We live in a nation where the sitting President just signed an executive order ending an effort to replace plastic straws with paper, but we can’t enact gun safety laws? What the fuck?

Trump Tax report if tariffs go into effect:

If you’re buying a new car, estimates say you’ll spend up to $3k more for it – after the Trump Tax is applied.

And if you need an oil change, reports say the Trump Tax will push prices over $100.

the courage to come out into the world;
the grace to live in humble beauty;
the will to survive, and
the instinct and desire to do it over and over and over –
because that’s how we move forward in time.”
