NEW from me:

The US is losing blue-collar jobs for the first time since early COVID or the Great Recession—the country has lost 65k jobs over the last year as manufacturing, transport, & mining employment decline, while growth in construction has nearly zeroed out

Vile, unhinged, gutter racism, the kind of horrifying attacks that literally everyone must rally to oppose
NYT: “.. Even for Mr. Trump — who has a long history of insulting Black people, particularly those from African countries — his outburst was shocking in its unapologetic bigotry.”

“As I have often said, Trump is hired to break things, it is his apex skill; besides predation, which is not an attribute but a malignant character defect for which he has spent a lifetime evading any real accountability. I hope that changes soon.” open.substack.com/pub/noelcasl...
'Mr. Bad Example'
As we approach the one year anniversary of Trump’s awful and ignoble re-election it feels as our country has been left out in the rain to rust and rot.

How can we let ICE take our neighbors?

How can we let them brutalize grannies, grandpas & pregnant women?

How can we let them ziptie little children?

This Dolores Huerta video must go viral.

There are atrocities being committed in our name with our taxpayer dollars!

Don't be silent!

A new KFF study reports: 24 million Americans will see their health care premiums under the Affordable Care Act DOUBLE.

Further, 15 million people will be thrown off their health care entirely.
 
Unacceptable. We can’t subject millions of Americans to this unnecessary suffering.

It's difficult to imagine Trump ruling any country other than America. If he did, he would be an international pariah. But because he is the President of the United States, foreign leaders are forced to pretend that he isn't an absolute lunatic. It's really something
Trump to the UN: "I'm really good at this stuff. Your countries are going to hell."

I just don’t understand how they write these milquetoast headlines.

If Trump isn’t impeached for this, what is to stop him from simply murdering all the migrants that ICE kidnaps, for being “invaders,” just like Hitler murdered the Jews by labeling them as Germany’s mortal enemy?
