Overnight, we have all become pilgrims in an unholy land. We cannot let the contemptible choices of our governing elite define who we truly are as a people and a nation.

READ: Canadian PM Mark Carney's "slow bleed" U.S. T-bond selloff in coordination with Japan, UK and France wasn’t a bluff. It was a silent pact. A coordinated move to remind Trump that the free world doesn’t just roll over when he swings his tariff bat. deanblundell.substack.com/p/carneys-ch...

A billionaire oligarch publicly advocates for more serfs to be sent to labor in the mines. To the richest one percent living in their ivory towers, we regular folks are merely expendable assets who can be made to do any work-- tools to be discarded when we become too worn, broken, or independent.

Apparently, lead poisoning is now considered too "woke" for the federal government to devote scientific resources to? Or maybe it's because all the smart people who used to pursue these forensics have been fired, or have left on their own. If you get sick in Trump's America, you are on your own.

Rabid, government-approved Christian nationalism is quickly being institutionalized under Trump 2.0. Any American not bowing to the Christian God and Jesus had better start looking over their shoulder for the Religion Police.

Ever since America devolved into a fascist police state with Trump 2.0's ascendancy, I sorely miss waking up each morning secure in the knowledge that the leader of my country hasn't further alienated allies or annihilated economies with his bullying greed, malicious lies and world-class stupidity.

Regardless of what he may say, Trump is out to protect and promote only one person-- himself. He's not your salvation, he's every American's clearest and most present danger.

China raises tariffs on U.S. goods to 125% as trade war deepens Trump’s universal tariffs on China total 145%. When Trump announced Wednesday that China faced 125% tariffs, he did not include a 20% tariff on China tied to its role in fentanyl production.

Before we celebrate this as a win for rule of law, note that the SCOTUS decision says only that Trump 2.0 must "try" to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia from the El Salvadoran torture prison that they "mistakenly" human-trafficked him to. I doubt that they'll try very hard. www.cnn.com/2025/04/10/p...

Candidate Trump once boasted that he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and not lose any voters. Now, as president, he's brazenly manipulating U.S. stock markets, and yukking it up in public about how much richer it's making his billionaire buddies. newrepublic.com/post/193860/...

Proof positive that the only time Republican lawmakers ever even think about taking action against Trump is when it directly affects their personal finances. The rest of America can go to hell in a handbasket, but nothing must stop Rand Paul and his GOP cohorts from retiring as rich men.

Trump's greed is a bottomless pit. Any government that caves to his tariff threats will be shaken down for more and more money, without end. If you show a lack of resolve, you become a "sucker" to be taken. Please realize this, and hold the line against him now. Never negotiate with a terrorist.

MAGAts are the most willfully ignorant, proudly selfish people you will ever meet. I don't usually make a practice of wishing bad fortune on others, but here's hoping that they suffer as much or more than the rest of America for their foolish, mulish Trump idolatry.
