Resistance is resilience:

Exercise

Do those healthy things that bring you joy and pleasure.

Find creative outlets for one’s energy

Learn how to be comfortable in the discomfort.

Talk to strangers.

Democracy is something you do, practice, and nurture.

We have elected the digital village idiot president.

These tariffs on our closest trading partners that we have intwined our economy with are only going to hurt the American public, and our neighbors. Our president was the one who replaced NAFTA with the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement.

I can’t see how this position helps the U.S. government when it comes to the need for a preliminary injunction. One of the factors is “irreparable harm”. If the government’s own claim is that it has no recourse once people are in El Salvador, even by mistake, it’s conceding that factor
It sure looks like they’re going all in on the “the executive branch can ignore court orders if it thinks the court lacks jurisdiction” thing

The president is running our economy like one of his failed business ventures. Only this time, the American people have to foot the bill and face the consequences of his reckless decisions.

It’s weird* that the president can just decide to put a huge tax on American businesses without congress even being a little bit involved.

* very unconstitutional

This is part of what’s so insane. As they talk about re-shoring and manufacturing they are actively trying to destroy an entire us manufacturing industry that already exists.

Incredible. The Trump administration calculated "tariff rates" by taking the US trade deficit with the respective country and dividing it by the country's exports to the US. And then the tariff rate of the US is often just set by cutting that made-up "tariff rate" in half.
