So no matter what, tariffs add costs to our citizens & raise inflation

And when tariffs may be lowered or rescinded on certain items, it's not as straightforward as it seems, as you can see in the passage pictured below

All while defunding PBS/NPR

Pls be judicious on social.

Be aware of who owns whom and how bias could creep in. (Tallahassee as example, pics below tell story)

And pls support #NPR / #PBS, one of last major bastions for news accuracy. Standing strong, but struggling amidst the funding cuts.

They so similar to German Brownshirts in late 1920's/early 30's.
First. ICE purposefully recruits disturbed ppl, then thier disturbed actions attract like-minded others.

You could say publicity is a recruitment tool, but pub is also vital so the rest of country knows what's going on & can counter

Tired? Worn out? Afraid?

We all are.

But it's imperative you do what you can (while still taking care of your health & fam, just not using as an excuse to do nothing)

The degree to which ICE resembles the Brownshirts/Stormtroopers/SA of late 20s/early 30s in Nazi Germany is striking.

Brutality to create intimidation is the point; the propensity towards violence seems to be a hiring requirement 2/3

The CAPE is really high, but does it mean anything abt tomo? Or the next 6 months?

But on the other hand, the market can remain irrational a helluva lot longer than it should

We knew that T didn't give a shit abt anyone not fully lining up behind him back in 2018, when he rapidly escalated his references to HUMAN SCUM from

* dissenting political R's ("RINOs")
* then any R not fully committed
* then anyone & everyone who opposed him, including all D's
