Trump promised the tariffs would help lower grocery bills. Dept. of agriculture has money from tariffs and he is barring them from using that money to fund SNAP. Tell everyone who voted for him (the not-rich ones, the rich ones don't care). Also, ball rooms easily funded. Hungry kids, nah.

Murderers. They are simply and disgustingly murderers. Our "leaders".

They are murdering people for no cause. This is totally illegal and deeply immoral. The international community should rise up against Hegseth and Trump immediately. Every newspaper should be screaming. Instead, we quietly note another boat goes down. They are manufacturing crisis at home and war.

So we’re now paying federal taxes so Donald Trump can withdraw them from the Treasury like it’s his own personal bank account? Really?

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.
I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.
Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

About the outrage over Klein's oped: He is clearly afraid for his own life. That's what is driving the oped. I would be too if I were a very public pundit right now who had JUST called for the shut down of the government in response to Trump fascism.

These are the names of the people who have died in US immigration custody over the past year, almost all under 50 yrs. old, some in their 20s. This list does not include those who died running from ICE.

One year ago today.
Trump: “In Springfield, they’re eating the dogs, the people that came in. They’re eating the cats. They’re eating—they’re eating the pets of the people that live there.”
Everything he referred to was fake.

One year ago this week (tomorrow) was this moment in which Trump alleged immigrants were "eating the dogs" and "eating the cats."
He was then elected president. This is your president.

I know people are overwhelmed by too much news from every angle, and maybe people are distracted by the "terrorist" language, or just plain exhausted.
But this is the President of the United States saying he is going to go around killing people because he thinks they're criminals. And already did.

Trump: "When I see boats coming in like loaded up the other day with all sorts of drugs -- probably fentanyl mostly -- we're gonna take them out. And if people wants to have fun on the high seas of the low seas they're gonna be in trouble."

We should mock this miserable, doddering, old man.
And we should have our eyes wide open that he is openly telling us he will undermine our free and fair elections by attacking mail-in voting and advancing gerrymandering in red states.
He's a fascist. Take this literally and seriously.

Trump: "When you go to a voting booth, and you do it the right way, and you go to a state that runs it properly, you go in -- they even asked me, they asked me for my license plate. I said, 'I don't know if I have it.' They said, 'Sir, you have to have it.' I was very impressed actually."

Nazism is optics and aesthetics on one side, torture and death on the other. These two sides are indivisible. Note Trump's obsession with things being "beautiful": walls, women, streets, mansions, bills, etc.

New— Nazis with giant swastika flags marched in downtown Indianapolis on Saturday with two police escorts. They shouted “white power” and said to the woman who took this video (reshared here with her permission) “fuck you, n***** bitch.”
Police did not intervene. I cannot find local news coverage.

And having said that: Hundreds of thousands in the streets IS HUGE. Something like a quarter of the population involved some way or another IS HUGE.
