Trump just instituted the most crushing tariffs in modern history, higher than the Smoot Hawley tariffs that devastated the economy, highest in the world by a huge margin.

Every newspaper: “Trump enacts new tariffs, some prices may go up”

Tariff price tracker “Will continue updating the weekly prices of groceries and the monthly costs of new vehicles, used vehicles, parts, repairs, insurance premiums and construction and manufacturing raw materials.”

When i get really stressed i get horny which is. I should probably look into that but at least its not drugs?!

FITCH: “This is a game changer, not only for the US economy but for the global economy. Many countries will likely end up in a recession. You can throw most forecasts out the door, if this tariff rate stays on for an extended period of time." 🇺🇸

I love being a pervert

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

By me and @emilymullin.bsky.social:

With Section 230 Repeal, Dems and Media Offer Trump New Censorship Tools Dissolving Section 230 would empower a Trump-helmed federal government to force online platforms to stifle, or promote, certain speech.

Excellent reporting from @fairmediawatch.bsky.social explaining exactly what a lot of media get wrong on Section 230 and why Dems who are pushing a repeal in this moment have lost their damn minds fair.org/home/with-se...

I Believe That It’s Possible to Agree that the Prior Status Quo Was Bad While Also Acknowledging that Things Have Swiftly Become Much Worse

No matter your station in life, there is astoundingly little separating you from those men in that cage behind Kristi Noem. No charges, no attorneys, no hearings, no trial. Just conjecture and brute force could be enough to justify completely dehumanizing you, too.

The point is to intimidate people.

To scare them into compliance and silence.

And to broadcast the “power” of the dictator over even the rule of law.

Its shock value and glaring wrong-ness is the point.

A UA student was reportedly detained by the U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement early Tuesday morning. Alireza Doroudi, a doctoral student from Iran studying mechanical engineering, was reportedly arrested by ICE officers at around 5 a.m. at his home on Tuesday. According to a message sent in a group chat that included Iranian students Tuesday, Doroudi entered the U.S. on an F-1 student visa issued by the U.S. Embassy in Oman in January 2023, after clearing all immigration checks. The message said Dourodi had his visa revoked six months after his arrival in the U.S. “After receiving the revocation notice, Alireza immediately contacted ISSS [International Student and Scholar Services] at the University of Alabama,” the message said. “ISSS replied with confidence, stating that his case was not unusual or problematic and that he could remain in the U.S. legally as long as he maintained his student status.”

really the best week to accidentally reply:all to a work email tbh
your "it could have been worse" excuse will actually stand up

Keep hearing people say protests against first Trump administration were ineffective. Evidence suggests otherwise.
