Hi, are you doomscrolling about tariffs? Have you had something to eat? Is there an offline activity you can do tonight instead, like read a book, compile a list of essential items you need to stock up on, or call an elected official about the recession ahead? Try not to stay up too late tonight.

No tariffs on Russia. Huh?

I honestly tried to watch Trump explain his tariffs. I did. It was like asking a senile person what happened and then giving up and asking the nurses what really happened. I’ll wait for our PM, an economist, to explain it. #cdnpoi #tariffs #elbowsup

People have been screaming for action from Dems for over 2 months Recognize when Dems stand up & push back. You may want more, but it won’t come if you scorn any & all action. Offer some kind of public “payoff,” & more people will stand up. Don’t fall into yet another Democratic purity test.

While Trump appoints 13 billionaires to his cabinet and Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg see their wealth increase by $217 billion since the election, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, 25% of seniors live on $15g or less and millions cannot afford rent. SAY NO TO OLIGARCHY.
