As someone who studies the language and writing of abusive parenting pedagogies I gotta say this tariff stuff feels like an enraged father hurting his children while telling them “I do this because I love you”.

That's right, Cory Booker is thanking his staff who obviously have been prepping for several days and planning/preparing for this moment. They did a great job. No Dr. Seuss books needed, this man went out and PREACHED for a full freaking day and he had the receipts. All thanks to his staff.

These are bold and wild allegations from the FBI, which is moving to criminalize organizations like Habitat for Humanity for receiving grants from the EPA.
In a court filing, Citibank disclosed that it had been directed by the FBI to freeze the bank accounts of these groups.

Here’s my pep talk after studying authoritarianism:
1). They never truly expect a long-term resistance movement bc they think people are a collection of trauma triggers who are easily controlled thru terror
2). If they can’t terrorize you 24/7 in your mind, they have already lost the war

Breaking: A federal judge sides with Washington, Oregon, and Minnesota and has just blocked Trump's anti-trans EO banning care under the age of 19 via a TRO.
This is the second federal judge in a row to conclude that the President's EO is likely unconstitutional.
