@DayneKnite I doubt #Trump will spend one second in jail due to Secret Service protection.
If the #GOP nominate anyone else but #DonaldTrump then #JoeBiden will lose as #Biden is really unpopular in #America 🇺🇸.
Yeah, I am fairly confident that #JoeBiden will win re-election in 2024 thanks to Agent Orange (aka #Trump).

My view is that no other #GOP candidate can beat #Trump in the primary. If they could, #America 🇺🇸 would potentially be screwed as there are some crazy #Republican candidates running.
But most sane who dislike #Biden despise #DonaldTrump even more.

I really like his intro guitar here in the original but by about 14s seconds in, he's pretty much on mute.
He wrote the song. So it's not like "the rest of the band turned his guitar down". Bonus points for anyone who finds me some videos of him actually playing guitar, which he's doing "more than ever" apparently.
OK this really blew away my expectations here.
77-year old guitarist from "America" is still putting it down - with a spine-tingling version of their 80's hit (which I didn't much care for TBH) "You Can Do Magic" - and it only has 24 likes???

DeSantis’s "Leo-World" Ties:
In recent years, #Chris #Jankowski was listed on the board of advisers at #N2 #America, a dark money group designed to boost the GOP’s image in the suburbs. The organization campaigned for schools to resume in-person learning amid the COVID-19 pandemic and boosted the confirmation of Trump’s 2020 Supreme Court nominee, Amy Coney Barrett.
Tax records show N2 America was primarily funded by Leo’s #Concord #Fund, which donated at least $1 million to N2 America between 2020 and 2021. The organization reported raising $1.5 million during that time.
DeSantis’s nascent campaign operation includes several other N2 America alumni.

Why does #America continue to resist #GunControl?
On the face of it, it looks like the toxic influence of the #NRA but in the end from afar it does seem that surely the lack of politic will has deeper roots?
Whatever it is, the death toll from rampant #gunviolence continues to rise; elsewhere countries manage to stop this (indeed even some states - Massachusetts for instance - have reduced fatalities through some further regualtion)...
My American friends, elsewhere this is not normal!
I learned from white evangelicals over ten years ago that they know *exactly* what porn is. Florida has a bigoted government banning *books* like the Nazis did. It has zero to do with children, zero to do w/ porn, but instead building up a white Christian supremacist gov’t. America’s people need to rebel while we can for our future. Organize, be patient, create, strategize, disrupt, get up and try again. Learn from our past.

I know I'm just a Brit who can only sit and be devastated on behalf of my trans sibling due to how far away I am - but I'm seeing loads of people (understandably) leaving places such as florida, due to the anti trans laws being brought in. However, are there any trans folk who are staying in these places who have fundraisers, etc, that I can boost? If there's anything I can share/do online as a Brit (I'm very low income, so sadly cannot donate right now), please let me know. I don't want the people who are staying to feel like they're being left behind or given up on during all of this! Simply leaving is not an option for everyone - so I just want to send solidarity to those staying, regardless of why you're staying as well.
And if there's any amazing work that's going on in these places, please let me know! I'd love to hear if there are people doing work on the ground, so people can hear there is some hope left too

This week Mrs Mike was telling a teenager that getting a criminal record would be a good way of making it difficult or impossible to visit the #USA
His reply was that America is far too dangerous and he wouldn't want to risk going there.
If this is a common attitude it is destroying the reputation of #America for a generation.
@greeneralia It's a strange take. I'd be ecstatic if India and China took greener options towards growth - but significant help and investment has to come from the historically largest polluters - north #America and western #Europe. One cannot benefit from a vice and then put others down into poverty for eternity after they've already got their rewards.
Ofc you can take a "different" approach to poverty alleviation, one that's not tied to "growth" — I don't know what that is.

Here’s another $3 billion in the news (from March)
“(People)…report higher rates of skipping meals, eating less, relying on others for meals and visiting food pantries…
…At the same time, a majority… in all states say they have less than $25 on hand to cover expenses.”
~ Here’s why millions of Americans will lose $3 billion in monthly food stamp benefits starting in March~

As #Transgender #America #struggles, #national #news doesn’t know what or how to write about the topic.
#Reporters run the risk of not successfully #communicating to the #public the sheer #scope and #cruelty of the ongoing attack on #trans #people’s #humanrights

An #anthropologist attends a #CPAC conference ( #conservative #RightWing #America) and reports on their findings of the attitude towards #trans folks.
This being @SAPIENS_org, it is well thought through, fully supportive of trans folks and focused on debunking some of the #myths that the right perpetuate.
I'm really pleased to see serious #academic #writing focused on supporting trans folks. Will the right wing read this? Probably not. Will people who are unaware of the attacks trans folk experience every day read this? Quite probably. Will it help to increase understanding, empathy and allyship? I sincerely hope so.
Tangentially, calling the US a democracy is #propaganda, plain and simple.
Just a note to those who post about "saving American democracy"... the US has never been a democracy, irrespective of what you've been told all your life. If it is legal to buy favorable legislation (via "campaign contributions), then it isn't a democracy. If you can change voting districts to favor one party over another, then it isn't a democracy. And those are just two of many examples.
The US is an oligarchy.
“we are becoming a nation full of a distinct modern form of uncontacted tribes: at once hyperconnected and cut off, addled by propaganda and starved for human contact, convinced that the only good person you don’t know is a dead person you don’t know.”

Arguing with my wife about whether we need to upgrade our health insurance from $1700 a month to $2500 a month just because my youngest might be having health issues and there are no specialists that he needs to see in our current insurance network. All while having not seen a single paycheck in over 3 months now. 🫤 #america #thingsaregoinggreat
America is a Gun
England is a cup of tea.
France, a wheel of ripened brie.
Greece, a short, squat olive tree.
America is a gun.
Brazil is football on the sand.
Argentina, Maradona's hand.
Germany, an oompah band.
America is a gun.
Holland is a wooden shoe.
Hungary, a goulash stew.
Australia, a kangaroo.
America is a gun.
Japan is a thermal spring.
Scotland is a highland fling.
Oh, better to be anything
than America as a gun.

In case you've missed it, because it's not yet making the media much on this side of the Atlantic- have a look for news about #ClarenceThomas and the improbably named #HarlanCrow- a #legal story from #America with a plot and characters which would make John Grisham blush
What Jack Teixeira's chat group said means the alleged leaker was neither for war nor against it; neither for the #US nor against it; neither for #Russian aggression nor against it; neither for #Ukraine’s desperate fight for land and sovereignty nor against it.
It leads one to wonder what such a complete lack of bias on affairs of the day says about someone? Not just someone in the world’s richest country but anyone? American or not, what sort of individual wouldn’t care about an existential battle between survival and naked aggression? How far #America has come from the moral courage of Daniel Ellsberg in 1971 and the principled position taken by Edward #Snowden in 2009. https://www.rashmee.com/2023/04/14/intelligence-leak-america-ellsberg-snowden/
I read people saying "Geez, I'm afraid America might be becoming fascist!" and I sort of think, "You mean the America that arrested Billy Holiday in the hospital and chained her to her bed until she died? That America?" and I think geez that would sure be terrible if that ever happened to America. #america #jazzhistory #fascism
