In just one week: A GOP president deployed Marines in a U.S. city, called for a Democratic governor’s arrest, the GOP Speaker called for him to be tarred and feathered, a Democratic senator was handcuffed, and two Democratic legislators were shot in their homes.

To make matters worse, importers are leaving inventory in China ports. Waiting for tariffs to be lowered. If they are lowered enough, there will be a crush to ship them here and transport them when they get here. That will drive transportation costs way up. = More inflation, post tariffs

Tonight, every night, approximately 400,000 people in pretrial detention (i.e. in jail, awaiting trial, because they couldn't afford bail). As Fiona Apple notes in this mesmerizing video, 60,000 of them are women (66% of whom have minor child at home). These folks should be home with their families.

One of grants frozen at Cornell: $6.7M (4 yrs) to develop heart pumps for babies born w/ heart defects. It took decades of work to get to point of prepping device for in-human clinical trials. No private company could do this. The cruelty of the Trump administration is heartbreaking. So to speak.

This is straight up nazi shit. The nazis published propaganda on Jewish crime. If this were blackcrimeuk or immigrantcrimeuk everyone would see it for the bigoted shit that it is.

Things the president of the United States said on meet the press today: He doesn’t know if he has to follow the constitution He’s fine with a recession Americans can do with less Small businesses are just “a couple of little businesses”

TeleMessage is the app National Security Advisor Mike Waltz was using, along with JD Vance, and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. Feel safe?

The official White House account also posted this It’s a blatant insult to Catholics and a mockery of their faith.

Your reminder that none of this shit is fucking normal.

Every now and then I just pause and think that … we could have just elected Kamala Harris, and we’d still have an economy that was the strongest in the world; we’d still have an American-led trans-Atlantic order; we’d be assured that our universities would remain the envy of the world; … (1/x)

As far as I know, even the Nazis didn't come up with the idea of sharing footage from concentration camp to fulfill the sadistic desires of their supporters. German High Command kept that for their own private viewing.

Q: What distinguishes a prison from a concentration camp?

Tiddies out and everything, this diva gives no fucks

Trump bears the bulk of the blame for the unprecedented global economic crisis now unfolding. But let’s not ignore the role played by the hideously bad judgment of the business and financial leaders who supported Trump and didn’t realize this was an inevitable outcome.

Raskin: The basis for this most destructive trade war in the history of the world is the profound economic research and policy writings of one Ron Vera, a completely fictional economist conjured up by Peter Navarro, a real person who Elon Musk just called a moron

"Calling a detention center by another name does not change what it is."

It's weird to have elected leaders who say they want to crash the economy, reinstate segregation, strip human rights and create a perpetual underclass and then have people ask why are they doing this are they bad at economics ?

james surowiecki has discovered where the completely fabricated trump tariff rate has come from for each country "...for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us."

Florida Dems! We see you and we love you!

And, to be clear, it's almost certainly happening *because* the base has been screaming for action from elected Democrats. This isn't "relax, they've got this." This is "keep yelling, it's working."

Huh, weird

Incredible news on TDOV. The 9th Circuit has denied the government’s request to enforce its transgender military ban. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Gosh. If only there were an historical analogue we could study to learn about the horrors of rounding people up without due process and sending them to torture camps in other countries.

A useful cheat sheet “I never unfriend people over politics” (h/t; mastodon.world/@BrianJopek/...)

GOP representative: “I support Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency.” Town hall crowd: “BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!” Let’s keep making Republicans own their complicity in President Musk’s hostile takeover. Take action near you during this congressional recess: indivisible.org/muskorus

Social Security numbers and other private information of more than 200 former congressional staffers and others were made public Tuesday in unredacted files related to the assassination of JFK. Many of these people are still alive and therefore now vulnerable to privacy theft and doxing

Republicans at a GOP town hall in Spokane, Washington, raised the Canadian flag and called on Trump to be impeached. #3E

I do not understand the war against DEI. Why would anyone be against diversity. equity, and, inclusion, which are foundations of our democracy? It is just plain racism and bigotry!

So, I don’t care about this particular man, but I do want to point out that immigration officials pulled this woman aside after a trip to Puerto Rico, which is…not a foreign destination, which means they’re pulling and detaining legal immigrants in the regular degular airport. Be safe.

A teacher in Idaho has been told to remove posters reading "Everyone is welcome here" - specifically because it features different skin tones. As I wrote last week, this is a global political movement that has explicitly set the goal of eradicating the very concept of equality.
