The United States lost 172,000 jobs in February.
That’s 245% over January of this year. The last time that many jobs were lost was in July 2020.
It’s the 12th highest number of job losses in a single month in recorded history.

The Federal Department of Education accounts for about 4% of the budget.
USAID accounts for about 1.5% of the budget.
The departments that hold contracts with Space X and Tesla (that we know of) make up almost 20% of the federal budget.
To quote Jasmine Crocket, "They are playing in your face."

Most immigrants Trump targets have been here 10+ years, paying taxes, raising families, contributing to our communities.

Mass deportation would devastate our economy and tear apart the social fabric of America.

TIL there are adults who are United States citizens who don't know that nearly 100% of our Constitution applies to everyone, documented or not.

Anyway. I'll be spending more time over here with the good guys.

Lots of people are about to be really mad that price of eggs goes up but they can’t get a 2nd job because they can’t afford childcare and when they do finally get the eggs they get E Coli because there’s no FDA but can’t go to the doctor because they got kicked off their health plan. #FAFO
