I guess he thought we would just keep buying his cars no matter what he did or said. He was wrong.

Lessons in history

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

Oh no, just hearing the news of the fire at the Ukrainian Cultural Village east of Edmonton. edmontonjournal.com/news/local-n...

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?

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

Presidents par excellence! GOP hates them like hell. Give them a million likes & reposts to disappoint them.

Democratic Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker lambasted the Trump administration for eliminating or threatening to end a range of antiviolence programs, saying, “Public safety is under attack by the Trump administration.” www.wbez.org/criminal-jus...

We had the reporter on tonight; @maddow has the whistleblower

Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball shirt after the Warriors’ win tonight: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”

Please repeat over and over: “Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.” —Gov. JB Pritzker

Remember Fiona Hill? She’s now sounding the alarm again: “We’re definitely on a path toward full-on state repression. There’s no question about it. I’ve thought about this for an extraordinarily long time.” When Fiona speaks, we should all listen.

Good morning Bluesky. What are any of the uber rich that have formed the broligarchy in the nation doing to help the those less fortunate than themselves and not just themselves? Don't say space travel, shopping, or social media. Asking for a friend.

The top five egg producers own roughly half of all U.S. laying hens. The biggest of those corporations is Cal-Maine, which just announced quarterly profits of $509 million — more than 3x what it made a year ago. Corporate concentration + bird flu = a price-hiking free for all.

This quote from Fundstrat Market Strategy & Sector Research is, sadly, spot on.

As the economic news keeps coming out over the coming weeks keep one thing in mind: this is the fault of one man and didn’t need to happen.

I didn’t want this to happen. I voted for the smart black lady.

If you still believe these reckless tariffs will somehow make you better off in the long run, you’re either an oligarch or an imbecile.

San Francisco gets an A+ for presentation and form.

Trade deficit. I have bought food from say, Chilis. They have never bought food from me. There is a trade deficit with Chilis. I’m still doing fine. The trade deficit argument SOUNDS compelling, but it’s a straw man with no relevancy

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.
