As of today, import taxes (aka tariffs) have hit their highest level since the Great Depression. Americans are now expected to pay an average of 18.3% more for imported products. Remember when Trump ran on lowering costs?

Yes, this is really good advice. Hard to do but a good aim.

I would love to see and hear more about how to live during this insanity. Like, how are we functioning and keeping our humanity and not losing hope and and and …. All the things.

We are a nation ruled by criminals.
No more.
The moral must fight back.

I will not be replacing my current iPhone with a new one when she dies.

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

My son in his 20’s just got laid off and needs healthcare. The cheapest policy he could get on the ACÁ was almost $400 a month. That’s NOT affordable.
We need universal healthcare and we need the middlemen out.

I don’t want to live in a surveillance state. I just wanna go outside and everybody mind their own business. 😩

We are already an authoritarian country. We’re not working to prevent it; we’re now working…to get out of it.

At first I thought it was some Maga having a fit then it hit me that they are encouraging blue state governors to get involved and gerrymander back!

To be fair, this is the only thing I have in common with her. Decorating for Christmas sucks and I hate it. πŸ™ƒ

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.Β 

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

This was really interesting. Thank you for sharing it.
β€œSome would rather learn to die than learn to fight.” Will be chewing on that for a while, a think.

Has anyone found any good articles/podcasts/books etc about coping during these times. I am struggling and can see many others are, too. Tools to cope would be appreciated.

I’m also on my second free haircut by my kid. πŸ˜‚ It’s Covid survival mode all over again but this time because I’m withholding my dollars as protest.

It felt like a very direct and honest message to the people. It was jarring and scary and sad and infuriating. A call to action. But what, I’m still not sure.

Dems. Wanna get your polling out of the gutter? Stop talking about redrawing house maps in blue states and do it. Go big. Don't match them seat for seat. Blow them out of the water. Then endorse Mamdani. You're welcome.

Love, Allison
