Trump's sees his new import taxes as “liberation day.” Erica York, the Tax Foundation’s VP of federal tax policy, said “Trump’s tariffs will hurt American businesses, increase the tax burden on the working-class, and ignite a destructive global trade war." Cheers to being liberated.👍

Travel from Canada to the US is steadily dropping, thanks to Trump's repeated assertions other nations will bend to his trade war. Canada, a close US ally, has rebelled against Trump’s threats. The international image of the US has become that of a pariah. Does he think the US lives in a vacuum?

In "a new Gallup poll, Americans don't like what Trump is doing," Rachel Maddow concluded: He's underwater on his handling of the federal budget, the economy, energy policy, foreign affairs, the Ukraine war, the environment, his relations with Russia & with the news media!" All else looks good.

Pramila Jayapal, Trump doesn’t care about the cost of eggs or anything else that affects your daily life. He’s not fighting for the people. He’s fighting for control, unchecked power, and enriching the wealthy. We will not stand by and let him destroy our democracy.

Trump’s ‘America First’ MAGA movement turned the Republican Party into an ‘arm of the Kremlin.' “The truth is that MAGA rejects modern America,” Alexei Bayer wrote in The Globalist last year, rubbishing MAGA's claims to patriotism. “It hates diversity, minority rights and permissiveness.”

The Enabling Act allowed Hitler to enact laws that violated the Constitution without the approval of parliament or the President. The Supreme Court did not challenge the Act, viewed Hitler's government as legit, & saw themselves as "state servants who owed him their allegiance and support."

A minor punishment for a failed Beer Hall Putsch, the rounding up of political adversaries, and appeasement by those around him Hitler demolished the democracy of the Weimar Republic in 53 days. After naming himself Führer, he gained full control over the government and army. Anything familiar?

Trump has little remorse about workers losing their jobs. “Many of them don’t work at all...many of them never showed up to work." By Musk’s standards, the president hasn’t exactly been showing up to work either. He has played golf on 13 of his first 48 days back in office. Tee off time anyone?

Trump is a cancer attacking the body politic in the name of healthy cutbacks and improvements to democracy. Just ignore him parallels the thinking of the Germans and Italians in the WW2 era. Silence is not an answer to a bullying authoritarian any more than ignoring cancer makes it go away.

Since the 2024 election, there has been no centralized movement to organize the anti-Trump resistance to stop Trump's aggressive moves. Who should fill the leadership void and galvanize the anti-Trump resistance against the authoritarian attack on American democracy?

Any thoughts on Trump's "unofficial" State of the Union address last night? I heard the usual lies and promises of nothing for the American people from whom he received only 48% of the popular vote. He has no mandate. Consider how to push back against the bloated pig who Putin plays for a fool.
