So let me get this straight: The President’s plan to lower prices is to roll back some of his own tariffs?

I've been getting back into the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series after many years, and the most relatable part is how everyday objects like doors and elevators have been imbued with artificial intelligence and it just makes them obnoxious and frustrating to use and everyone hates it.

![Text reads: “My concern is not artificial intelligence, but natural stupidity. I think that's what drives most of the world's worst features.

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.
Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

I will welcome anyone who says "I voted for Trump. I was wrong."
I will welcome anyone who says "I voted for Trump, I was mislead."
But "We didn't vote for this!!!" That dog don't fucking hunt. Donald Trump claimed he'd be a dictator on day one. He claimed he'd go after his political enemies.

Happy 71st Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools.
She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama.
The past isn’t past.

When I was placed on the Professor Watchlist in 2021, people sent death threats about my children. I had security officers monitor my 8yo at school.
Where is all the outrage for those of us who have been targeted for years? Where is the outrage for our families?
My own colleagues are silent.

Keep seeing/hearing news reports of MAGA fury at people celebrating Kirk’s killing (just now, NPR cited Stephen Miller’s outrage about this). But I have yet to see/hear a single example reported of such “celebration” —nothing close to Kirk’s own vile celebration of Paul Pelosi’s hammer attacker.
