🚨 🚨 There it is. In the Oval Office, and on camera, Trump is discussing sending AMERICAN CITIZENS to the prison and death camp, CECOT. In the same motion, he is openly defying Supreme Court orders and we now OFFICIALLY have an unchecked president and constitutional crisis…

This is exactly the situation where I grew up in rural VA - as a pizza delivery boy on the lunch shift my big orders were from textile plants and the Wrangler jeans factory. All that evaporated in the 80s, but local government did nothing to bring in anything else except a Walmart.

Citizen diplomacy in the era of Trump. “The plan is on that weekend, May 9th to 11th, at any of our businesses, if you come down and show a Canadian ID, or ask a question that ends with ‘eh?’, we’ll give you a price at par for the Canadian dollar,” Wright said.

"Corrective care." I think that's also known as "conversion therapy."

PNW Proud! And it's "Scary Ann," not Carrie-Ann. One of our friends was one of the "staff" who stalked down to the sidewalk to confront the thugs. It's a good thing they got back in their car. Note that the teen troublemaker is the son of an Episcopal Minister.

Thanks for looking out for the little guy, Jamie Dimon. But keeping “the world safe and free for democracy” matters more than short-term economic results, Dimon said. “I really almost don’t care fundamentally about what the economy does next,” he said. wapo.st/42GVEEv

"The fundamental truth of Donald Trump is that he apparently cannot conceive of any relationship between individuals, peoples or states as anything other than a status game, a competition for dominance."

HRT drugs, like Estrogen, are manufactured in India, and currently cost me $10 a month with my insurance. Expect that this will be another way in which the regime will attempt to cancel trans people, by making HRT drugs scarce and expensive.

The sheer pettiness and contempt of this regime is what it will likely be largely known for (aside from destroying the global economy).

This interview could have been conducted with me, or any dozen other people I know. And I too have come to the conclusion that we are experiencing the death throes of neo-liberalism, and the best we can do is try to hang on to get to what's on the other side.

trump, musk, et al. wanna crash the economy so they can swoop in and buy up everything at drastically reduced stock prices and embiggen their already massive fortunes, and the little people this will kill or ruin is a feature, not a bug. Good evening.

The scholars who have studied the dark times keep warning that fascism begins not with jackboots on the march, but with empathy in retreat, and I fear, my friends, that this pandemic has convinced too many people that protecting each other is just too much work.

All these cars were unloaded from a ship two days ago, in what I expect was an attempt to get them into the country before tariffs went into effect.
