You can’t debate cruelty. You can only confront it. This isn’t about imagined injustices MAGA suffered; it’s about punishing others for a loss of unearned power. They weren’t oppressed. They were asked to share.

1/ When MAGA targets babies, children, the elderly, or the disabled, it’s not policy; it’s performance. The more innocent the victim, the clearer the message: “We can do this to anyone.” This is authoritarianism, and cruelty is the point.

If you use someone’s
cancer to attack them, you’re not edgy, you’re empty
That’s not political commentary, it’s cowardice
Mocking pain doesn’t make you strong
It makes you the kind of garbage that compassion forgot

Only the lowest kind of trash sees someone’s illness and decides it’s a punchline

Career and self-preservation have motivated me to leave Texas and embrace Vermont. 50 miles from Gulf of Mexico to 50 miles from Canada. Culture shock, much? Mountaineers, hmu with advice, relocation tips, friendship. #VT #UVM

I bought this book. Great work. Valuable information.
Almost done reading Multisolving and I'm now noticing Vision, Values, Worldviews, and Simple Rules all over the place including in my own work. Thank you so much for these sprouting ideas and please do keep planting 🌱

FED WATCH: “.. tourism arrivals are falling sharply, especially from China and Japan in reaction to tariffs, and that is already affecting tourism jobs, which in turn affect leisure and hospitality, one of the most significant engines of job growth since 2020.”

NEW 🧵

The number of people travelling from Europe to the US in recent weeks has plummeted by as much as 35%, as travellers have cancelled plans in response to Trump’s policies and rhetoric, and horror stories from the border.

Many of Trump’s top supporters who helped him win last year are now attacking him over his tariff policy, including Joe Rogan, Ben Shapiro, Dave Portnoy, and Bill Ackman.

“We are heading for a self-induced, economic nuclear winter.”
Joe Rogan, Dave Portnoy and Ben Shapiro are among Trump backers now questioning tariffs
As President Donald Trump’s tariffs roil global markets, some of the thought leaders and influential podcasters who backed the Republican’s campaign are voicing doubts.

With crude oil prices dropping so much, it won’t be profitable for new wells to “drill, baby, drill.”

Also, it’s indicative of a looming recession.

I'm going with dissociation. And I apologize to my local Dem groups. I just can't yet. But I'm working on it. Don't give up on me. When I find my heart and the target, be afraid.

Playing around with CBP airport processing data this morning to see how much air travel by non-US passengers is cratering.

I totally understand that millennials have the right to be the angriest generation at this point, but I also think any Gen X people that are out of work right now need to come to terms with the fact that they will probably never work again.

In his 1957 filibuster, Strom Thurmond said "Negroes ... are not so well qualified to vote as are the white people.”

A Black senator just broke the record Thurmond set with that speech.
