Incredible. The Trump administration calculated "tariff rates" by taking the US trade deficit with the respective country and dividing it by the country's exports to the US. And then the tariff rate of the US is often just set by cutting that made-up "tariff rate" in half.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

Delisa Newton, probably the second trans Black woman to receive gender affirming care in the mid 1960s wrote a tell all article of her life and experience for Sepia Magazine in 1966. A true pioneer for the LGBTQIA+++ community.

Wife and I just did our daily 5calls through 5calls.org. Not the only thing one can do, but it’s absolutely worth making your reps feel the collective rage. Signed, someone whose social anxiety goes through the roof on the phone. Just black out and read the script :)

This is a drawing I did of my father as he was passing away from dementia. I filled a sketchbook with artwork processing his final months and our relationship. I'd say we were a typical Italian-American family, where our emotional bond was numbed by the performances of masculinity. Mi manchi. #art

Boys Will Be Girls. Ink, gouache/acrylic on paper, 12x17”, 2022. I love to skirt around the edges of failure while observing strange rules I create for the world inside of each piece. Fitting for the present moment.
