Slam the courts with habeas petitions. Strike. Send millions of letters. Name and shame those who do nothing. Call for disbarment of lawyers and judges who don’t uphold the law or accept lavish gifts. Boycott every major company. Don’t fund politicians who do less than call for those actions.

"He took his case to Europe. For closed-door meetings with EU’s heavy hitters. Japan was in the room too, listening closely. The pitch was simple: if Trump went too far with tariffs, Canada would start offloading Treasury bonds. A slow, steady bleed...." deanblundell.substack.com/p/carneys-ch...

I typically don’t cry on Sunday mornings while sipping my coffee and watching Meet the Press, but Ray Dalio just had me sobbing. I think he just predicted a depression, a Civil War, and a World War if things aren’t corrected immediately. I don’t trust a correction will happen.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

So many good quotes in this article: "We’re going to give up medical research, professional consulting and financial services surplus so that we can make T-shirts in the U.S.? Is that going to be good for productivity and U.S. exceptionalism?" #EconSky www.politico.com/news/magazin...
