Just watched the President's "Liberation Day" speech.
Based on this, I can confirm many Americans will be liberated from:
- Being able to afford groceries
- Much of their retirement savings
- Any hope of buying a home
As for lower prices? Just the opposite.

Watching Trump's speech on tarrifs, it's idiotic madness. Boycott as many American products as you can. You don't need to achieve anywhere close to 100% coverage to be effective. Think twice and pick a non-US alternative if possible. The future is European.

Trump Says He’s ‘Not Joking’ About Seeking a Third Term in Defiance of Constitution
President Trump, in an interview with NBC News, said there were “methods” that would allow a third term. The 22nd Amendment prohibits a person from being elected to more than two terms as president.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.
More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.
I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

We are watching Trump make the same mistakes Neville Chamberlain made in 1938 with the Munich Agreement. Russia is in a war time economy that it cannot stop, otherwise it's economy will collapse entirely. US may withdraw from NATO. Bleak times. Here's to hoping for a revival of European strength.

Monumental step towards true, America-independent collective security between 🇳🇴🇬🇧 today. The Brits trained our resistance fighters under Nazi occupation, and helped liberating us from tyranny. I'm glad to see the solidarity continue against the current facist threat (on both sides of the Atlantic)
