If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

It’s time for Congress to reign in the Mad King. These tariffs haven’t even hit for real and the world is off the rails.

Politically, it’s helpful to Dems, but this is why I’m not a good politician b/c I care too deeply about the harm on all people, even on those that hate my very existence.

The Trump admin is dismantling Freedom of Information Act offices. Then the offices send out emails like, β€œHello, the FOIA office has been placed on admin leave and is unable to respond to any emails.” The lengths this admin will go to ensure zero transparency with the American people is astounding.

An excellent illustration of the utter economic incontinence of the Trumpers' Tariff formula.

Not even wrong.

USAID was paying for the removal of Vietnam-era land mines in Cambodia. When aid was frozen, China stepped in to fund the project. Cambodia is pushed closer to China and further from us. This is an example of the soft power and humanitarian benefits of USAID.

To the world:
We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media hereβ€”but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.

β€”With love,
Your American allies.

It’s still hard to believe the simple fact that this is all self-imposed. Everything that’s happening right now wasn’t the result of some foreign adversary destroying the country. We did this all to ourselves by electing the dumbest motherfucker to ever rule a nation.

It’s time to mask back up (N95 or better please!)

Resistance is easier when you have your health.

Coping with fascism, climate change, supply chain disruptions & food shortages will be easier if you have your health.

Disabled people need your solidarity. Protect us & protect yourself. Mask up

Millions cancelling their trips and businesses in the United States due to Trump’s illegal ICE ethnic cleansing operations.

The damages created by Trump will exceed in the trillions of dollars. #3E #EndImpunity

Economic growth is slowing β€” so Trump wants to redefine β€œeconomic growth” The White House is promising to manipulate economic data.

Remember when he wanted to stop Covid testing so that the numbers wouldn’t keep going up?

To hack economic data is the same thing: β€œThe economy is booming - because I say so!”
