Trump has no plan with tariffs to build up U.S. manufacturing. He personally bankrupted most of his businesses except those asking for money from his brainwashed supporters or those deals with payoffs for presidential support. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

If you want to f*ck up a nation, elect the wealthiest men around who never labored a day in their lives. Cheer them on with men & women who don’t value their own labor or minds, & think the ultra wealthy who don’t treat anyone well, will respect & help them. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Trump’s order for a 30,000-bed detention facility at the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to detain migrants he called "the worst criminal illegal aliens threatening the American people.” Trump sees every immigrant as “the worst criminal”. Even your favorite Mexican restaurant cook.

As Trump makes history smashing our Fed government & threatening states, there is no time to reflect on history, other than we are living a redux of the Civil War. Ideology of race, gender, autocratic power & money are wielding the ax, rope & machine guns. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

It’s ever more easy for billionaires & oligarchs to buy government since internet & social media developed. The ability to operate in the background with algorithms is powerful. In the 50s, movies, parents & leaders warned against political “brainwashing” after Hitler & Stalin did this effectively.

The U.S. is in a state of white oligarch lawlessness, similar to post Civil War Reconstruction when white plantation owners rallied poor whites to intimidate, even kill without accountability anyone in the way of the ruthless oligarchs. Blacks, non-whites and whites who tried to protect minorities.

“He who saves his Country,” Trump posted on Saturday, “does not violate any Law.” If we buy guns to defend ourselves & show up in DC, we can shoot our way into the White House & DOGE central? We are not violating any Law? Clearly the Gun Lobby’s US Supreme Court’s decision gives us this right? OK.
