The United States government just disappeared a lawful US resident because it didn't like his speech. You should care about this because it shouldn't happen to anyone, but you should also care because it could happen to you. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/09/n...

Excited about what they're doing at @contrariannews.org but deeply unhappy about the Republican's planning for even more massive tax cuts for the rich, paid for by fleecing America's working people. Trickle down economics doesn't deliver (but middle out does!)

The scale of corruption being perpetrated right now is almost beyond the limits of imagination. This is just one example, almost certainly not the greatest.

Close to 100,000 historical images could be deleted as part of the Pentagon’s latest purge... “Republicans spent years complaining about cancel culture and then took office and banned photos of the Enola Gay because it has the word gay in it."

This feels like a major inflection point. If ICE can apparently unlawfully arrest & disappear a permanent resident and it is not immediately met with strong opposition from the public, officials, and courts, there is no going back.

Trump was asked yesterday about Putin increasing strikes on civilian targets after we cut off inteI: “He’s doing what anybody else would do. I think he’s hitting them harder than he’s been hitting them. And I think probably anybody in his position would be doing that right now.”

They made a homophobic, anti-mask, misogynist the face of their company and then act like victims when decent people decided not to buy their vetbro beer. The punchline: the CEO of Armed Forces Brewing never served. It’s a marketing ploy. $300K from Youngkin wasted. www.whro.org/business-gro...

Imagine a President tearing up a $2.4B contract just so he could hand the money to his top political financial supporter. Cronyism and politics at its worst. It’s what's happening now at the FAA. Trump wants to hand $2.4 BILLION in taxpayer dollars straight to Elon Musk. I'm fighting to stop it.

Trump is so uneducated, he thinks foreign suppliers don't have other customers waiting to gain access to their products. China, Mexico, Canada, Brazil, and the EU have options for trade. The USA is a valued customer, but the customer isn't always right outside 🇺🇸 www.bnnbloomberg.ca/investing/co...

- On again, off again tariffs - Military deportation flights nearly halted since 2/21 because they cost a lot - Guantanamo, for same reason, being pulled back, down to ~20 detainees - Trump upset about deportation pace, yelling at aides These policies are not only indecent—they're flailing badly.
