Mother’s Day flower prices are up.
Used car prices are increasing.
Egg prices continue to rise.

This is Trump’s economy.

the fundamental disconnect between the manosphere and reality is that they are incapable of understanding that this is - according to every woman I’ve ever met - the sexiest thing a man has ever done

So that's what Big Balls did with the terabytes of data he stole from the National Labor Relations Board a few weeks ago.
On Friday ICE agents stopped a bus in Albion, NY. They had a list of names, and took 14 people into custody

Those workers—and their employer—happened to be involved in one of the most crucial labor struggles in the state in recent memory

“They Actually Had a List”: ICE Arrests Workers Involved in Landmark Labor Rights Case
“We are concerned at the appearance of targeting publicly pro-union worker leaders,” said a UFW official about an ICE raid in New York.

It calls for an evaluation of all pending proceedings under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA), which was first passed in 1974 and amended in 1976 to prevent lenders from discriminating against women based on marital status.

This is basically what I’ve been saying to anyone who will listen (which is not many people lol). Assuming we still have elections after this we’ll end up with someone just like him but who actually knows what they’re doing politically
Trump will not be the last trump. The voting booth cannot be the only line of defense against this fascism. The end is already here if the US is this susceptible to collapse as a democratic state each & every election. This is the single most pressing & largely ignored lesson from his 1st term.

Today in Milan, a student activist group hung a trash-filled effigy of Musk upside down on a gate outside of piazzale Loreto, where Mussolini's body was displayed in 1945.
They left the message: "C'è sempre posto a piazzale Loreto, Elon" (There's always room in piazzale Loreto, Elon)

You don't know anyone but natural born American citizens, full stop. And if you're white and border patrol or ICE starts asking questions, you ask to see their warrant. Don't you do nazi shit.
Multiple UFW union offices received this in the mail this week. Thanks for reaching out!

Announce or even hint on your social media that you’re doing illegal or potentially illegal things. Even if for excellent reasons.

You will be a target and make the people you aid targets.

Historian of fascism here. It was a Nazi salute and a very belligerent one too.

With alt-text. The Parable of the Talents is a novel by Octavia Butler. It was published in 1998, a sequel to The Parable of the Sower (1993.) Both were award winning books.

I'm not happy that Musk gave two Nazi salutes at Trump's inauguration, but there's grim satisfaction in the undeniable evidence that this is a fascist movement and a fascist government, something that was already a bald fact but took a bunch of extra words to prove.

Reminder that Mitt Romney explicitly said the rationale behind the tiktok ban was pro Palestinian content. The renewed push last year was explicitly to help Israel conduct a genocide without scrutiny on social media.

Imperial boomerang in action.
