Trump is blinking so fast on these tariffs, it's like he's trying to send morse code.

The Silencing Americans Act (AKA "SAVE Act") could get a vote this ThursdayIndivisible

If you're not aware of HR-22, or "The Silencing Americans Act," read the below and take action. It's perhaps the biggest threat to voting rights in the United States in a generation, if not ever.

Yeah, we saw this coming too. We pulled everything out of stocks early in March. I told our broker that Trump was about to fly the economy into a mountain. He didn’t say he agreed, but the day we cashed out, he said, β€œYou’re pulling out at the market peak.” I think he knew what was coming too.

At this moment, the Dow is down ANOTHER 2,000 points, wiping out more than a year of gains.

How is this winning working out for everybody?

Stop mincing words. Soft-pedaling fascism with less frightening words is exactly what they want.

This was my first thought. As a records manager for thirty years, this immediately sounded to me like an attempt to circumvent federal recordkeeping and reporting requirements, and as such, it becomes criminal activity.

This is exactly the right way to deal with a megalomaniac. No conversation until Trump respects Canadian sovereignty.

P.S... I'm now giving a free ride on the trebuchet for any of my followers/friend who support either Trump or Poilievre. Feel free to out yourself, if you'd like a free ride...

Universities are caving to Trump with a stunning speed and scope Some of the nation’s oldest and wealthiest institutions are swiftly bending to President Donald Trump, who is acting on longstanding conservative criticisms of universities as elitist and progressive.

My home for more than 25 years:

"Dartmouth College on Monday announced it had hired the Republican National Committee’s former chief counsel β€” an outspoken critic of birthright citizenship β€” as the college’s top lawyer and leader of its immigration office."

Re-reading one of the classics. Unfortunately, the sequel is going to suck.

Everyone... EVERYONE... Needs to understand it's not safe to travel to the US.

It doesn't matter what country you're coming from, what your citizenship status is, or even what politics you hold.

ICE may snatch anyone, for any reason.

Every border crossing is rolling the dice.

Just don't do it.

This is an important lesson. Hayes breaks down how Schumer's "we're not in a crisis yet" mentality fails us. And how Democrats are still "fighting the last war."

If our leaders don't recognize the severity of this assault, how can we hope that they will effectively lead the resistance?

This continues to be jaw-droppingly insane. The "Justice Department" (quotes intentional) under Pam Bondi is fighting AGAINST a federal judge, trying to argue he doesn't have the right to make any check on executive authority. This is upside-down-town. And terrifyingly dangerous.

Tell me this photo isn’t horrifying.

The men with their roughly shaved heads, huddled together on the floor in their underwear. The guards with their faces covered, hovering over them with batons and riot shields.

America, what a sad, terrifying, pathetic nightmare you’ve become…
