I haven't been on a social media site since MySpace. I'm nearly 40, have many interests, enjoy learning, and am hopelessly in love with my partner of 18 years. My dogs, garden, or toddler may be better entertainment than me, but they can't use a keyboard

Jessica Tarlov: “President Bukele is lying when he says he can't get him back. We know he can return people because he returned people from the original shipment. There were women that were sent there and he said, ‘you shouldn't be here.’”

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration.
So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives.
So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

Spoiler: It is absolutely market manipulation
Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

Police officers entered a woman's restroom to arrest a transgender woman who was washing her hands. She was taken to a men's jail and charged with trespassing. She faces up to 60 days if convicted. This isn't about safety, it's about cruelty. www.erininthemorning.com/p/trans-woma...

THIS IS TERRIFYING‼️
Dr. Peter Marks, former head of vaccines at the FDA, just had his last day—forced to resign or be fired because he wouldn’t lie about vaccines.
He gives a chilling warning: the U.S. is unprepared for biowarfare—because the response team has been gutted.
