Let’s be clear. He sold $2.4 billion of his stock the day before he announced tariffs. He’s now crashing the stock market deliberately. He will then buy stock when it’s fallen through the floor. All this is is him stiffing everyone to get richer. That’s it.

Sending anyone from this country to a foreign gulag, particularly without a court hearing, should rightfully end a presidency. Full stop.

Beside measles outbreaks, we are likely to see resurgence of: - HIV - Tuberculosis - STIs (Syphilis, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea) - A worse flu season - other vaccine preventable diseases. Because that's what happens when you gut public health, defund research and promote vaccine misinformation.

Most people in the United States who have never faced housing insecurity have no idea how easy it is to evict someone in this country. Before the pandemic, every US state evicted more people annually than all of mainland Europe COMBINED. Many states don't even allow counterclaims in evictions.

When I think of Clem Burke, I always think of this masterclass in drums and cymbals. Try playing it in one pass without making any mistakes. Clem played it perfectly, time after time. Godspeed Clem, you were one of the best of your era. #Clem_Burke youtu.be/O_WLw_0DFQQ?...

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

I can only imagine the bailout package they are drawing up for themselves. As the saying goes, privatize the profits, and socialize the losses.

I just learned that my neighbor is being held in an ICE facility and facing deportation. He's lived in my town most of his life and is just a nice guy who takes care of his family and works hard and is a part of this community. This is institutional kidnapping with no positive outcome for anyone.

It’s a recalibration of economic control. Oligarchs don’t live paycheck to paycheck. They have the capital to buy market dips and recoup faster, acquiring more assets at fire sale prices along the way. When the dust finally settles, they will own more. The rest of us will own less. A lot less.

What are the odds that enough Supreme Court Justices believe we shouldn't put people in foreign torture prisons without due process & especially when the government misrepresents the evidence it has in briefs it submits to the Court?

Donald Trump doesn't understand the importance or value of the arts. But the students at Equity Arc Pathways Orchestra won't be held down by his attempts to silence their instruments. Honored to hear them at the @chicagosymphony.bsky.social to kick off the Chicago Youth in Music Festival.

In Lafayette, Indiana, a MAGA terrorist attempted to intimidate peaceful USians demonstrating against fascism. When his efforts failed, he returned with an AR rifle, threatening a massacre. He was briefly arrested and then released back into the community.
