No matter how bad you imagine smallpox was, it was worse than that.
Ben Franklin on inoculation, after his son died from smallpox.

“In 1736, I lost one of my sons, a fine boy of four years old, by the small-pox, taken in the common way. I long regretted bitterly, and still regret that I had not given it to him by inoculation”.

Does anyone claiming extreme religious affiliation with the KJV... read the book... What happened when Jesus entered the temple full of money changers...
-Dropped or halted investigations into 100+ corporations

-Gutted regulatory agencies and fired ethics watchdogs

-Launched a crypto coin and offered an "intimate dinner" to top buyers

-Turned the White House into a Tesla showroom to help his biggest donor

"Drain the swamp."

Could work out to be a good ending... One I'd like...
I'M IMPOSING A SKILLIONTY DOLLAR TARIFF ON ALL COLORS THAT AREN'T BLUE shouts the president, as he runs through the White House with a soup pot on his head and falls down a flight of stairs with his pants around his ankles

Trump certainly doesn't care about working people... I do hope that enough people will repost and comment to make him think he better start listening... Time/past time for Trump to be gone... and I don't care how he exits...
The Biden administration made nearly 4 million more workers eligible for overtime pay.

But if Trump doesn't defend this rule by a May 6 court deadline, those workers will lose their much needed raises.

Time for the self-proclaimed "pro-worker president" to put up or shut up.

I am to Mr. Tiedrich... His profanity laden statements so perfectly echo the screaming inside my mind ever since Donald Trump began his assault on Truth, honor, decency. F Donald Trump and those choosing to emulate his disgusting greed and willingness to be their most disgusting selves.
from today's grand hunkin' post, in which I diss the markets, The New York Times, ICE, SCOTUS and the Space Nazi —
thanks for reading it!

Are they afraid of making Trump mad?
Not in the papers either. The AJC in Georgia mentioned it in the upper right corner of page 8 making it sound like people walked to the capital to see the flowers or something.

Europe... Step up... or give up... Putin won't stop with Ukraine. The US is not going to help stop Putin... Donald Trump is already showing that he plans on being just as bad or worse than Putin... We needed your help... Didn't happen... Hope you all will be able to save yourselves.
The is no limit to how much brutality the Trump admin is willing to allow Russia to get away with. They have never once condemned a single atrocity committed by Putin. Trump played golf while this happened and didn’t say a word about it.

Grateful to those able to be out protesting. I am physically unable...
Opposition is growing against the Trump-Musk chaos regime—and we’re not letting up.
Never stop organizing.
Never stop protesting.
Never stop turning out.

Many will die to make rich men richer...
The purpose of these tariffs is to be able to lift them to those who bow down to him and sacrifice their dignity. That is what he did to the GOP, the billionaires, and is doing now to Big Law. Those who stand up will be punished, those who bend a knee and humiliate themselves will be rewarded.

The whole point is to ruin farms…a fire sale on farmland that can be sold to corporate farms who can pollute the water and air with impunity.

There will be no one left in these communities to demand these corporations be regulated or pay taxes.
Any farmers out there that can speak to whether they can get info for planting season ? Or loans to help them get through this ?

Are federal offices open to even process loan requests ?

When @thomaslfriedman.bsky.social writes “the world is worried” about Trump’s tariffs and other economic moves, he’s not speculating.

“Trump Just Bet the Farm” is the headline on a @nytopinion.nytimes.com column late Thursday afternoon that has this haunting observation:

I was thinking with gratitude of all the people who are standing up and speaking out... who are gathering to tell Trump and all the haters his hate filled rhetoric has drawn out... Shame on people so full of envy they heeded Trump's call to hate more...
I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

I don't believe he's quitting. I think he's saying he's quitting so people stop speaking/protesting... If he quits to avoid disclosures... he'll sign back in shortly after.
Is Elon really quitting on May 1st…👇

His scam cost us taxpayers $500 billion. 10% of the entire federal budget. USAID which used to save millions of lives, gone…

Starving people to death so he could get paid $8 million/day (your money, btw) to steal our data, and shut down investigations.

WTAF?!

FAUX you gave up millions of dollars because you supported Trump and lied and lied... If Trump and Musk and the Retrumplican party are defeated... and there are many of us fighting back... I hope you go out too.
Fox News is now engaged in a 24 hour operation to convince Americans that invading Greenland is normal.

I am grateful to the people that continue to speak against Trump, Musk, ReTrumplicans... These people are trying to D destroy the US... to end democracy. Thank You
Garcia: Nancy Mace is trying to censure me, Donald Trump is trying to arrest me, Elon Musk has promised us a primary in the next election. If this is my enemy list, then we are probably doing something right

Pro truth, honor, decency = Anti Trump
I had a friend who lives near the Canadian border make a custom request. She wanted to remind Canadians that the vast majority of Americans view them as allies, and know Canada is NOT for sale.

We can't let Trump ruin decades of good relations with our Canadian friends.

Elon Musk bought what Donald Price agreed to sell... The amount of money Musk paid varies wildly... No matter how much... Are you happy at what your child's health care, your grandparents, veterans, and all the other target groups went on the block for?
📣 There is absolutely no reason for Elon Musk, susceptible to extortion by the Chinese over his business interests, to know anything about the U.S. plan should we ever go to war with China. Zero. None. Bupkis.
The credulity is off the charts at the Times.

It is a sad day for the legal industry. Paul Weiss, didn't just bend a knee, it set a new standard for shameful capitulation. This is a stain on the firm, every one of its partners, and the entire legal profession.
