Last year, Kamala Harris visited Puerto Rico and I asked for any maps that they used to see if they had to account for Puerto Rico's pothole-filled roads. Sadly, no maps. Instead, I got a heavily redacted Secret Service presentation. Find more at: heavyweather.media/weather-report-7/

I don’t think most Americans realize how devastating Trump’s tariffs are on developing countries still trapped in paying of development debts (thanks to legacies of colonization). How this will impact the poorest of the world. F*ck you Trump et al. I hope you all rot in hell.

Yes there will be people who are not the exact type of lefty as you at a protest. a lot of it will be cringe perhaps. No it will not solve all of the real problems. Do it anyway. You will be glad you did.

The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people. We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.

Happening now: a tremendous number of people are streaming into downtown Chicago for today's day of action. The rally/march hasn't started yet and Daley Plaza is already packed, with thousands more expected. Haven't seen a crowd this large in a while.

Puerto Rico imports about 85% of the food we eat, and when you couple the new tariff scheme with the Jones Act, things are going to get expensive as shit in the archipelago. heavyweather.media/liberation-t...

For years, it’s been clear that the Trump admin was looking at human rights being ignored or outright eliminated in other countries as a an example of what they could do here if they came to power. The question is which country are they going to copy next.
