When people at the top talk about “short term pain” from tariffs–they aren’t talking about their own pain. They’re talking about working people's pain–when folks will lose their homes, health care, and not be able to put food on the table.

2/ However, the quality of information has also diminished. Which is what enabled the current situation in the US to come to pass. See, MAGA demonizes information and education, because an uninformed and uneducated people is easier to manipulate than an educated informed one.

As I quietly ponder upon the joy of offline life in blacked out Lisbon, one thing came to mind: WW2 era radio broadcasts. In an otherwise offline world, radio played a vital role in keeping people informed and aware of what was going on. Today, information is not as concentrated, but more available.

So after a weekend and a day of following news, I've come to the conclusion that the most humane thing we can do for Trump followers is to let them crash. When they say it was not meant to happen to them, then we can say, "welcome to democracy. Now suck eggs and take it like the rest of us."

"But, #tariffs are supposed to be taxes on other countries!!!" cried every sniveling MAGA who will see their cost of living shoot through the roof. If you voted for Trump based on "the economy," you were either an idiot or lying to yourself. #Trumponomics #Trumstagflation #Trumcession

“Stocks have lost roughly $2.7 trillion in market value Thursday, on track for their largest decline since March 2020.” Remind me, who was president in March 2020? #Trumponomics #TrumpCrash #Trumpcession www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

This guy has collapsed the economy twice.

The dollar is in free fall, stock market is down, and the price of groceries is up. Is this the “Golden Age” Trump promised you?

Let's recap for a moment. A guy, who bankrupted 6 times, eroded a fortune in real estate, got convicted of 34 counts of fraud, who apparently has as much a grasp on global economics as my cats have a grasp of quantum physics, just pushed the US economy towards inflation and recession. Not surprised.

Oh. Hell. No. ✨

I aim to please, so count on it!

📌NOTE: Pay attention to these relentless attacks on @apnews.com by the authoritarians in the White House, who are trying to bury us in dangerous propaganda. 📌AP is a straight-down-the-middle news source, which keeps its eye on power. Much of the media uses their stuff because it is rock-solid.

That’s how this American feels too!!!👍

Wow! The number of @bsky.app users just passed 33 MILLION!!! 👏 LETS DO THIS!!

President Zelenskyy, The vast majority of Americans are fully sickened to our core by the violence visited upon you every day, with help from our President and his party. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/to-preside...
