Withholding support from corporations enabling the Trump regime is a powerful way to fight authoritarianism. Supporting the organizations who do fight back hard and organize others to fight is just as important. If you can, pitch in to power your friendly pro-democracy organizers at Indivisible.

We are living in a bifurcated economy.
Lower-end consumers are struggling and an estimated 67% say they are living paycheck-to-paycheck in the United States.
The top 10% are responsible for 50% of all the spending and have benefited deeply from rising stock prices. #EconSky

Still waiting on those Day 1 price drops
Host: You're probably noticing Thanksgiving prices are up. Poultry up 1.4% from a year ago. Mashed potatoes will cost you nearly 4% more this year. Prices for canned vegetables are nearly 5% higher. Bread is up 2%. And then we've got dessert, apples for that apple pie costing 5.3% more this year.

Tariffs Are Costing $1.8K per Family #ABlueView🧵1/3
budgetlab.yale.edu/r... calculates tariffs cost the average household $1,800 in 2025 & a big share of that comes from domestic manufacturers raising prices instead of selling more at their existing, lower prices.

This is what happens when you put tariffs on things you can't produce. (Or just put arbitrary tariffs on everything) 🤦♂️
Trump's Affordable Economy?
On the Eve of Destruction, 1/19/2025, I baselined things I commonly buy at my local Kroger in SE Michigan.
I check prices monthly. Here's November's tally for the worst increases. There are many smaller ones. Watch for shrinkflation! We're paying more for less every day.

Trump pardoned another MAGA child-sex predator 3 days ago.
Trump had already pardoned Andrew Taake for attacking a police officer with bear spray and a whip on Jan 6.
Now Trump has pardoned him again, so he avoids prison for child sex offenses.
