Everything’s going to get more expensive. #TrumpTaxes Trump tariffs on Canada and Mexico will go ahead, he says www.npr.org/2025/03/03/n...

Yeah, this will end well… Why the job cuts at bank regulator FDIC are raising alarms www.npr.org/2025/02/27/n...

Today I did the infamous Bed-of-Nails demonstration in my physics classes. Coolest. Demo. Ever! Link to slo-mo video from 2009 of me performing the demonstration on a casino stage in Las Vegas (I’m laying down). 👍 🙂 #physicsnerd4life youtu.be/pGiLYt9clfQ?...

stocks.apple.com/AyuNiIO5rQqW... Cars, construction, home-building, etc are about to get a lot more expensive. And you’re going to pay for it. #TrumpTaxes

Today there was a protest at a local Tesla dealership, and some MAGA folks showed up in counter-protest. The protesters had over 550 people show up, and MAGA had only about 50. Anyone who tries to tell you that MAGA represents the view of the majority of Americans, they don't. 🙂 💪 🇺🇸

This stuff with “cutting waste” is all smoke and mirrors. The end result will be astronomically high deficits (way higher than ever before), reduced benefits to everyday taxpayers (benefits we paid for), and all that money will be redistributed to their billionaire buddies 🤔

This stuff with “cutting waste” is all smoke and mirrors. Their math just doesn’t add up 🤔 stocks.apple.com/AMiMIOVk5Q9O...

Left-of-center friends… please write postcards to voters in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race this April. The results of this race could have national implications for the 2026 midterms and beyond. Turn your anger into action! shop.bluewavepostcards.org/pages/write-...

Do not believe any claims that this was done to “save money.” IRS workers have been shown to bring in more money than they cost by enforcing tax laws. So, the federal government actually loses money by laying off these employees.(gift link) wapo.st/415vyZP

Oh yeah, this just screams competence. 🤦‍♂️ apnews.com/article/usda...

I thought he wanted to keep us out of foreign entanglements? www.reuters.com/world/trump-...

Don’t forget that local & state level elections matter! For example, the balance of the Wisconsin Supreme Court is on the line in the April 1st election. The liberals now hold a 4-3 majority, so I'm recommending to all my Midwestern friends to support Justice Susan Crawford! www.crawfordforwi.com

Trump blinked. On Canada, too.

Trump’s Tax… That’s what everyone should be calling these higher prices that result from the tariffs. #trumpstax

If you know of anyone who might get caught up in the dragnet of ICE raids, please pass this around. People - whether they are citizens or not - need to know they have rights here in the U.S. immigrantjustice.org?fbclid=IwZXh...

Turn your anxiety into action. Organize. Resist. Fight back!

Zen and the Art of Miniatures Progress on this weird Three Stooges troll I think it’s going to be pretty rad when I’m finished with it :)

This is good news. So good in fact that I don’t care who claims credit for it, though I’ll acknowledge that while the Biden administration did the heavy lifting there was input from Trump’s transition team as well. www.npr.org/2025/01/15/g...

Musk accepts human-caused climate change, and he might actually influence Trump to make positive moves on the issue. While I don’t like either man’s politics, I can appreciate the irony. Reminds me of the old Vulcan saying: “Only Nixon can go to China.” 🖖 www.politico.com/news/2024/08...

Y'all taking time to make comments & speculate about the L.A. wildfires: donate to the Red Cross; and if you don't have money to donate, please at least share this post. We’re all in this together; remember that the next disaster could hit your community. www.redcross.org/donate/donat...
