I explained it to several young teens today: imagine we wanted you to become more self-sufficient in the kitchen, so we decided to charge you $20 every time you got takeout. But also we have no food in the house, we won't let you go to the store, and also you don't know how to cook.
you have to be genuinely stupid as fuck to think american companies are going to respond to tariffs by building factories and moving manufacturing to the US. i don't know how else to say it. you have to be genuinely braindead

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

Allow me to summarize President Mump's speech last night.
"I'm great, lie, lie, Gulf of America, lie, tariffs, Canada bad, lie, lie, Pocahontas, Biden bad, lie, eggs, Musk cutting, lie, balance budget by mid terms, lie, lie, lie..."
In other words, typical Trump nonsense.

Also, Zelenskyy addressed the clothing issue perfectly when he referred to suits as "costumes". He and his country are in a war. He is making a point by not using his privilege of being able to leave the warzone as an opportunity to dress up in the costumes of the privileged.

Everything he says about deportation camps on military bases is spot on—and alarming. But don’t get thrown off by the name Blackwater. It’s still out there—rebranded.
Blackwater became Xe in 2009, then Academi in 2011, before merging into Constellis in 2014. The name changed but the op lives on.

During the US governors ball, the US Army Choir surrounded the MAGA leadership and sang: "Do
You Hear The People Sing"
The oligarchs didn’t even realize they were being protested. #3E #USprotest #EndOligarchy
