We are 8.2 billion people. One person (supported by a couple hundred members of Congress) should not be able to do this.

Dictators of all stripes hate solidarity. They’d prefer that we cower alone. They want us to feel powerless. This is why I encourage you to participate in the peaceful demonstrations planned for today across America. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/april-5-hands-off-our-healthcare

America has a huge propaganda problem, and it’s the main reason why we’re here.

submitted 17 hours ago • 6 comments

1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse. 2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report." 3) Every time I've checked in today, the coverage has been "illegal immigrants committing new crimes." This is state propaganda, on a par with North Korea or PRC.

BREAKING: Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell says that bigger-than-expected tariffs will translate into higher inflation and slower economic growth — and that the higher inflation could be persistent, not temporary

Robert Wolf on Fox News: "This big beautiful economy that actually was rolling pretty good with jobs and inflation coming down feels more like the Game of Thrones red wedding. I mean, it's not going well."

Interestingly enough, if you take the top 10 largest dollar drops, the entire chart is Trump and Bush 43. Weird how Obama and Biden aren’t on there, despite the growth of the $DJIA over the years.

Every year Putin has been allowed to exist was a mistake. There has always been a lot of "hot potato" that gets played in politics, where no one wants to deal with the hard stuff and would rather pass it on to someone else. Problems that are passed to others...get bigger. Always.

Putin just pulled off the heist of the century, got the whole world tangled in a tariff war with the U.S., destroying the dollar, tanked our stock market, and shoving us to the a great recession. All in under three months. With our (or his) president holding the door open.

Yep. Ten days after the election, commenting on Trump’s initial cabinet picks, I observed that those choices were exactly the ones you’d make “if you were actively trying to do harm to the country.” He hasn’t stopped since.

I don't expect any of our major media outlets to acknowledge this outright, but this is the thing: These aren't 'steep' tariffs, these are _insane_ tariffs. These are 'nobody in the White House understands decimal points' numbers. It speaks to total economic illiteracy _throughout the White House_.

Their goal is to destroy this country. Donald Trump is fucking things up far worse than anyone else ever has. It's not due to some unforeseen "event." It's because Donald Trump is choosing this. POTUS. Is. Choosing. This.

The IRS unit that audits ultrawealthy earners has lost 38% of its employees this year. This will starve the government of revenue by making it easier for the rich to evade taxes — which the top 1% already do to the tune of $163B a year. See what DOGE is really about?
