Trump's approval ratings are tanking. He's flailing on the economy. Epstein haunts him. Republicans are beginning to revolt against him.

He's not all powerful.

A tyrant can exercise tyranny only insofar as the objects of his tyranny continue to allow it.

Remember this.

The Trump administration is considering axing a Biden-era road safety initiative ... despite evidence the ambitious program was successful at reducing passenger car + large-truck crashes + fatalities.

Oh.
DOT may scrap Biden-era road safety initiative
Despite declining traffic fatalities, DOT is considering ending its National Roadway Safety Strategy, with a decision expected by January 2026.

The global human population is at an all time high. The only reason to worry about a "declining" birth rate is because you want to feed them into the maw of capitalism.

Darby calls for aid!
Travelling to and from hospital several times in the past couple of weeks while I fight stacked infections has drained my already meagre funds.

If anyone’s able to help out for the cost of food and meds to keep me going until the 11th, I’d be very appreciative 🧡 Sorry

After 99 years, Michigan clockmaker Howard Miller is shutting down. The culprit: Trump's tariffs.

"If the federal government had said, ‘Oh, it's a 10% tariff, constant,' … they might've worked things out," an employee said. "But no. It's just chaos."

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

🧵This 58-year-old nurse from Maryland is seen being violently dragged along the ground by officials in Ghana.

Trump deported her there.

This abhorrent & disgusting abuse of a woman who saved American lives and cared for injured and ill Americans for 30 years.

All the details below are worse.

This entire thread is nothing short of remarkable.
Federal immigration enforcement officials called off a planned raid on Canal Street today shortly before it was slated to begin.

New Yorkers who heard about the raid showed up at the garage where the feds had gathered, and as federal agents tried to leave, the NYPD cleared the way for them.

Those seeking pardons through official channels have watched while Trump grants pardons to people who never entered the system at all.

“If you’re a donor or political supporter, you move to the front of the line,” said a lawyer for one pardon-seeker.
