I posted about how tariffs will hurt Mississippians (our biggest trade partners are on the list) on Facebook. I got lots of interesting comments. But the one I paid attention to was a friend who owns a company. He is very worried: The NY Times wrote about how he survived covid shipping disruptions.

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options. Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

Abolishing DEI policies will result in one thing: eliminating jobs for anyone not a white male. Think I’m overreacting, look at Iran. States are already following the Project 25 agenda and introducing legislation to eliminate DEI policies in any place they can. 🧵

The truth about Trump's tariffs is that the only people who will end up paying for them are you and me. He's eagerly awaiting the opportunity to dole out exceptions to anyone who gives him favors in return.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
