When multiple MAGA weirdos across the country are straight up kidnapping people by pretending to be ICE agents, fascism isn't on the way... it's here with it's feet kicked up. www.newsnationnow.com/us-news/immi...

Let’s break this down: in summary- he’s shat his pants because US treasury bonds were being sold off like lemonade in a desert. He’s fucked up big time. And any other spin is bullshit.

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

“We didn’t vote for this.” Well, yeah, you did because he had a whole 900 page book outlining his plans. Plus, the Black lady warned us. Stop making excuses

Presenting this departure as a strategic or moral decision is a deliberate manipulation of public perception. In truth, Musk was constrained by statute, not conviction. The narrative disguises compliance as autonomy.

An underrated factor in how we got ourselves into this mess is that Americans are increasingly relying on computers and the internet instead of their own critical thinking faculties (AI is making this even worse), and as a result are uninformed and easy to manipulate.

Over 1,000 kids, elders with canes, moms with babies in strollers, dads, veterans, former Republicans & others showed up today in Newtown, Connecticut to tell Trump/Musk to keep their #HandsOff gun control, democracy, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, Ukraine, Women, LGBTQ. Civil Rights, DEI…

The message is: crowd large. Many politicians, administrators, and business leaders, in bowing to Trump, have drawn confidence and comfort from the perceived vibe shift. Events like this puncture that delusion.

Decades ago Malcolm X, a Black man born in America, was derided for stating that he is not an American. If you are just now getting hip to the American nightmare, check your privilege. Donald Trump is the obvious byproduct of the same system that was oppressing us in Malcolm's day.

Thank you and congratulations to all the Americans who voted for the candidate promising to raise prices because they were concerned about high prices, and thought curbing pandemic inflation faster than any other developed economy was bad economic management.

The bodies of 4 soldiers arrived at Dover Air force base. Normally a president would be there to receive them. Tornadoes & violent wind flattened homes & buildings from Oklahoma to Indiana killing at least 7 Normally a president would tour the area & see how to help Trump is golfing

We just ordered some pizza. The pizza place did not order anything from us in return. Does this mean we’re “losing” our trade deficit with the pizza place? 🍕 🤔

A lot of people do not know basic math or how percentages work and it shows. (This is not only in reference to tariffs)

Here’s the thing about the tariffs: there will be no “short term pain”. Only long term. Every time a company realizes they can get away with charging you extra they don’t ever lower the price again. They just gouge. Whatever price hikes there are will be here for good.

OPINION: "Here’s the hard truth: opting out of the system only empowers those who wish to suppress our voices. Every major civil-rights victory in American history has come from sustained advocacy & collective action. Our ancestors bled & died for the right to vote," Malone writes.

There’s people genuinely surprised that Donald Trump implemented the policy he ran on instead of the one they made up in their heads.

It perfectly exposes the systemic racism in the United States, Booker, AOC, Crockett etc. have never had the privilege to not recall something off hand, to make a mistake. The required perfection they experience is not expected from their white (especially male) colleagues.

I spoke to a South Carolina woman today who is miscarrying - her fetus has no heartbeat - but the state's ban is preventing doctors from taking action. She has to walk around with a dead fetus for another week so she can get a FOURTH ultrasound. This is what bans do.

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.

Ryan Gellert, CEO at Patagonia, reminds us why protecting our public lands is vital: They support a $1.2 trillion outdoor recreation industry and millions of jobs. As threats of development loom, we must prioritize long-term conservation over short-term gains.
