“Poor man wanna be rich. Rich man wanna be king. The king ain’t satisfied ‘til he rules everything.”—Springsteen, Badlands

Trump capitulated to China and got nothing out of it. After weeks of on and off tariffs, the only thing Trump did was cause the market to freak out, screw up the entire supply chain, destroy the dollar as the “reserve currency", and killed the US’s soft power advantage.

I was a female contractor without a beer gut and drove an SUV but the rest of the story is the same. I wouldn’t have had a business without skilled immigrants. They were the soul of my business.

1/🧵 It’s not dysfunction. It’s design. The GOP uses a ruthless disinformation playbook to confuse, divide, and exhaust the public. They don’t want you informed—they want you disoriented. Here’s how their machine works—and how we expose it. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

Not only did America elect a spoiled five-year-old as president—he’s unraveling because he’s losing and can’t handle being called out. STARTED. GOING.

Muskolini wasn’t interested in making the US government more efficient. He wanted all the lawsuits and investigations into him and his companies to go away. A grifter, just like Convicted Felon Donald Trump. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #FuckTrump #FuckMusk www.muskwatch.com/p/musks-trum...

DOGE’s so-called “savings” are smoke and mirrors. Half the receipts don’t exist, math errors are everywhere, and many “cuts” were never real. The numbers don’t add up — and we’re all paying the price.

The long, slow, overnight ruin of American democracy: @djrothkopf.bsky.social turns over the rubiks cube of our arrival to this moment. We are found wanting in the tilling of the soil to our overnight disaster. DJR masterfully asks, "who is willing" to do the hard work of restoration to 'great.'

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?

A MORAL CRISIS “The rule of law is being trampled. Innocent people are being disappeared. Court orders are being ignored. If you claim to love this country—if you believe in the Constitution, due process, order, and justice—this must be your line in the sand.” Take 3 minutes. This is important.

"The envy of the world," that was the title of the Economist article published on Oct. 19th, 2024 - less than 6 mos ago. ONE MAN HAS DESTROYED THAT! WHY? If something is working, you may improve upon it, but you don't destroy it. 🗣️Remind those you know off Bsky!! www.economist.com/weeklyeditio...

www.motherjones.com/politics/202... In a democracy we should be encouraging voting not suppressing it. This is why our status as a Democratic country is being reduced. The Republicans are complicit.

In 1930, 6 months after the Smoot-Hawley tariffs were enacted by President Hoover, world trade decreased by SIXTY PERCENT (60%). Because of policies like the Smoot-Hawley tariffs contributing to the Great Depression in the 1930's, Hoover is considered one of our WORST president's. Sound familiar?

Here’s the real reason why DOGE is gutting the IRS. (Hint: it has nothing to do with “efficiency.”)

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Convicted Felon Donald Trump says he wants to bring manufacturing back, yet cancels contracts that...bring manufacturing back. Who is he hurting most? Red states. And the environment. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #TrumpIsACriminal #FuckTrump www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

As of Friday, there have been 46 cases in which federal judges have blocked Trump policies. The rulings in those cases have come from 39 different judges appointed by 5 different presidents (of both parties) to 11 different district courts across 7 different circuits. Maybe it's not the judges?
