Given that the mass deportation efforts underway, the increasing barriers to work visas, and the tarrifs are all supposed to be improving the employment opportunities for US citizens, the increase in the unemployment rate shows just how badly this administration‘s policies are roiling the economy.

There's more dog & cat biomass on Earth than all wildlife mammal biomass on land. The livestock food of pets destroys the last habitats and kills the last wildlife animals left.

To be fair, this is also the entire response for all those in this country who oppose gun control.
The orange felon’s response to the deadly Brown University mass shooting is, “things can happen.”
What an evil immoral criminal piece of shit, he should be in jail, not in the White House. The world is so much darker under his tyranny.

I’ve asked my Ohio govt reps to speak out against the vilification of Somali-origin immigrants by the Whitehouse, and to offer these immigrants their full support. So far I haven’t noticed they’ve done that yet. Have I missed it? #ohiosky

The Pentagon failed 7 audits in a row and is being rewarded with $900 billion dollars.
That’s tax payer money.
Remember this the next time they say there’s too much “waste fraud and abuse” in SNAP and Medicaid.
If there’s $900 billion for war, we can afford to feed people & provide healthcare.
