I think all of that is deeply concerning.
I like people who are kind, value diversity and know how to have a good time.

Not sure what’s most alarming fact, that the administration doesn’t appear to know what the boat it blew up was carrying or where it was headed, that they haven’t identified a legal authority for the action, or that it’s the first in a series of planned attacks. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/u...

I’m not a New Yorker, but I like this man. He has such positive energy, is well spoken, seems very sincere and has some good ideas to solve problems. Let’s face it. We need new leaders with different strategies. The status quo is not working.

Extrajudicial killings and possibly of random civilians. Why was it necessary even if they were confirmed drug traffickers? Why not apprehend them to get to their kingpins instead?

This is important. The first 24 hours of press coverage fumbled the ball. But the US just murdered 11 people in international waters. Analogies to the US’s (highly suspect, morally and legally) targeted killings of suspect terrorists don’t work. This crossed their own lines, and they know it.

I feel you. It is totally crazy. Who wants their kid to get polio or measles. And the kids are at the mercy of their parents some of whom will decide not to vaccinate them.
Audrey (@audreygv.bsky.social) reply parent
I would not surprise me. It seems like they put little thought into this and I don’t even think they know who was in the boat. At least they have not provided that information.
Audrey (@audreygv.bsky.social) reply parent
Pretty sure they will regret this decision soon enough and it is so irresponsible for public health officials to be recommending this.

"Go to an old cemetery. See all the baby graves from before the 1950s & 60s? After that, hardly any. That's when people started vaccinating their children. If you're unsure what to do to protect your kids, the answer is literally written in stone." — Michael Okuda How quick we forget.

That’s the thing with this guy is he usually backs down if you strongly confront him on his bullying like JB Pritzker is doing. Congress and other governors should pay attention and stand up like he’s doing.

I can’t believe this guy is in a position to protect public health. He’s going to get kids killed. I have a friend who is a polio survivor. She can’t walk. Do people really want that for their children?

When people say "We used to drink raw milk from our own cow and it was fine," That's... usually not the case! In families w their own cow, the mom usually boiled it before using. We just forgot bc that's a boring chore that mom did. And who pays attention to that? youtu.be/vKDPast9WFk

I feel bad for the kids whose parents choose not to vaccinate them.

It’s not just that the President of the United States posted a video of eleven people being murdered in international waters it’s that the President of the United States ordered the murder of eleven people in international waters so he could post a video of it.

Trump is such a malicious bastard. He fired immigration judges, leaving immigrants stuck in limbo, at constant risk of being kidnapped by ICE thugs. Now the Pentagon has authorized up to 600 military lawyers who have no experience with immigration law to serve as judges. This can't end well.

Must-read piece for Europeans still clinging to the hope that Trump will do the right thing eventually in a European crisis: he won't. He supports authoritarians abroad because he wants to be one of them at home. Protecting democracy anywhere is not on his agenda.

also, what do you think people conclude when they hear you say Donald Trump is a "wannabe king" who is "attacking the American people" (both true things Jeffries has said) and also that you want to find common ground with him? Probably that your criticisms are insincere or that you're weak or both

The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.
