Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

@duckworth.senate.gov Sen. Durbin and Rep. Danny Davis - this is even better than boycotting. Disrupt and derail the speech. Trump won’t have a single honest thing to say anyway, and we need to steal his thunder.
I actually think the dems should attend the SOTU, wait till the 2nd sentence, and then walk out en masse, that'll do it, there'll be no address, he'll just have a meltdown on national Tv

If you’re a Dem elected and you’re not mentioning the massive cuts to cancer cure and social security funding in every public appearance you’re just not doing your job.

As has been pointed out, GOP oversaw the worst national security (9/11), foreign policy (Iraq), disaster response (Katrina), economic (2008 crash) and public health (COVID) crises of our lifetimes. Voters would have to be absolutely nuts to repeatedly put that party back in power, right?
Lots of people out there saying, "at least by fucking everything up they're showing how incompetent they are, which will turn voters against them."
I just wonder where in the world people get this hope. America made it all the way through the election in near-total ignorance. Why would that change?

alright you wanna know how to support trans people?

Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.

The rules, if you are keeping track:
If a single left activist anywhere in the world says "defund the police," it becomes the official position of the Democratic Party, now and forever.
If the president's top surrogate repeatedly sieg-heils on stage, it's ambiguous, impossible to interpret.

Liberals spent the president-elect’s first term trying and failing to kick him out of office. This time out, they need to turn the White House into a prison.

Just a reminder of some of the context around the TikTok ban: In 2020, Trump tried to ban it via executive order a couple months after K-pop fans used it to organize fake signups to Trump’s Tulsa rally, which led him to publicly overestimate how large the crowd size would be.

Whoa!
Cannot stop thinking about how Octavia Butler wrote a book in 1993 about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won office with the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again."
She was a modern day Nostradamus. If only we'd listened.

NEW: “It may be just a car to some, but for my family it was sanity, peace of mind stolen from us.”
In Connecticut, tow companies can sell people’s cars after 15 days. For low-income residents, the consequences can extend far beyond the cost of the car.

Gone in 15 Days: How the Connecticut DMV Allows Tow Companies to Sell People’s Cars
A law intended to deal with abandoned vehicles is making it hard for low-income people to get their cars back after they’re towed. The consequences can extend far beyond the cost of the car.

I remain skeptical that these claimed tariffs will ever take effect. But note that Mexico is the biggest US trading partner and Canada is now essentially tied for second with China.
