Commissioned in 1865, right as the U.S. Civil War ended, the Statue of Liberty was originally designed holding broken chains in her left hand—this fact has been whitewashed from history b/c of the clear allusion to U.S. chattel slavery; the chains were replaced by the current tablet-like object. 🇺🇸

FOLLOW-UP: I can't get over one detail.
Why did Trump announce this massive policy shift at 1:30 pm when markets were open?
Previous tariff announcements were strategically timed after markets closed at 4 pm.
That's standard practice for market-moving policy changes.

Starting this week, we’ll all pay more at the store because of the Trump tariffs, even while he’s finalizing a multi-trillion-dollar tax cut for the wealthy.
All the bluster is meant to get us talking about literally anything else.
