LISTEN to Barack Obama: The most important office in this democracy is the citizen.

Freedom tomorrow is not a given—it has to be fought for.

Trump headlining $1 million a person super PAC dinner as stocks sink over tariffs Donors attending the Mar-a-Lago candlelight fundraising dinner Friday are being charged $1 million a plate.

People are losing their jobs and savings, prices are rising higher, and the entire economy is on the brink of disaster—but Donald Trump couldn’t care less.

His billionaire political donors will be just fine.

It’s weird* that the president can just decide to put a huge tax on American businesses without congress even being a little bit involved.

* very unconstitutional

Myanmar US firings: I am told these are PSC’s - personal service contractors.

They are still on the ground in Myanmar now. I do not know the date their termination takes effect. But they have been told they are being fired.

I have asked the State Dept for comment.

Could they telegraph their depravity and cruelty in a more public fashion? But I guess that's the plan, show their adoring public how tough they are. Totally disgusted.

Tonight, we forced Republicans to take a simple vote:

Can we all agree that billionaire corporations like Amazon and Tesla - who take home over $1 billion in sheer profit a year - shouldn't get another tax handout?

Republicans said no.

It’s a fire sale…

This is part of what’s so insane. As they talk about re-shoring and manufacturing they are actively trying to destroy an entire us manufacturing industry that already exists.

This shatters my heart, especially b/c I wasn't inspired by history until the Western Civilization course I took at CCRI ('07-2010.) This became even more ignited by @hcrichardson.bsky.social letters when she began them! If someone in HS said I'd become an activist after 2015, I wouldn't believe it!

PUT THIS ON BLAST:

Trump’s tariffs just pushed the risk of a U.S. and global recession this year up to 60%—up from 40%, according to J.P. Morgan.

THATS NOT ALL:

The White House made up the numbers—Trump Math 🤡

This asshole raised prices and ruined your retirement savings, and now he's out golfing for the rest of the weekend.

Arts and Humanities cuts have eliminated all federal funding of National History Day. My heart breaks for students preparing for State competitions this month/next, and National competition in June. An authoritarian play attacking teaching students to research, analyze sources and present FACTS. 💔

No tariffs on Russia. Huh?

“Territorial expansion” is the New York Times’ nice way of saying “invading other countries.”

Trump ran on a platform as a peace candidate who would stop endless wars and would end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours; but in the last 24 hours conceded that was not going to happen, & he wants to invade Greenland & Panama, and wants to take over Canada through economic warfare.
