Call me Little Mary Sunshine, but I think this tariff fiasco is going to fuck him up. That plus the risk to Social Security/Medicaid. People *should* care about extralegal kidnappings, attacks on universities & law firms, all the fascist sickness, but they don’t. Financial chaos can break through

My dear friend’s niece, who in October developed sepsis when a Georgia hospital refused her a D&C after a miscarriage, will be taken off life support tomorrow.
I don’t know the names of the countless others who have suffered and will suffered because of anti-abortion laws.
But her name was Haley.

Those who condemn only the killing of Israeli kids.
Those who condemn only the killing of Palestinian kids.
And those of us who condemn the killing of both.

You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?
Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.
