I understand.

Thanks for your comment, but I don't support calls for violence of any kind on my feed.

Tariffs without Congressional approval are taxation without representation. Time to throw tea into the harbor.

News Analysis Trump’s Tariffs Are Making Money. That May Make Them Hard to Quit. The tariffs are a substantial new source of revenue for the federal government. The budget may start to depend on it.

A "substantial new source of revenue" the "budget may start to depend on" that will be "hard to quit."
IT'S A TAX. Use the damned language, #BrokenTimes. Throw away your thesaurus and get a damned dictionary.

😘

Curious is not exactly the word I would use, but yeah.

Just gonna sit with this for the evening.
Take care of yourselves, my friends.

No food assistance in an economy where grocery prices are rising. No medical care for nonwealthy families. Public education is being forced to circle the drain. Basic housing is out of reach for many. And now, children who may not have childcare won't have their PBS TV shows.

But guns for all.

And his gullible high IQ base as well. There are plenty of those in the cult too, alas.

Epstein is also important. It's just a nonstop flurry and we're all juggling.

This feels like a death in the family. The matriarch who made sure everyone had everything they needed —an education that sparked inspiration, a sense of community, kindness and endless lessons on how to be good and honest. She has died and the world feels unfamiliar and strange.

This is the content Twitter now recommends when you open the app.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting is shutting down. Most employees will be gone next month. And with it, we lose one of the last public platforms where truth wasn’t for sale.

Will listen, thanks.

With each accommodation this administration makes for Ghislaine Maxwell, it retraumatizes the victims and minimizes the harm she caused. And we're supposed to believe that these are the people who are super concerned with pedophelia and sex trafficking? Are MAGA supporters still buying this shit?

These are the people we're supposed to believe want to protect cis women from trans athletes and all women from the evils of reproductive healthcare.

I discovered him only recently. He doesn't tour the US, so I watch whatever I can find on YouTube. Check out his Rach 2.
🙌🙌🙌

More like he just didn't like them.

I love all of this.
And here is Brahms's version for solo piano, left hand only.

Sokolov is a pianist worth knowing - one of the best.

Great day for everyone whose 2024 brand move was claiming that Dems were exaggerating how bad Trump would be.

Trump's highly dangerous nuclear submarine "announcement" is a small font headline below the fold on the front page of the NYT.

Above? Tariffs, global trade, BLS jobs report and firing of commissioner, tariffs and more tariffs. The zone is beyond flooded.

"You play with my world like it's your little toy."
Dylan nailed it in Masters of War.

Then he bleats something incoherent about how important words are because they often lead to "unintended consequences."

Up until now, nuclear submarine movements have been among the Pentagon’s most closely held tactical maneuvers. But Trump just splattered them out on his social media, and of course, no one knows if he means it or not.

You misspelled if.

Not to mention...

Let's not lose sight of the fact that the tax dollars of hard-working people struggling to make rent, buy food, pay down education loans - and generally hoping to get by - are funding the $200 million glitz-trash ballroom in the White House.

Welp.
