“This is destroying lives,” Riggio told CatholicVote in an exclusive interview. “I know guys that have already missed their mortgage payments. I know a couple of guys that have committed suicide. That’s just how hard it’s hit them.” catholicvote.org/rural-us-wor...

The lumber stacked in the parking lot behind the mill is starting to turn black. With no international market for wood products due to Trump's trade war, the mills of Longview are engaged in the futile exercise of turning trees into moldering trash. #tariffs #lumber #tradewar #pnw

Happening in Longview, WA, in a very big way. Logs are biiiig!!

Yet another adverse effect of tariffs

Using the words is important—harder to deny their validity

The so-called Defense Secretary has ordered 400 books removed from the Naval Academy library. This outrageous ban includes works about Slavery and the Holocaust, but not a book written by Adolf Hitler. The effort to whitewash our history must be reversed and Pete Hegseth fired IMMEDIATELY.

Oh look, Trump is threatening Mexico with tariffs again. At this point countries will just laugh at this ass clown. His credibility is shot. He can’t stick with tariffs because of the same domestic pressure he’s caved to 4 times already in less than 90 days. Just hollow threats.

Overpromising and underdelivering www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/u...

Today House Republicans, cheered on by the richest person on Earth, passed a budget framework that will cut support for the poorest people in our country. All while cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, and massively increasing the deficit.

Well, this is terrifying - clear signs of efforts to deploy the anti-terrorism apparatus against domestic political opponents

Who’d ’a thought??

I don’t understand why republicans are so afraid. The way things are going, I think they are in danger of losing their seats if they keep on supporting him. Thinking of Wisconsin Supreme Court..

Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down. Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.

Sowing both fear and stupidity..

Donald Trump has a long history of market manipulation. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I have acquired the estrogens that were in the computer and which you were probably saving for breakfast Forgive me they were delicious so sweet and so cold

Yes, this!

Last week I called the White House to register a complaint abt SignalGate and got a message: “Our comment line is closed. We are open Tue through Thu 11-3. They obviously don’t want to hear from us. So let’s be as loud as we can.

So I guess it’s just our turn..

This. ⬇️

f*ck yeah

We DO know how to do this!

Many simply don’t know what to do, so they go to a protest. It’s a brave step, especially if you’re a blue dot in a red area. People find their people, get inspired. Many get more engaged. If you’re criticizing protestors, try helping them figure out next steps instead. Encourage them to keep going.

🚨Georgia prosecutors dropped charges against the 24-year-old woman they **arrested over a miscarriage**—but only because people spoke up and demanded it. We cannot let these stories be ignored or normalized—that’s what Republicans counting on. We have to keep speaking up.

Libby is a great library app! I check out recorded books, free!

Government as revenge and retribution.

Just 3 Republicans. Who will step up?

Now if only they would comply with the judgment

The murder rate for Indigenous women in Canada 🇨🇦 is ten times higher than the national average, but nothing has been done about it. Remember #MMIW in May. Hang a red dress. Be an activist. This is unacceptable.
