Give this photo a Pulitzer

you have to be genuinely stupid as fuck to think american companies are going to respond to tariffs by building factories and moving manufacturing to the US. i don't know how else to say it. you have to be genuinely braindead

Agnotogenesis

I’m not going to read your “how to defeat fascism” post if it’s on Substack, a platform that actively supports fascists.

Every hundred years

Brandon’s compiled our industry’s anxiety in a tidy list for your reference. Specialty tea lovers will surely spot their favorite growing regions here and feel their stomachs drop like ours did yesterday. Remember as well: tea, coffee, wine, and chocolate all tend to rise and fall together.

TIME TO DROP THAT MEME AGAIN BABEYY

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A “TRADE DEFICIT”—IT’S JUST CALLED “BUYING THINGS.” YOU DO NOT HAVE A TRADE DEFICIT WITH YOUR DENTIST JUST BECAUSE HE NEVER BUYS ANYTHING FROM YOU.

We go now live to our economics editor who has broken out the good whiskey and seems to be playing with a revolver. How are the markets reacting Greg

Guess where they got their weird trade deficit math from?

if the united states ever has even a hope of recovering we have to destroy the idea of american individualism. "they don't owe you anything" we owe each other everything actually

A round of applause for this guy, tho? (Ben’s the chair of the Dems in WI. And a hell of an organizer. Obviously.)

Masking discourse is on again and I’ll just say if you see people masking when few others are it’s likely because they’ve determined that for them, in that setting, the benefit of not catching (or spreading) whatever’s going around is worth the cost of masking. It’s rarely more complicated than that

Today, my son Sam and I showed Speaker Johnson why you don't mess with moms. Thanks to overwhelming bipartisan support, we stopped the Speaker’s attempt to kill our resolution to allow new parents in Congress to vote remotely. Thank you to everyone who stood with us today.

This. Authoritarians win by creating an atmosphere of hopelessness in order to preemptively suppress mass actions that could effectively challenge their power. Every single public act of defiance plays a critical role in stopping them.

This—what Trump is doing now in trying to destroy American universities, research, and free speech while blaming it on pretend offense to the Jews is certainly the most profoundly antisemitic act I’ve seen from US government in my lifetime.

everyone should be calling this what it is, which is murder. every cut to social security, to medicaid, means people who depend on those programs will die, which is the goal. these are the Death Panels the right lied about

The Trump administration’s actions indicate that they’re supportive of men being able to do whatever they want to women—including sexual assault, physical assault, murder. And Vance has already been touting ending no-fault divorce, locking women in abusive marriages. There. Is. No. Bottom. Here.

Elon’s own AI bot is calling this illegal ⚰️

i think these people are in the grip of a genuine delusion www.nbcchicago.com/news/busines...

As your congresswoman, I will allow transgender for everybody.

I keep thinking back to Project 2025's Kevin Roberts saying last July that "the second American Revolution ... will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.” Trump didn't win a majority of the popular vote last year. His fascist movement aims to make its dominance appear inevitable. It's not.

***Taps the sign again.

worth saying again that this was a bait and switch. if trump had openly announced he was running on allowing companies to discriminate against women and minorities he would not have won wapo.st/43aVQg1

"We’re witnessing the self-sabotage of the United States" from @davidfrum.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

a maximalist strategy of opposition against every nominee as unqualified would have stood a better chance of creating the kind of public outrage that might have led to more republican defections, but i'm sure the imaginary family that chuck schumer relies on to guide his decisions disagreed

this is literally the entire budget for Medicaid btw. this is a literal death sentence for millions of people

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!

Unelected agents of a oligarch have seized core services of the state without legal sanction or authorization; yes, that's a coup

If you are in danger unless you comply with a regime, you are in danger whether you comply or not

Its been not even two weeks and they’re collapsing the economy, attempting a coup of the administrative state, and talking about building a concentration camp are you ever going to say anything bad about the GOP or are you gonna keep on with this stupid act

This administration is a death cult.
