Much of what we know, we don’t. We were told by someone and chose to believe them.

I know I will survive 4 more years. I fear for those who won’t.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

Just a reminder that rule of law means nothing to Donald Trump. It never has. It never will.

Today’s market recovery was just that. Folk trying to recover lost money. We are still down from a week ago. The trade conflict is still on. He has yet to announce if he is pausing his tariff plan on medication. I suspect not. Higher inflation still looms.

It will be interesting to see what Xi Jinping’s next move will be. He will hit back in some way. Just an idea that he could target American business. Example: 90% of IPhones are assembled in China. If he order those operations to stop it would crash Apple and probably the market too.

I wager that China is not going to back down on their retaliatory tariffs.

Tonight we learned that it was indeed Andry, the gay man sent to El Salvador because of his “mom” and “dad” tattoos, who an American journalist saw sobbing as guards slapped him repeatedly and shaved his head.

He is an innocent. And Trump sent him to a torture prison.

Bring them back!

I've been to Dilley, the "family residential center" I think he's referring to.

It's a jail. They're surrounded by barbed wire fences and armed guards. It's a jail.
Tom Homan spoke to local news about the children in his own town abducted by ICE: “First of all, the family is not in a jail. They’re in a family residential center, it’s an open air campus.”

Oh, ok.

As a serious Buffett fan, I’m glad he does not align with any of Trump’s policies or philosophy. Look up the Buffett rule. Since the COVID crash, Berkshire has been stockpiling cash because he has said the storm isn’t over. Currently sitting on about $325 billion in cash last I looked.

Gonna put this here for future reference since the trade deficit is the reason for tariffs. Let’s see in time if it goes down.

Even I’m fed up with the democrats by now, but someone that speaks like this and pushes this hard is a real leader.
Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

These Trump lawyers are lying I’m sure, but this better make any sensible person angry beyond words! This is the same prison Trump has bragged about possibly sending American Citizens to.
This keeps getting worse and worse.

Much of what those in power are doing is to control who we are. They want to define and categorize people because it’s easier for them.

It is beyond their power to hurt who you are.

🧵Masked ICE thugs attempted to abduct the school nurse at Cooke Elementary School, located in the densely populated Adams Morgan section of DC. Workers at the school intervened, demanding a warrant and holding up their phones and ICE scurried off without making their arrest.

My small contribution to the community. On the 20th of each month I screen shot the national debt clock mostly in case something happens to it in the future. Some added info: the DOGE ticker is how much they hope to save. It’s not a real value. www.usdebtclock.org
