Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration.

So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives.

So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

The Empty Library memorial located in the center of Berlin, to remember the book burnings done by Nazis...

How can we honor thousands of web pages erased from US federal servers by Trumpists?

The economy is in free fall.

The markets are collapsing.

Our soldiers are dying.

Our sensitive information is being leaked over text message and gmail.

Random people are being kidnapped and sent to foreign torture prisons.

And Trump is fucking golfing.

Trump: β€œAn old-fashioned term that we use, groceries. I used it on the campaign. It’s such an old-fashioned term, but a beautiful term, groceries. It sort of says a bag with different things in it.”

A Texas School Board Cut State-Approved Textbook Chapters About Diversity. A Board Member Says Material Violated the Law The decision to strip chapters from books that had already won the approval of the state’s Republican-controlled board of education represents an escalation in how local school boards run by…

NEW: The chapters, one board member argued, were inappropriate for students because they discussed β€œvaccines and polio,” touched on β€œtopics of depopulation,” had β€œan agenda out of the United Nations” and included β€œa perspective that humans are bad.”

Of course they can get him back. They’re paying El Salvador millions to keep these men in prison. They don’t want to bring him back because of the negative legal and media firestorm it will create.

Trump’s Pentagon is erasing Navajo Code Talkersβ€”Indigenous warriors who helped win WWIIβ€”from military websites. This isn’t about β€œefficiency.” It’s about whitewashing history and erasing those who don’t fit his MAGA narrative.

Dropkick Murphys just had an epic moment at their show:

They made a friendly wager with a fan in a MAGA shirtβ€”β€œLet’s see where it’s made.”

Then they checked his MAGA shirt tag…

Made in Nicaragua.

They swapped it with a Made in America Dropkick Murphys tee.

Legendary.

They'll dress it up as something you might not disagree with.

Then they'll declare any support for Palestinian statehood is the same as support for Hamas.

When you turn a blind eye to them taking away the rights of those you disagree with, you're only encouraging them to come for yours.

Trump’s tariffs are a tax on consumers. That is what is being said on all the financial shows this morning. Get set to pay more for everything from washing machines to cars. Who voted for a self-made recession by Trump?
