This speech is from 2016. The foreshadowing in this Mitt Romney clip is uncanny.

#BLM OTD 1968 Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his final speech, “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop,” at Mason Temple Church of God in Christ in Memphis. It was a day before he was assassinated.

In his speech, King reflected on his life’s work.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.

Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

My latest:

Everyone Gets Tariffs, Trade Wars, and Turmoil on Bizarro Trump’s “Liberation Day.”

When you hire the world's most corrupt & incompetent people, you get trade wars, higher prices, & a potential recession.

In a way, inventing numbers to pretend other countries are charging us imaginary tariffs is of a piece with the tried-and-tested MAGA strategy: Pick someone you want to hurt, and make up some way they are attacking you to rationalize the harm you inflict on them.

Wow. Just wow. How Trump set the tariff rates. This is blithering, staggering, mind-boggling, jaw-cracking, gums-bleeding stupidity.
Screenshot of three tweets from @JamesSurowiecki dated 2 April 2025. (1) "It's also important to understand that the tariff rates that foreign countries are supposedly charging us are just made-up numbers. South Korea, with which we have a trade agreement, is not charging a 50% tariff on U.S. exports. Nor is the EU charging a 39% tariff." (2) "Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us. So we have a $17.9 billion trade deficit with Indonesia. Its exports to us are $28 billion. $17.9/$28 = 64%, which Trump claims is the tariff rate Indonesia charges us. What extraordinary nonsense this is." (3) "Even given that it's Trump, I cannot believe they said "We'll just divide the trade deficit by imports and tell people that's the tariff rate." And then they decided to set our tariffs by just cutting that totally made-up rate in half! This is so dumb and deceptive."

If you're not following Eric Rosen on #Bluesky -- you can change that!

He's a real fight -- smart, tough and also very funny.

But he's pissed and he stays on top of Musk and Trump every day -- and he's fighting for our democracy.

Let's get him to 15,000 followers: erosen1.bsky.social

WATCH: “It’s horrific.”

Joe Rogan reacts to the story of Trump’s ICE grabbing innocent people with no criminal record like a gay makeup artist (Andrys) and sending him to a hard labor prison in El Salvador.

Sen. Cory Booker has taken the Senate floor and announced he’s holding it until he’s no longer physically able as a protest against Trump. It’s probably the best idea any Senate Democrat has had in months. Love it.

This man was courageous enough to stand up to Trump and Vance.

So it's important to post this message and photo to 27 million people.

Don't just "like" it -- that only means that YOU'VE seen it.

Postb it, blow it up and get it out there!

You have to see this.

PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

Had to look at this local TEXAS headline twice but yes - accessing any citizen’s private Medicare data is, in fact, AGAINST THE LAW.

Lawyer friends, here’s a super relevant case study. Go!

Two more state employees fired after accessing Texans’ private information
So far, nine HHSC employees have been fired for accessing without a “business” purpose the private information of Texans seeking public assistance that includes Medicaid and food stamps.
