Wonderful thread here about how to proceed and which retailers to deal with while living under the scourge of unnecessary tariffs. Many suggestions as to how to help ensure our communities retain their humanity and ethics.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.
Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

Do not let Trump gaslight you into believing he has a mandate or is all powerful.
Most Americans don't support his agenda.
There will be backlash — and we must make sure it is swift.
