Good to see the Times picking up on a theme some of us have been hammering for a while: Trump's tariffs, and especially an opaque exemption process, will be an engine of massive crony capitalism 1/ www.nytimes.com/2024/11/23/u...
Trump’s Trade Agenda Could Benefit Friends and Punish Rivals
Donald Trump has a record of pardoning favored companies from tariffs. Companies are once again lining up to try to influence him.

Is this what happened and how can we stop it in the future? 👇
By August 2024, 40,000 self-proclaimed vigilante vote-fraud hunters had already challenged the rights of 852,381 voters — with a target of 2 million before the election. Did the voters decide the 2024 election, or voter suppression? Watch our movie and decide for yourself. youtu.be/P_XdtAQXnGE

Good news for once!
We’ve found a 300-year-old coral that’s so big it’s visible from space. It’s now considered the world’s largest. Best of all: it’s not yet harmed by climate change & global warming.
It’s being called a beacon of hope. Let it also be a call to action! #DoSomething 🧵

I just learned the word “Latibulate.” It’s a now-obsolete verb from the 17th century that means “to hide in a corner or place of safety to escape reality or until conditions improve.”
I think we can all agree that this word needs to make an immediate comeback.
