Trump wants to distract you from the fact that he gutted the Aviation Safety Committee and ousted the FAA administrator last week.

Don’t let him.

This will mean higher gas prices, higher alcohol prices, higher food prices, higher building prices, higher car prices, higher pharmaceutical prices, etc. Trump is about to teach Americans who *actually* pays for tariffs (the consumers do).

Trump's demand for recess appointments is about more than his nominees. I wrote about his viewthat following the Constitution is negotiable: "Once Republican Senators bypass one provision of the Constitution at Donald Trump’s behest, they’re all up for grabs." joycevance.substack.com/p/what-letti...
What Letting Trump Use Recess Appointments Could Mean
Donald Trump’s stated desire to use recess appointments is about more than putting his cabinet secretaries and other appointees in place without a fight.

Conservatives have spent the last 40 years rigging the courts with extremist judges like Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett, and more. It’s time to fight back.

Ronald Reagan turned millionaires into billionaires on the backs of the working class.

Now Trump is going to turn billionaires into trillionaires on the necks of the working class.

Wealth inequality is a scourge on society which will ultimately destroy us all.

Tax the rich.

A lot.

Have decided to start posting more.
I want to alternate posts on activism and resistance, with moments of hope and beauty. This was my backyard yesterday. The stark beauty of these trees in the fog, with the sun barely peaking through seemed fitting.
