Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

They’ve called armed federal officers to the scene. We aren’t dangerous. We are here to represent our people. To defend public education. This is an authoritarian regime. You cannot block members of Congress from entering the Department of Education.

Pam Bondi is disbanding the Foreign Influence Task Force - the FBI team that is charged with combatting foreign meddling in US elections.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.

2. It will not be the first time flags have been at half-staff during an inauguration.
3. Trump is a tiny man with such a fragile ego.

"Trump barely pretends to understand the broad outlines, much less the nuances, of his own agenda. Pressed on actual issues, he flatters himself and talks about how great he’s going to make everything. But he offers few details, and when he does, they're conspiracy theories and lies."
Trump's Time interview provides a sobering reminder
He's staggeringly unfit. Always has been. Always will be.

I’m here to say things like, “President Biden…stop acting like a Goddamn politician and fucking do something boldly outrageous. You’re 82 years old. Fuck it!” because I rarely see anyone else willing to say it.

I have survived the month since the election by focusing on the baby chicks we are raising and on my horseback riding lessons. I am not sure I will ever forgive those people who voted for Trump or chose to sit this one out.

There is no justice, no equality in This country.
Today, November 25th 2024 is the day we officially learned that justice in America, in fact, does NOT matter. #sad
The moral of the story, kids: It’s fine to try to stop the peaceful transfer of power and incite a mob to storm the Capitol and do all you can to overturn an election as long as you run again and win 🇺🇸

For me, the thing that knocked the wind out of me with this election is that I dared to believe America would get it right THIS time, that America was ready for a Woman President.
It hurt having that blind faith in neighbors, friends, and strangers smacked out of me.
Dammit, America. 😞

MAGA talking about Matt Gaetz and Pete Hegseth not being prosecuted for rape don't seem to understand just how few cases are actually taken to court.
Of the 1 in 3 rape cases are reported to police, only 1 in 4 lead to an arrest.
Of those, only around 1 in 6 cases lead to a conviction.
Spare me.
