If they really cared about bringing manufacturing back to the US, it would not be done with tariffs. It would be done with taking away tax incentives from the companies until they bring those plants back stateside.
But the MAGAts think if they yell loud enough, none of us will notice.

And then they’ve got Smuggy McScroogeface over there saying “why should we cede to China? China is the enemy” to rile up the table.
1) That’s debatable. But 2) No one is talking about ceded anything. Those are the facts as they are. That’s where the manufacturing takes place.

Why doesn’t @cnn.com fact check during these round tables? A 2 sec search shows AGDolls are made in China, making her entire point moot.

“I promise she’s real. But she’s in another state. You wouldn’t know her.” 🙄🤡

Looking for a loving queer family trying to find each other post climate apocalypse? Check out my book Lesser Gods & Demons.
In the mood for some queer witchy spicy fun? I’ve got three of my HEX’d series out with Book 4 coming soon.

which leads to Dem policies creating prosperity for the 1st few years of a Rep’s term & the 1st few years of a Dem’s term spent cleaning up the previous 4.
Is that the dissonance?
Will they see it?
Or are they too far gone to care?

Agreed. Had this tattooed a few weeks back. Taking it back and adding to the reclaimed power.

That was my first thought too.
Someone should remind him that it’s only champagne blah blah blah. Here it’s just sparkling whine. With hints of racism and sexism.

Their hope is to encourage folks to shop/support local in addition to sending a message through money to the largest corporations in the states.
Initially a 7 day boycott, they hope to grow it to 40.

The People’s Union USA is encouraging a 7 day boycott of Amazon and its subsidiaries in response to their/Bezo’s response the the current administration, cutting their DEI initiatives, etc. They’re the same folks who pushed the Feb 28 economic blackout.

Bookshop.org is even selling ebooks now.
Think of it like leaving meta for BlueSky. It’s a lot of time to rebuild your community and reach, but worth it in the long run.
(Plus these other options don’t ask you to GIVE YOUR WORK AWAY for rankings.)

I wish I could take credit, but the internets are much smarter than I. Heh.

With everything they’re trying to take away, with everything they’re forcing us to fight against, I need to remind myself they can not and will not take away my art.

So I’ll call my senators, and I’ll write a few words.
I’ll scream/post into the void or the echo chamber, and then I’ll write a few more.
I’ll show up to the protests, for my friends, for women and my extended lgbtqia+ family. And then I’ll sit down and create.
