If you have a Republican representing you in the House or Senate, call them to demand they undo Trump's tariffs.
They're already shaken by the 20 point shift in Florida and the Wisconsin loss. You can fuel that feeling.

This is true: The Trump administration said it has imposed a 10% tariff on the British Indian Ocean Territory, whose only inhabitants are the U.S. and U.K. service members at the military base on Diego Garcia.
Incredibly, this appears to be true. We tariffed our own (jointly operated with the UK) military base.
We tariffed BIOT, Mike.
BIOT. Diego fucking Garcia.
We tarrifed our own military base.

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

Each new passing day reveals to us horrors beyond imagination committed by the dumbest, vilest, most selfish idiots among us. But getting your own wife deported and failing to acknowledge your role in that tragedy is a whole multiverse beyond the pale. What a weak man he is.

I cannot emphasize enough how much Musk and RFK in particular seem caught up in eugenicist thinking that disease is good because it supposedly culls the herd.

It’s time to repeal Section 230. We must be able to take social media companies to court for addicting kids and enabling drug trafficking on their platforms.
Sen. DURBIN: Fentanyl often gets to our kids and young people through the internet.
Section 230 absolves social media companies from any responsibility. “That has got to end.”
