The craziest part about No Kings Day being the largest single day protest is that every prior mass protest in recent history happened during Trump except two, and those ones happened during Nixon and Reagan 😃😃

I suspect this slogan would not have been tremendously popular:
"Trump 2024: Your kids are going to get fewer toys and the ones they do get will cost more"

"If you're healthy" it's almost impossible to die of an infectious disease? I suppose that's technically correct, however if you contract an infectious disease then you automatically stop being healthy and then you may die.
This is what those in the trade refer to as an "illness"

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

He could suspend all his tariffs tonight and the markets would still puke tomorrow.

Economists think he’s certifiably crazy. Investors are freaked out.

The markets have decided they’re dealing with a madman…they’re less likely to react positively to his bullshit deal-making.

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

Americans will destroy themselves with an unnecessary trade war and a potential depression because they can't stand seeing people of color and women moving up a bit and getting a small piece of the pie.

Remembering Val Kilmer in Real Genius (1985). Somehow laser science got an astonishingly accurate pop culture movie. It didn’t have to accurately depict building and troubleshooting excimer lasers and yet somehow it did.

If I was a judge and a DOJ lawyer filed a brief saying "yes, we mistakenly shipped someone with a right to be here to a foreign gulag but you have no power to order us to bring him back" I'd put that lawyer in jail until that person was brought back.

NEW: @motherjones.com reports that one of the men renditioned to El Salvador is Neri Alvarado, who was working in Dallas as a baker. An ICE agent told him they were questioning all men with tattoos.

Neri has an AUTISM AWARENESS TATTOO in honor of his 15-year-old brother with autism.
