#Trump ’s plan? Tank the #economy with trade wars and sanctions, let it crash, then watch the ultra-rich rake in #bailout billions—AGAIN. It’s not madness; it’s a #scam, and you’re the sucker footing the bill. Immoral? That’s just how #oligarchs like it. Watch Professor Richard Murphy explain⬇️
Trump wants a crash to benefit the ultra wealthy

I'll never forget the date that the US waged economic war on Canada: March 4th

Canada will "march forth" and we will be strong together.

What is happening!!!
Linda McMahon made millions off staged fights, but now she’s part of a real one—gutting the Department of Education to leave vulnerable kids without the resources they need. She’s ready to dismantle it, starving it of staff & funding. Our children’s future isn’t a game.

This is a blatant violation of the 1st Amendment but a lot of cowards in academia will use this as an excuse to crack down on campus protest.

I can't recommend any of my international friends visit the United States ever again, at least not until the Donald Trump/Elon Musk nightmare co-presidency is a distant memory ... the ripple effects of which will unfortunately, probably not end during my lifetime.
CBP is detaining german tourist for over 1 mo because they accused her of intending to tattoo for $$ while in US. In jailing her to deport, they held her in solitary for 9 days, also kept her from her return flight Feb 15. She's still jailed.

The NYT chart on Trump’s first month is a mess. How can ‘consequence’ be negative? If something has impact, it’s consequential whether good or bad. They rank trans issues as ‘less consequential’ in negative axis. Reality check: trans rights ARE consequential. Do better. #TransRights #NYTFail #trump

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.
