If the government can pay a foreign state to imprison you and, in so doing, remove you from the protection of US law, the Constitution is worthless.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

The right clearly believes that “free speech” means normal people have to subject themselves to trolling, hate speech, disinformation and bile on privately owned social media platforms. In fact, free speech simply means no government ordered censorship.

Here’s something to think about as you kick off 2025: ✨We are all stardust.✨
Every atom of oxygen in our lungs, of carbon in our muscles, of calcium in our bones, of iron in our blood—was created inside a star before Earth was born.

There’s talk out there about pardoning Trump. HELL NO. Donald Trump must NEVER be pardoned. He did something uniquely terrible & destructive to this country. He tried to overthrow an American election. That type of attack on our democracy must never be downplayed or forgiven. Ever.
