There was a flurry of news about tariffs. It passed. The real consequences will hit US consumers around Memorial Day. Important then to remind everyone of cause and effect.

100%
And we need to organize to make our abolitionist demands a reality.
I truly believe most people’s would support it - if we can cut through the nationalist/capitalist fog we’ve all been living in our entire lives.

There's another issue here though which is that defund the police and to a lesser extent abolish ICE were the more reformist slogans adopted to have a broader popular appeal electorally instead of abolish the police and abolish the border
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Controversial take: I hate what the tariffs will do to folx who are struggling to get their needs met, AND if this results in all of us examining our overconsumption fetish, I won’t be sad. We don’t *need* gadgets and cheap clothing from the global south

Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation.
I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

Musk’s staffers are now forcing federal employees at several agencies including the FAA to sign non-disclosure agreements. The goal is simple: silence the resistance through more threats and now, forced agreements. Maybe we’re not supposed to be talking about being forced to sign NDAs… oops, lol.

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.
