Frum: What a tariff is, is the equivalent of hitting yourself in the head. And he’s saying to the world: “We will not stop hitting ourselves in the head unless you all agree to hit yourselves in the head.”

A military parade for a geriatric fake tough guy with piss-tone cotton candy hair, the complexion of an Ooompa Loompa, and the muscle tone of a wet nerf ball. Awesome.

Boasberg:

"Absent this relief, the Government could snatch anyone off the street, turn him over to a foreign country, and then effectively foreclose any corrective course of action."

An unassailable point.

The fact that the U.S. government is fighting this tells you what you need to know.
Significant ruling by Judge Boasberg for men sent to CECOT prison.

"The Government must facilitate the Class’s ability to seek habeas relief to contest their removal under the Act."

Important moment for the rule of law and against government lawlessness.

It's tough to refer to someone as a criminal if you've given them no due process to determine whether they're a criminal. Like if you get arrested and get a trial and are convicted of 34 felony counts. That's due process. You can call that guy a criminal.

We left England over separation of church & state
Now they want no separation & they want everyone to be Christian nationalist.

We had a revolution over an unfair tax/tariff on tea
Now we have unfair tarriffs on everything & we're supposed be ok with that 🤬

Counterterrorism Czar: Opposing Trump’s policies is aiding and abetting terrorists — a felony.

Your reminder that Hitler’s first concentration camp, Dachau, was built to imprison leaders of political, social, and cultural movements who opposed the Nazis.

I have had issues & been hearing from people having trouble just ACCESSING their Social Security accounts. INSTEAD of going to a branch which may be hundreds or 1Ks+ of miles away from you, call your members of Congress. They have constituent services that will help you regain access.

Please SHARE!

Pretty rich to see the party that treated wearing masks in respiratory pandemic as an egregious assault on personal freedom now telling the masses that they have to make big sacrifices so that the billionaires can pay less taxes.

Closing rural post offices will do the same thing that closing rural schools has done: Empty out rural towns.

Why? To sell off farmland for rock bottom prices to the oligarchs. Water and mineral rights and CAFOs polluting with impunity.

It’s been the plan for decades.
