#EconomicBlackout

🚨📉RECESSION? The Atlanta Fed GDPNow model as of February 28 now estimates real GDP growth in Q1 2025 in the United States to be -1.5% as net exports and personal consumption falls.

TOMORROW 👇👇👇

Yes. But they are missing that much of this has to be performative. That’s what Trump is great at and Dems are awful at. You can’t just tell voters , you have to know how to sell voters. Trump gives sales pitches, Dems show charts. One goes viral. The other is ignored and forgotten

How does this improve your life?

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

BREAKING NEWS: Starting Tuesday, nearly all imports from Canada and Mexico will be charged a 25% tariff, while goods from China will be charged a 10% tariff.

🚨 CANADA TO UNLEASH RETALIATION PLAN AGAINST U.S. TARIFFS TARGETED AT HURTING REPUBLICAN STATES THE MOST — NYT

🚨 PRESIDENT OF TRADE GROUP THAT INCLUDES CANADIAN MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS OF HONDA AND TOYOTA SAYS AUTOMAKERS ON BOTH SIDES OF BORDER WILL QUICKLY SHUT DOWN ASSEMBLY LINES UNDER NEW TARIFFS — NYT

A reminder: Tariffs are a regressive tax that drives up prices on everyday goods. They disproportionately hurt the working class and poor who bear the brunt of higher costs while wealthier consumers feel significantly less impact.

Take back your attention.

Fuck. This is so fucking stupid.

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

Over $56,000 raised for the Humane Society during our Puppy and Kitten Inauguration so far to help animals affected by the LA fires! Come join us:

RIP to one of my favorite artists and filmmakers, David Lunch

Director-writer David Lynch, who radicalized American film with with a dark, surrealistic artistic vision in films like “Blue Velvet” and “Mulholland Drive” and network television with “Twin Peaks,” has died. He was 78. bit.ly/40is3yQ

We have teamed up with Mendez & Sanchez to provide free In-N-Out Burgers, free drinks, and other free meals to first responders and those affected by the fires. Please share.

A large area of greater Los Angeles had unhealthy air Friday, due to particulate matter from large wildfires. Here are tips for breathing cleaner air indoors if it's smoky outside.

NEW: Firefighters from Mexico are en route to the #EatonFire — joining more than 10,000 personnel already on the ground. California is deeply grateful for President @claudiasheinbaum.bsky.social's support as we work to suppress the Los Angeles wildfires.

UPDATE: The number of dead tied to the wildfires increases as local officials warn the toll will increase. About 180,000 people have had to evacuate.

NEW: Containment of the #HurstFire is now at 37%. As of 3pm today, evacuation orders have been downgraded to warnings and lifted. Residents returning home are advised to observe extreme caution and to NOT drink the water until advised by LA Department of Water & Power. Stay safe and be alert.

The federal government typically covers 75% of rebuilding costs after a major disaster. President-elect Trump has threatened to withhold firefighting money from California. via @calmatters.org

The California National Guard has arrived to Los Angeles to support local law enforcement. Taking advantage of evacuated communities is absolutely sick.   Looting will not be tolerated.

NEW: Over 900 additional firefighters and 75 fire engines are being deployed to battle the #KennethFire.

Satellite images show the extent of devastation from multiple wildfires burning in Los Angeles County after one day. The fires have killed at least five people and destroyed thousands of structures.

There's a forgotten history that should serve as a warning — wildfire isn’t unique to the West. Now the warming climate is increasing the risk of major wildfires across America. And more people are moving to fire-prone areas without realizing the danger.

As wildfires rage across Los Angeles County, we’re starting to learn more about the memorable places we’ve lost. An unknown number of homes have gone up in flames. Much-loved eateries, places of worship, and stores have also burned down. via @laist.com

For SoCal friends, Here is a list of resources for shelter, animal boarding, free items, and distribution hubs. These places can also use donations (e.g., food, water, masks, and blankets). Please consider donating if you can. For more info, visit Instagram: mutualaidla
