It does. But as countries start to reorganize their economies to be less America-centric, it will hopefully stop having such a widespread effect in the future.

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law.

A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections.

We need to stand up together and speak up.

“Changing leaves” ✏️ ❤️💙 #Caitvi #StillFantastic #Inktober

Colored pencil drawing of a maple leaf divided into red and blue halves, filled with intricate gear and jewel-like patterns inspired by Arcane’s Vi and Caitlyn. The leaf rests on beige paper with red and blue pencils beside it, symbolizing change and duality for the ‘changing leaves’ theme.

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

Jeffries: “Republicans acted with great urgency to swear in two right-wing members of congress to do in the American people… What is the delay with respect to Representative-elect. Grijalva? Anything to do with Republicans continuing effort to hide the Epstein files? Inquiring minds want to know.”
