People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative.
A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

Feeling wild that this crew of villains can do whatever they want, including deporting legal residents without due process, strong arming law firms into capitulation, and threatening citizens with the force of the federal government for talking out against it all.

I wonder if we could make a sort of interactive version of the U.S. Government org chart like this, showing which parts are being burned down in which ways every day. Something visual to explain it to normal people who aren't paying attention, translating it to impacts on their daily lives.

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

This is the end of a good economy, and one more log on the fire of America.
President Donald Trump imposed new tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China — signing them at his Mar-a-Lago club on Saturday.
It's a reversal of virtually duty-free trade between the three nations that's existed for several years. cnn.it/4hXLtR1

Americas brexit has begun.
NEW: Donald Trump officially signs order to raise prices on Americans with 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico and an additional 10% tariff on China. Retaliation is expected. The U.S. is now in a massive trade war.

If you wanted to decrease the cost of homes, one thing you wouldn’t do is put a flat tariff on your main source of timber.

Ok, I am trying to get my mind around this. The Administration is purging 100’s of career FBI personnel, the people who would keep us safe from Federal laws being broken. He purged the leadership of the FAA, and now we have had 2, 3? Aircraft crashes in the last 4 days.

Footage from last year is now resurfacing of Trump promising to “end inflation” starting on “day one.”
— Egg prices are up.
— Gas prices are up.
— He is promising tariffs that will raise prices even more.

Donald Trump and Republicans led the charge to ban TikTok, only to turn around and pretend they’re the heroes saving it. Next up: they’ll set your house on fire and take credit for calling 911.

Just a reminder of some of the context around the TikTok ban: In 2020, Trump tried to ban it via executive order a couple months after K-pop fans used it to organize fake signups to Trump’s Tulsa rally, which led him to publicly overestimate how large the crowd size would be.

This is kind of a self-own. If you believe that strongly about it, quit using them altogether. Otherwise, acknowledge that you’re willing to completely sell out your principles because you’re addicted to using a social media app. Or just admit that you’re not all that pissed off in the first place.
