A lot of people in power are demonstrating that they don’t actually believe in the premise of the Declaration of Independence or the republic as a concept. They believe that some people are created superior, and it is offensive and wrong for superiors to live bound by the needs of those below them.

If you're a reporter in a White House press briefing as the spokesperson for the government asserts flatly that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang who's guilty of human trafficking and you sit there silently without shouting out "PROVE IT!" I'd like to invite you to go fuck yourself.

Please repeat over and over:

“Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.”

—Gov. JB Pritzker

Zelensky wore a sweater and pants to show solidarity with his troops and he got destroyed, but Bukele showed up looking like the manager of a Staten Island nightclub and no one said a goddamn word.

potential message: the GOP just raised taxes by $6 trillion
potential message: the GOP is kidnapping and trafficking people for things they MIGHT say

dem message: the GOP might be insider trading—a thing you associate nancy pelosi with—and we're sending them a nice letter asking them for evidence

This isn't The Art of the Deal.
It's insider trading with a bad comb-over.

Step 1: Tank the Market, Scare the Non-Millionaires
Step 2: Let the Aristocrats Feast
Step 3: Flip, but say ‘Winning’
Step 4: Pretend None of This Ever Happened & Get Your Media Dregs To Do The Same

Rinse, Enrich, Repeat.

I cannot stress enough how much I do not give a fuck about these guys and their opinions now. It is THEIR FAULT Trump won (mostly).
Many of Trump’s top supporters who helped him win last year are now attacking him over his tariff policy, including Joe Rogan, Ben Shapiro, Dave Portnoy, and Bill Ackman.

“We are heading for a self-induced, economic nuclear winter.”
Joe Rogan, Dave Portnoy and Ben Shapiro are among Trump backers now questioning tariffs
As President Donald Trump’s tariffs roil global markets, some of the thought leaders and influential podcasters who backed the Republican’s campaign are voicing doubts.

There’s not enough attention on this. We are saying coming to the US is so heinous that with no trial or due process you will spend the rest of your life in the worst prison system in the world. WTF?!
I still can’t figure out when “we can deport you” turned into “we can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.”

How much money will these politicians and their donors have to lose before enough is enough? They could stop this at ANY TIME. And they are choosing not to. Sickening.

WARNER: Can you explain how it helps natl security or our trade balance - I loved your fancy Greek formula which was bad math on steroids - how with a trade surplus Australia got hit with a 10% tariff as well?

GREER: Australia has the lowest rate available

WARNER: We have a trade surplus!

If these other Rs would start saying it, the tides could turn away from this MAGA insanity. Refusal to speak truth is a big reason why we’re here.
Rand Paul says his fellow Republicans come up to him in the hill and whisper, "'free trade is good. Keep going.' But they don't want to say it because of the politics of it."

I think people reeeeealllly overestimate the role of trade and industrial policy in US dominance of heavy industry in the 1950s and really underestimate the importance of having dropped high explosives on every facility in Japan or Germany capable of manufacturing a ball bearing

I wish everyone who mocks and makes fun of the rallies and protests taking place lately would take note of this. Don’t underestimate the value of a morale boost. Esp. For those of us who feel alone in red states.
What I think was *really* beneficial about Hands Off is that people need to see (in real life) that they’re not alone.

In-person events and marches can really fill up people’s fighting tanks, so to speak. And this regime has handed us a really really long, tedious, and difficult fight.
