Liberation day was really about liberating us from our 401K and investment accounts. Who could have expected this from someone who has more failed businesses than actual number of felony accounts which is astonishing in its own right.

Do you see the fascism yet? Surely you are recognizing it by now....
Mocking people you arrest, using them as props for your social media content, celebrating with emojis when you kill civilians - it's all monstrous and fascist

" More recently, researchers have found that the viral outrage disseminated on social media in response to these ridiculous claims actually reduces the effectiveness of collective action."

Do you want to take some kind of action instead of falling into the doom pit of despair? Nazis and Fascists really have civil liberties and your freedoms. The ACLU is your best defense.

“The point of modern propaganda isn’t only to misinform or push an agenda. It is to exhaust your critical thinking, to annihilate truth…
And once truth is gone, they can build an empire of lies…
Just keep repeating the facts.
Stop giving equal time to lies.”

New: Trump officials have paused all external communications at health agencies like CDC, FDA, NIH.

No health alerts and the famed MMWRs; no updates to key websites or social media posts.

And no indication how long the pause will last.

Trump officials pause health agencies’ communications, citing review
The agencies are charged with making decisions that touch the lives of every American and are the source of crucial information to health-care providers.
