Neil Young has called out US President Donald Trump for making America a "disaster", and called on US citizens to "rise up" in peaceful protests against his regime. Young delivered his acerbic condemnation of Trump in a strongly worded editorial piece on the Times Contrarian section of his website.
Gustavo Petro thought this past week that at any moment an assault force could land on the roof of the Casa de Nariño, the Colombian presidential residence, and burst into his office. He doesn’t have a bunker to run to, as Nicolás Maduro tried to do a week ago before he was captured and placed on a helicopter bound for the United States. The 65-year-old Colombian president felt threatened by Donald Trump’s insinuations that something similar could happen to him. The U.S. president has variously called Petro a drug addict, a thug, a drug trafficker, and a front man for Maduro. He has added him to the Clinton List — a red list of individuals and companies linked by Washington to drug trafficking — and revoked his visa. Petro, meanwhile, says he clung to “the people” as a shield against the army with the greatest firepower in history, and to Simón Bolívar’s sword, kept as a relic close to him.

Το μήνυμα του Τραμπ στο Κολοράντο είναι απλό: συμμορφωθείτε ή τιμωρηθείτε – και εμπιστευτείτε τον με δική σας ευθύνη
Άποψη του Γιάννη Δαμέλλου

Ο Κυβερνήτης του Κολοράντο, Τζάρεντ Πόλις, μπορεί να είναι ένας άνθρωπος της δράσης με γνήσια αγάπη για την πολιτεία του, αλλά η τρέχουσα πορεία του εγείρει σοβαρά ερωτήματα σχετικά με την κρίση του. Αν και εδώ και καιρό έχει τοποθετηθεί ως ένας μετριοπαθής προς προοδευτικός, συστημικός Δημοκρατικός, στον τελευταίο του χρόνο στην εξουσία ο Πόλις φαίνεται πρόθυμος να διακινδυνεύσει αυτή την ταυτότητα εξετάζοντας την απονομή χάριτος στην καταδικασμένη πρώην υπάλληλο της Κομητείας Μέσα, Τίνα Πίτερς, μια εξέχουσα μορφή του νεοφασιστικού κινήματος άρνησης των εκλογών του 2020.
