Since being cast from the Facebook garden, I'll need to diversify my mission here to include these failed ambitions: 1) My dream to make this Trestlemania post finally go viral, and 2) Can AI finally create a shot for shot remake the GoGos 'Head Over Heels' video, but with claymation tyrannosauruses

Anne Applebaum does good work based on real-world experience with autocracy and corruption, particularly in Russia and Hungary. She knows her stuff.

Americans thinking they have won over China really shows how little Americans know about China. Fox News might feed the propaganda. But the reality for America is dire to say the least. If this really escalates. China will play hardball. China will do two things

If I were Judge Xinis, I would order the government to produce, in her courtroom, officials who were in a position to answer her questions and to do so under oath. Letting DOJ continue to prevaricate and deflect responsibility in written submissions seems ... insufficient at this point.

People were informed about Trumps tariff announcement prior to his social media post or official announcement. This is a clear case of insider fraud and market manipulation.

I don't think people realize that in important respects tariffs are now higher & more inflationary than what was announced on last Wednesday. Since then we've gone from 54% to 125% on China, our 3rd largest trading partner. That outweighs delaying the increases on 70+ others.

Everybody romanticizing about the heyday of American manufacturing needs to carefully listen to one (1) Bruce Springsteen song.

As my grandmother neighbor readied herself and her sign for our local #handsoff rally, she said she wasn't sure what difference it would make, but said it felt like all she could do right now. I assured her it's more than many would be doing. I hope she's feeling the world's love and adoration today

Vandalism of someone's personal property/space and third-ring attacks always struck me as guaranteed to turn centrists against a cause. I've always had a hard time believing anyone carrying out those types of attacks aren't doing it for that exact reason.

If the red hat gang is so riled to see communities other than their own unite and prosper that they are willing to go anti enlightenment and immolate their own economies, they're going to go full poop flinging ape to see how quickly and completely every other country unites and prospers without us.

I'm old enough to remember people living as adults who survived polio. It occurred to me I haven't seen that for at least 40 years now. My grandmother used to say, "There are worse things than death." We are dealing with generations who never witnessed these things.

No matter how deep the hate and bigotry run in your bones, just know that if you cheer for violating due process, threatening lives, frightening communities, and terrorizing children, when they're done with them, you’re next.

A US-born citizen was walking near Chicago in January. ICE snatched him off the street, handcuffed him, threw into a van. His wallet, which contained his ID, was confiscated. He was detained for 10 hours before being released without a record of what occurred. immigrantjustice.org/sites/defaul...
