This is an excellent snapshot of the bad, the ugly, and the good of present-day New York Times journalism. The paper still does stellar enterprise reporting and investigations, but its framing of day-to-day Trump atrocities is persistently impotent.

If he has to tear down women and anyone he can’t control, don’t call him a leader. Call him a coward.

It’s disgusting.

Here's part 2 & the link to the original post & my post. I had to break it in half because it was to long to post on Bluesky but incredibly important to share.

Would you be willing to share these examples of #ICELawlessness on your socials?

“They came into the building understanding it was a daycare. They did not have a warrant. It is a violation of our rights. It is a violation of these children’s rights. They are terrorizing our community.”

Trump’s ICE goons raided a damn daycare.

Trump's own lawyer just admitted to the Supreme Court that American consumers pay 30%-80% of these insane Trump tariffs.

Over the next 10 years, Trump says they will collect over $4T in tariffs.

So that means American families are going to be paying $1.2T-$3.3 trillion dollars in TARIFF TAXES.
