Thank you @timothysnyder.bsky.social and thank you to every student who exercised their First Amendment right to free speech. I'm sorry the "president" hijacked your narrative for his own recognition. 🩵🪷

Sounds like it's going to take a toll on all those semiconductors we were going to make under the CHIPS Act he killed.

SDVibe @sdvibe.bsky.social · 3d

But since MAGA a) can't do math, and b) believes everything he says, then we'll all get paid for the anti-anxiety meds we're taking. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Fight! Fight! Fight!

Not instigating. Just repeating Trump's slogan on every cheap a** thing he's tryna sell.

I'm waiting for it to hit my BIL's family business. They keep saying, "Well, everyone's prices went up so we're still competitive," but who's buying when prices have skyrocketed?
