forces roamed the country hunting dissidents after the 1973 coup.

The arrest of Don Lemon is yet another alarming attack by the Trump administration on Americans’ First Amendment rights.
A free press is fundamental to democracy. This is unacceptable & we will continue to fight back. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
Who killed Alex Pretti?
Former CNN anchor Don Lemon arrested by federal agents in Los Angeles
Although El Salvador can’t pay the $1B membership fee to Trump’s Board of Peace, I’m beginning to suspect that Bukele secured his membership by allowing the U.S to tutelage its trade from Washington
Bukele signed a trade deal with the US so extreme even his worst critics wouldn’t have imagined it: the U.S. can export anything it wants and basically control El Salvador’s trade and technology. The US gives nothing. Imagine if a Dem wins in 2028…🧵

Despite its black legend and attacks from MAGA, California is the fourth-largest economy in the world, larger than Japan and India and close to Germany. And it has only 40 million inhabitants.

- In the US, the narrative behind immigration is still a popular one, unlike Europe, where nativism and colonial nostalgia are ingrained in the social fabric.
The United States is your home, dear children of color. You have every right to live in peace and surrounded by love. Always remember, you must be cherished and valued as beloved children of God.
Gov. Gavin Newsom of California called global leaders "pathetic" on Tuesday for failing to stand up to President Trump amid his push to acquire Greenland, saying that Europeans needed to have a "backbone."

Europe’s superiority complex has undermined its effectiveness
Trump is horrible, but Canadian nationalism sucks as well.
After years living in Scandinavia and Germany, those 9-month cold, dark winters are the one thing I miss the least. Nothing beats Southern California.
Resisting authoritarianism is an American tradition
