Great example from Mr. Beast of how insane it was for Trump to hit raw food with tariffs
Ingredients that grow abroad are getting more expensive—a Feastables bar has sugar (hit by a 10% tariff), chocolate (6-15%), cocoa butter (21%), & vanilla (41%)—and those tariffs also hit coffee, fish, etc

I realized today that Trump, Musk, DOGE, Vance, Miller, Vought and their many collaborators have broken so many laws already that they know they have to destroy our government and entire way of life to stay out of jail. This is all or nothing. We should respond accordingly.

Oh my God Democrats are NATO but for civil rights
Popular or not Dems cannot bend on the need for trans people to be treated with basic humanity and respect. If we give up that because the right made trans people unpopular, we give up everything. They’ll dice us group by group like a salami. We die on this hill or we die alone in a ditch
