I know there have been a fair number of conflicting dates, so, let's organize and settle on February 28th to start.

Market Blackout. No buying. No major retailers. No Amazon.

For one day, we grind consumerism to a halt. (And with a little planning, this shouldn't be hard.)

Let's do it.

Donald Trump’s tariffs will not lower the cost of groceries.

On the campaign trail, he said he has “concepts of plans” to lower costs.

Clearly his only plan is to make Americans pay more at the grocery store and at the pump.

just start saying this plainly to more people

i'm serious.
The constitution quite clearly gives Congress the power of the purse, a power the Executive branch is pretending it now has.

Or did you not pay attention at all in school?

The FAA Administrator criticized Space X’s safety record and threatened fines.

Musk demanded he resign.

He did.

On January 20th.

Few material things can provide perspective. This does for me.

Photo of Otto Frank, returning to his family’s hiding place. In 1944, an informant betrayed them and the family was sent to Auschwitz.

His wife (Edith) was murdered, his daughters (Margot & Anne) died of Typhus.

On the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, we look to our history as a warning against the dangers of antisemitism and intolerance and honor the promise: never again.

Insanity: The deportation flights Trump used military jets for—that Mexico refused to accept—cost the U.S. up to $852,000 per flight to attempt to deport just 80 migrants at a time.

To compare, flights directly chartered by Immigration and Customs Enforcement cost just $8,577.
