“Friday, February 28, 2025, will go into the history books as one of the grimmest days in American diplomacy,” writes @radiofreetom.bsky.social. Now “Putin, along with other dictators around the world, can finally look at Trump with confidence and think: one of us”: theatln.tc/FHJeRVAj

If they’re saying this, I bet news is about to come out that DOGE has been leaking IRS information.

Canadians never bend in the face of tyranny. This is our story as a nation, and I am so proud to be part of that story today. Across Canada and the United States the resistance will come from ordinary people. Keep kicking at the darkness until it bleeds daylight. www.youtube.com/watch?v=es5q...

Trump is surrendering America. Trump is the opposite of strong. He is a tiny, weak, small, scared, trembling, sissy, husk of a man. There is nothing manly about his fat, sweaty, smelly, gross, makeup'ed self An absolute joke

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

Wherein Elon says the quiet, corrupt part out loud: He intends to steal the private IRS data of his political enemies. How soon before he does the same to his economic competitors? Or you?

Gas and egg prices are too high. Also social security and tax information is likely exposed.

The moment someone’s social security or tax information is leaked because of DOGE activity, Democrats from Jeffries to Schumer down to dogcather should be on TV, Tik Tok etc. talking about it.

A prominent Democrat should hold a press conference, get on TikTok, or another avenue, hold up a social security card, and say, “if you have one of these, your information is now in the hands of an unelected billionaire.”

Egg and gas prices are too high. Soon everything will be too high. Also, private information has been compromised. This list will keep on getting longer.

Some local egg brands are 11.99 for 18, and those are the cheaper brands. Local gas has also gone up. All those excuses people gave for voting for him are slowly falling.

Now available in paperback. "Kennedy’s oratory stands in stark contrast to Donald Trump’s divisive and dehumanizing rhetoric. Kennedy did not see America as a land of “carnage,” or as Trump put it in 2024, “a nation in decline. We are a failed nation.” Kennedy would reject this defeatism . . .

All this talk about territorial expansion reminds me of some scholars on the origins of World War I who argued leaders stoked nationalism and expansion to mask the dramatic economic inequalities in Europe at the time. This talk will continue unless prices fall dramatically i.e. in a recession.

Jimmy Carter, who died over the weekend, was the oldest living president, but where does Martin Van Buren (1782-1862) rank? He is currently the 13th-oldest president, having lived 79 years, 231 days. This image, from the National Portrait Gallery, was taken when Van Buren was in his early 70s.
