AOC/Buttigieg would make me happy

Good job! I did 30 days in 2018 and just kept at it. Will be 7 years in September.

The courage to be decent The Trump administration wants to make us too afraid to look out for one another. Don't let them.

Agents descended on an attorney’s home, used an electronic jamming device to kill his Wi-Fi, disabled his Ring camera, and refused to show ID. All because he did some pro bono immigration work to help out an undocumented family. radleybalko.substack.com/p/the-courag...

You saw the video of the ICE agent breaking a car window near the border, right? He wasn’t an ICE agent. He’s the founder of Veterans on Patrol, a FAR-RIGHT MILITIA patrolling the border for migrants. They’re basically deputizing militias to act as federal agents. This is dangerously out of control

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

Strong moment from AOC’s speech in Utah

20,000 in ruby red Utah on their feet, in community, and ready to organize for a better world.

A better world is possible.

One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months.

I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.

The fires of hell are not hot enough for the people who did this to him and so many others.

They WANTED innocent people to be caught up in this cruelty. That's why this evil government insisted on no due process.

Bill Ackman & F @BillAckman The country is 100% behind the president on fixing a global system of tariffs that has disadvantaged the country. But, business is a confidence game and confidence depends on trust. President @realDonaldTrump has elevated the tariff issue to the most important geopolitical issue in the world, and he has gotten everyone's attention. So far, so good. And yes, other nations have taken advantage of the U.S. by protecting their home industries at the expense of millions of our jobs and economic growth in our country. But, by placing massive and disproportionate tariffs on our friends and our enemies alike and thereby launching a global economic war against the whole world at once, we are in the process of destroying confidence in our country as a trading partner, as a place to do business, and as a market to invest capital. The president has an opportunity to call a 90-day time out, negotiate and resolve unfair asymmetric tariff deals, and induce trillions of dollars of new investment in our country. If, on the other hand, on April 9th we launch economic nuclear war on every country in the world, business investment will grind to a halt, consumers will close their wallets and pocket books, and we will severely damage our reputation with the rest of the world that will take years and potentially decades to rehabilitate.

What CEO and what board of directors will be comfortable making large, long-term, economic commitments in our country in the middle of an economic nuclear war? I don't know of one who will do so. When markets crash, new investment stops, consumers stop spending money, and businesses have no choice but to curtail investment and fire workers. And it is not just the big companies that will suffer. Small and medium size businesses and entrepreneurs will experience much greater pain. Almost no business can pass through an overnight massive increase in costs to their customers. And that's true even if they have no debt, and, unfortunately, there is a massive amount of leverage in the system. Business is a confidence game. The president is losing the confidence of business leaders around the globe. The consequences for our country and the millions of our citizens who have supported the president — in particular low-income consumers who are already under a huge amount of economic stress — are going to be severely negative. This is not what we voted for. The President has an opportunity on Monday to call a time out and have the time to execute on fixing an unfair tariff system. Alternatively, we are heading for a self-induced, economic nuclear winter, and we should start hunkering down. May cooler heads prevail.

Billionaire investor and major Trump supporter Bill Ackman:

“We are in the process of destroying confidence in our country as a trading partner, as a place to do business, and as a market to invest capital…”

“We are heading for a self-induced, economic nuclear winter..”

Much more in screenshots.

As the economic news keeps coming out over the coming weeks keep one thing in mind: this is the fault of one man and didn’t need to happen.

The administration is a perfect storm of dumb people who enjoy inflicting pain and are addicted to psychotic cruelty and quadrupling down. It ends in total ruin if you don't impeach him.

🍄 is getting his rocks off imposing these tariffs. He knows what this will do to us. He has so much self-hatred that hurting others is his way of coping with his negative self-perception. He's projecting his insecurities & anger onto us to superficially feel superior.
HE'S A MAGLIGNANT NARCISSIST

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

There are no tariffs being put on Russia. Hmmm

See also, liberation day.

So we could lose $200B in tourism, $100B in immigrants paying taxes, $100B in weapons manufacturing, $500B in lost tax revenue from firing IRS employees… is it sinking in yet?

Corrupt judges let a criminal get away with treason and run for president. Propagandists masquerading as journalists lied to enough people that the criminal won. Then the criminal sold a half share in the presidency to the world's richest man, whom no one voted for. That's what happened, folks.

This stupid turd is going to get Americans killed, if he hasn't already

Every single Democratic lawmaker should be calling for Hegseth's immediate resignation right now. Not just some. Not just a few dozen. Every single one, starting at the top with Mr. Schumer and Mr. Jeffries. And the fact that it hasn't happened yet is nearly as shocking as Hegseth's conduct.

A reminder, as if yet another one were needed, that these are not serious people. They are clowns.

I mean very obviously Hegseth should resign, and if it were a Democratic administration this would be quickly be a consensus position.

With Social Security, don't get too caught up talking about the minutiae.

THEY ARE TRYING TO TAKE AWAY SOCIAL SECURITY.

Lead with that every time, then talk about how: removing offices, ID verification, bogus fraud claims, layoffs, etc.

Set the narrative now. It's not alarmist. It's happening.

remember what i said before about physical control of buildings often being a decisive factor in the outcome of a coup?

the law didn't matter here because the cost of enforcing it once the criminals seized the building was too high, so the judge just says its okay for the criminals to keep it.
