There is no clearer way to say it. Letters from an American - April 13 @hcrichardson.bsky.social

Fascists speak in emotion, not facts. I see people disputing this utter nonsense as if it’s a fact claim, and correction will counter it. But it’s communicating “don’t you love cruelty to brown people? Isn’t hurting this innocent man thrilling? You’re a victim, so you’re entitled to feel that way.”

They're going to start "deporting" Americans who aren't Trump loyalists. newrepublic.com/post/193751/... Reminder: the Germans said they were "deporting" the Jews.

Genuinely amazing that Trump has devised a tariff regime that exempts phones manufactured in China but hammers anyone assembling electronics in the USA using parts made in China. Cannot *wait* to see how his boosters explain that decision as genius.

If the belief system you've been sold doesn't depend on observable evidence for proof, then you're being scammed. Sorry.

A Trump official told Congress today that trade deficits are a “national emergency.” Either he really doesn’t understand what trade deficits actually are (hint: I have a trade deficit with my grocery store), or he’s really counting on us not understanding what trade deficits actually are. Or both.
