ECONOMY IN SHAMBLES
U.S. job cuts hit 275,240 in March 2025, the highest since the pandemic peak in 2020, surpassing 2001 & 2008 recessions. Layoffs surge as federal cuts, led by DOGE, echo Covid-era losses.
It's the third highest monthly total on record.

Okay, Bluesky, tell me something good that happened to you this week. Doesn’t have to be a big thing. Just something good.

Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill.
Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

Tell them:

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

Fuckheads. Family values? Christian values? Like I said, what a bunch of immoral fuckheads.
The Agriculture Department has axed two programs that gave schools and food banks money to buy food from nearby farms and ranchers. Roughly $660 million that schools and child care facilities were counting on to purchase food has been canceled.
This will hurt both kids and small, local farmers.

Trump is weak, compromised and corrupt. Even worse, he’s a traitor to America who’s shamelessly selling out our country to his puppet master Putin on a daily basis.
Any Republican in Congress who supports him at this point is just as much of a traitor. Fuck them all.
