The point of the “Liberation Day” tariffs was to “normalize” the 10% tariffs on every product coming into the country, essentially adding a 10% sales tax (a regressive tax) on everything we purchase so that we are unable to see, transparently, how much of this is going to the government. Part 1

Canada has a tariff rate of 25%% on all goods entering the US. Mexico has a tariff rate of 25%% on all goods entering the US. Canadian Imports to the US in 2024 were $412.7 billion. Mexican Imports to the US in 2024 were $505.85 billion. Part 2

This totals over $918 billion, though with 25% tariffs, this will undoubtedly shrink. But when Trump “magnanimously” reduces the rate to 10%, and trade between these two countries rises back to previous levels (because it's not as bad as it could be), he now gets to pocket $91.8 billion. Part 3

Total Imports into the US, excluding China: $2.963 trillion. With tariffs at 10%, $296.3 billion was generated in revenue. Most people will accept this additional sales tax and blame the manufacturers or suppliers for their greed because there is no straightforward way to demonstrate… Part 4

… place him in that office. This whole scheme is an elaborate plan for more handouts for billionaires. The other instances of graft and corruption that have occurred along the way are merely gravy to keep his political allies satisfied with their own ill-gotten gains.

This week the system worked. Donald Trump blinked. The unwinding is still just beginning. It will be painful and tumultuous. A grief-filled fight lies ahead over whether his trade actions have even been legal and constitutional.

Yo! Shoutout to AOC & Bernie for leading by example — showing up, speaking truth & organizing w/the people, not just talking at them from D.C. We need that same energy from all Dems. Whether it’s 35,000 or 35 people — show up. Hit the streets, hit the town halls, show you’re ready to fight for us.

The boycott is working, Target’s stock has declined for 10 consecutive weeks. It’s the longest losing streak in the company’s history. I don’t know which business owner needs to hear this, but you don’t magically get conservative customers by betraying your liberal ones. Go anti-woke, go broke. 📉

It cannot be overstated how HUGE this is that 36K people showed. This is the same weekend as COACHELLA and a DODGERS game literally happening nearby.
