We don’t talk nearly as much about MN but this video highlights they are at the “hide families in their basement” phase of protecting their neighbors. WTF is wrong with our country? We are getting it wrong on so many fronts. I know that’s the point, but when do we rise up in the tens of millions?

VOTE 🔵 VOTE 🔵

Voting day is Tuesday, March 3rd.

How long are we going to allow a man suffering from dementia to make life and death decisions for THE WORLD?

So they have no plan. Got it.

#NorthCarolina voters, there’s only one party that supports democracy and serves its constituents and that’s the Democrats!

Vote the republican enabling regime out!

Every Epstein abuser should be held accountable & obviously that hasn’t happened!

US Central Command said three of its F-15 jets "went down over Kuwait due to an apparent friendly fire incident". All six crew ejected safely and have been recovered, it added. #Kuwait #F15 #Jets #Ira... TikTok video by BBC News

A fourth US service member has reportedly been killed in Trump’s illegal war

And the Pentagon confirmed that three American F-15 fighter jets were shot down over Kuwait-apparently by friendly fire

A despicable waste of life and resources in a wholly unnecessary conflict

“Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear—not absence of fear.”

~ Mark Twain

While corporate America stayed silent, a small wine importer risked his business to challenge Trump’s tariffs.

Thank you 🫂 VOS Selections,

Maya Angelou considered courage the most important virtue, without which no other (kindness, honesty, justice) can be practiced consistently. According to her, it is not the absence of fear, but the ability to face it & act despite it, even in small, everyday situations.

Cheers🥂

When I said I was going to do it—I thought I was going to get into some kind of class action lawsuit. I just knew the tariffs were bad. I didn't even know anything about the constitutionality of using tariffs under the IEEPA. A brave man who stood up to a giant & won. Victor Schwartz.

Thread 10/10🧵

”Fearlessness doesn't mean you don't have fear. It means the courage to face fear, to know what it is, but to have the courage to face it. So it's actually fearlessness, which is more about fighting fear & having the courage to admit it, but still moving forward.”

Thread 9/10🧵

...our company's slogan has been "Courageous Import" for several years now. Originally, I meant that we have the courage to import wines or liqueurs that people have never heard of, from small producers. But during the legal process, the slogan took on another meaning...

Thread 8/10🧵

When we ordered a particular wine, we didn't even know it would have such a duty. It takes months for wine to get here from Europe. It's complicated. We're a small company, I can't go to the capital market to get money to pay the duties. So we cut back. We reduced our inventory.

Thread 7/10🧵

We import from 16 countries. At one point, Trump threatened 50 percent tariffs on everything from the European Union. We have hundreds of products, and for some of them we had to change the price lists four times in a row.

Thread 6/10🧵

The container arrives at the port. You fill out the paperwork and they tell you how much you're going to pay - you owe us this much in fees. There are tariffs that we still have to pay, and then there are tariffs. So they tell you: Do you want your goods? Pay this much and that much.

Thread 5/10🧵

There is no retailer in 🇺🇲 that sells exclusively domestic wine, that's not possible. We have to buy from abroad, all the sophisticated machinery that winemakers use is made in 🇦🇹 or 🇨🇭.

🇮🇹 makes the corks/boxes/glass. We live in a globalized world & tariffs are like closing the borders.

Thread 4/10🧵

The government basically cut itself off. They inherited a country & an economy that was recovering from the pandemic but was headed in the right direction & they just ruined it—created chaos, they had no plan, no idea what the consequences would be, they didn't listen to the experts...

Thread 3/10🧵

Victor Schwartz, wine merchant:
”I started my business 40 years ago, I've been through a lot of different things. We've been through 9/11. We've been through a recession, a lot of things, but nothing like this. It was probably the worst year in the history of business.”

Thread 2/10🧵

When the US Supreme Court struck down US import tariffs & ruled that Trump had unlawfully imposed them last April, the hero of the day was Schwartz, the owner of a small New York wine import company. He decided to sue the President of the United States himself, regardless of the risk.

#Texas voters, the current republican regime has laid siege to the state of Minnesota for the past few months without legitimate reason resulting in the murder of two innocent Minnesotans!

Vote every republican OUT!

#Voices4Victory

The glibness. The indifference. The carelessness. The utter lack of planning for a war against a country of 90M. The sickness of a man who acts on whim that will kill thousands not hundreds. The horror of a regime that enables this sickness. The broken body politic that votes in such malignancy.

The lying. The deflection. The arrogance. The shifting rationale in support of an illegal war. The refusal to consult Congress. The fact that he casually discusses draperies while American soldiers are dying. The cowardice of a political party that won’t take action to stop his rampant lawlessness

@rebeccabennettforcongress.com, thanks for representing the majority of the electorate in opposing a Roxbury ICE Detention Center

Sadly, your opponent Tom Kean Jr (R-NJ7) only represents big ugly billionaires & Noem.

Bombs are dropping on American troops. Three are dead.

So Trump throws a party?
