STRESS KILLS.
60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, struggling every day to keep their families going.
The result: working class people die 7 years earlier than the rich.
We need an economy that works for all, not just the few.

Not surprisingly, Trump’s overall tax and tariff proposals would make the very rich much richer and working families poorer.
If you earn less than $360,000 a year, your taxes are going to go way up.
If you’re in the top 1%? Don’t worry. You’ll save big.

the most beneficial effect of many boycotts is on yourself
'but that won't hurt company x' is often irrelevant
I'm taking back some agency
I'm aligning my actions with my beliefs
I feel better for it
that's good enough
in fact, imo it's better than punishment as a motive

Remember: Not everyone drinks alcohol & absolutely zero ppl owe you an explanation for why they don’t. If you’re hanging out w/folks make room for people who don’t drink, make sure alternatives are available, & there’s never a reason to call attention to their use. A little respect goes a long way.

After that plane literally flipped upside down after smashing into the runway and 100% of people survived, I hope every person who ever said “what’s even the point of seatbelts on a plane” feels like a real doof.

New: Trump officials have paused all external communications at health agencies like CDC, FDA, NIH.
No health alerts and the famed MMWRs; no updates to key websites or social media posts.
And no indication how long the pause will last.

Trump doesn't care if the economy crashes and communities suffer. His goal is to force you and your family to accept a lower standard of living while he and his friends get richer. Cutting support for law enforcement, schools, small businesses and firefighters is chaos by design.
President Trump’s order freezing trillions of dollars in federal grants and loans sent officials at schools, hospitals, nonprofit organizations and many others into a frantic scramble to understand the extent of the directive. Here's what to know.
Order to pause federal spending creates deep uncertainty for schools, nonprofits and companies.

Don't accuse, don't argue. Just ask simple questions. My favorite one is, "What actions, words, and symbols would prove to you that someone is a Nazi?" If it's still wrong to be a Nazi, then we should all make sure we know how to spot them, right?
